Editorial note: ONE CLAIM WITHDRAWN. The submitted entry asserted ISHRS membership citing ishrs.org/doctor/tcarmanmd/; that URL resolves to an empty ISHRS profile shell with no name, membership status or address, so ISHRS membership is NOT confirmed and has been removed from both the credential line and the accreditations field. What IS confirmed: the ABHRS registry record (Verified Diplomate, cert. 2011, recert. 2021, matching La Jolla Blvd address and phone) and the live IAHRS member list. Tier 1 stands on those two. EMAIL WITHHELD: the ABHRS record does carry a contact address for him, but it is a personal mac.com mailbox rather than a practice channel, so it is deliberately not published as a patient-facing contact. REVIEW SAMPLE IS THE THINNEST IN THIS BATCH at 10 Google reviews — the 5.0 rating on that base is statistically meaningless and must always be shown with the count, never as a headline star rating. Address consistent across ABHRS, GBP and the clinic site. No price published.
