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: CONFIRMED current and tier-1. Dr Maurice Collins verified as current Founder/Medical Director and ISHRS Fellow (clinic page + independent ISHRS Surgeon-of-the-Month record + HuffPost author profile). Dr Wall now titled Medical Director & Consultant Dermatologist; Dr O'Connor with clinic since 2010 — both current, ISHRS listed. Dr Vondrys (Surgical Director, joined 2023) is current but has NO stated hair-restoration authority-body membership, so verified=false for him. Note the live team page adds Dr Nicole L. Farrell. Independent corroboration: hairtransplantclinics.com, HuffPost (Collins author page), heydublin.ie, drvisor. WhatClinic/Clinictor are aggregators and were NOT counted.
