General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Information Transparency
18 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Corrected: medic-8.com, linked from the clinic's Google listing, carries pages on its services, technologies and contacts, though other pages are unfinished templates.

| ✓ | Dentist names listed Named by the clinic itself in a reply to a Google review: Dr. Fady Yaacoub and Dr. Alain Hanna; its website names no dentist. [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-9] [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen] [s1] | 3/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed Unverified: neither the clinic's website nor its Google listing states a dentist's qualifications, and its Instagram could not be read in full. [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen] [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-9] | 0/2 |

| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone +961 3 100 708 on both the website's contact page and the clinic's Google listing; the site header still shows a template placeholder. [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-8] [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-9] [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |

Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Corrected: neither the clinic's website (all pages read; its price-list page is an unedited template) nor its Google listing publishes dental prices. [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen] [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-9] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Neither the clinic's website (all pages read) nor its Google listing publishes a cleaning price. [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen] [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-9] [gm-replies] | 0/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
18 / 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): 4.9 stars. Rating unchanged since the 2026-09-02 read. [sm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 314 reviews (313 on 2026-09-02). Star histogram published on the same page: 304 five-star, 2 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 8 one-star. [sm] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Corrected upward on 2026-09-03 from direct evidence: the Google Maps review list carries reviews dated "a month ago" and "2 months ago". The earlier "older" value came from the WhatClinic listing, whose newest review (09.04.2025) is simply older than the newest Google review. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Read on the clinic's own Google listing on 2026-09-11: the practice has answered 8 of the 8 reviews shown there (317 published in total), most recently on 2026-07-31. One reply reads: "Your feedback made our day! We’re so happy you enjoyed your experience and enjoyed the warmth of our team!". [sm] [gm-replies] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints None of the 8 visible reviews is negative and no concrete issue recurs; the owner has answered all eight. Relevance order under-represents the negative tail - the histogram holds eight one-star reviews the sample never surfaced. 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★: 304/2/0/0/8, which sums to the 314 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Examined on 2026-09-03 in a browser. Histogram 304/2/0/0/8 across 314 reviews — 8 one-star reviews stand unremoved, so the record is not a manufactured 5-star block. Sample of 10 reviews read: dates spread from 1 month to a year ago (no burst), individually worded, reviewer accounts held 1-13 reviews (2 of 10 were single-review accounts), and the owner answered 9 of 10. No sign of manipulation found. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Active Facebook presence Facebook searches found only the Medic8 page of a branch in Tanta, Egypt and another business's page at the same Kaslik address; no page of this clinic [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-6] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No listing found; no working clinic site to check for a link [medic8-clinics-jounieh-deepen-4] [gm-replies] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms WhatClinic ServiceScore 7.3/10 (14 verified reviews, 78 interactions); also listed on Yelleb (5.0, 1 review). [s1] [s2] | 0.5/0.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: no business structured data; no separate service pages. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages) and Google listing: website corrected to present, as medic-8.com carries pages on the clinic's services, technologies and contacts beside unfinished template pages, and recorded as English; website and phone added to the contacts. Service list, contacts and address now rest on these channels, and the dentists' names on the clinic's own reply to a Google review. Corrected: published prices and the implant and consultation prices to not published, and dentist specializations to unverified. |
| 2026-09-30 | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city, by its name with the country and by its address; none of the searches found a page of the clinic. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the website address listed on the clinic's Google profile (medic-8.com) currently shows only unfinished template pages and a demo news section with no information about the clinic, so the clinic is recorded as having no working website. Recorded a genuine reception-desk photo from the Google listing and confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable. No TripAdvisor presence found. Equipment, services detail and online contact channels remain unverified without a real website. |
| 2026-09-11 | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 8 of the 8 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-07-31. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (8 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 304/2/0/0/8); complaints=false. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Browser spot-check: all Google figures re-read live (4.9, review count 313 -> 314); reviewRecency corrected to within_3_months and respondsToReviews/suspiciousReviewPatterns assessed from the review list and histogram; the shared Yelleb category-page citation replaced with this clinic’s own Yelleb listing. |
| 2026-09-02 | Adversarial verification: reviewRecency corrected from within_3_months to older (the cited review is dated April 2025). |
| 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 (Jounieh): verified via WhatClinic and a Yelleb directory cross-check; clinic's own website could not be fetched (TLS error). |
