Summary
Single-surgeon plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery practice based at Clínica Cordillera in Las Condes, Santiago. The surgeon is named with his role, a full published curriculum and peer-reviewed publications, and the host facility holds a current record in the MINSAL/DEIS national register of health establishments. The site publishes downloadable informed-consent forms per procedure and detailed pre- and post-operative instructions; the surgeon states that his register number can be looked up at the Superintendencia rather than publishing it.
Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence 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: clinic_self_published, 18 September 2026 — The state RNPI licence register is unreachable (re-probed 2026-09-18). Certifications and memberships (PUC, CONACEM, Sociedad Chilena de Cirugía Plástica, ASPS) are named in words only; the site explicitly states that the surgeon's Superintendencia register number is available on request at the Superintendencia rather than publishing it (re-checked 2026-09-18).

? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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. The practice is given as Clínica Cordillera, Las Condes, with a map pin at Av. Alejandro Fleming 7889. The MINSAL/DEIS register holds establishment 112204 "Nueva Clínica Cordillera", Clínica, Privado, Las Condes, Avenida Alexander Fleming 7885, EstadoFuncionamiento "Vigente en Operación Habitual" — same address, name recorded with an additional word.

OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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. Re-checked 2026-09-18: no razón social or RUT is published anywhere on the site; the practice is presented under the physician's own name at the host facility Clínica Cordillera (brand-only, v1.2 M5=2 anchor — completed scan, not a register miss). [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Certifications and memberships are named in words (PUC, CONACEM, Sociedad Chilena de Cirugía Plástica, ASPS) but no number is published; the site states that the surgeon’s register number is available at the Superintendencia rather than printing it. [site-cv] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No pattern from the lexicon was found in the practice’s own text: no guarantee, no absolute-safety claim and no unattributed superlative about itself. Superlative wording appears only inside patient testimonials, which are out of scope. [site] [site-preop] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two of the five document classes are published: downloadable informed-consent forms per procedure and detailed post-operative aftercare instructions, alongside pre-operative preparation guidance and a stated 24-hour contact route to the surgeon. No revision policy or complaint route found. [site-preop] [site-postop] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] [site-cv] |
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.

| Dr. Cristóbal Longton [site] [site-cv] | Cirujano plástico, estético y reconstructivo; responsible surgeon of the practice | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
What we could not verify
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- 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.
