Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

| 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. PRH/YTJ: KupiCare Oy, businessId 2277497-1, active since 2009-07-28, trading as KC Clinic.

SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. No guarantee or superlative-lexicon language found. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |

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.
| 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Heikki Kupi [site] [terhikki] | Plastic surgeon, founder | not published |
Legal entity: KupiCare Oy · 2277497-1 [prh]
Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site]
Secondary findings (not scored)
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.
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for KupiCare Oy (2277497-1); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[prh]
What we could not verify
- 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.
