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: MAJOR CORRECTION — THE ENTIRE SUBMITTED SURGEON ROSTER WAS STALE OR MISATTRIBUTED, AND THE TIER DROPS FROM 1 TO 2. WMG's current 'Meet Our Team' page was fetched directly and names exactly TWO hair transplant surgeons: Dr Grahame Shaw and Dr Sebastian Deme. None of the three submitted principals appears on it. Specifically: (a) DR FURQAN RAJA HAS BEEN REMOVED. He was the sole basis for the Tier 1 rating via his IAHRS listing — but the IAHRS gives his address as 98 Harley Street, which is The Private Clinic, and his own site drraja.co.uk lists only 'London Harley St' and 'Leeds' with no mention of Westminster Medical Group, while The Private Clinic's own blog describes him as consulting for them in London, Manchester and Leeds. He is not a WMG surgeon, so the IAHRS accreditation claim has been stripped from this entry entirely. (b) DR MATT EGAN HAS BEEN REMOVED — he is not on WMG's current team page and his own practice is in Colchester (listed separately in this dataset); the WMG page for him dates to December 2024 and appears to be a stale orphan. (c) DR TALEB BARGHOUTHI HAS BEEN REMOVED from principals — the Hair Transplant Network directory does still list him at Westminster Medical Group, 134 Harley Street, but the clinic itself no longer shows him, so his current status is unresolved and it would be misleading to present him as a current surgeon. The HTN listing is retained as a source because it independently corroborates the clinic and the 134 Harley Street address. The submitted doctor photo (of Dr Egan) has been dropped, leaving photos[] empty rather than showing a surgeon who does not work here. WATCH THE ADDRESS: WMG's own team page says 134 Harley Street, but a third-party listing gives 31 Harley Street, W1G 9QS — confirm before publication. Both current surgeons hold only ASSOCIATE-grade ISHRS membership and neither was found in the ISHRS directory, hence verified:false for both and no authority-verified principal — which is exactly the Tier 2 definition. No published price. The rapid turnover of publicly-named surgeons at this brand is itself the most useful thing a reader can know.
