Dr. Frances Berry Dermatology

Rank #10 of 13 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Dermatology practice with an Ocho Rios office, also operating locations in Kingston and May Pen. The responsible physician is named on the clinic's own site and matched by name in the Medical Council of Jamaica's public register.
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.

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 Not applicable: this country has no Specialist board register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-18 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. Practice is branded with the physician's name and address is given per-location; no separate physician bio/credentials page found. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Medical Council of Jamaica register: Frances Berry, registered 1991, parish Kingston. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit short_number) — matched by name] [mcj] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 18 September 2026 — No match among the ~33 facilities registered under the Nursing Homes Registration Act as at 31-Mar-2024; an office-based practice is not covered by this register. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| 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. Full re-scan of the clinic's own site found no legal entity named anywhere — brand only. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence or registration numbers published on the clinic's own site. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-01 | |
| 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 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. Services page mentions skin-cancer risk factors and describes microdermabrasion as having 'minimal downtime and few complications', but these are vague marketing mentions, not real risk-disclosure documents; no informed-consent, aftercare, revision-policy, or complaint-route documents found.

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.
