Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Reputation & Reviews
15 / 20
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-05: 99 five-star, 10 four-star, 4 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 113, matching the 113 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.841 reproduces the published 4.8. [gmp1] | 5/6 |

| ? | Clinic responds to reviews | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No repeated complaint theme appears in the visible sample. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's own site (about-us, services, contact, appointment-booking pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: no dentist is named anywhere on the site; services are described only as four generic department tiles, not itemized dental procedures, so no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray price is published; a Facebook link; no real WhatsApp contact (only a generic share-widget mention of the word); a genuine multi-step booking form with clinic, department and date/time selection; Saturday and Sunday opening hours; Organization structured data on the homepage; a genuine reception photo on the Google listing; no TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. Still unverified: equipment, specific dental procedures offered, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-05 | Checked by hand in a browser: Google Maps place page read live for rating, review count, star histogram, review recency, owner replies, complaint and manipulation reading and pin coordinates; the clinic Facebook page opened for reputation.onFacebook; the five canonical visibility queries re-run as browser SERPs. |
| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection: HeFRA facility-licence PDF (legal entity) cross-checked by district against a third-party maps listing giving the trading name and street address. No clinic-owned website/social channel or named dentist located — queued for a manual browser check. All clinic-published criteria left null. |
