Alter-MED
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 58/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #10 of 11 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Clinic of aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery with a named medical director (dermatologist-cosmetologist) and two named plastic surgeons. No facility- or legal-entity register record was located for this operator under its own brand name; a distinct, unrelated company of a similar name is not this clinic.
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.

| 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. The clinic's own pages name no legal entity, IDNO or legal form — brand only. A distinct "SRL ALTERMED" (IDNO 1026600002450) exists in the state register but its address (Alexei Mateevici 29) does not match the clinic's own address (Alba-Iulia 81/3) and the row carries a liquidation date (dissolved 2026-05-14) — not this clinic.

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.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| 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] |
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
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
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.
