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 matches what this physician advertises. ABMS Certification Matters: currently certified by both the American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery, specialty Plastic Surgery. [abms-profile] |
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 Mayagüez address. [site-es] |
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 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. Departamento de Estado corporate register: Latoni Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic P.S.C., index 1403-711, status ACTIVE; officer Jorge D. Latoni Maldonado matches the named physician Dr. Jorge Latoni, registered in Mayagüez matching the clinic address. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the clinic publishes neither the number nor the legal entity (audit not_published, entity name not found on the clinic pages; the entity was found by us — shown as a fact)] [rcp-search] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Site names the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology as certifying boards; no licence or registration number published. [site-es] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-02 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. Re-scanned home page 2026-09-18 (broad lexicon: 100%, garantiza, guarantee, mejor, best, líder, leading, único, premier, revolucionario, exclusivo, excelencia): no guarantee or unmatched-superlative pattern found in the clinic’s own text.

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.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-es] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-es] |
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.

Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site-es]
Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for Latoni Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic P.S.C. (1403-711); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[rcp-search]
What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
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.
