Dr. Joe Greco | Greco Dermatology

One of Dr. Joseph Greco’s earliest memories was watching his grandfather take care of patients in his home. Greco used to tag along on house calls too, often receiving gifts from regular patients. Though that was many years ago in a rural coal-mining town in Pennsylvania, it isn’t hard to see that his grandfather’s commitment to providing exceptional medical care has carried on through each generation of the Greco family.

As a third generation medical provider, Dr. Greco also learned from his father (Dr. Joseph Greco Jr.), who has been practicing hair restoration for over 30 years in Sarasota. Dr. Joe’s grandfather was one of the first doctors in the U.S. to perform hair transplant surgery. He passed that knowledge on to Dr. Joseph Greco Jr., who then developed innovative treatments in hair restoration and trained Dr. Joe. Today, the hair restoration center at Greco Dermatology provides unique solutions for hair loss—both surgical and non-surgical. Greco’s wife, Vicky Greco, is the aesthetics director and specializes in scalp micro-pigmentation, scar camouflage, and microblading

A Double Board Certified physician, previously Director of UCLA Santa Monica Dermatology, and Health Sciences Associate Clinical Professor at UCLA—Dr. Greco toyed with the idea of moving his family to Sarasota. Though he loved what he was doing and felt attached to his patients, he missed working alongside his father. This past March, he took the leap. The family aspect is the force behind him going into medicine, so it made sense to make the move. “After being at UCLA for 15 years and practicing at a high level, with a constantly packed schedule, coming here feels like starting over,” he said “I have more time with my patients now, I’m taking my kids to school, and I’m hanging out with my dad. How many times was that going to happen if I still lived in California?”

Will there be a Dr. Joseph Greco the 4th? According to Dr. Greco, a next possible successor, his two-year-old son, Joey, has not decided what he wants to be when he grows up. Though Dr. Greco admits that “it would be great if the family legacy  continued for a 4th generation.”
