Summary
Dedicated plastic surgery clinic in Quito led by Dr. Fabián Idrovo. Menu covers facial, breast, body-contouring and hair-transplant procedures. The clinic publishes a facility operating-permit number issued by the Dirección Provincial de Salud (DPS) on its own site, and its home page carries superlative wording about being the country's most modern facility and Quito's first laser surgery clinic.
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: secpre_pichincha, 18 September 2026 — no match for Idrovo in the SECPRE Pichincha directory (62 profiles), the ISAPS Ecuador list (16 members) or the SECPRE Guayas roll (78 names). |

| 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: secpre_pichincha, 18 September 2026 — no number published. The clinic's about page lists 'Senescyt' among the physician's credentials without a registration number, and no society directory carries an entry for him. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration The register of this class is not machine-accessible, or by its own definition does not cover this class of facility or this territory, and the clinic itself publishes its authorisation or licence number. The clinic publishes its own operating-permit number for the building it occupies, with the issuing authority named (Dirección Provincial de Salud, the authority that issued permisos de funcionamiento before ACESS took the function over). The ACESS register is captcha-gated behind a geo-block, so the number could not be checked against it. [site] Centro Médico Especializado, Permiso DPS: 1334 |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). The clinic names a legal entity with its company form — 'Clínica Médica de Cirugía Plástica Fabián Idrovo Ltda.' — on its about page, but publishes no registration number. The name could not be matched in a register: the SRI catastro answers only to a RUC, and the Superintendencia de Compañías company search, the only name-searchable register, answered the request with its WAF page 'Unauthorized Request Blocked'.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Clinic publishes a facility operating-permit number ('Permiso DPS 1334') with issuer (Dirección Provincial de Salud); no physician licence number published. [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 superlative wording about the clinic's own facility, without an issuer. [site] la más moderna y segura Clínica de Cirugía Plástica del país. |
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, 18 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 consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route content found on the pages reviewed. [site] |

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
- 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.

| 18 September 2026 | axes.M4: null → 3 (Re-run against the closed ACESS facility register (v1.2 pass 1): the establishment itself publishes its operating-permit number, so the v1.2 anchor M4 = 3 applies) |
