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; not resolved to a CMD Especialidad record in this pass. [sodocipre] |
SEC | 26 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the MISPAS national exequatur register (decree 49-10, 26/01/2010). [mispas] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-01 | |
| 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 whole export holds three private cosmetic establishments nationally (CENTRO INTERNACIONAL DE CIRUGIA PLASTICA AVANZADA CIPLA, CENTRO DE CIRUGIA PLASTICA Y LIPOESCULTURA CECILIP, INSTITUTO DERMATOLOGICO DOMINICANO Y CIRUGIA DE PIEL DR HUBERTO BOGAERT DIAZ); a miss is not evidence about the clinic. 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, /contacts/, /team/santos-arismendy-md/, /services/team-approach/). 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 No identifiers at all. No licence or registration identifiers published on the pages checked. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| 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). The physician's own English-language page states an outcome guarantee. [site] Top specialist and surgeons only for a guaranteed success and maximum result |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. The host hospital publishes an informed-consent policy and a complaints/suggestions channel; risk disclosure and revision policy were not found. [hospital-site] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-01 |
Score ceilings
- Outcome guarantee or ‘100% safe’-class statement — ceiling 65/100The clinic's own page https://www.drwinstonsantos.com/ (en, 2026-09-01) states: “Top specialist and surgeons only for a guaranteed success and maximum result”. Under this methodology an outcome guarantee caps the score at 65.[site]
Ceilings are applied only from verified-false findings with the exact quote or register entry cited. The clinic has a right of reply; a statement with a source changes the data, a statement without one is shown next to it.

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.
