Reputation & Reviews
14 / 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) As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps place page, re-read in a browser: 4.6 / 56 reviews. The 2026-09-02 figure (4.6 / 48) was not a live read - it matched a March-2026 third-party copy of the same listing to the decimal. Re-read on 2026-09-03 during the reputation pass: unchanged; the published figure reproduces from the star histogram 47/4/0/0/5 (5*->1*) on the same page. [sm] | 4/6 |

| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-19). |

Recorded: a working website, premises photos, per-procedure service pages, an English site, Facebook and WhatsApp links, a free consultation, digital X-rays and 3D imaging, implants, surgical extractions, emergency appointments, Dentist and MedicalClinic structured data, a WhatClinic profile, opening on Saturdays; no treatment prices published; not on TripAdvisor.
