Notable

Two of the six UK surgeons in the IAHRS's Europe directory work here — the directory was re-fetched and places both Kovacheva and Vida at 75 Wimpole Street. Publishes an actual price band rather than a 'from £X' teaser, is CQC-registered with a Good rating, and has a traceable Companies House entity trading since 2007.

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: VERIFIED ON RE-CHECK and slightly strengthened: the IAHRS Europe directory was fetched directly and confirms both Kovacheva and Vida at 75 Wimpole Street W1G 9RS, so both principals are now marked verified:true. Added two independent public-record sources the original submission lacked — the CQC location record and the Companies House entity (06014279). Be precise about grade, though: both are IAHRS ASSOCIATE members, and neither was located as an ISHRS Fellow or Full Member, so the ISHRS claim is a joining year from the clinic's own bio, not a directory-confirmed grade. NAME COLLISION worth flagging to readers: this clinic (hshairclinic.co.uk, 75 Wimpole Street) is routinely confused with BOTH the Wimpole Clinic (2/20 Harley Street) and with 'Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics' (a different operator that fronts Dr Mohammed Ditta) — three separate businesses whose names and addresses cross over. Google Business Profile lists it as 'HS Hair Clinic'. The unverified Trustpilot row from the original submission has been left out entirely rather than guessed. Marketing leans on self-referential 'Best Hair Transplant Doctors in the World 2023/2024/2025' framing on the doctor page, which is not an award from any recognised body.
