Partners in Plastic Surgery
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 57.8/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #6 of 17 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Group plastic-surgery practice formed in Davao City in 2013 by four plastic surgeons working with four anaesthesiologists. Three of the named surgeons appear in the PAPRAS Fellows directory with a City of Davao location. The site publishes a surgical menu and society titles without registration numbers.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Surgeons named with role and tied to the Davao City address. [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 — 2 of the 3 named surgeons returned a row — row 37924 'NAZARENO | HECTOR BOBBY | ZAMORA | PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY | DAVAO CITY | DAVAO DEL SUR' and row 6155 'BALUYUT-ANGELES | KATHRINA VICTORIA. | PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY | DAVAO CITY | DAVAO DEL SUR'; Dr. Joselito Rosauro Cembrano returned no row under 'CEMBRANO' 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 Logos without numbers. College and society fellowship titles listed per physician without registration numbers or issuers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Two soft superlatives on the About page; no wording from the guarantee lexicon found. [site] Together, these dedicated physicians were trained in the most prestigious universities and institutions here in the Philippines and abroad. |
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. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. Terms and a privacy policy are published; none of the five document classes found. [site] |

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. Joselito Rosauro J. Cembrano [site] [papras] | Plastic surgeon, founding partner | not published |
| Dr. Hector Bobby Z. Nazareno [site] [papras] | Plastic surgeon, founding partner | not published |
| Dr. Kathrina Victoria Baluyut-Angeles [site] [papras] | Plastic surgeon | 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.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECThree named surgeons appear in the PAPRAS Fellows directory with the location City of Davao, Davao del Sur. The Philippines has no state specialty register, so an association roster is the highest provenance available for this axis.[papras]
- M3 · Basic medical licence SECTwo of the three named surgeons appear in the open PhilHealth list of accredited physicians of 31 August 2026: 'NAZARENO | HECTOR BOBBY | ZAMORA | PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY | DAVAO CITY | DAVAO DEL SUR' and 'BALUYUT-ANGELES | KATHRINA VICTORIA. | PLASTIC & RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY | DAVAO CITY | DAVAO DEL SUR'. PhilHealth accreditation presupposes a current Professional Regulation Commission registration; it is voluntary 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.
