The Esthetic Clinics — Bengaluru (Koramangala)
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 48.2/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #16 of 21 ranked clinics · last checked 30 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Multi-city cosmetic surgery and dermatology chain, co-founded by a named facial plastic/cosmetic surgeon and a named dermatologist, consulting at a partner hospital location in Koramangala. A National Accreditation Board for Hospitals search under this clinic's own name returned no record; the specialist-board and medical-licence registers for Karnataka 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. Debraj Shome (co-founder) found on Maharashtra Medical Council (reg. 2000021302, 2000) and cross-confirmed on Tamil Nadu Medical Council (reg. 67798, 2001) via the NMC national list, same parent name (Debabrata Shome) on both; neither list discloses specialty. Dr. Rinky Kapoor could not be confirmed this pass (surname too common in the NMC national list). [mmc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. Co-founders named with role and qualifications network-wide; this Koramangala page ties them to a consulting arrangement at a partner hospital rather than a dedicated home clinic. [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 finding as M1: Dr. Debraj Shome matched by name on two state medical councils via the NMC national list. [mmc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Not applicable: this country has no Facility register. |
— | — | — | 2026-08-30 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). Legal entity named on the clinic's own privacy-policy page ("Esthetic Pioneers International Private Limited"); the MCA company register is not machine-accessible and no working secondary route was found this pass. [site-legal] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration or certification numbers published on the reviewed pages. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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. Systematic superlative wording ("world-renowned", "most renowned", "most sought after") plus a stated "90% Success Rate" statistic; no outcome guarantee or 100%-class statement found.

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. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-08-30 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route content found on the home and privacy-policy pages loaded this pass. [site] |

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.
