Editorial note: DOWNGRADED FROM TIER 2 TO TIER 3 — kept because the ISHRS verification is real and the site is live, but the corroborating evidence is too thin for tier 2 and the inconsistencies are too many. ISHRS profile 618533 fetched and resolves as 'Sait Bircan, MD | Hair Surgeon | Istanbul, Turkey'. Site live (HTTP 200). What forced the downgrade: (1) NO Google Business rating is retrievable at all, so the entire review picture rests on Trustpilot 4.1 from 13 — a very small base for a clinic marketing internationally, which is itself a flag rather than a neutral fact; (2) ADDRESS INCONSISTENCY — the ISHRS directory lists Polat Tower Residence, Fulya, Şişli, while the clinic website lists Defterdar Mah., Eyüpsultan, two different districts of Istanbul with no explanation offered; (3) CONTACT INCONSISTENCY — three different phone numbers appear across the site, Trustpilot and ISHRS, and the number presented most prominently is a UK mobile (+44), a common structure where the first point of contact is an overseas sales agent rather than the clinic. All three numbers are published here with their sources attached rather than picking one and presenting it as authoritative. ACCREDITATION STRIPPED: the previous entry listed 'States operating at a JCI-accredited hospital' as an accreditation. That has been REMOVED from the accreditations array — it refers to a hospital used for 2021 operations, not to this clinic, it was never confirmed against JCI's own accredited-organisation register, and carrying a third party's accreditation in a clinic's own credential list is misleading. The site does not claim Dr. Bircan personally performs each procedure and notes he 'works with teams', so no surgeon-performed claim is asserted.
