Verification pending: less of the axis weight is sourced than the threshold requires, so no score is published yet.
Status: verification pending · last checked 30 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Combined plastic-surgery and dermatology clinic in Diliman, Quezon City, run by two named physicians. The dermatologist's entry in the Philippine Dermatological Society member directory names this clinic and repeats its phone number; the plastic surgeon's name is in the PAPRAS Fellows directory. Both rosters are professional societies rather than state registers.
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 Only a secondary source (association, aggregator) supports the certification. The dermatologist's member page in the Philippine Dermatological Society directory carries the fellowship line and names this clinic; the plastic surgeon's name appears in the PAPRAS Fellows directory. Both are professional societies, not state registers, so this axis is capped at 2 in this country. [pds-caparas] [papras] |
SEC | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Both physicians are named with their roles on the home page, and the society directory ties the dermatologist to this clinic name, address and phone number. [site] [pds-caparas] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. The PRC licence verification service is captcha-gated and answers every scripted query with an error, so no licence check was possible. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-08-30 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. The state facility register is unreachable from this environment and the clinic is not among the 273 rows of the open PhilHealth ambulatory-surgical-clinic list; that list is voluntary, so nothing is inferred from the absence of a row. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-08-30 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Brand only. The site publishes a brand name only, with no operating company or registration number; the SEC company search answers scripted requests with a challenge page, so no register match was possible either. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Accreditation and board-certification wording is published without any registration, licence or accreditation number and without a register reference. [site] [site-services] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Quote not re-verified on 2026-08-30; previous value 4 withdrawn. |
? | ? | 12 | 2026-08-30 |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. The site has a single English front, so there is nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-08-30 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No informed-consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route document is published on the public pages. [site] [site-services] |

Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-services] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] [pds-caparas] |
Who is responsible
