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 matches what this physician advertises. Thessaloniki Medical Association register: ΓΚΟΤΣΙΚΑΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣ, specialty ΠΛΑΣΤΙΚΟΣ-ΧΕΙΡΟΥΡΓΟΣ, member id 00013665 — matches the plastic surgery advertised on the site. [isth] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
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 compulsory medical-association register; the practice publishes no registration number of its own. [isth] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Registered practice on the association record: «Π.Π.ΓΕΡΜΑΝΟΥ 28 (1 ΟΡΟΦΟΣ), ΘΕΣΣΑΛΟΝΙΚΗ, 54622, τηλ. 2310234565» — street, floor, postcode and phone match the site. [isth] |
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. Brand only: https://gkotsikas.gr/ and the 70 pages of its page sitemap name no legal entity and publish no tax or commercial-register number. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty An unconditional absolute about the patient's future safety or the treatment outcome — zero risk, no complications, “100% safe”, “result guaranteed” — in the clinic's own rendered text (bright line; cap 65). Complete lexicon scan of the 70 pages of the site sitemap. A procedure page states an unconditional level of safety for the operation in the clinic’s own text; comparable wording appears on three further procedure pages. [site] η λιποαναρρόφηση είναι μία επέμβαση απολύτως ασφαλής |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (el, en, x-english) 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 Two or three. Procedure pages publish recovery/aftercare instructions and a complication list; no consent document, revision policy or complaint route was found. [rhino] |

Score ceilings
- Outcome guarantee or ‘100% safe’-class statement — ceiling 65/100The clinic's own page https://gkotsikas.gr/plastiki-xeirourgiki/soma/lipoanarrofisi/ (el, 2026-09-20) states: “η λιποαναρρόφηση είναι μία επέμβαση απολύτως ασφαλής”. Under this methodology an outcome guarantee caps the score at 65.[site]
Ceilings are applied only from verified-false findings with the exact quote or register entry cited. The clinic has a right of reply; a statement with a source changes the data, a statement without one is shown next to it.
