Summary
Multi-specialty family practice on Blake Road in Nassau, with a second clinic in Rock Sound, Eleuthera. Its menu includes Botox and dermal fillers, offered by a family physician with a stated aesthetic-medicine role, and cosmetic surgery offered by a visiting surgeon. Both physicians are matched by name in the Bahamas Medical Council register.

rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. Bahamas Medical Council Specialists Register: registration S1289, name ‘ROKER-DAVIS, Tonya’, specialty Family Medicine. The clinic’s profile page presents her as ‘Family Physician • Aesthetic Medicine’; the register has no aesthetic-medicine specialty and shows Family Medicine, and the clinic claims no title the register governs for the aesthetic service. read via crawler [bmc-spec] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Named on the team page and on her own profile page with her role (family physician, aesthetic medicine, Botox and dermal fillers) at the Nassau clinic whose address is published on the contact page. read via crawler [site-team] [site-roker-davis] [site-contacts] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Registered under s.26(4) and licensed under s.29(1) of the Medical Act 2014 for the period ending 31 December 2026; matched by name (registration S1289), the number is not printed on the clinic’s own pages. read via crawler [bmc-spec] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Hospitals & Health Care Facilities Licensing Board 2026 register lists ‘Family Medicine Center — Dr. Graham Cates, Blake Rose, New Providence, SC-26-257’ (also C-26-537 and D-26-715 at Queen’s Highway, Eleuthera); the facility name and the founder named on the clinic’s About page match, the register spells the street ‘Blake Rose’ for the clinic’s ‘Blake Road’. read via crawler [hhflb] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-24 | |
| 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. The clinic’s own pages name no legal entity or company form (brand name only, ‘© FAMILY MEDICINE CENTER, 2025’). Pages loaded: home, about-us, team, services, contacts, cosmetic-botox, dermatology, surgery and two physician profiles. read via crawler [site] [site-about] [site-contacts] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. The physician profiles name degrees and their issuers (MBBS, MSc and DM in Family Medicine from the University of the West Indies; International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine for Botox and dermal fillers; residency and fellowships with the institutions named) but publish no licence, registration or facility number. read via crawler [site-roker-davis] [site-higgins] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. A patient-satisfaction figure on the Botox page, alongside a non-absolute safety label (‘QUICK • SAFE • EFFECTIVE • NATURAL RESULTS’) and superlatives on the surgery and surgeon pages (‘Trusted Surgeons. Proven Results.’). No unconditional future guarantee of safety or result found. Pages scanned: home, about-us, team, services, contacts, cosmetic-botox, dermatology, surgery, tonya-roker-davis, jonathan-higgins. read via crawler [site-botox] [site-surgery] [site-higgins] 97% of patients surveyed were satisfied with the results. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-24 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 24 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-24 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. One of the five document classes is published: side effects are set out under their own FAQ headings on the Botox and dermal fillers page (‘Will I experience side effects?’, ‘Are there any serious side effects?’). No consent document, aftercare instructions, revision policy or labelled complaint route found; the contact page offers a general feedback form. Pages loaded as listed for M7. read via crawler [site-botox] [site-contacts] |

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.
