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.

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, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Egyptian Medical Syndicate specialist register: سمير محمد عبد السلام غرابه (register ID 224297), جراحة تجميل وحروق (plastic surgery and burns), grade إستشاري (consultant). Identity is tied to this practice by the syndicate facility register, which carries his private clinic at The Corner Mall, New Cairo. [ems-doctor] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The surgeon is named throughout the site with his role, training and appointments, and the Cairo practice address and phone are published on the same pages. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-17 | |
| 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 syndicate doctor register; the register discloses no licence number and no status field. [ems-doctor] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Syndicate facility register: two عيادة خاصة entries registered to سمير محمد عبد السلام غرابه, one at مول ذا كورنر - 4 شارع المستثمرين الشمالية - القاهرة الجديدة and one at 39 شارع عباس العقاد - مدينة نصر. The physician name matches; the register addresses are written differently from the Al Sadat Axis address the site publishes. [ems-facility] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-17 | |
| 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. Brand only: the clinic publishes no legal entity — no company name, commercial-register number or tax number appears on the pages loaded (home, about, patient services). The Egyptian commercial register (GAFI investor e-portal) is login-gated and its host did not answer; the secondary routes recorded in the registry map returned nothing for Egypt. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. A physician registration number is published with its issuer (the quoted UK GMC number); no facility or legal-entity number is published. [site] United Kingdom GMC Registration Number 7697844 |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-17 | |
| 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. Lexicon scan of the clinic English pages (home, about, patient services). Superlatives recur without an issuer: the quoted claim, "among the most experienced facial surgeons in the world" and the home-page headings "Trusted With Thousands Of Faces" and "Proven Pursuit of perfection". No outcome or safety guarantee was found. [site] Widely regarded as an international pioneer of the Deep Plane Facelift |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 4 language fronts (en, ar, zh, fr) on 2026-09-20: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M9 | Patient documents One. One of the five classes is published: written aftercare instructions per procedure (the quoted post-rhinoplasty instructions). No consent document, no risk or complication page, no revision policy and no complaint route were found on the pages loaded. [site-services] For optimal recovery after rhinoplasty, follow these instructions |
