Sources & verification

Last verified 2026-07-12 · placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: TIER 2 — real, established, multi-sourced clinic (Trustpilot, Yelp, Facebook, RealSelf, filipinodoctors.org, LinkedIn = 4+ independent sources), CURRENT principals. BUT authority-body verification is WEAK: ISHRS membership is self-reported on the clinic site and Dr. Bato was NOT found in the ISHRS Find-a-Doctor directory during this pass (verified:false for all three surgeons). Reputation signal is thin/mixed — Trustpilot only 3.0 with 4 reviews (small sample). Photos for Salinas & Bato-Salinas were Instagram-post graphics (not clean portraits) so DROPPED; Dr. Bato's clean clinic team photo kept (high). Email [email protected] confirmed; phone/whatsapp not published (not guessed). Address 186 Salcedo Street, Makati from Yelp. Not a marketing-front — named surgeons, physical address, real reviews.
