MedTraveling Transparency Index

63/ 100

Moderate transparency

Key signals present; some gaps remain to verify directly.

78% of checkable signals present

This is a transparency measure — how much about VBariatric Surgical Center / Dr. Sergio Verboonen is publicly checkable — not a clinical-quality verdict. Each dimension is explained, with its limitation.

Pricing transparency

Whether prices are published, with inclusions/exclusions and how many procedures are quoted. — Published ranges are not personalised quotes.

Clinician transparency

Whether named surgeons are listed and their society memberships disclosed. — A named, credentialed surgeon is not a measure of individual skill.

Accreditation & verifiability

Whether accreditation is held and traceable to a public verification registry. — Accreditation is facility-level and time-bound — confirm currency directly.

Independent evidence

Count and diversity of independent (non-provider) sources behind the profile. — Thin coverage lowers confidence — it is not a verdict on quality.

International support

Breadth of languages supported for cross-border patients. — Stated language support is not a guarantee of service.

Outcome reporting

Whether the provider publishes any outcome or complication data. — Almost no provider reports this — its absence is itself the signal.

Independent reputation

4.8/ 5

970 reviews on Medical Departures

Reported

Patient opinion, not clinical outcome evidence — and deliberately kept out of the Transparency Index. We show the source so you can judge it yourself.

What's missing

Most platforms hide absent data. MedTraveling surfaces it — because what a provider does not disclose is often what you most need to know.
