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.

rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. ABMS Certification Matters: Joseph John Castellano, Tampa FL, Certified, Surgery - Specialty (general surgery, not Plastic Surgery). The clinic's own site also displays non-ABMS credential logos (including the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery) with a disclaimer that this recognition is not affiliated with or recognized by the Florida Board of Medicine. Register specialty (general surgery) is not adjacent to the advertised segment; scored as found without a matching specialty. [cm] |

| 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. Legal entity Castellano Cosmetic Surgery Center, P.A., Document P11000017062, FEI 27-5204935, Status ACTIVE, Principal Address 105 S Macdill Ave Ste 203, Tampa FL; name and address match.

SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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. Lexicon scan of the pages loaded on 2026-09-20 (home, about-us, patient-resources): unsourced superlative claims about the practice and its team recur across several blocks of the home page; no outcome or safety guarantee and no claimed figure of certainty were found on the pages loaded.

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. |

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.
