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 Only a secondary source (society, association, directory) supports the certification, while the official register of this class is open in the jurisdiction. Listed on the SODOCIPRE plastic-surgery society member roll. The Colegio Medico Dominicano certification lookup is keyed on the membership-card number only and has no name search, so no CMD specialty record was resolved in this pass. [sodocipre] |
SEC | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The practice names the responsible surgeon with his role and ties him to the published consultation address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: medical_licence, 20 September 2026 — 0 rows for the physician; surname-only and given-name-prefix variants were tried. A miss is a name-form mismatch, not a statement about the licence. Queried in the MISPAS national exequatur export; no row matched the physician under the spellings tried. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-20 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — 0 matching rows; the export holds three private cosmetic establishments nationally. Queried in the SNS habilitacion export; no matching establishment row. The export does not cover the whole private sector, so this is not a finding about the clinic. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The clinic publishes no legal entity — no company form, no registration number and no operating company named on the pages loaded (home, /acerca-del-doctor/, /procedimientos/, /turismo-medico/, /crisalix/, /medios/, /testimonios/). DGII, the national company register, answered HTTP 504 to both user agents on 2026-09-20. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Society affiliations (SODOCIPRE, ISAPS, ASPS) are shown without membership or licence numbers; no licence, habilitacion or company number is published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. Lexicon scan of the Spanish and English pages (home, about, procedures, medical-travel, media, testimonials): no guarantee, safety-absolute or superlative pattern in the practice’s own text; the medical-travel page states in writing that no particular result can be promised. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (es, en) on 2026-09-20: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two of the five document classes are published: risks and complications on the procedure pages and a revision section. Consent, aftercare and a complaint route were not found. [site] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

Who is responsible

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.
