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 Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. The named consultant dermatologist appears in the National Specialist Register (NSR 134308, INTERNAL MEDICINE / DERMATOLOGY, establishment NORTHERN SKIN SPECIALIST CLINIC, BAYAN LEPAS) and in the Ministry of Health aesthetic-credentialing registry, matched on Malaysian Medical Council number 27091. The paediatric dermatologist is likewise in the specialist register (NSR 129132). [nsr] [lcp] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Three physicians are named with roles and qualifications on the clinic site, and the practitioner register lists this address as a declared place of practice for each of them. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Found in the Ministry of Health register of licensed private healthcare facilities as NORTHERN SKIN SPECIALIST CLINIC, BLOK 2-1 BAY AVENUE, LORONG BAYAN INDAH 3, 11900 BAYAN LEPAS, licensed type "KLINIK PAKAR INTERNAL MEDICINE (GENERAL) & DERMATOLOGY + PERKHIDMATAN ESTETIK SEBAGAI AREA OF INTEREST". [fac] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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. No legal entity is named anywhere on the clinic's own pages: the site carries the trading name only. Pages loaded on 2026-09-20: https://skinspecialist.com.my/, https://skinspecialist.com.my/contact-us/. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The site states that its dermatologists are registered with the National Specialist Register but publishes no registration, licence or company numbers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No wording from the guarantee or superlative lexicon found in the clinic’s own text; superlative wording appears only inside patient testimonials, which are out of scope. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 None. No informed-consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route material found on the public pages. [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.

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.
