About TransplantMatch
We're building the most transparent, data-driven platform for hair restoration research — because one of the biggest decisions of your life shouldn't depend on Google ads and paid reviews.
Our Mission
Hair transplant surgery is a $5+ billion global industry — and it's shockingly opaque. Clinics spend millions on marketing while patients struggle to find honest information about outcomes, pricing, and surgeon qualifications.
TransplantMatch exists to fix that asymmetry. We aggregate clinic data, verify credentials, collect real patient experiences, and present it all in a format that lets you make an informed decision — not an emotional one driven by before-and-after photos cherry-picked by marketing teams.
We believe every patient deserves access to the same quality of information, whether they're considering a $4,000 procedure in Istanbul or a $25,000 surgery in Manhattan.
What We Do
Compare 120+ Verified Clinics
Side-by-side comparisons across 15 countries with standardized pricing, technique details, and credential verification.
Read Real Patient Reviews
220+ verified reviews from real patients, not testimonials filtered by clinic marketing departments.
Get Matched to Your Best Fit
Our quiz algorithm considers your hair loss pattern, budget, location preference, and goals to recommend clinics — not just the ones who pay us.
Learn from Expert Guides
20+ in-depth guides covering procedures, recovery, financing, and medical tourism — all medically reviewed.
How We Make Money (Transparency)
TransplantMatch earns referral fees when patients request consultations through our platform. When you submit a quote request or use our matching quiz, we may connect you with partner clinics who compensate us for qualified leads.
This is how we keep the platform free for patients. However, our rankings and reviews are never influenced by commercial relationships. Clinics cannot pay for higher placement, and our Trust Score algorithm weighs objective criteria like credentials, patient outcomes, and accreditation — not advertising spend.
What This Means for You:
- ✓ All clinics are listed regardless of partnership status
- ✓ Rankings use the same algorithm for partners and non-partners
- ✓ Negative reviews are never removed at a clinic's request
- ✓ Price data comes from public sources and patient reports
- ✓ We disclose affiliate relationships on individual pages
