MedEst
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 61.7/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #9 of 16 ranked clinics · last checked 17 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Single-site cosmetology and aesthetic medicine clinic. Facility licence and legal-entity registration matched at the same address.
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 Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: doctors_am, 17 September 2026 — ISAPS Armenia group, IAAPS board and the doctors.am dermatology, dermatovenereology and cosmetology listings queried on 2026-09-17: no entry for Marina Shishmanyan. |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-17 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: clinic_published_number, 17 September 2026 — Loaded 26 pages in ru, hy and en on 2026-09-17; no licence or registration number is published, so the M3 = 3 anchor is unreachable. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-17 |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. Facility licence matched by name and exact operating address. [elic] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Legal entity matched by name and registered seat. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the clinic publishes neither the number nor the legal entity (audit not_published, entity name not found on the clinic pages; the entity was found by us — shown as a fact)] [moj] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, registration, certificate or TIN number appears on any of the 26 loaded pages. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft claim without an issuer in the clinic own text; no outcome guarantee and no "100%" claim. Superlatives found elsewhere on the site sit inside patient testimonials, which are out of scope. [site] гарантирует, что наша массажная терапия |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Some facts appear on only one front. Mechanical comparison of 3 language fronts (ru, hy, en) on 2026-09-21: physician "Marina Shishmanyan" on en only; a phone number appears on one front only. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-21 | |
| M9 | Patient documents One. One document class present: a standing contraindication advisory on the Armenian services page. No consent form, aftercare instructions, revision policy or complaint route on the loaded pages. [site] հնարավոր հակացուցումների |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.
| Physician | Role | Register ID |
|---|---|---|
| Marina Shishmanyan [site] | Chief physician, dermatologist-venereologist | not published |

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.
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for «ՄԵԴԷՍԹ» ՍՊԸ (MedEst LLC) (264.110.06361); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[moj]
What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M3 · Basic medical licence — Register closed to machine queries
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.
