DHI India — Hair Transplant Clinic, Bengaluru
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 44.4/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #18 of 21 ranked clinics · last checked 30 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Branch of a nationwide hair-transplant chain on Lavelle Junction. The clinic's own site names a network-wide roster of DHI-certified surgeons without confirming which are based exclusively at this branch, and states an outcome guarantee for its hair-restoration method. A National Accreditation Board for Hospitals search under several name variants found no record matching the clinic's own accreditation claim; the specialist-board and medical-licence registers for Karnataka could not be queried.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Dr. Sanjeev Paria (named on this branch's network-wide roster) is found on the Delhi Medical Council register via the NMC national cross-check (DMC/R/6285, registered 2010); the NMC national list does not disclose specialty. The other four roster doctors (Kuntal Deb Barma, Nishat Fatima Ali K, Deepak Choudhary, Roby Bose) could not be confirmed on any reachable register this pass (Barma: searched full NMC "Barma" set at start=0 and start=800/1450 of 1556, no match; Choudhary/Bose too common a surname to search exhaustively; Nishat: no exact match in first 100 of 229). [nmc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician A name appears in only one place on the site. Multiple named surgeons published on a network-wide roster; this branch page does not confirm which are physically based at this specific address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Same NMC record as M1: Dr. Sanjeev Paria matched by name, Delhi Medical Council registration DMC/R/6285 (2010). [nmc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-08-30 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). Legal entity named on the clinic's own site footer ("Silvermaple Healthcare Services Private Limited"); the Ministry of Corporate Affairs company register (legal_entity class) is not machine-accessible (Akamai WAF 403 on every route, re-probed 2026-09-18) and no working secondary route (OpenCorporates, Zaubacorp: both 403; Tofler: client-rendered, no result) was found this pass. [site-legal] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Accreditation status is claimed prominently ("NABH-Accredited") but no certificate number is published; no physician licence numbers published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty An unconditional absolute about the patient's future safety or the treatment outcome — zero risk, no complications, “100% safe”, “result guaranteed” — in the clinic's own rendered text (bright line; cap 65). Outcome guarantee found in the site's own FAQ text (a second guarantee statement — "guarantees natural, high-quality results" — appears in the same FAQ block); the site also carries systematic superlatives ("India's No.1...", "World's Safest...", "Most Trusted..."). [site] This scientific approach guarantees the best long-term natural results. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-08-30 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. The clinic's own home page states its procedure "minimiz[es] risks such as infections or complications" (risk/contraindication class present). No informed-consent, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route content found on the home page loaded this pass. [site] |

Score ceilings
- Outcome guarantee or ‘100% safe’-class statement — ceiling 65/100The clinic's own page https://www.dhiindia.com/ (en, 2026-08-29) states: “This scientific approach guarantees the best long-term natural results.”. Under this methodology an outcome guarantee caps the score at 65.[site]

These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
