Sources & verification

Last verified 2026-07-12 · placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: VERIFIED (re-verified 2026-06-20). Dr. Koray Erdoğan confirmed BY NAME in IAHRS own Turkey member directory (re-fetched: 'Koray Erdogan, MD - Istanbul, IAHRS member') — strongest possible authority source. Current status confirmed via 2025 milestones and active RealSelf profile. 5 independent sources: IAHRS directory, RealSelf, Hair Restoration Network forum, Trustpilot, Yandex Maps (independent of Google). Reviews mixed on forums — both excellent and a few poor-growth/donor-overharvest complaints (honest signal for a high-profile surgeon). Photo URL re-validated: direct IAHRS image file returns a valid JPEG (gd-jpeg, ~36.7KB). [merged batch-1 enrichment from 'ASMED Hair Restoration (Dr. Koray Erdogan)' 2026-07-12]
