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 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: ebopras, 17 September 2026 — secondary source names the physician (former M1 = 2); shown on the profile as a fact — M1 is not scored while the country's specialist register is closed |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-17 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Sole named physician with role; own site's page description ties him to a named Al Khobar hospital address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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: isaps, 17 September 2026 — None of the open secondary routes publishes a Saudi practitioner licence or SCFHS registration number (ISAPS cards carry name/status/job title/clinic/city, the SSDDS board list names and offices, the hospital directories a specialty sentence). This clinic publishes no licence number on any of its own pages, so the M3 = 3 anchor (register closed, number published by the clinic) is unavailable. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-17 |
| 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: cbahi, 17 September 2026 — Re-probed as the map’s replay note asked: the MoH facility-licence hosts (eservices.moh.gov.sa, sso.moh.gov.sa), every CBAHI hostname and both national open-data hosts still refuse TCP from this environment, while other .gov.sa hosts answer in the same minute; seha.sa is a sign-in-walled single-page app with no public facility directory. No facility record could be looked up for this clinic. |
? | ? | 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. Only the brand is published: a completed scan of this clinic’s own pages (home, about/team, doctor, contact and legal/terms pages in Arabic and English) names no operating company or establishment and carries no commercial-registration number. The Ministry of Commerce register is CAPTCHA-gated and refused TCP from this environment, and OpenCorporates is hCaptcha-gated, so the entity could not be matched in any company source either. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. No licence, facility or entity number published; the site names credentials by issuer only ("Board-Certified Plastic Surgery Consultant", fellowship of the University of Michigan Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Program), without any registration number. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No outcome guarantee or unattributed superlative found in the clinic's own text; superlative wording on this site appears only inside patient testimonials, which are out of scope. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-17 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risks, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route material found on the pages served by this site (home, about, procedures, contact, sitemap entries). [site] |

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 |

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.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECThe responsible physician is returned by the EBOPRAS list of Fellows as "Samer Haber" (fellowship awarded 6/5/2017, trained in Lebanon, citizen of Lebanon), matching the surgeon’s own published training at Saint Joseph University in Beirut. Saudi Arabia publishes no machine-readable specialty register, so this is secondary provenance and the rubric caps M1 at 2.[ebopras]
What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
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.
