Mery Álvarez Medicina Estética
Verification pending: less of the axis weight is sourced than the threshold requires, so no score is published yet.
Status: verification pending · last checked 29 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Multi-location aesthetic-medicine clinic operating since 1999 with sites in Medellín and Rionegro. The founding physician is named on the Spanish front; the English front does not name a physician and adds unsourced leadership superlatives. The operating facility is found in the national facility registry and the operating company is found active in the national commercial registry, with the founder matching the registered legal representative.
