|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's cleaning, crown and implant blog/service pages (Spanish and English versions) plus its Google listing. Recorded: the blog carries general Guatemala price guides (e.g. crowns "$375 to $500") rather than the clinic's own fees, and the implant page explicitly defers to a personal quote; genuine informally-captured photos; structured business markup present. No recurring complaint theme confirmed (only one readable low-star report) and no manipulation signals found; owner-reply rate not assessable beyond a small sample of a 205-review base. No TripAdvisor presence found. Still unverified: filling and consultation/X-ray price pages, and presence on review platforms beyond WhatClinic and Facebook. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Site states general anaesthesia offered with specialized anaesthesiologists. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.9 (205 reviews), Maps URL and geo coordinates. |
