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 Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Cyprus Medical Register: reg. no. 3275, Ανδρέας Σκαρπάρης, Ειδικότητα Πλαστική Χειρουργική, Διεύθυνση 'Αποστόλου Παύλου 11, Λάρνακα 6023' — same city and postcode as the clinic's own address; the only physician of this name in the register. [board] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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 same register cited for M1 (Μητρώο Ιατρών Κύπρου is both the specialist and the statutory licence register). [board] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — by its own definition this register does not cover this class of facility or this territory, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for this record. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory. Last attempt: none_found, 22 September 2026 — § A: the register of this class does not cover this unit by its own definition (scopeGap quoted in the map: Σύμφωνα με τον περί Εγγραφής Αισθητικών Νόμο 40(Ι)/1999 δημοσιεύεται στην Επίσημη Εφημερίδ…); previous state null not_found — 0 matching entries. The published list covers ινστιτούτα αισθητικής (non-medical aesthetics establishments); the licence register of ιδιωτικά νοσηλευτήρια and of doctor-run ιατρεία is not published by |

| 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. Company matched by name in the Registrar of Companies (DRCOR): ANDREAS SKARPARIS DLC, HE 343498, status Εγγεγραμμένη (registered). [drcor] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. States the clinic 'is licensed as a private hospital by the Cyprus health authorities' without citing a licence number. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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 pages (home, about the doctor, about the center, medical tourism, our medical facilities, breast augmentation, botox): recurring soft superlatives and a satisfaction statement, no outcome or safety guarantee. Wording inside patient testimonials was left out of scope. [site] The staff are highly trained professionals with a warm approach and dedicated to offering the best personal care. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (en, el, ru) on 2026-09-17: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |

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.
