Summary
Plastic-surgery and dermatology clinic in the Lourdes district of Belo Horizonte, run by three named surgeons whose CRM-MG and RQE numbers are published on the site. The clinic's establishment record (CNES 3597326, AVAH MEDICINA LTDA) and the operating company (CNPJ 37.480.651/0001-36, status active) were matched in the federal registers at the same address; all three physicians are the registered partners of that company.

| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. All three named physicians appear in the CNES professional register with CBO 225235 MEDICO CIRURGIAO PLASTICO, two of them at this clinic's own establishment (CNES 3597326). CNES records the occupation held at a registered establishment; it is not board certification, and for Minas Gerais the state medical council's specialty search is captcha-gated, so no board-grade confirmation of the RQE was available.

OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Three physicians named with role and licence numbers on the clinic's own about page, tied to the Bias Fortes address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by full name in the Ministry of Health CNES professional register, with a current medical post at a registered establishment. The state medical council register is captcha-gated in Minas Gerais, so no match by licence number was possible. [cnes-prof-julia-real] [cnes-prof-henrique-freitas] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. CNES 3597326 AVAH MEDICINA LTDA, CLINICA/CENTRO DE ESPECIALIDADE, Av. Bias Fortes 349, Belo Horizonte/MG — name and address match the site. [cnes-estab] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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. CNPJ 37.480.651/0001-36 matched by name and address in the Receita Federal company data, status ATIVA since 2020-06-22; the three named physicians are its registered partners. The number is not published on the clinic's own site. [rfb] [cnes-estab] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. CRM and RQE numbers published for each physician; no facility (CNES) or company (CNPJ) number published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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. The clinic’s own text says that its technique and attention to detail ensure natural and lasting results — the verb is used in the sense of making sure, without an absolute; read as promotional wording (operator reading of 2026-09-20). Quoted as evidence. [site] Nossos procedimentos são realizados com técnica avançada e atenção aos detalhes, garantindo resultados naturais e duradouros. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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 | 2026-08-30 |

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.

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.
