|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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. 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 Brand only. 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 without guarantees. 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. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. The Arabic front exists but its doctors sub-page roster was not compared against the English doctors page, so cross-locale consistency on physicians could not be verified. |
