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 — real, established clinic and part of a legitimate international Maxim network (corporate site maximhairrestoration.com corroborates the PH branch and Dr. Abenojar's full name John Michael Gereard Abenojar). Principals CURRENT. BUT no hair-restoration authority-body credential: Dr. Abenojar holds FPAPRAS (national plastic-surgery board), NOT ISHRS/ABHRS — not found in either directory this pass (verified:false). Independent sourcing is thinner than the other two: Yelp + Facebook + Maxim network corporate site (independentSourceCount 2, treating the network corporate page as brand-adjacent rather than fully independent). Photos for Abenojar and Jayme are clean clinic portraits (high), kept; Paraiso has no clean portrait. Phone +63 917 681 0529 and WhatsApp +63 947 524 6759 from the clinic site; email not published (not guessed). Not a marketing-front — named surgeons, physical Makati address, franchise backing.
