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. Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada directory: Lee, James, Quebec, category Fellow, designation FRCSC, certification Plastic Surgery (Primary, Certification by Examination, 2015-06-30); city of record Pointe-Claire, in the Montreal area. Specialty matches the surgery the clinic offers; status current. This is the only James Lee with a plastic-surgery certification in Quebec in the directory. [rcpsc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Attempt not completed. Last attempt: medical_licence, 20 September 2026 — http 400 {"url":"/api/directory","statusCode":400,"message":"Error"} — the endpoint rejects a request without a Cloudflare Turnstile token; the bottin page itself serves only a client-rendered shell. The clinic publishes no permit number of its own. Quebec's licence register could not be queried; re-runs in the next pass. |

| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. The clinic's address matches, in the provincial register of authorized specialized medical centres, the building-wide facility 'Clinique Innovation', with an authorized scope including breast augmentation, abdominoplasty and blepharoplasty. [msss-cms] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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. Complete scan of the clinic's own pages (home, surgeon, clinic, contact, FAQ, privacy policy, patient guide): no operating company, legal form or registration number is named; the footer carries the trading name alone. [site-privacy] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Board certification and society memberships are stated as text with their issuers named; no licence, facility or company registration number is published anywhere on the site. [site-drlee] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative, repeated in the same wording on both language fronts; patient testimonials are out of scope for this axis. [site] [site-fr] It’s safe to say there’s simply no other plastic surgery clinic in Montreal that compares. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (en, fr, es) on 2026-09-17: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Pages loaded for the scan: home, surgeon, clinic, contact, FAQ, privacy policy and the out-of-town patient guide. Two of the five classes are published: complication and risk information inside the procedure FAQ, and recovery guidance with activity limits and garment instructions. No consent document, revision policy or complaint route was found. [site-faqs] [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.

|---|---|
| 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 |

Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Attempt not completed
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.
