Dr. Rodrigo Mercado — Cirugía 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.

No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Solo plastic-surgery practice in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The site names one responsible surgeon and publishes a facial and body menu — rhinoplasty, facelift, otoplasty, 3D liposculpture, breast surgery, abdominoplasty and body lift. Operations are carried out at the One Day Clinic premises on Av. Roca Coronado, which the practice describes on its own facilities page.
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.

| 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 practice's own pages name no legal entity or company form; SEPREC company search on 'ONE DAY CLINIC' and 'EDWARD RODRIGO MERCADO' returned no registration under either name. 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 about page without any identifying numbers; no facility, company or physician number is published. [site-about] |
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 on the about page and on the procedure pages with no issuer named; no outcome or safety guarantee found. Pages scanned: home, /quienes-somos.php, /instalaciones.php, /contacto.php, /lipoescultura-3d.php. A statistics tile on the about page pairs a percentage figure with a safety label across two separate elements — reported to the operator rather than scored as a guarantee. [site-about] [site-lipo] El Dr. Edward Rodrigo Mercado es uno de los cirujanos plásticos más reconocidos de Santa Cruz, con una formación académica de élite en los centros más importantes de Sudamérica y Europa. |
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 liposculpture page describes the post-operative stage and the FAQ covers recovery time and anaesthesia; no consent form, risk list, revision policy or complaint route found on the pages loaded. [site-lipo] |

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.
