Rank #15 of 15 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Boutique surgical hospital on Victoria Island, Lagos, whose departments include cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery alongside orthopaedics, radiology and physiotherapy. Two plastic surgeons are named with their roles on the clinic’s own doctor-team page.
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 Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: napras, 18 September 2026 — One of the two plastic surgeons named by the clinic is listed in the national plastic surgeons association directory (POST lastname=Ige returns "Dr. Ige, Charles Olajide"); the ISAPS Nigeria member list does not carry either of them. An association directory is not a certification register, so nothing is scored; the finding is shown on the card as a fact. |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The clinic’s own doctor-team page names two plastic surgeons with their roles and ties them to this centre. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: napras, 18 September 2026 — MDCN’s free public lookup answers HTTP 500 to every query and its portal route is fee- and account-gated, so no licence record can be read. The NAPRAS surname search returns an association record for one of the two named plastic surgeons; that is not a licence register, and the clinic publishes no MDCN folio number. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-18 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 18 September 2026 — 0 rows for the trading name and for "cass"; the full Lagos listing carries no facility under this name. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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. The clinic’s own pages name no legal entity: the footer and the privacy policy carry the trading name only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No identifiers are published: foreign board certification is claimed for individual surgeons but no number, and no licence, facility or company registration number appears anywhere on the site. Pages loaded 2026-09-18: /, /about-us/, /doctor-team/, /connect-with-us/, /privacy-policy/. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| 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. Superlatives recur across the site, in the department descriptions, the about page and the contact page; no outcome guarantee was found. [site] We have a world-class medical team equipped with cutting-edge medical services and resources. |
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, 18 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 None. None of the five document classes is published: no informed consent, risks/contraindications, aftercare, revision policy or complaint route was found; the privacy policy covers data only. Pages loaded 2026-09-18: /, /about-us/, /doctor-team/, /connect-with-us/, /privacy-policy/. [site] |

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 |

| Dr. Ige Olajide Charles [site] [napras] | Plastic Surgery | not published |

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.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECOne of the two plastic surgeons named on the clinic’s doctor-team page is listed in the national plastic surgeons association directory (secondary source).[napras]
What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
- 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.
