Notable

Bulgaria's most internationally recognised hair transplant surgeon; the single Bulgaria surgeon recommended on the Hair Transplant Network authority coalition. Multiple independent patient-review threads on Hair Restoration Network. Community sentiment split on high price / long waitlists; remote consultations reportedly difficult without travelling to Sofia.

Sources & verification

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

Editorial note: VERIFIED. Address: Bul. Simeonovsko Shose 97K, Sofia. Independent (non-aggregator) confirmation across 3+ sources: Hair Transplant Network (authority coalition, sole recommended BG surgeon), Hair Restoration Network forum (multiple named patient-review threads), press ('World's Top 25 Hair Transplant Surgeons'). ISHRS membership appears in his bio via directories (Spex/Thairapy) but was NOT confirmed in the ISHRS official directory this pass — treat authority-body membership as claimed, coalition membership as confirmed. Principal is current and eponymous. No email/WhatsApp published — left null (not guessed). No high-confidence direct photo captured, so photos left empty.
