Dr. Pablo Salamea
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 52/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #17 of 20 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Plastic-surgery practice inside a hospital in Cuenca. The responsible surgeon is named with role and tied to this address. A physician directory listing his professional identification number was used to match an active, matching taxpayer record in the tax authority's register.
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: isaps, 18 September 2026 — no match for Salamea Molina in the ISAPS Ecuador list (16 members), the SECPRE Guayas roll (78 names) or the SECPRE Pichincha directory (62 profiles); no SECPRE chapter publishes a roll for Azuay/Cuenca. |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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: clinic_published_registration, 18 September 2026 — no registration number published on the clinic's own pages, and no society route carries one for this physician (the SECPRE Guayas roll publishes names only; the SECPRE Pichincha directory has no entry for them; ISAPS publishes no numbers). |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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: clinic_published_permit, 18 September 2026 — no operating-permit number is published on the clinic's own pages, and the SRI establishment endpoint cannot be entered without a RUC — the clinic publishes none — and would in any case prove only a registered tax establishment, never a health permit. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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. A complete scan of the clinic's own pages found no legal entity and no registration number — the practice trades under the surgeon's own name, a trading name without a company form, and no RUC is published anywhere on the site. Pages loaded 2026-09-18: https://www.pablosalamea.com/. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The site states society memberships (SECPRE, ISAPS, ASPS, FILACP) without registration numbers or issuers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Systematic superlatives (a satisfaction statistic and a best-in-country claim) without a named issuer, though short of the 100%-class bright line. [site] 99% Pacientes Satisfechos |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No informed-consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route document was found. [site] |

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] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
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.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |

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
- 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.
