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. MedReg: federal postgraduate title 1035 Plastische, Rekonstruktive und Ästhetische Chirurgie for both named physicians. [medreg-71324] [medreg-17691] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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 Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). MedReg: cantonal practice licence, canton Zürich, permissionState "Erteilt", permissionActivityState "Aktiv" for both physicians. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit no_number_on_record) — matched by name] [medreg-71324] [medreg-17691] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — 0 rows for the clinic name or for either named physician; the complete Zürich sweep (671 establishments, each detail record read) holds no entry at Utoquai 41 |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| 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. Zefix: clinic utoquai AG, CHE-474.161.253, status EXISTIEREND, matched to the uid on Steiger's MedReg permission address at this site. [zefix-utoquai] |

SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No guarantee, "100%" or unearned-superlative language found on the reviewed pages. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (en, de) on 2026-09-21: a phone number appears on one front only. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Three of the five classes published: every procedure page carries a side-effects line and a recovery-time line, the pages describe the follow-up care that accompanies the treatment, and a dedicated page sets out how the clinic handles corrective surgery after an unsatisfactory result, including the step of going back to the first surgeon and obtaining a second opinion. Consent documentation and a complaint or mediation route are not addressed. Pages loaded: home, imprint, privacy policy, about, clinic, hospitals, the SOS page, the four team pages and the nose, breast, body and face procedure pages. [site-procedure] [site-sos] |

What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
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.
