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
10 / 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. [sm] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 5 reviews, all five-star, unchanged since 2026-09-02. [sm] | 0.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Google Maps review list read in a browser on 2026-09-03: the newest visible review is dated "6 days ago". [sm] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews 5 reviews were read (4 from the last 24 months) and none has an owner reply, but fewer than 10 reviews from the last 24 months could be read, too few to record that the owner does not reply. [saatdjian-dental-clinics-deepen-22] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints All five reviews on the listing are visible and none is negative; no concrete issue recurs. Sample: the 5 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★: 5/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 5 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | No suspicious review patterns This is the one card in the group where the page supports the verdict. All five reviews on the listing are visible and four of them arrived inside a single week: Maps dates them "6 days ago", "a week ago", "5 days ago" and "5 days ago", each still tagged NEW, and each is five stars. The fifth and only other review on the listing is six years old. So a listing that had carried one review since 2020 gained four five-star reviews in about 48 hours. One of the four is posted by "Taline Saatjian" - the practice's own surname (Saatdjian Dental Clinics, Dr Raffi Saatdjian) - which is recorded as supporting detail, not as the finding. What this does not establish: nothing here shows the reviews were bought, and a clinic that asked its recent patients for reviews in one week would produce exactly this shape. What it does establish is the signal the methodology names first - a burst of five-star reviews - at day granularity and across 80% of the listing's lifetime record, which is why the verdict is true rather than false-with-a-caveat. Sample: the 5 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★: 5/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 5 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 0/2 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (in full), Google listing, Facebook page and Instagram: phone and Facebook page added to the contacts; the dentist's name, service list, contacts and address now rest on them, and no qualification or price list is published. Corrected: consultation price to not published, as no own channel states one. |
| 2026-09-29 | Re-checked on 2026-09-29 whether the clinic has an identifiable Facebook page: a search of Facebook found the clinic's own page under its exact name. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 5 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's own website (a single-page site found via its Google listing, not previously on file), which was rendered from its JavaScript bundle since the raw HTML is an empty shell, plus its Google listing. Corrected: the clinic does have a website. Recorded: a genuine photo of the dentist with a patient, an English-only site, a welcoming-of-international-patients statement, and short explanations for each of 6 listed services. No prices, no WhatsApp contact, no structured business data and no separate service pages are present; opening hours are weekdays only, closing at 5 PM. No TripAdvisor listing was found. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (5 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 5/0/0/0/0); responds=false, complaints=false, suspicious=true. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Browser spot-check: Google rating/review count re-read live (5.0 / 5, unchanged), reviewRecency set from the newest visible review; the shared Yelleb category-page citation replaced with this clinic’s own Yelleb listing, and the website address it publishes was tested and does not resolve. |
| 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. |
