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 |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Checked the review pattern: the rating is almost unanimously 5-star, and most of the recent reviews read come from accounts with very little review activity. Recorded: signs of manipulation confirmed. |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five standard Panama City, Panama queries: present for "best dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama"; not present for "English speaking dentist Panama City, Panama", "dental implants Panama City, Panama", "emergency dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "Panama City, Panama dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (homepage) and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews, hours), plus the WhatClinic Panama City directory. Recorded: the owner replies to reviews consistently, including in English; no recurring complaint pattern (one 1-2-star review out of 575); a homepage testimonial and independent English-language reviews document English-speaking staff; the booking form lets patients choose a doctor; a WhatClinic profile; Organization structured data; no weekend or evening hours; no TripAdvisor listing (Panama City, Florida results excluded). Still unverified: emergency care, work with foreign patients, and whether the near-uniform five-star pattern (571 of 575) reflects ordinary patient feedback. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. In-house partner 'Sedarte Panama' + maxillofacial surgeon provide pediatric sedation; posts cite 'anestesia general'. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: official website themouthclinic.com is down (Bluehost account-suspended page); address/phone confirmed unchanged via Google Business listing, very active (rating 5.0, 559 reviews, owner post Aug 9 2026); clinic partners with in-house 'Sedarte Panama' offering pediatric sedation/anesthesiology. |
