PENDING
check pending Measured · 82%
M1 · Doctor's credential & title tier 4 · 24%
UNVERIFIED Surgeons are individually named with titles — Dr Abizer Kapadia ('Consultant Plastic Surgery'), Dr Ahmed Khazbak ('expert consultant plastic surgeon', 20 yr) and several 'Specialist Plastic Surgery' clinicians — at consultant/specialist tier matching the scope; no DHCC/DHCR licence number or board-cert detail is shown on the doctor pages, holding it below top as of 2026-07-09. source ↗
M2 · Facility licence & regulator fit 4 · 16%
UNVERIFIED The entity is a confirmed DHCC free-zone hospital — legal name 'AACSH FZ-LLC', Building 73, Umm Hurair 2 — regulated by DHCR, so the correct regulator path is a free-zone branch, not DHA; absence from DHA search is expected and not a failure. The facility / DHCC licence number is not published (on-request verification), holding it below top as of 2026-07-09. source ↗
M3 · Board / specialist certification 3 · 12%
UNVERIFIED Institutional JCI is claimed ('Accredited by the Joint Commission International', 'Gold Seal since 2008'), but only 2016-era press supports it and a current live JCI-directory listing was not found on the issuing registry this pass; individual surgeon board certs are not quoted, so the claims read as claimed, not currently verified as of 2026-07-09. source ↗ · provisional
M4 · Advertising compliance 2 · 12%
UNVERIFIED The DHCC/DHCR licence number is not shown (a disclosure gap) and pages carry superiority wording — 'best in the industry', 'only cosmetic surgery hospital in the UAE', 'first hospital in the region' — though no from-AED or guarantee advertising was found, as of 2026-07-09. source ↗ · provisional
M5 · Surgeon accountability 4 · 12%
UNVERIFIED Surgeons are individually named and profiled, so core procedures are attributable to named senior clinicians; some hospital/brand-led framing ('29+ Doctors, 15,000+ Patients, 98% Satisfaction') and branch/team handoff details remain to confirm, as of 2026-07-09. source ↗ · provisional
M6 · Price / process transparency 3 · 6%
UNVERIFIED No prices are published; the path is consultation-driven with a describable clinical process, as of 2026-07-09. source ↗ · provisional
Editorial · 18%
E1 · Practice continuity 3 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — The vehicle is a standalone JCI-claiming hospital with its own Board of Trustees (founder Dr Jeehan Abdul Qadir, CEO Dr Adam Bader), independent within DHCC with no NMC / other-group ownership; real clinicians exist but the institution is the primary vehicle, as of 2026-07-09. source ↗ · provisional
E2 · Claim cleanliness 2 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — The promise surface uses unverified superlatives — 'only cosmetic surgery hospital in the UAE ... JCI', 'first in DHCC 2008', 'best in the industry', '150+ countries' — with no issuer proof for the JCI / first claims, as of 2026-07-09. source ↗ · provisional
E3 · International-patient pathway 2 · 4%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Medical-tourism positioning is present ('40% medical travelers, 150+ countries'), but the dedicated international-patients page returned a 404, so the specific pathway could not be verified in the checked public source as of 2026-07-09. source ↗ · provisional
E4 · Regulator-zone honesty 5 · 2%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Zone presentation is honest and correct — the hospital presents as a DHCC free-zone entity (FZ-LLC, Umm Hurair 2) under the DHCR regulator with no DHA claim; DHA-absence is the expected free-zone position, not a fault. A third-party registry lists an unrelated cancelled individual licence and some aggregators label staff 'DHA-licensed', but these are not AACSH self-claims, as of 2026-07-09. source ↗
AACSH correctly presents as a DHCC free-zone hospital (FZ-LLC, DHCR regulator); its absence from DHA search is the expected free-zone position, not a fault. Its institutional JCI claim rests on 2016-era press — a current JCI listing was not found on the issuing registry as of 2026-07-09. Documented status, not a judgement; a right of reply is open.

What this register does NOT measure We do not rate the result of a procedure, a surgeon's skill, complications or "who's better". We verify structural facts: the doctor's DHA/DHCC licence and title tier, the facility licence, board-certification claims, advertising compliance, surgeon accountability and price — and where something is unconfirmed, we say so.
