General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

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

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no repeated complaint; no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked for the five standard Panama City queries (reusing the 2026-09-25 run recorded for this city): not present for any of the five queries. |
| 2026-09-01 | Re-read of the clinic's own website following its 2026-08-15 report: emergency dental care page verified (Spanish only) — emergency care recorded; conscious-sedation page recorded (Spanish only; no general anaesthesia / deep sedation); specialists page lists 14 named dentists — 7 added to the card (was 7); structured data recorded as present on the homepage (Dentist/Organization JSON-LD), noting it carries no telephone/address and states opening hours (Mo–Su 09:00–17:00) that contradict the visible hours. The English version of the site does not carry the emergency or sedation pages. No licence numbers published for any dentist; prices remain unpublished. |
| 2026-08-25 | Reviewed a score-accuracy report submitted by the clinic on 2026-08-15 via the site's report-error form. Finding: the published score was computed correctly under the open methodology, but two categories (reputation & reviews; search/AI visibility — 30 of 100 weight points) had not been collected for any Panama City clinic at that time. On 2026-08-25 reputation data was re-verified and recorded for all 16 listed clinics, including this card's current Google rating and review count; the published score now reflects the added data. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: address confirmed unchanged; official site (dentalobarrio.com) lists phone +507 6503-5267, differing from stored +507 263-0200 (Google Maps shows a third number, +507 6747-9111) - corrected to site-confirmed number; captured rating 4.8 (24 reviews); no sedation info on site. |
