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 | 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. DHA professional register: Nikolai Grigoriak (dhaUniqueId 01864580), Specialist Plastic Surgery, licence 01864580-006 Active/About to Expire (13 Oct 2025 - 13 Oct 2026) at 'American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Hospital (AACSH) FZ-LLC' — specialty matches the hospital's own advertised cosmetic/plastic surgery department, status current. [dha-prof] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. Named on the hospital's own doctors page under the 'Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery' category and tied to this address; no individual bio page with a fuller role description was found. [doctors-page] |
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). Matched by name to an Active Specialist Plastic Surgery licence at this facility; the hospital's own site publishes no physician licence numbers, so no exact number-match credit. [dha-prof] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. DHA facility register: 'American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Hospital (AACSH) FZ-LLC', Specialty Hospital (<50), Dubai Healthcare City, facilityId 3613596, Building 73 and telephone 97144237600 both match the hospital's own published address/phone exactly; Plastic Surgery listed among its ~40 specialties. Registered Medical Director is a Specialist - General Surgery, not Dr Grigoriak, a distinct administrative role from the treating physician's own licence. [dha-facility] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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. Brand/operating name only; no separate company legal-entity name published. The federal legal-entity register is reCAPTCHA-gated. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. A Joint Commission International accreditation logo is displayed; no licence or registration numbers of any kind are published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Aspirational safety language on the English front (quoted) — not an outcome or safety guarantee; systematic superlatives. [site] Ensuring patient satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and we strive to provide an error-free service. |
