Editorial note: KEPT AT TIER 2, WITH THE MAIN DOUBT RESOLVED IN THIS PASS. The candidate research flagged that every Google review is 7–10 years old with no recent independent activity, which raised the real possibility that the surgeon had wound down — an automatic drop under the 'surgeon has left and no confirmed replacement' rule. I checked the hospital's own doctor page (medwayhospitals.com, an entity separate from the V-Graft brand) and Dr. Vasan is CURRENTLY listed as a practising Consultant in Hair Transplant Surgery at the Kodambakkam branch, with the ABHRS Diplomate credential restated there. He stays in. Not promoted to Tier 1 because the independent PATIENT evidence remains genuinely thin and stale — 51 reviews, none recent — so nothing corroborates current volume or current results, only current practice. No usable Practo profile could be isolated; searches surface an unrelated Chennai general physician with a similar name and those records must NOT be merged. The clinic website timed out repeatedly, so no site-published email, price or photo was captured; the ABHRS and ISHRS records carry different phones and both are given rather than one picked.
