DR CRB Aesthetic & Laser Clinic (Cebu)
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 39.2/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #16 of 17 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Aesthetic and laser clinic with two Cebu City locations, SM City Cebu and Perpetual Succour Hospital, plus a Manila branch. The site names the founding physician the clinic is named after and lists laser, energy-device and fat-transfer treatments. No registration numbers or society memberships are published.
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 Not applicable: this country has no Specialist board register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. Founder named with role for the clinic as a whole; no physician is tied to either Cebu City location. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: philhealth-physicians, 18 September 2026 — 1 row returned — row 7942 'BERNAD | CECILIA MILAGROS | RAMOS | FAMILY MEDICINE | CEBU CITY | CEBU' The national licence register refuses scripted queries behind a reCAPTCHA, so no licence check can be executed. The open PhilHealth list of accredited physicians was run instead as the secondary route. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 18 September 2026 — 0 rows; the whole file was recovered (273 numbered rows, matching the tally PhilHealth publishes) and every search term returned no match for this facility The current PhilHealth list of accredited ambulatory surgical clinics was downloaded and searched in full; it holds no row for this facility. Accreditation is voluntary and covers surgical facilities only, so nothing follows from the absence of a row. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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. Only the clinic brand is published; no operating company or corporation is named anywhere on the site, and the company register is not scriptable. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, accreditation or registration identifiers published anywhere on the site. [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 wording across the home and About pages; no wording from the guarantee lexicon found. [site] Founded in 1995 by one of the country’s top dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons, the DR. CRB Aesthetic and Laser Clinic is one of the Philippine’s best full-service face, body and anti-aging center. |
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, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

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.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| 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] |
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.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Cecilia "Che" Ramos Bernad [site] | Founder | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]

Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M3 · Basic medical licence SECThe named physician appears in the open PhilHealth list of accredited physicians of 31 August 2026: 'BERNAD | CECILIA MILAGROS | RAMOS | FAMILY MEDICINE | CEBU CITY | CEBU'. PhilHealth accreditation presupposes a current Professional Regulation Commission registration; the list records the physician's accredited practice field and carries no licence number, so it is shown here rather than scored.[philhealth-physicians]
What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
- 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.
