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 Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. REPS state register: specialist title 'Médico Especialista en Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora' (awarded 2011-05-15); the practice's own facility code is not among her registered practice centres. The register lists Hospital Quirónsalud Barcelona (CCN 0908005142), the hospital that hosts the practice. [v1.3 2026-09-22: owner ruling 34 — the map's CCN condition is deleted (a map rule stricter than the rubric); the physician is in REPS with a current status and the exact advertised specialty title: RUIZ CASTILLA, MIREIA (REPS codProfesional 14380797) — Médi] [reps] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The surgeon is named with her role and tied to this address on the clinic’s own pages; further team members are listed with their professional-college numbers. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by full name in REPS; the state record carries the degree 'Licenciado en Medicina' (2004-07-19). [reps] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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. The facility authorisation reference the site publishes (H08000113) resolves in REGCESS to CCN 0908005142, HOSPITAL QUIRONSALUD BARCELONA, Plaça Alfonso Comín, Barcelona — the address the site gives. [v1.3 2026-09-22: owner ruling 35 — REGCESS holds the practice address under the host centre's name: HOSPITAL QUIRONSALUD BARCELONA (CCN 0908005142, H08000113); the profile names the record holder verbatim] [regcess] [site] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-22 | |
| 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). Legal entity INSTITUT RUIZ CASTILLA SLP named with its CIF and a full Registro Mercantil de Barcelona inscription on the clinic’s own pages; the BORME name index (Sección II only) returns no announcement for this company. [site-privacy] [borme] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers All load-bearing numbers published with issuers. The site publishes the facility authorisation reference with the issuing authority named, the company CIF with its Registro Mercantil inscription, and professional-college numbers for the practising physicians. [site] [site-privacy] centro autorizado por la Generalitat de Catalunya con referencia H08000113 |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty An unconditional absolute about the patient's future safety or the treatment outcome — zero risk, no complications, “100% safe”, “result guaranteed” — in the clinic's own rendered text (bright line; cap 65). An outcome guarantee appears in the clinic’s own text on the home page; the quote is recorded as evidence. [site] Un éxito garantizado en tu tratamiento de medicina estética. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (es, ca, en) on 2026-09-20: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Three of the five classes were found on the pages checked: a statement that any surgery carries risks, post-surgical care information, and a data-protection complaint route; no informed-consent document or revision policy was found. [site] [site-privacy] |

Score ceilings
- Outcome guarantee or ‘100% safe’-class statement — ceiling 65/100The clinic's own page https://www.draruizcastilla.com/ (es, 2026-09-20) states: “Un éxito garantizado en tu tratamiento de medicina estética.”. Under this methodology an outcome guarantee caps the score at 65.[site]
