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 in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Register: physician found with a related surgical specialty title (oral and maxillofacial surgery, matching the clinic's authorised maxillofacial service code); this clinic is not among the professional's registered centres. [reps] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Register: medical degree matched by name. [reps] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Facility register: name matches; the address recorded in REGCESS (Via Augusta 101, 08006 Barcelona) differs from the address the clinic publishes on its own site (Carrer de Lincoln 29, 08006 Barcelona). The entry shows the clinic's published address; the register record is the clinic's to update with the health authority. [regcess] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-09 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. Company tax number published without physician-level identifiers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 4 language fronts (es, en, fr, de) on 2026-09-21: a phone number appears on one front only. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Pre- and post-operative care pages and procedural risk information published. [site] |

Change history

|---|---|
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M5: null → 3 (Re-run against BORME (v1.1 pass 1): completed query, no match in Sección II for this open register.) |

| 9 September 2026 | Correction request from the clinic (address). Re-checked the same day: the published address and telephone (Carrer de Lincoln 29, 08006 Barcelona; +34 932124737) match the clinic's own site and are unchanged. The facility-register note on M4 was made explicit: REGCESS still records Via Augusta 101 for CCN 0908003210, which is a mismatch between two public sources, not an error in this entry. Score unchanged. |
