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: EMAIL RESTORED — the submitted entry withheld it on the belief that the ABHRS record was truncated/malformed. Re-pulled this pass, the ABHRS registry cleanly lists [email protected], so the address is published; it is authority-sourced, not guessed. NAME DISCREPANCY SURFACED, NOT HIDDEN: the ABHRS registry lists 'Gerald E. Cooley, MD' while ISHRS, IAHRS and the clinic use 'Jerry Cooley' — same Charlotte address (10660 Park Rd) and same phone (704-542-1601) on both records confirm one physician; 'Jerry' is the working form of 'Gerald'. PRACTICE NAME CORRECTED to Cooley Hair Center, which is how the ISHRS directory records it. ADDRESS ADDED from ISHRS: 10660 Park Road Suite 4200, Charlotte NC 28210. The clinic domain (haircenter.com) returns HTTP 418 to automated requests, so every fact here comes from authority-body records and Google rather than site scraping. Google 4.0 on 36 reviews is the weakest signal in this entry and sits below his credential level — show it honestly with the count visible. No price published.
