Dr. Carlos Elías — Cirugía General y Plástica
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 54.4/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #23 of 27 ranked clinics · last checked 19 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Solo plastic-surgery practice in the Calacoto district of La Paz. Its own site names the responsible surgeon, describes the surgical and support team by specialty and publishes a facial and body menu together with botulinum toxin, plus a reconstructive-surgery outreach programme.
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 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 Not applicable: this country has no Specialist board register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-19 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The surgeon is named with his specialty on the clinic’s own home and team sections, and the contact page publishes one practice address. [site] [site-contacto] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Not applicable: this country has no Medical licence register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-19 |
| 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 — 203 establishments enumerated across the 5 urban La Paz reds; no facility named after the physician or his consulting building found |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-19 |
| 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 or company form; the earlier SEPREC search returned only an unrelated match in another department. Brand and personal name only. [site] [site-contacto] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Society memberships are named on the clinic’s own pages without any identifying numbers; no facility, company or physician number is published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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 through the home and team sections with no issuer named, and the verb "garantizar" is used about certified practice in general rather than as an outcome or safety guarantee (operator reading, 2026-09-19). Pages scanned: home, /contacto/, /rinoplastia/. [site] asegurando resultados excepcionales con la máxima seguridad y comodidad |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-19 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. The procedure pages publish aftercare instructions and a note on realistic expectations; no consent form, risk list, revision policy or complaint route found on the pages loaded. [site-rino] |

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] [site-contacto] |
|---|---|
| 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. Carlos Elías [site] [sbcper-profile] | Especialista en Cirugía General y Cirugía Plástica | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
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.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECFound in the SBCPER La Paz filial directory, a professional society, not a state board.[sbcper]
What we could not verify
- 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.
