Summary
Plastic-surgery clinic in Haifa's German Colony, with a second location in Nahariya. Responsible surgeon named with role; a Ministry of Health physician-licence record matches by name and specialty. A matching company was found in the Registrar of Companies with a deregistration-process sub-status; clarification requested.
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. Ministry of Health register (free-text match): ג'קי גוברין יהודאין, specialist certificate in כירורגיה פלסטית ואסתטית, matching the advertised specialty. [reg] |
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). Matched by licence number 144407. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [reg] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: none_found, 20 September 2026 — Both user agents receive the identical HTTP 200 Hebrew refusal page of 2,933 bytes (הפעולה אותה ביצעת אינה נתמכת) for every search endpoint, by POST and by GET, while the catalogue endpoints on the same host (GetAllRegistries, GetInstituteTypes) answer JSON normally to both — the class is unscriptable, not slow. Secondary routes: data.gov.il package_search for מוסדות רפואיים and for מרפאות returns only unrelated single-purpose lists and no institution-licence dataset; www.gov.il answers HTTP 403 to both user agents; www.health.gov.il serves a JavaScript anti-bot interstitial (HTTP 202). No secondary facility route found, and this clinic publishes no facility registration number of its own. |

| 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. The clinic names its operating company in the site footer without a registration number; the Registrar of Companies returns that name as company 514462241, an active Israeli private company incorporated 20/06/2010, last annual return filed for 2026. [company] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. |
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 the Hebrew front: home, the three physician pages, contact, the consent-forms page, the site terms and the accessibility statement. Comparative claims about the surgeons standing recur across the home and physician pages; no outcome or safety promise appears in the clinics own text, and the consent-forms page states that an exact result cannot be promised.

| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 4 language fronts (he, en, ru, ar) 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 None. No informed-consent, risk, aftercare or revision-policy content identified; the only feedback channel found is a generic website-accessibility contact, not a patient complaint route. [site-en] |

What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
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.
