Summary
Aesthetic-surgery clinic in Graz operated by GKFAC GmbH. Both named physicians are found in the national specialist-board register, holding specialist certification in a different discipline than the aesthetic services advertised. The operating facility is listed in the Ministry of Social Affairs' register under a different, earlier address.
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 in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Both named physicians found in the specialist register; the registered specialisations (general/visceral surgery; ENT) differ from the aesthetic surgery advertised on the site.

| 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). |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Facility register lists this clinic's name and website at Herrengasse 28, Graz; the clinic's own site and its company and physician register entries now show Brauquartier 7, Graz-Puntigam.

| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity and its registration number are published by the clinic and matched in the register. |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Dr. Arco – seit vielen Jahren einer der beliebtesten Chirurgen im Süden von Österreich. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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 Two or three. Pages loaded in German on 2026-09-20: home, AGB, Impressum, Kostenübernahme. Three of the five classes are published — the consent step (the terms set out the statutory two-week interval between the Aufklärungsgespräch and the Einwilligungserklärung), aftercare (the terms make the Nachbehandlungsprotokoll a condition) and a revision clause naming what a re-operation within 14 days costs. Risks are described as part of the consultation rather than published; the Impressum states that the clinic does not take part in consumer dispute resolution and no other complaint route is named.

Score ceilings

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
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.

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.
