Reputation & Reviews
10 / 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: 4.1 / 45 reviews. The 2026-09-02 figure (4.1 / 37) 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 30/5/2/1/7 (5*->1*) on the same page. [sm] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps place page, re-read in a browser. Re-read on 2026-09-03 during the reputation pass: unchanged; the star histogram on the same page sums to 45. [sm] | 1/3 |

| ? | Clinic responds to reviews Only 7 reviews dated within the last 24 months could be read, none with an owner reply; fewer than ten, so whether the owner answers reviews stays open. [alwakrah-zircon-dental-deepen-9] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | No recurring complaints Confirmed: insurance/billing-surprise complaints recur in the lowest-rated reviews [alwakrah-zircon-dental-deepen] | 0/2 |
