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: WEAK ENTRY KEPT, AND WHY. Verification rests on IAHRS membership plus the American Hair Loss Association listing, a Hair Transplant Network physician page and two review platforms (Google 4.9/63, Yelp 15 reviews) — that clears the two-independent-source bar, but he is ABSENT from both the ABHRS public registry (all 293 listings searched) and the ISHRS directory, so Tier 2 is firm and a future pass should attempt a Virginia Board of Medicine licence confirmation. TRADING NAME ADDED: the practice appears as 'Nova Hair Center' in the authority listings and as 'Lindsey Medical / Lindsey Medical Hair Transplant Center' on Yelp and the local business record — a buyer searching one name will not find the other, so both are published. Address 1401 Chain Bridge Rd Suite 303, McLean VA 22101. SCOPE CAVEAT: his practice is predominantly facial plastic surgery (4,000+ facelifts) with hair transplantation as one service line (~2,100 cases), so a reader should confirm hair-specific case volume at consultation. The clinic domain refused automated connections again this pass, so no site-side email, price or photo could be captured — all left null rather than inferred.
