Rank #2 of 15 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026

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 Not applicable: this country has no Specialist board register. Kuwait publishes no specialty-board roster; axis not applicable. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Five plastic-surgery physicians are named with role on the department page, tied to the single hospital address. [site-ps] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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: asps_international, 18 September 2026 — Run for Dr. Esmail Nada, consultant plastic surgery, and for the four further plastic-surgery physicians the hospital names: none of them appears in the ISAPS Kuwait member list (13 members) or in the ASPS Kuwait international-member list (5 members). Neither route publishes a Kuwaiti licence number, a licence status or an expiry date, so the licence datum cannot be obtained from any reachable source. The Ministry of Health Health Licensing Department search is not reachable by any scripted request from outside Kuwait: DNS resolves but no TCP session is established, re-proved on 2026-09-18 from two independent egresses (see registry-map closedAttempt). No claim either way. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration 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: none_found, 18 September 2026 — No secondary route to a Kuwaiti facility register exists: the search of 2026-09-18 recorded in registry-map facility_registry.secondarySearchLog returned nothing of this class. The clinic publishes no facility licence number of its own on the pages re-read on 2026-09-18, so the clinic-published anchor does not apply. The Ministry of Health facility search runs on the same host as the licence search and is not reachable by any scripted request from outside Kuwait (re-proved 2026-09-18). No claim either way. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. Chamber register entry found by trade name; commercial-register number 13752, capital 1,250,000 KD, membership recorded as valid. [kcci] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — language links found (en:403) but no distinct second front The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two document classes published: a patients’ rights page carrying the right to be informed about the care plan and to refuse care, and a complaint route (a named concern line on that page plus a feedback and whistleblower form). No risk list, aftercare or revision document found.

What we could not verify

- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
- 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.
