How to Check a London Hair Transplant Clinic and Surgeon

Check the address where your hair transplant will take place. A London consultation address, a clinic brand and the premises where surgery happens may be different. The Care Quality Commission registers services in England; the General Medical Council maintains the register of individual doctors.

Check the specific CQC location

Use the CQC register to look up the location by name and postcode. Compare its provider, address and registered activities with the details on your proposed surgical plan. Read the latest inspection information and its date. A location can be registered before its first inspection, so check the wording rather than assuming a rating.

Check the surgeon separately

Ask for the operating surgeon’s full name and GMC reference number. Look up their current registration and licence to practise. Discuss their training and experience with your pattern of hair loss, your hair characteristics and the surgery being proposed.

Ask who does each part of the operation

Who designs the hairline? Who extracts the grafts and creates the recipient sites? Who is responsible if something goes wrong that evening or after you return home? Request a consultation with the surgeon and written aftercare arrangements before deciding. MHB’s CQC location record for 205 Regent Street is linked below so you can check the details yourself.
