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.

ABMS Certification Matters: Baruch Jacobs, MD, currently certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, specialty Plastic Surgery, first certified 1992, status Certified; actively maintaining certification No (not required). Found only when the state filter is dropped, as the register itself advises: the reported location on the profile is University Heights, OH, the Cleveland area where the clinic states the physician completed his plastic surgery residency.

What we could not verify

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.
