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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. HealthPro (FPS Public Health): Thiessen Filip, Vrints Ina, Van Thielen Jana, De Roeck Lynn and Tondu Thierry — all specialities MBS45 (plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery), qualification code 210, status active; Vrints and Van Thielen's registered practice address matches ("Clinic 12b" / "CLINIC12B", Beukenlaan 10B/10b, 2020 Antwerpen).

OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. The clinic's own site names one of its surgeons (Prof. Dr Thiessen) with role; it states the team comprises six plastic surgeons without naming the others there. [site] |
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 name in HealthPro for all five (nihdi 11937829, 19824028, 14943938, 13821906, 10942687). [healthpro] [healthpro-vrints] [healthpro-vanthielen] [healthpro-deroeck] [healthpro-tondu] |

| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — recordsTotal 0 on every leg. The register covers the whole of Flanders, where this treatment address lies, and the positive control Name=Universitair Ziekenhuis Gent returned recordsTotal 2 in the same session. Belgian law recognises hospitals, not private clinics, so the absence of a row is the expected state and is not a finding about this clinic. Queried in the Flemish care-facility register (CoBRHA Viewer) by enterprise number and by name; no row returned. Belgian law recognises hospitals, not private clinics, so this axis carries no value for a private practice. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| 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. Matched by name and address in KBO/BCE ("Clinic 12B", enterprise 0845.535.142, Beukenlaan 10B, 2020 Antwerpen); the registration number itself is not published on the clinic's own site. [kbo] |

| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
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. |

Who is responsible

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.
