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 The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. The site publishes Suomen Ihosairaala Oy with the business ID 2801520-4; PRH/YTJ returns the same company, on the trade register since 2016-12-15, business line 86220, registered at this address. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic pages (audit not_published); the clinic names the entity — matched by name] [prh] [site] |

SEC | 5 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three.
