Summary
Group dermatology practice in Plovdiv with three named dermatologists. All three are recorded with the dermatology and venereology specialty on the practice’s own entry in the state outpatient-care register, which is active at the address published on the site.
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. The responsible dermatologist is found by name in the national physician register with the dermatology and venereology specialty, which is adjacent to the aesthetic work advertised; the same specialty is recorded for him on the practice’s own outpatient-care entry. [bls] [facility] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Three dermatologists are named on the team page and tied to the published address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the national physician register. [bls] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Active entry of the state outpatient-care register: legal name, address and status match what the site publishes, and all three named dermatologists appear on its medical-staff list. [facility] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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. The terms page on the site carries the details of an unrelated online shop rather than the practice’s own operating company; the entity behind the practice was located through the facility register rather than published by the clinic. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, facility or company number of this practice is published on the pages loaded (home, about, team, FAQ, terms, privacy policy). [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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. A treatment page states an outcome in absolute terms; the wording reads as an assurance about the method rather than an explicit promise to the patient, and no other lexicon pattern was found.

SEC | 12 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-19 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. A contraindications section is published on a treatment page; no consent form, aftercare page, revision policy or complaint route of this practice was found on the pages loaded. [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.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] [facility] |
| 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.

What we could not verify
- 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.
