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 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 is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. ABMS Certification Matters: currently certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery — a specialty adjacent to the advertised facial plastic surgery; no separate ABMS facial-plastic-surgery board exists.

OFF | 26 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Sole physician named with role and tied to the Guaynabo address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-02 | |
| 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: none_found, 18 September 2026 — Re-probed 2026-09-18 (loop pass 1): orcps.salud.pr.gov, the API host orcpsws.salud.pr.gov and the mirror orcps.salud.gov.pr all still fail to complete a TCP handshake from this egress (curl exit 28 / HTTP 000, confirmed again via a live Chrome session for the sibling facility_registry host); salud.pr.gov is likewise unreachable. A register that answers is not closed — this one still does not. Secondary routes checked and excluded: pr.pcshq.com Juntas Examinadoras 'ESPECIALISTAS EN BELLEZA' board licenses non-physician aesthetic staff only, never doctors; NPPES NPI Registry gives a self-reported licence NUMBER at enumeration only, never a status check; no Puerto Rico medical or dermatology society publishes a licence lookup. none_found. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-19 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 19 September 2026 — No row carries the practice name, the physician surname or the street address. The file lists Medicare-certified facilities only; an office-based practice outside it is not a finding. SARAFS (the Puerto Rico facility licence) timed out from both egresses again on 2026-09-19. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-19 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: legal_entity, 18 September 2026 — No entity matches this physician or practice. The one "FACIAL PLASTIC" hit, FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY PR LLC (369552-1511, San Juan, ACTIVE), is registered to resident agent Fernando Van Derdys and officer Edgar Torres — a law-firm filing address (MCS Plaza), unrelated to Dr. Javier González of Guaynabo. Common-surname searches under "GONZALEZ" alone return 100+ unrelated entities (law offices, CPAs, cooperatives) with no plausible match. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-19 |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Site states the physician is “doubly certified” in Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery without naming a number for either. [site-sobre] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Soft self-referential superlative in the clinic’s own text (“exceptional results”) without naming an issuer. [site] resultados excepcionales y naturales en cirugía cosmética facial |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-19 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint content found on the pages checked. [site] |

Who is responsible

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.
