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: Strongest SA candidate. Named CURRENT doctors on own team page with HPCSA numbers; Dr Jankelowitz's HPCSA MP0469750 independently corroborated (RocketReach + own dedicated site). Independent presence: Hellopeter (SA review platform, shows a TrustIndex profile), africabz.com business listing, bestclinic.com. Tier held at 2 (not 1) because NO principal is confirmed in an ISHRS/IAHRS/ABHRS/IBHRS authority-body directory — HPCSA is medical licensing, not the hair-restoration authority body. medihair.com, whatclinic.com, mymeditravel.com are commission aggregators, excluded from independent count. No published email found — do not guess one.
