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

Reputation & Reviews
4 / 20
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 5.0 stars across 2 reviews, unchanged since 2026-09-02. [sm] | 3/6 |
| ✗ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 2 reviews, both five-star, unchanged since 2026-09-02. [sm] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Review recency Newest review rendered on the Maps place page on 2026-09-03 is dated "2 years ago"; the bucket recorded is never better than the page proves. Sample: the 2 reviews Google Maps rendered on the place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03, read in a browser, in Google's relevance order — Maps' "Sort reviews" control would not open (clicked by element reference and by a dispatched in-page click(); the menu never opened), so no newest-first ordering was available. Published star histogram 5★→1★: 2/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 2 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews The Google listing is unclaimed (it carries a "Claim this business" prompt), so no owner can reply to reviews; none of the 2 reviews read has a reply. [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen-9] [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen-4] | 0/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints The listing has only 2 reviews, too few to see a recurring complaint. [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen-9] | 0/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Only 2 Google reviews could be read for this listing (2 on the listing), fewer than the 10 needed to assess review patterns. [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen-9] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Own Facebook page found by name search [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen-6] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No listing found; no clinic site to check for a link [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen-2] [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms Not listed in WhatClinic's Lebanon directory [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen-3] [ahmad-el-zein-dental-care-clinic-deepen] | 0/0.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality measured as poor after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (no website of its own, none listed). |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Facebook page (About, services and all posts) and its Google listing: mobile number and Facebook page added to the contacts; the dentist's specializations, service list and clear contact details recorded from the Facebook page, and the dentist's name, address and the absence of a website now rest on it. Recorded: no prices are published on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist specializations listed, clear contact details, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | Found the clinic's own Facebook page by name search; name and city match the card exactly. Recorded a confirmed Facebook presence. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing, as it has no website. Recorded a genuine treatment-room photo and Saturday opening hours; confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable. The listing is unclaimed, so owner replies are not possible and its categories cannot count as the clinic's own documentation. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found; a Facebook page could not be confirmed. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (2 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 2/0/0/0/0); reviewRecency=older, responds=null(noted), complaints=null(noted), suspicious=null(noted). Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Browser spot-check: Google rating and review count re-read live on the Maps place page (5.0 / 2, unchanged). |
| 2026-09-02 | Adversarial verification: the Brave search-results citation was retired and serviceListPublished refuted — the surviving directory listing publishes no treatment list. |
| 2026-09-02 | Live Google Maps rating/review-count/geo re-verification and 5-canonical-query aiVisibility pass. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Lebanon Dental Transparency & Trust Index (Tripoli): verified via a Yandex Maps category listing and a second search-index cross-check; no phone or website found. |
