From the beginning Dr. Anastasakis noted the need of the public for immediacy in communication with doctors but also for better access to documented information. He developed a new experience of communicating with the public, using all the available technology and social networking platforms. On YouTube he created the only channel in Greece exclusively dedicated in hair transplantation. The channel hosts more than 350 videos related to patient stories, answers to their questions, frequently asked questions and a number of topics about hair transplantation. The acceptance of the public is unprecedented, as the channel within 4 years exceeded 9,000,000 views and 200,000 hours of watching time in total. For this unique way of communicating, Dr. Anastasakis was awarded as Influencer Hair Restoration Doctor at the Influencer Awards 2020 in Greece, in the Best Brand Storytelling by an Influencer section.
