Verification Process

1. Identity— government-issued photo ID matching the applicant's name.
2. Medical license — current registration with the relevant national authority (e.g. Türk Tabipleri Birliği for Türkiye, Bundesärztekammer / regional Ärztekammer for Germany, GMC for the UK). Specialty title is matched against the national specialist register.
3. Clinic licensing — for clinics, the operating permission issued by the relevant ministry of health or local authority.
4. Professional liability insurance — proof of valid cover.
5. Address verification — clinic address verified by registered post or via business registry.
6. Sanctions and disciplinary check — open public sources are checked for known sanctions or revoked licenses.

A green "Verified" badge appears on a profile only after all six checks pass. Profiles whose verification has expired or whose documents are pending re-submission are shown without the badge until the renewal is complete.

We re-check medical license and insurance status at least once every 12 months, and immediately when:

• A patient reports a concern.
• A regulator publicly issues a sanction.
• The clinic name, address or owner changes.

We do not — and cannot — guarantee individual treatment outcomes, surgeon skill on a specific case, or quality of post-operative care. A "Verified" badge means the legal credentials are in order; it is not a quality grade.

If you suspect a profile is fake, the credentials are misrepresented, or you have a serious concern about a doctor or clinic, contact [email protected].

Reports are reviewed within 48 hours. While the case is open, we may temporarily suspend the badge or hide the profile.
