AccreditationsISHRS Fellow Member (FISHRS) — VERIFIED in the ISHRS member directory, profile 50505, at the same Harley Street address the clinic publishes, ABHRS Diplomate, BAHRS Full Medical Member

Notable

Narrow, unusual specialism: hairline and temple restoration by FUE, single-surgeon, one case at a time. Holds all three credentials that matter in this niche simultaneously — ISHRS Fellowship, ABHRS Diplomate status and BAHRS full medical membership — which very few UK practitioners hold together.

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: CONFIRMED ON RE-CHECK: the ISHRS directory profile 50505 was fetched directly and returns 'Mark Tam, BM; FISHRS', clinic 'Hair Transplant By Dr Mark Tam', 121 Harley Street, Mezzanine Suite, London W1G 6AX, membership grade Fellow Member — name, clinic and address all match the submission exactly. ABHRS Diplomate status is independently corroborated. Ratings must NOT be blended: Google is 4.9 from 101 reviews, but Trustpilot is 3.7 from a sample of TWO, which is statistically meaningless and must always be displayed with its count rather than as a headline. No price is published anywhere on the site; Reddit users report it as one of the more expensive UK options and one r/HENRYUKLifestyle commenter cites figures around £20k for larger cases — that is patient hearsay, not a clinic quote, so priceOrRange stays null. Detailed multi-year Reddit write-ups with graft counts (2,566 and 2,500) are the strongest independent patient evidence here.
