No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Plastic surgery clinic with its own day-surgery unit in Lisbon. The site publishes the operating company NIF, the ERS registration and licence numbers and the responsible surgeon Ordem dos Médicos number, which is matched by number in the board register. The establishment is matched in the ERS register.
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. Register record for cédula 33626: plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery plus the aesthetic medicine competência; status current. [om] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Surgeon named with role and number and tied to this address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. |
OFF | 10 | 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). The clinic publishes its operating company, its seat and its tax and company number in the footer of every page. The open route for this class, the EU VAT lookup of that number, answered on 2026-09-20 that the number is not a valid intra-EU VAT identifier, which is not an answer from the company register; the Portuguese commercial-register front end is captcha-gated, so the number could not be matched in a company register.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers All load-bearing numbers published with issuers. Company NIF, ERS registration number, operating-licence number and the surgeon Ordem number published with their issuers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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. Superlative claims about the clinic and its team appear on the home page and in the clinic blog; no guarantee or absolute-safety wording found. [site] Os melhores profissionais ao seu lado |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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.

Change history
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 22 September 2026 | axes.M3: 5 → 4 (Methodology v1.3 (owner rulings 2026-09-22) — § F rule 6 — the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M5: null → 3 (Re-run of the company route (v1.1 pass 1): the EU VAT lookup of the published number returns no record, which is not a company-register answer, and the national commercial register is captcha-gated.) |
| 30 August 2026 | Initial publication; every citation and the clinic site re-checked on this date. |
