The Clinics
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 59.6/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #11 of 19 ranked clinics · last checked 17 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Multi-specialty day-surgery and aesthetic medical center in the Al Olaya district of Riyadh, with plastic surgery and dermatology among its departments. Physicians named with role on the clinic's own doctors page.
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. |
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-doctors] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. An accreditation-body logo is displayed in the footer without an accompanying certificate or licence number. [site-contact] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One or two soft superlatives without an issuer, repeated in a footer blurb. [site-contact] The Clinics stands as a premier day-surgery, aesthetic and medical center in Riyadh, dedicated to offering a wide range of medical and beauty procedures for individuals seeking to enhance their well-being and lifestyle. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (home, ar, en) on 2026-09-17: physician "Dr. Bandar Alaithan" on home only; physician "Dr. Faisal Almehaid" on home only; physician "Dr. Taghreed Alhumsi" on home only; physician "Dr. Hassan Alnaeem" on home only. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two of the five classes present in the clinic’s own patients’ rights statement: written consent after sufficient information before any procedure or surgery, and a route for submitting a complaint about the service. No published risks, aftercare or revision-policy document. [site-about] |

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-contact] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site-dermatology] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-dermatology] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-doctors] |
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.

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 SECTwo of the clinic’s named plastic surgeons are returned by the EBOPRAS list of Fellows: "Bander Ahmed Alaithan" (fellowship awarded 27/11/2010, trained in Saudi Arabia) and "Taghreed Alhumsi" (20/4/2013, trained in Saudi Arabia), matching Dr. Bandar Alaithan and Dr. Taghreed Alhumsi by surname, given name and country. 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
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.
