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: Elahi, Mohammed Mehboob, North York, ON, category Fellow, designation FRCSC, with two primary certifications, Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (1998-06-30) and Plastic Surgery (2004-06-30). Both match the fellowships the clinic states; status current. [rcpsc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Sole named surgeon, tied to this address, described as Medical Director throughout the site. [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: Elahi, Mohammed Mehboob — CPSO 72950, active, Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Toronto. 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 Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. CPSO Out-of-Hospital Premises listing: 'Toronto Plastic Surgery Institute', current business address 6 Maginn Mews Suite 204, matching the clinic's own address exactly, though the registered facility name differs in wording from the clinic's own brand 'Toronto Institute of Plastic Surgery'. Outcome 'Pass', dated May 15, 2023. [cpso-listing] [cpso-detail-elahi] |
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. Brand only; no distinct legal-entity name is published. A federal corporate-name search for 'Toronto Institute of Plastic Surgery' returned 0 results. [site] [corpsearch] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Royal College fellowships (FRCSC) and hospital/university affiliations are named; no registration numbers are published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. The site explicitly disclaims outcome guarantees ('No operation can guarantee a particular result'); no superlative or '100%'-class language found. [site] |
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, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-21 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. The site describes a consultation covering goals, alternatives, scars, recovery, limitations and material risks, and an aftercare process with homecare arrangements (risk and aftercare classes present); no dedicated consent form, revision-policy or complaint-route page was found.

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.
