Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Specialist Plastic Surgery matched by name at this exact facility; status current (Active licence 03649863-007, 09 Feb 2023 – 09 Feb 2027). [dha-prof] |
OFF | 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 licence number and confirmed Active on the official per-professional detail page. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [dha-lic] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Facility name and area match the DHA Sheryan register. [dha-fac] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| 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 trades under its brand name only: no legal entity with a legal form and no company registration number is published on the pages read (home, about-quttainah, privacy-policy, doctors index and seven physician pages). The Dubai trade-licence register (Invest in Dubai / DET) is not machine-accessible: re-probed 2026-09-20 with a desktop-browser user agent (search page served with a passive hCaptcha, API answers CSRF/INVALID_TOKEN) and with a short tool user agent (Akamai "Access Denied"). OpenCorporates returns HTTP 403 to both agents and its API requires a licence key; the DMCC business directory is a client-rendered Angular shell. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Site displays a JCI accreditation badge; no DHA/MOH licence number with issuer found on pages checked. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Recurring unattributed superlatives in the clinic’s own copy on the about page and the physician pages; the only guarantee wording on the site is the privacy policy stating that absolute data security cannot be guaranteed.

| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 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 |

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
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.
