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.
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: Dentistas.net.br page at the clinic's address and phone, with 2 reviews; the datum previously rested on the clinic's own site. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-21). |
| 2026-09-17 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the standard Rio de Janeiro queries: not present for "best dentist Rio de Janeiro", "English speaking dentist Rio de Janeiro", "dental implants Rio de Janeiro", "emergency dentist Rio de Janeiro" and "Rio de Janeiro dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's site (7 dedicated treatment pages) and its Google listing (5 most-relevant reviews). Recorded: owner replies to all 5 read reviews including a negative one, no signs of manipulation, and JSON-LD that describes pages and breadcrumbs only, without clinic-level markup. Left open: recurring-complaint theme (share of 1-2 star reviews is 11.7% but only one was readable), CBCT disclosure, English/foreign-patient documentation beyond a single tourist review. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live, address, and landline phone unchanged (site lists (21) 3154-2000/3798-7177; Google also shows an alternate WhatsApp number, not treated as a correction); open on Google. Rating up slightly from stored 4.4 to 4.5; review count up from 145 to 152. Captured Maps place URL and pin coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed site live, name/address/phone unchanged (page last showed an update from Jan 2023 but contact details are current and match stored values); site's maps.app.goo.gl link confirmed working and resolves to a Google listing named for this clinic at this address, recorded as googleMapsUrl. That redirect exposed no @lat,lng, so geo left unset. Rating/review count did not return readable content. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: re-checking the clinic's own official site surfaced a clinic-level 'EPAO 2552' registration that the original collection missed; clinicLicense updated from null to found. |
