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.

Reputation & Reviews
12 / 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, unchanged since 2026-09-02. Star histogram on the same page: 22 five-star reviews and none below. [sm] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 22 reviews, unchanged since 2026-09-02. [sm] | 1/3 |
| ✗ | Review recency Newest review rendered on the Maps place page on 2026-09-03 is dated "9 years ago"; the bucket recorded is never better than the page proves. Sample: the 8 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★: 22/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 22 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Read on the clinic's own Google listing on 2026-09-11: the practice has answered 2 of the 5 reviews shown there (21 published in total), most recently on 2022-04-04. One reply reads: "Thank you for your rating and your message! Glad you enjoyed your visit!". [sm] [gm-replies] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints None of the 8 visible reviews is negative and no concrete issue recurs. The histogram holds no non-five-star review at all. Sample: the 8 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★: 22/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 22 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Published as false with the facts stated rather than as a clean bill. Every one of the eight visible reviews is dated "9 years ago", the record is a perfect 22/0/0/0/0 with no dissent, five of the eight reviewers hold a single review, and two pairs of reviewers share a surname (Madi/Madi, Hijazi/Hijaz). Against calling it manipulation: at nine years Maps shows only the year, so no same-day or same-week burst can be demonstrated - the whole cohort could be a clinic's first year of soliciting reviews - the wording is individual, and one reviewer is a Local Guide with 29 reviews. Saying "patterns ARE present" would be an accusation this page cannot support; the reader is given the distribution instead. Sample: the 8 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★: 22/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 22 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 2/2 |
