Sources & verification

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

Editorial note: Strongest verification of the set: ISHRS Fellow profile, independent Wikipedia article, IAHRS listing, Yelp (34 reviews), RealSelf, WebMD, Healthgrades all confirm a current, active Boca Raton practice. Patient-volume claims are marketing-variable (sources range from '~20,000 patients / 8,000 surgeries' to '34,000 patients / 12,000 surgeries') — treat as not load-bearing. Phone 561-394-0024 and address 1450 S Dixie Hwy, Boca Raton, FL 33432 published on clinic site and Yelp. No email published on contact page (left null — not guessed). Trustpilot dropped from prior pass: only 1 review, too thin for a rating.
