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 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 Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Ordem dos Medicos register, cedula 35277: Dermatovenereologia and Medicina Estetica e Cosmetica; cedula 47269 records Cirurgia Plastica and Reconstrutiva e Estetica. Both current and both numbers are the ones published on the site. [om] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Every physician is listed by full name with specialty and licence number, tied to this address. [site-doc] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by the licence number the clinic itself publishes. Matched by licence number: the numbers published on the clinical-staff page return the same physicians in the register. [om] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. SRER establishment 107310, state Registado; the number published on the site matches the register, as do name, address and technical director. [ers] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 own pages name no legal entity and publish no company number: the contact page and the footer carry the trading name, the address and the health-regulator registration and operating-licence numbers only. The operating company on record was located through the facility register, which does not raise this axis. Pages loaded: home, /contactos/, /corpo-clinico/. [site] [site-contacts] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers All load-bearing numbers published with issuers. ERS registration number and operating licence published with their issuer together with the Ordem dos Medicos number of each physician. [site-doc] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No pattern from the lexicon found on the pages checked. [site] |
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 |

Score ceilings

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.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] [ers] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-doc] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

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.
