Summary
Specialist plastic and aesthetic surgery practice in Basel's old town. Two responsible physicians named with roles; both matched in the federal MedReg register with an active plastic-surgery practice licence, and the operating company matched in the central business register. The practice's German-language site publishes information on consultation, risks, aftercare and corrective procedures.
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-101029] [medreg-80702] |
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 Basel-Stadt, 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-101029] [medreg-80702] |
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 practice name and for either named physician; the complete Basel sweep (184 establishments, each detail record read) holds no entry at Kohlenberg 13/15 and none with either physician as a responsible person |
? | ? | 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: Praxis für Plastische Chirurgie Basel AG, CHE-281.968.159, status EXISTIEREND, matched to the practice name and address. [zefix-basel] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Site names physicians' academic and specialist titles but publishes no licence or registration number with an issuing authority. [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. Lexicon scan of 28 pages of the clinic site in German (home, both physician pages, the practice pages, the face, breast, body and hair sections, the service pages, Impressum and privacy policy): no outcome or safety guarantee; a recurring set of soft claims about the practice and a patient-satisfaction statement. [site-service] Unsere Fachärzte erzielen aufgrund ihrer langjährigen Erfahrung und hoher Spezialisierung eine sehr hohe Patientenzufriedenheitsrate. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents Four. Four of the five classes published: pre-treatment information and written information material (home page, Wofür wir stehen, Beratung), risks and side effects on the procedure pages and on the complication-cover page, a dedicated aftercare page (check-up appointments, medication, written instructions), and a section on corrective procedures after an earlier operation. No complaint or mediation route is published; the Impressum states the practice does not take part in consumer dispute resolution. Pages loaded: home, Spezialisten, Wofür wir stehen, Beratung, Nachsorge, Patientenservice, Folgekostenversicherung, the face/breast/body procedure pages, Impressum, Datenschutz.

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.
