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: CLAIM TRIMMED. 'ISHRS Past President and member of the ISHRS Board of Governors since 2012' and 'Arizona State Medical Board licence' were in the submitted entry but could NOT be confirmed against ISHRS or the Arizona Medical Board during this pass — both were removed from the credential and accreditation fields rather than published on trust. What IS confirmed at the authority bodies: ABHRS Verified Diplomate (2021) and ISHRS Fellow Member with the ABHRS badge. The email [email protected] is re-confirmed straight from her ABHRS registry record — authority-sourced, not guessed. ADDRESS: her ISHRS profile gives 2960 N Swan Rd Suite 217, Paradise Valley AZ, while the ABHRS registry and the practice both give 2940 N Swan Rd Suite 130, Tucson — the Tucson form is published here as the operating address. Google 4.1 on only 22 reviews is a thin sample sitting below her credential level; do not over-weight it in either direction. No price published.
