Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Re-read the clinic's whole website and its Google listing on 2026-10-01: the website names no dentists (the booking calendar has no individual staff), but the clinic names Dr. Jumana and Dr. Sa'ad in its replies on Google and states a cleaning price from 200 riyals there; no dentist's specialty is given anywhere. |
| 2026-09-30 | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city, by its name with the area and by its phone number; none of the searches found a page of the clinic, and its website links none. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (booking, pricing, six service pages, FAQ, new-patient and treatment pages, Arabic and English) and its Google listing. Recorded: emergency care confirmed in the clinic's FAQ, 3D X-ray imaging on the new-patient page, pediatric dentistry as a category on the Google listing, six dedicated service pages, structured business data, and a genuine reception photo on the Google listing. No price for any of the six tracked services (the only figure on the site is root-canal treatment from 800 SAR). Not listed on TripAdvisor or WhatClinic. The site has no team or doctors page, so named dentists and their specializations remain unconfirmed. Still unverified: work with international patients. |
