Sources & verification

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

Editorial note: Tier 1: principal ISHRS-Fellow verified in the issuing-body directory (doctor/49503, joined 2006, active) with a directory photo byte-validated as image/jpeg. Independent corroboration: ISHRS authority body + Google Maps/GBP (Serper Places) + Trustpilot live profile + press/Wikipedia (>=4 independent). Pricing is consultation-based and not transparently listed — figures are press/estimate, tagged accordingly. Minor flag: the Trustpilot listing carries a 'Crown Cosma Clinic' name on the crownclinic.co.uk domain (low review count ~10) — noted, not disqualifying.
