Summary
Plastic-surgery clinic with locations in Mississauga and Toronto. Two named plastic surgeons are identified with role on the clinic's own site. The Mississauga premises is found in Ontario's Out-of-Hospital Premises inspection listing with a current pass outcome. One of the named surgeons is separately listed in the University of Toronto's plastic-surgery faculty directory as an RCPSC specialist. The clinic names its own operating legal entity; no match was found for that entity in the federal corporate register.
Registers read for the jurisdiction: ON.
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. CPSO physician register (read in the operator’s browser on 2026-09-21): Lista, Francesco Ralph — CPSO 50937, active, Plastic Surgery, Mississauga; Ziolkowski, Natalia Irena — CPSO 101723, active, Plastic Surgery, Hamilton — found by name, registration active, and the specialty the College records is the one the clinic advertises. Earlier reading, kept as a secondary source: CPSO physician register is CAPTCHA-gated for Ontario (axis stays unscored against the board itself). Dr. Frank Lista is independently listed in the University of Toronto Division of Plastic Surgery faculty directory as an 'RCPSC Specialist', Surgeon-Teacher, corroborating Royal College certification in plastic surgery from a non-clinic secondary source. read via browser [cpso] [uoft] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Both surgeons named with role and photo on the clinic's own 'Our Surgeons' page, tied to the Toronto and Mississauga addresses. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). CPSO physician register: Lista, Francesco Ralph — CPSO 50937, active, Plastic Surgery, Mississauga; Ziolkowski, Natalia Irena — CPSO 101723, active, Plastic Surgery, Hamilton. Register searched by surname in the operator’s browser on 2026-09-21 (the site-wide Cloudflare check clears by itself in a browser; scripted requests get HTTP 403). The clinic publishes no CPSO number, so the match is by name. read via browser [cpso] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. CPSO Out-of-Hospital Premises listing: 'The Plastic Surgery Clinic', current business address 1421 Hurontario Street, Mississauga, matching the clinic's own site; outcome 'Pass (OHP allowed to perform OHP procedures)' dated Jul 22, 2022. [cpso-listing] [cpso-detail-psc] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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 its own operating entity, 'The Plastic Surgery Clinic Inc.', on its Overview page; a federal corporate-name search for that entity returned 0 results (most Ontario clinics are provincially incorporated, outside federal scope). [site-overview] [corpsearch] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Professional-society membership logos (Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons, CSAPS, ASPS, ISAPS, ASAPS) appear on the site without certificate or registration numbers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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. Several unattributed superlatives found across the clinic's own pages describing the practice and surgical team (e.g. 'World Renowned Experts in Plastic Surgery', 'Canada's leading plastic surgery practice'); no outcome guarantee found. The clinic's domain is behind a Cloudflare challenge that blocks scripted reload, so no quote is cited here (site content was read via an interactive browser session). [site] [site-overview] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-21 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. A detailed complaints-process page naming the Patient Ombudsman is published; no dedicated informed-consent, risk/contraindication, aftercare or revision-policy page was found on the surveyed pages. [site-complaints] |

Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

Who is responsible

What we could not verify
- 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.
