Kauvery Hospital — Plastic Surgery (Alwarpet)
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 58/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #10 of 21 ranked clinics · last checked 30 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Plastic surgery department of a multi-specialty hospital chain, with four named consultant plastic surgeons at the clinic's own "Chennai - Alwarpet" listing. The operating company is found in the NABH accredited-facility register at a matching street address (Luz Church Road, Mylapore — the neighbouring locality name used in the register); the specialist-board and medical-licence registers for Tamil Nadu could not be queried.
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 in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Dr. Arul Mozhi Mangai (TN Medical Council reg. 72041, 2003) and Dr. Sathish Manivel (TN Medical Council reg. 127577, 2017, listed as "Sathish Kumar, Manivel") both found via the NMC national cross-check; the list does not disclose specialty. Prof. V.B. Narayana Murthy and Dr. Sharat Kumar could not be confirmed this pass. [nmc] |

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Four plastic surgeons named with role and qualifications, tied to this branch. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Same NMC records as M1: Mangai and Manivel each matched by name on the Tamil Nadu Medical Council. [nmc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |

OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |

SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No guarantee, 100%-class, or unattributed best/No.1 pattern found on the reviewed plastic-surgery page. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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. |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.

Who is responsible

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.
- M4 · Facility registration SECNABH register: "Kauvery Hospital (A Unit of Sri Kauvery Medical Care India Limited)", 199, Luz Church Road, Mylapore, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600004, accreditation H-2019-0625, status Accredited. The clinic's own doctor-listing page names this branch "Chennai - Alwarpet" while the register lists the same flagship Chennai hospital under the adjoining locality name Mylapore — treated as a match with a locality-naming discrepancy, not a full 5.[nabh]
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.
