General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary
Al Muraikabat / Othman Ibn Affan branch of Ram Clinics, a 35+ branch Saudi dental and dermatology chain also present in Al Khobar, Jeddah and Riyadh. The chain publishes a promotional price list in riyals and a dentist register in which every name carries the branch it belongs to.
Checked 2026-09-02: ramclinics.net publishes its dentist register with an explicit branch against every name, and the register is randomised on each page load. Fifty-one loads today surfaced 499 distinct practitioners. The three names previously recorded on this card could not be reproduced at this branch: they were replaced with names the chain's own register places here. Because the display rotates, this is a snapshot of the branch roster, not the full list — the chain states it employs 700+ doctors across 35+ branches. The card's earlier price note read "Implant packages (96-1796 SAR)"; 96 SAR is the cleaning-and-polishing offer, not an implant package — corrected.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The chain register names each dentist together with the branch they work at; twenty-one distinct dentists were surfaced at the Al Muraikabat branch across 51 page loads on 2026-09-02. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed The register states only a department per dentist ("Ram Dental", in Arabic) and no individual specialization. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Google Business Profile photo shows the branch exterior with branded signage [ram-clinics-dammam-deepen-9] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Only promotional offers seen (a National-Day countdown list of promotional prices) on 2026-09-03. Owner ruling applied: a time-limited promotion is a real, checkable figure but it is not a tariff and it expires, so it does not satisfy "a general price list or price ranges are publicly available". No standing price list is published. [s1] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed The figure previously recorded here came from a National-Day countdown list of promotional prices, not from a published price. Under the owner ruling of 2026-09-03 a promotional price for one treatment is not a published price, so this criterion is recorded as not met. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed No filling price, promotional or standing [ram-clinics-dammam-deepen-2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed The figure previously recorded here came from a National-Day countdown list of promotional prices, not from a published price. Under the owner ruling of 2026-09-03 a promotional price for one treatment is not a published price, so this criterion is recorded as not met. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed The figure previously recorded here came from a National-Day countdown list of promotional prices, not from a published price. Under the owner ruling of 2026-09-03 a promotional price for one treatment is not a published price, so this criterion is recorded as not met. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No consultation fee, promotional or standing [ram-clinics-dammam-deepen-2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No X-ray price, promotional or standing [ram-clinics-dammam-deepen-2] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
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.

| ✓ | No recurring complaints Two low-star reviews are visible and they raise different concrete issues, so no single issue repeats: a three-star from a ten-year patient saying the clinic "tr[ies] to drain the Insurance limit as quick as possible", and a two-star about appointment handling and reception staff. Both are recorded here. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session), histogram 1895/100/68/35/451 (5*->1*), checked 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The histogram keeps 451 one-star, 35 two-star, 68 three-star and 100 four-star reviews (26% of the total), and the relevance-ranked sample itself contains a three-star and a two-star. Visible dates span 1 month to 5 years; reviewers hold 1-343 reviews.
