Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2026-01-24 to 2026-10-01; 4.4 from 1775): recurring complaints true. |
| 2026-09-29 | Facebook presence re-checked directly on Facebook (no link on the clinic's site): a page under the clinic's exact name and matching address was found. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 223 of 1770 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (services, twelve treatment pages, offers, booking, team and news, Arabic) and its Google listing. Recorded: dedicated treatment pages, an online booking form with a specialty selector, a free consultation stated by the clinic, structured business data, and a genuine reception photo (with wall-mounted licenses) on the Google listing. No price figures for cleaning, fillings, crowns, implants or X-rays (free imaging appears only as an online-booking offer). Not listed on TripAdvisor or WhatClinic. Still unverified: a Facebook presence, X-ray/CBCT equipment, and work with international patients. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10 (N-R2): the clinic’s own Arabic team page was re-read on 2026-09-10 and names seven people, none of them Dr. Khaled Al-Khudairi. Saudi Arabia’s only national practitioner register is gated to a private identifier and cannot be searched by name, so there is no second independent check and the entry is left unchanged. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 4 of 5 doctors found named in Arabic on the clinic's own team page (fetched but not text-matched earlier); 1 remaining doctor (Khaled Al-Khudairi) is not on this page and is logged separately as a removal candidate. |
| 2026-09-03 | reputation block assessed from live Maps: reviewRecency=within_3_months, respondsToReviews=true, recurringComplaints=false, suspiciousReviewPatterns=false (8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session), histogram 1422/64/20/21/223 (5*->1*), checked 2026-09-03). |
| 2026-09-02 | Live Google Maps re-verification (rating 4.4, 1750 reviews, place URL + geo captured) and the five canonical AI-visibility search queries checked live for Riyadh. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Saudi Arabia Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via dimadental.com.sa and a business-directory profile; Google rating not independently confirmed via a live Maps page as of 2026-09-02. |
