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: Ioannis Salivaras (dhaUniqueId 00071565), Specialist Plastic Surgery, licence 00071565-001 Active/About to Expire (29 Sep 2011 - 21 Nov 2026) at Clinica Joelle LLC — specialty matches the clinic's own advertised focus, status current. The register records the physician's first name as 'Ioannis'; the clinic's own site displays the name as 'Michael Salivaras'. [dha-prof] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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 Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by surname (register first name 'Ioannis' vs. the clinic's displayed 'Michael') to an Active Specialist Plastic Surgery licence at this facility; the register's listed office telephone (0097143388904) matches the clinic's own published phone number exactly. The clinic does not publish this physician's DHA licence number itself, so no exact number-match credit. [dha-prof] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. DHA facility register: 'Clinica Joelle LLC', Polyclinic (Multiple Specialties), Jumeirah Third, facilityId 0000601, telephone +971 4 338 8904 matching the clinic's own published number exactly; Plastic Surgery listed among its specialties; registered Medical Director is Ioannis Salivaras, Specialist - Plastic Surgery. Register street address (Villa 8, Arenco 8, Al Nessnass Street) differs from the clinic's own published address (Villa 502A, Jumeirah 3). [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 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 Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Facility licence numbers for the Dubai and Abu Dhabi branches, and a Ministry of Health facility-permit number, are published with issuers implied by their labels; no personal physician licence number is shown. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (en, ar) on 2026-09-21: physician "Dr. Michael Salivaras" on en only; a phone number appears on one front only. [fronts] |
