Dr Khaled Altarrah Clinic
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 58.8/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #6 of 15 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Single-surgeon plastic and aesthetic surgery practice on the 14th floor of the Med Clinic building in Al Sha'b, presented under the surgeon's own name and tied to one address. No legal entity is named on the site and none was retrieved for it in the chamber register, so legal-entity traceability rests on the site alone.
The site is English-only, so the cross-locale comparison has no second front and stays unverified.
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. The surgeon is named with his role and one practice address on his own site. [site-about] [site-contact] |
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 Khaled Altarrah, specialist plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon: not in the ISAPS Kuwait member list (13 members) and not 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 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. |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or accreditation numbers published on the site. [site] [site-about] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. The home page carries an assurance about results. [v1.3 lexicon re-read 2026-09-22: purpose_clause → 5; M7-E] [site] Through his extensive expertise in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, he provides a wide range of complex and niche procedures to guarantee tangible results for every client. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-22 | |
| 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 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision or complaint document published. [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.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified 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 physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-about] |
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.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Dr Khaled Altarrah [site-about] | Specialist plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- 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.
