Dr. Federico Ramírez Zuluaga
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 66.7/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #21 of 33 ranked clinics · last checked 24 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.

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: isaps, 17 September 2026 — secondary source names the physician (former M1 = 2); shown on the profile as a fact — M1 is not scored while the country's specialist register is closed |
? | ? | 26 | 2026-09-24 |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The surgeon is named with his role on the equipo and profile pages and tied to this consulting room. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-17 | |
| 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: isaps, 17 September 2026 — ReTHUS is CAPTCHA-gated and unreachable from this environment; the ISAPS member card carries no Colombian registration number; SCCP remains unreachable. The site names several societies but publishes no registration number. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-09-24 |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. REPS habilitación record: FEDERICO RAMIREZ ZULUAGA, CC 71777860, Profesional Independiente, MEDELLÍN, KR 25 A # 1 A SUR 45 CS 828 (codigohabilitacionsede 050010819102) — name and consulting room match the site and the ISAPS listing. [reps] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-17 | |
| 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. Brand name only; no legal entity or registration number published by the clinic (rubric anchor 2). Register query logged: Exact-match query on the identification carried by the REPS habilitación record (CC 71777860) returned 0 rows; a two-term razón-social search (RAMIREZ + ZULUAGA) returned only unrelated natural person [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Memberships of several surgical societies are named without registration numbers; no facility or company numbers are published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Lexicon scan of the current text of 15 pages: safety promises without an absolute on the body page ("es una cirugía linda y segura"; fat transfer to the buttocks "es seguro, hecho por manos expertas") and superlatives on the biography ("obteniendo los mejores resultados en cirugía de párpados, rinoplastia") and the facilities page ("confort superior") — systematic non-absolute safety promises and superlatives, M7 = 3. No unconditional future absolute; "Procuramos los mejores resultados con el mínimo riesgo" (filosofia) is a statement of intent. The sentence withdrawn on 2026-09-17 is no longer the basis. read via crawler [site-cuerpo] [site-bio] En síntesis, es una cirugía linda y segura. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency All load-bearing fields agree. Mechanical comparison of 2 language fronts (es, en) on 2026-09-17: every matched physician name, phone number and published number appears on every front. [fronts] |
SEC | 5 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two of the five document classes are published: a statement of surgical risk on the out-of-town-patients page and post-operative care instructions on the body-surgery page. No informed-consent document, revision policy or complaint channel was found. [site] |

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.

| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible

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.

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.
