Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Reputation & Reviews
17.5 / 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 2026-09-25 [vitalia-dental-khobar-deepen] | 5/6 |

| ✓ | No recurring complaints Two one-star reviews are visible and they raise different concrete issues, so no single issue repeats: an expensive Hydrafacial performed by someone the reviewer says "claimed to be a doctor", and repeated waits of two to three hours with staff the reviewer found rude. Both are recorded here. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session), histogram 224/4/2/1/17 (5*->1*), checked 2026-09-03.

Visible dates span 2-9 months; reviewers hold 1-14 reviews.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (services, devices, gift-form, appointment and blog pages, English) and its Google listing. Corrected: a patient-referral gift form was found to carry a standing, non-promotional price list for several services, so prices are recorded as published; cleaning and consultation prices are recorded from that list. No filling, crown, implant or X-ray price found. Recorded: X-ray use in the clinic's own diagnostic workflow, tooth extraction, structured business data, dedicated department pages, a Facebook page, and no listing on TripAdvisor or other review platforms. The booking channel found is a plain contact form, not a service-selecting online booking widget. Still unverified: same-day emergency care and work with international patients. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: the card's only doctor (recorded only as "Dr. Balhadad") found under his full name "Dr. Abdulrahman Balhaddad" on the clinic's own site; source added. |
| 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 224/4/2/1/17 (5*->1*), checked 2026-09-03). |
| 2026-09-03 | Google rating and review count re-read live in a browser on the Maps place page (4.7 / 248): unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading, which is therefore corroborated as a genuine live read. The gap against the March-2026 third-party copy is six months of real movement, not a stale copy. |
| 2026-09-02 | Live Google Maps re-verification (rating 4.7, 248 reviews, place URL + geo captured) and the five canonical AI-visibility search queries checked live for Khobar. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Saudi Arabia Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via vitalia-clinics.com and a business-directory profile; Google rating not independently confirmed via a live Maps page as of 2026-09-02. |
