Notable

Patient reports independently corroborate the single most important quality question in this industry — that the named surgeon, not a technician, is the primary operator for the full 8–10 hour case. That is a directly checkable delivery-model claim rather than a marketing line.

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: ABHRS UPGRADED from a bare 'listing' to Verified Diplomate, certification year 2016, pulled from the board's registry this pass; his ISHRS profile independently carries the ABHRS Diplomate badge and Fellow Member status. Email [email protected] re-confirmed from the ABHRS record — authority-sourced, not a guessed domain pattern. NOT an IAHRS member — he does not appear in the live IAHRS member list, and no IAHRS claim is made here. ADDRESS NUANCE: ABHRS records '12115 SW 70th Street, Tigard OR' while ISHRS and the GBP record '12115 SW 70th Ave, Portland OR 97223' — Street/Ave and Tigard/Portland describe the same suburban location; publish the GBP form. PHONE: the ISHRS profile carries a different number (503-887-7477) from the ABHRS record and GBP (503-693-1118); the latter is published as the main line. Reddit threads mention specific procedure costs but no figure is published by the clinic, so priceOrRange is null. No doctor headshot captured — the bio page yields only social icons, and this pass would not substitute an image-search face.
