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 by name or number; specialty matches what is advertised; status current. Dr. Oscar Alberto Suarez Ramos is listed in the CMC Buscador de Medicos with licence status Activo and the recognised specialty Cirugía General, Cirugía Plástica y Reconstructiva (cod. MED3993). [cmc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The surgeon is named with his role on his own profile page and the office page gives the street address of the practice where he sees patients. [site-doctor] [site-office] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name. Matched by name in the CMC colegiatura register: Médico y Cirujano, cod. MED3993, status Activo. The clinic publishes no CMC code of its own, so the match is on the name. [cmc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Brand only. The clinic trades under a brand name only: no company name with a legal form and no cedula juridica is published on any of its pages (https://www.oas.cr/, https://www.oas.cr/index.php/dr-oscar-suarez-costa-rica/, https://www.oas.cr/index.php/our-facilities/, https://www.oas.cr/index.php/out-of-town-patients/). The Hacienda taxpayer register answers on an identification number, so there is nothing to look up. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The surgeon's profile names his training institutions and the society ASAPS, but the site publishes no licence, membership or company number. [site-doctor] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives. Scan of 11 pages in English and Spanish (home, the doctor profile, our office, out-of-town patients, about Costa Rica and the procedure pages). Two soft superlatives about the practice, of which the quoted sentence is one; the remaining "best" and "leading" phrases describe Costa Rica as a destination, not the clinic. No guarantee from the bright line is published. [site-office] Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and provide support at every stage of your treatment. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. Pages loaded: the home page, the doctor profile, our office, out-of-town patients, about Costa Rica and the facelift and facial-rejuvenation pages. Of the five document classes only aftercare appears, as recovery and post-operative guidance on the procedure pages; no consent form, risk disclosure, revision policy or complaint route is published.

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.
