Sources & verification

Compiled into the 2026-08-14 dataset build. No separate re-verification date is recorded for this clinic. Placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: VERIFIED. Authority-body proof: SMMC official site (smmc.mx/nosotros) states the society 'es fundada y presidida por el Dr. Héctor Treviño' — confirms him as current founder/president of the issuing body itself (strongest credential). Second independent: Spex Hair independent surgeon profile (spexhair.com) listing his credentials/memberships (direct fetch 403 but indexed/real). Tijuana NewCity Medical Plaza branch corroborated via independent directories (MyHair, hairtransplantclinics.com) and GBP. RED-FLAG DISCOUNTED: heavy reliance on 'best in Mexico' superlatives and paid PR (GlobeNewswire/einpresswire/Yahoo-syndicated, almomento/sobre-t republished press releases) — these are PR, NOT independent proof, and were excluded from the source count. Second surgeon Dr. Carlos Rodriguez named in reviews but NOT credential-verified — flagged, not counted. Tijuana branch GBP used for rating (5.0/168); multi-branch, other locations have separate listings. Tier 1 strictly on Treviño's confirmed authority-body presidency.
