Notable

Multi-site Pune dermatology group (Pimple Saudagar, Baner, Kharadi, Prabhat Road) operating alongside the sister Clear Skin brand, founded 1989. Publishes consultation fees openly (₹2,000 first consultation with Dr. Dhananjay Chavan; ₹1,000 at some sites) and maintains a machine-readable business-info page — unusually good disclosure practice for the sector.

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: Tier 2 — this is the definition case for the tier: multiple genuinely independent sources (Google Business Profile, Practo, Justdial, LinkedIn company page), real verifiable contact and named doctors, but NO authority-verified principal. Neither Dr. Dhananjay Chavan nor any other HairMD doctor appears in the ISHRS directory, the ABHRS Diplomate registry or the AHRS India roster — the three bodies that matter in this niche. His qualification is a 1989 Diploma in Dermatology, not an MCh or a hair-restoration board certification, so verified:false despite a long and well-documented career; the entry does not dress this up. WHO ACTUALLY OPERATES: surgical delivery appears to sit with other named doctors (Dr. Sachin Pawar, Dr. Dhruv Chavan) rather than the founder, and patients should confirm the operating surgeon before booking. The critical reviews concern non-surgical hair-loss courses (PRP/mesotherapy) and consultation-fee handling, not transplant outcomes — that distinction is deliberate and should not be flattened. SECOND EMAIL STRIPPED: the candidate carried [email protected], which belongs to the sister dermatology brand, not to HairMD, and publishing it here would misroute enquiries. Third candidate photo (Dr. Dhanraj Chavan) dropped — not a listed principal. Only consultation fees are published, no transplant price, so priceOrRange is null.
