Badr Al Samaa Hospital Salalah — Dermatology
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 58.3/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #8 of 17 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Dermatology department with an aesthetic menu inside a private hospital in Salalah, part of a regional hospital group. One consultant dermatologist is named for this branch with his qualifications. Oman publishes no name-searchable practitioner or facility register, and the open legal-entity register covers Muscat governorate only.
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: ods, 18 September 2026 — No match on either secondary route: the international society directory holds only two Oman-located members (Dr. Sheikhan Al Hashmi, Dr. Gopal Malhotra) and the society roster names none of this record’s physicians. Absence carries no information about certification — both lists are small and skewed. The country’s own specialist register (hakeem.omsb.gov.om) is login-gated (closedAttempt on record), so M1 is not scored anywhere on this site (methodology v1.2 § 7). |

| M3 | Basic medical licence Not applicable: this country has no Medical licence register. No public practitioner register exists in Oman (register map: medical_licence = null). |

| 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. The branch site carries the group trading style «Badr Al Samaa Group of Hospitals and Medical Centres» in the footer of every page — a brand, with no legal form, company name or registration number (brand only). No register that reaches Dhofar could be queried: the national commercial register on the Oman Business Platform was re-probed on 2026-09-18 and still renders a server-verified BotDetect CAPTCHA before its first step, and the open municipal licence guide covers Muscat governorate only.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Group accreditation marks shown; no licence, registration or physician numbers published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. A ranking claim without a named issuer appears in the page title; the body text carries no further lexicon wording. [site] Dermatology Department | Best Dermatologist in Muscat, Oman |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. A patient feedback route is published; no consent, risks, aftercare or revision page found. [site-feedback] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.

Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a 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.

What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- 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.
