Stanford Medical Center
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 62.5/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #18 of 19 ranked clinics · last checked 20 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Multi-specialty centre in Zinj with a branch in Riffa, marketing aesthetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery alongside orthopaedics, ENT and general medicine. Dermatologists are named with their qualifications; the surgical service is described without naming the operating surgeon. Two branches are on the NHRA licensed-facility register with status Active.
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 is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. The physicians named on the site are found in the licence register with Specialty Dermatology, adjacent to the surgical menu advertised; the surgeon for that menu is not named on the site.

OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Dermatologists named with role, qualification and branch hours. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the current monthly licence list; licence numbers 11018671, 11019376 and 11020879. [nhra_hcp] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Two branch records found with status Active; the site lists a third location that is not in the register snapshot. [nhra_hcf] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 publishes a trading name only: no legal form and no commercial registration number appear on any page loaded (https://stanfordclinics.com/ , /privacy-policy/ , /terms-and-conditions/). Re-probed 2026-09-20 with both user agents. POST https://api.sijilat.bh/api/CRdetails/AdvanceSearchCR_Paging (no Authorization header) returns HTTP 401 {"Message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."} to a Chrome UA and to a short tool UA alike, and the public ASPX pages render no company rows server-side, so no CR record can be read. Secondary routes searched and none found (OpenCorporates 403 / token-gated, Dun & Bradstreet 403, Zawya 404, BCCI and bahrainbusinessdirectory unreachable). Scored on the v1.2 ladder from the clinic's own pages instead. read via browser [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The regulator is named in a page title without registration or licence numbers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 without an issuer recur across the home, about and department text. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (en, ar, x-العربية) on 2026-09-17: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M9 | Patient documents None. None of the five document classes found on the site. [site] |
