Notable

Practises both FUE and FUT/strip rather than FUE-only, which matters for high-Norwood donor planning. Two verified California locations (Newport Beach and Beverly Hills) confirmed via the ISHRS directory record rather than clinic marketing.

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: NAME MATCH RESOLVED, NOT A RED FLAG: the ISHRS directory lists him as 'Amir Yazdanshenas, MD' and IAHRS as 'Amir Yazdan, MD'. Confirmed the same physician — identical phone (949-374-2563) and identical Newport Beach address on both records. REVIEW ROW REMOVED: the submitted 'RealSelf 4.9 / 55 reviews' was pulled from a RealSelf city surgeon-finder page for Glendale, CA, not from Dr. Yazdan's own RealSelf profile, so the rating could not be attributed to him and was stripped rather than published. Only the Reddit reference remains as a patient-side signal, which is thin — flagged plainly. Google Business Profile returned no rating/review count across passes, so no Google row is asserted. The clinic's own site carries self-awarded 'top doctor in the world' page titles — marketing puffery, excluded from accreditations. BEVERLY HILLS LOCATION ADDED from the ISHRS record. No ABHRS listing, so this stays Tier 2. No price published.
