ClinicScout does not provide medical advice
ClinicScout is not a healthcare provider, clinic, hospital, medical tourism agency or treatment center. Reports do not diagnose, prescribe or recommend any treatment.
Methodology
How the ClinicScout Trust Score is built — and what it explicitly is not.
Process
Nine signals, weighted lenses, traceable evidence.
Every score is a deterministic combination of publicly observable signals about a clinic. The same nine signals are applied to every clinic in the index.
Lens 01 · Reputation
Authority-weighted citations across forums, news archives and accreditation registries.
Lens 02 · Transparency
Public pricing, named surgeons, complication rates, before/after disclosure.
Lens 03 · Patient feedback
Long-form reviews, language consistency, recency, reply discipline.
Lens 04 · Digital presence
Domain integrity, social consistency, surgeon attribution, content authorship.
Lens 05 · Risk signals
27 detectors covering review manipulation, complaint clustering, pricing surprises, and more.
Disclaimer
What ClinicScout is — and what it is not.
Scores are informational, not clinical ratings
Scores reflect public trust signals, not clinical quality. All findings should be independently verified before any healthcare decision.
No payment-to-influence
ClinicScout does not accept payment from clinics to influence scoring, surface placement, or report content.
