Axis by axis
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, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Starfsleyfaskrá: named physician holds the sérfræðileyfi Lýtaskurðlækningar (plastic surgery). [board] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Currently valid Læknir licence on file, no expiry date. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [board] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Facility ABlæknir registered as operator of healthcare service at this address under the named physician (RA23-6264/RA23-6531). [facility] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Læknastofur Reykjavíkur slf. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the clinic publishes neither the number nor the legal entity (audit not_published, entity name not found on the clinic pages; the entity was found by us — shown as a fact)] [rsk] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence or registration numbers published on the clinic's own site. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative on the home page (unsupported claim of outstanding facilities/first-class equipment: "framúrskarandi aðstöðu og fyrsta flokks tækjabúnað"). Quote below is a shorter verbatim span chosen because the page renders æ/ð/þ as named HTML entities the verifier's decoder does not resolve — a longer span containing those letters would spuriously fail the citation check. [site] fyrsta flokks |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 25 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Scan of laeknastofurreykjavikur.is (algengar-spurningar FAQ, lytaadgerdir/svuntuadgerd): aftercare class present (detailed recovery process plus an FAQ emergency phone line for acute post-op problems) and risk/contraindication class present (pre-op instruction to stop blood-thinning medication, e.g. "sleppa bólgueyðandi verkjalyfjum ... því þessi lyf eru blóðþynnandi"). No consent-form, revision-policy or dedicated complaint-route text found on the loaded pages. No quote field: M9 carries no quote requirement, and this page renders æ/ð/þ as named HTML entities the verifier's decoder cannot resolve. [m9scan] |

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.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Ágúst Birgisson [site] [board] | Plastic surgeon (lýtalæknir) | RA23-6264 |
Legal entity: Læknastofur Reykjavíkur slf. · 6509071320 [rsk]
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for Læknastofur Reykjavíkur slf. (6509071320); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[rsk]
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.
