Cronos — Dr. Fernando Garzón

Rank #14 of 19 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Single-physician plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery clinic in Córdoba, branded Cronos. Responsible surgeon named with role and address; the operating facility and its operating company are both matched by name and address in the national facility register and the national companies register. Not found under this surname in either the SACPER or the provincial plastic-surgery society member directories.
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: sacper, 18 September 2026 — Secondary routes run for the closed specialist_board class: the SACPER member directory returns no row for this surname, and the SCPBA directory covers Buenos Aires only. A society membership is voluntary, so its absence is not evidence about the physician. M1 is not scored while the country’s own specialist register (REFEPS, inside SISA) answers no scripted client. |

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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: sacper, 18 September 2026 — Secondary route run for the closed medical_licence class: no member row for this surname. REFEPS (SISA) was re-probed the same day: the scripted GWT-RPC search returns SessionTimeOutException and the REST service returns ERROR_AUTENTICACION, so the licence register answers no scripted client. SACPER publishes membership category, regional chapter and declared specialty, never a matrícula number. The clinic itself publishes no matrícula number for the physician responsible for the aesthetic service. |

| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. REFES facility register: name and address match exactly (Centro Privado Cronos de Cirugía Plástica S.R.L., Caseros 627, Córdoba capital). [refes] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| 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 only: the clinic names no legal entity — no company name with a legal form (S.A. / S.R.L. / S.A.S.) and no CUIT — on any page loaded on 2026-09-18: the home page, nosotros.html, contacto.html, cirugias.html and rinoplastia.html. The site trades as "CRONOS", a brand without a legal form. The operating company Centro Privado Cronos de Cirugía Plástica S.R.L. (CUIT 30-71128294-3) was located by us in the national facility register and the national companies register, not published by the clinic; under methodology v1.2 a company the collector finds through another register does not raise M5 — it is carried on M4.

SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. Society memberships are claimed by name but no licence, facility or registration numbers are published on the site. [site-nosotros] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative describing the clinic's own care. [site-nosotros] entregando a nuestros paciente la mejor atención profesional |
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 None. No informed-consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route documentation found on the site. [site] |

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

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.

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.

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.

Change history
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M1: null → null (Secondary route run for the closed specialist_board class (v1.2 pass 1): the pending attempt was replaced by the SACPER query actually executed) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M5: 5 → 2 (Re-scored under the methodology v1.2 M5 ladder: 5 requires the CLINIC to publish the entity and its registration number; here the entity was located by the collector in the facility and companies registers, which is carried on M4, not on M5) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M3: null → null (Re-run against REFEPS/SISA and its secondary routes (v1.2 pass 1): the licence register is closed to scripted clients and the clinic publishes no matrícula number, so the cell is registry_closed, not a value) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M1.nullReason: "retry" → "registry_closed" (Methodology v1.2 (owner ruling 2026-09-18): specialist register closed for the whole site (closedAttempt on record): the axis leaves the coverage denominator) |
