Quttainah Medical Center
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 65.7/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #1 of 15 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Single-site cosmetic and plastic surgery centre on the Gulf Road, open since 2016. The responsible surgeon is named with his role on the clinic's own doctor list, and the operating company is matched in the chamber-of-commerce register with its commercial-register number. Kuwait publishes no specialty-board roster and its Ministry of Health licence search cannot be reached from outside the country, so the certification, licence and facility axes stay unverified.
The clinic's own English pages carry an assurance-of-safety wording; it is recorded with the exact quote under advertising honesty.
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 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. Doctor list names the responsible surgeon with role; the same site publishes one address. [site-doctors] [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. Adel Quttainah, consultant plastic surgeon and chief medical officer: the ASPS Kuwait international-member list returns him as "Adel Quttainah, MD", badged U.S. and Canada board certified, at Gulf Road, Shaab; the ISAPS Kuwait member list (13 members) does not carry him. Neither listing publishes a Kuwaiti licence number or licence status, so no licence datum is available; the membership finding is carried in facts[]. 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, so the clinic-published anchor does not apply — the clinic front answered HTTP 200 with an empty body on 2026-09-18, so the check rests on the identifier scan of 2026-08-30. 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 412463, membership recorded as valid, the named surgeon listed among the authorised officers. [kcci] |

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-ps] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-ps] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-doctors] |
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.

Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site-ps]
Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECThe American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists Dr. Adel Quttainah among its international members in Kuwait, badged U.S. and Canada board certified, at the Gulf Road, Shaab address. ASPS states on the same page that it does not independently verify its members’ certification or licensure status. Kuwait publishes no specialty-certification register, so this membership is shown outside the score.[asps]
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 — Attempt not completed
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.
