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, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. SMC Register of Specialists: Plastic Surgery, entry dates 28/11/2016 (Kua) and 30/09/2015 (Chia). [smc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Both doctors hold current Practising Certificates (Kua 01/01/2025-31/12/2026; Chia 01/01/2026-31/12/2027). [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [smc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| 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 — facility_registry re-probed 2026-09-18 (still a client-rendered SPA shell behind a recaptcha marker; see registry-map closedAttempt) and no secondary route was found for this class after a fresh search (data.gov.sg dataset catalogue, MOH pages) — see registry-map secondarySearchLog. Clinic's own pages checked for a self-published facility-licence number: none found. |
? | ? | 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. The clinic's own pages checked (home, contact) publish no legal-entity name — brand only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No physician registration number, facility number or company registration number published on the pages checked (home, rhinoplasty and eyelid-recovery resource pages). [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Site describes itself as "renowned for our scarless and lasting suture double eyelid surgery technique"; superlative without an issuer, 1-2 instances. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (en, zh, x-中文) on 2026-09-18: physician "Dr Jonah Kua (Kua Ee Hsiang Jonah)" on en only; physician "Dr Chia Hui Ling" on en only. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. A risks/complications list is published on the rhinoplasty procedure page and downtime/bruising/recovery guidance is published on an eyelid-surgery recovery resource article; no consent, revision policy or complaint channel found on the pages checked.

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] |
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 |

Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
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.
