Summary
Facial plastic surgery practice and medical spa on Baymeadows Road East in Jacksonville. The responsible surgeon is named with his role and tied to this address; his medical licence was matched by name in the official Florida register and its address of record is this address, and the nationwide specialist directory records him in a specialty adjacent to the advertised facial surgery.
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.

| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. ABMS Certification Matters: Juan Felipe Garcia, MD, Jacksonville FL, currently certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, first certified 2002, most recent certification 2022, status Certified. The register specialty is adjacent to the facial surgery advertised here rather than identical; the second certification the practice names, in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, is issued by a board outside the ABMS member list that this register covers. The physician is identified through the Florida licence record, whose address of record is this practice address. [cm] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The practice names the responsible physician with role on its own pages and ties that physician to this address; the same address is the address of record on the physician licence in the state register. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Florida MQA licence ME77632, GARCIA, JUAN FELIPE, Medical Doctor, Clear/Active, address of record 7807 Baymeadows Rd. E. Suite 301, Jacksonville, matching this address; matched by name search. Discipline on File No, Public Complaint No. [mqa] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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 — No office-surgery registration on file for this address. The one row under the practice name, OSR513, Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery Institute, is registered at Neptune Beach with License Status Null And Void; the practice publishes no facility number of its own. Register queried, no record found for this address. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| 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. |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The physician profile names the two boards behind his certifications, but the site publishes no licence number, no facility registration number and no company registration number. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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, contact, physician profile, staff, locations, scar revision gallery): unsourced superlative claims about the practice and the surgeon recur on the home page and the physician profile, one quoted below; no outcome or safety guarantee was found. Text inside patient testimonials was left out of scope. [site] the premier facial plastic surgery center in Jacksonville |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 20 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Pages loaded on 2026-09-20: a consultation form and a post-operative instructions page are published, and the site carries a patient resources section; no statement of procedure risks, no revision policy and no complaint route were found. [site] |

What we could not verify

- 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.
