For clinics
Public methodology

Evidence before persuasion.

Bonita organizes public facts so people can ask better questions. A profile is not a recommendation, a diagnosis, or proof that a procedure is suitable.

What we check

Each published profile should identify the named clinician, the country license or registry source, relevant specialty training, the operating facility, independent review sources, public conduct information, and the date each source was checked.

  • Identity and active national registration
  • Specialty society or board evidence, shown separately from legal licensure
  • Facility name and accreditation evidence when available
  • Review source, volume, and date, without treating reviews as clinical outcomes
  • Public sanctions, restrictions, or unresolved identity conflicts

How the evidence summary works

The summary reflects the completeness and consistency of visible evidence. It is not a surgical outcome score. Missing data lowers confidence. Payment, popularity, social following, and clinic advertising do not raise a score or change organic order.

Ranking and trust scores are never for sale.
Commercial services are kept separate from verification decisions and organic search order.

What Bonita cannot tell you

Bonita cannot decide whether surgery is right for you, assess your personal risk, promise an outcome, verify every claim made in a consultation, or replace advice from a licensed clinician who knows your history.

Procedure trends grouped by sex describe survey populations. They are not biological suitability rules and never determine a ranking.

Corrections and right of reply

Patients, clinicians, facilities, and researchers can submit a correction or source challenge. Submissions enter moderation and are not published automatically. Material changes should retain an audit date and source record.

How Bonita earns money

Bonita may charge clinics for evidence preparation, audit refreshes, enhanced profile content, and clearly disclosed services. Payment cannot remove conduct information, create a verification result, change a score, or improve organic placement.

Any future sponsored placement must be fixed, clearly labeled, limited, and available only after the same verification standard as organic profiles.
