Neogen
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 73.2/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #4 of 11 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Single-site plastic-surgery clinic run by a named plastic surgeon with over 40 years in the field. The operating legal entity is matched in the state company register; no facility-accreditation record was located under either the brand name or the legal entity.
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 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. The about page names the legal entity («CCE Neogen SRL») without a company registration number. Matched by name in the state company register: IDNO 1004600069552, Clinica de Chirurgie Estetică «NEOGEN» Societate cu Răspundere Limitată, address M. Lomonosov 37 matches, active. [asp] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. The clinic's own about page publishes a facility licence number without naming the issuer ("CCE Neogen SRL, licenta nr. 034498"); no other identifiers published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. Two soft, unsubstantiated superlatives on the about page ("Prima clinică, specializată exclusiv în chirurgie estetică!" and "Siguranţă, calitate, confort şi garanţie sunt principiile de bază"); no outcome guarantee or '100%'-class claim about the surgery itself (the implant manufacturer's own lifetime-warranty programme is described factually, not offered by the clinic as a surgical-outcome guarantee). [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (ro, ru, en) on 2026-09-21: physician "Dr. Viorel Cotea" on ro/en only; a phone number appears on one front only. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two of five document classes found on 2026-09-18: risks (service/rhinoplasty/: "RISCURILE OPERAŢIEI Nu exista operaţie care să nu implice un risc..."), aftercare (service/rhinoplasty/, service/liposactie/ and service/abdominoplastie/ all carry a "RECUPERAREA"/postoperative-care section). No informed-consent text beyond the GDPR data-consent clause on the privacy page (not counted); no revision-policy or patient-complaint-route text found (the privacy page's route to the national data-protection authority is a GDPR complaint channel, not a patient/treatment one).

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.
