Rank #9 of 13 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Two physicians named with their role (Plastic Surgeon) and their credentials on the hospital’s own cosmetic-surgery page, tied to this address. [site-plastic] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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 in the Barbados Medical Council register as published by authority in the Official Gazette; neither Gazette list publishes a registration number, and the Council’s own online register search returns placeholder records. The cell is scored on the surgeon the hospital names first for its cosmetic service. [gz2025] [gz2020] FERRANDO GIOVANNI |

— | — | — | 2026-09-18 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or company numbers published with issuers. Pages loaded: home, plastic-surgery, admitting-physicians, specialties-and-services, downloads-forms. [site] [site-plastic] [site-forms] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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. Soft superlatives recur across the site’s own copy (“Discover exceptional cosmetic surgery services” on the cosmetic-surgery page; “our goal is to provide the best care possible” and “Get the most accurate diagnosis in a minimal time” on the home page); no outcome or safety guarantee found. Pages loaded: home, plastic-surgery, specialties-and-services, downloads-forms. [site-plastic] [site] Discover exceptional cosmetic surgery services at Bayview Hospital |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route document found on the public site; the downloads page publishes administrative forms (pre-admission, surgical requirements, privileges application) and preparedness guides.

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-plastic] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-plastic] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-plastic] |
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 SECThe Official Gazette list of medical practitioners registered as specialists and their specialties (as at 31 January 2020) records “FERRANDO, GIOVANNI* Plastic Surgeon”.[gz2020]
What we could not verify
- 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.
