Skin Essentials
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 60.2/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #6 of 13 ranked clinics · last checked 19 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Not applicable: this country has no Specialist board register. |
— | — | — | 2026-09-19 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Physician named with role and training on a dedicated page, repeated in the site-wide footer, and tied to the practice address published on the contact page. [site-doctor] [site-contact] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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: Dian Barrett-Robinson, registered 1994, parish Kingston (record 442) — the only Dian in the register; the clinic publishes the surname as Robinson, so the match carries a surname discrepancy.

OFF | 8 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 19 September 2026 — No match in either edition of the list of institutional health facilities registered under the Nursing Homes Registration Act; an office-based practice is not covered by this register. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-19 |
| 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. Scan of the home, meet-the-doctor, services and contact pages found no legal entity named; the footer copyright line carries the brand only. [site] [site-contact] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Physician qualifications published (medical degree from the University of the West Indies, postgraduate dermatology at St John’s Institute of Dermatology, University of London); no licence, facility or company numbers published. [site-doctor] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-19 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative in the clinic’s own copy (the site tagline); no outcome or safety guarantee and no "100%"-class statement found on the pages scanned. [site] Bringing out the best skin in you |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-19 | |
| 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 | 2026-09-19 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. Pages loaded: home, Meet The Doctor, Services and Contact. None of the five classes published — no informed-consent document, no risk disclosure, no aftercare instructions, no revision policy and no complaint route. [site] [site-services] |

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.
