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.

AxisFinding (rubric anchor)ValueSource classWeightChecked
M1 Specialist certification of the responsible physician
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: kspgrs, 22 September 2026 — class registry_closed in jurisdiction national (state portal login-gated from two egresses); the society listing is shown as a fact 대한성형외과학회 전문의 찾기 강남구 지역검색(전 페이지 순회, 총 766명)에서 설철환 전문의 확인 — 학회 명부 주소는 이전 소재지(논현로 836); HIRA 제이더블유(JW)정원성형외과의원 시설상세: 의사수 총 6명, 전문과목별 성형외과 전문의 5명.

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: mohw_sanctions, 20 September 2026 — Korea has no anonymous licence search: lic.mohw.go.kr was re-probed on 2026-09-20 and the register function still requires the holder’s own sign-in (registry-map medical_licence.closedAttempt). Secondary routes run for this record: mohw_sanctions — HTTP 200, both disclosure cycles read row by row; neither the institution nor the physician appears, so that register publishes no 대표자의면허번호 for this physician, and an absence there says nothing about the licence. ksprs_roster and hira_specialists answered but carry no licence number, and the clinic’s own pages publish no 의사면허번호, so the M3 = 3 anchor does not apply.

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.
Lexicon scan completed on 2026-09-20 over the home page, About Us, Surgeons, Clinic Safety and Post Operation Service: a recurring pattern of ranking and top-of-class marketing claims with no named issuer, one of them quoted below, alongside two sentences that use the verb "to guarantee" of precision and of patient satisfaction rather than of a clinical outcome.

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 contactverified 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 physicianverified yes [site]
Names a responsible physicianverified 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.

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 SEC
    Listed in the 대한성형외과학회 (KSPRS) certified-specialist finder as a plastic-surgery specialist (society roster, secondary route); the state specialist-qualification register (lic.mohw.go.kr) is login-gated, so the axis is not scored (v1.3 § C, owner ruling 51).

What we could not verify

  • M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
  • M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries

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.
