Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic website (homepage, sitemap and service pages): no structured data found; separate service pages found. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: WhatClinic profile with 48 reviews, as on the Rio de Janeiro site; 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 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live, Ipanema address and phone unchanged; also confirmed Tijuca and Barra da Tijuca units still listed, consistent with stored note. Open on Google as "Rowan Vilar Dentist in Ipanema Rio de Janeiro". Captured first Google rating/review data (4.9, 111 reviews) plus Maps place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed site live, Ipanema address/phone unchanged; also lists Tijuca (Rua Conde de Bonfim, 120 Sala 901) and Barra da Tijuca units, consistent with stored note of additional units — primary address left unchanged. The site's g.page link for the Ipanema unit resolved to a Google-search redirect exposing the place's CID, recorded as a maps.google.com/?cid= URL. No coordinates were exposed by that redirect, so geo left unset. Rating/review count did not return readable content. |
