Practitioners the clinic names
As listed on the clinic's site. The license column shows the number printed there, or that none is.
| Name | Role | License number shown | Training the clinic lists |

| Dr. Nalleley L. Acosta, DDS | Cosmetic dentistry, root canals, extractions | None shown |
A number shown on a clinic's site is a claim until it is looked up. Mexico's professional licenses (cédulas) are issued by the Secretaría de Educación Pública and searchable by name or number on its registry, which in our tests did not answer from connections outside Mexico. Ask the clinic for a screenshot of the registry entry, or run the search from a Mexican connection before treatment. SEP Registro Nacional de Profesionistas.
Accreditation and membership claims
Claims as the clinic states them, with where each can be checked. A logo on a website is not a listing in an accreditor's register.

How to check: membership is not publicly searchable; ask the clinic for the member number.
