Dr. Rolf Smit

Rank #23 of 33 ranked clinics · last checked 17 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: sccp, 17 September 2026 — Secondary routes run on 2026-09-17 for Dr. Rolf Smit Rincon: the ISAPS Colombia member list (71 members, GET ?locations=4813) returned no match and the AsoColDerma national dermatology directory (1,229 members) returned no match; the specialty-correct national society, SCCP «Buscar Cirujano», was re-probed last and is still unreachable from this environment (curl: TCP connect timeout on 443 and on 80 after ~21 s; WebFetch: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.99.84.39:443) while isaps.org and asocolderma.org.co answered 200 in the same session. No secondary source supports the certification, so the cell stays empty; this is not a finding about the physician. |

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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: sccp, 17 September 2026 — ReTHUS — the single register that carries both the licence to practise and the certified specialty in Colombia — is CAPTCHA-gated and web.sispro.gov.co is unreachable from this environment. The listed secondary routes were run on 2026-09-17: the AsoColDerma profile page and the ISAPS member card carry name, city, clinic, phone and address but no Colombian registration number, and SCCP remains unreachable (TCP connect timeout / ECONNREFUSED). The clinic’s own pages publish no registro médico number for the responsible physician. No number could be obtained; the cell stays empty. |

OFF | 10 | 2026-08-29 | |
| 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 CC 1018429845 returned 0 rows; a two-term razón-social search (SMIT + RINCON) returned nothing tied to this practice. Registered in REPS as a Profesional Independiente; no company [site] |

| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-29 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Rolf Smit Rincon [site] [reps] | Cirujano plastico, oncologo y microcirujano | not published |
Legal entity: could not verify
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
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
- 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.
