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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | onOtherPlatforms true → false: the AdvisorLB page it rested on has no reviews of its own and nothing showing that the clinic manages it. No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no repeated complaint; no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: no business structured data. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-25). |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; LDA dentists registry did not serve its pages (HTTP 403) so all four named doctors' licenses are null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: corrected address - samaraniclinic.com lists locations in Byblos/Jbeil and Sin-El-Fil, not the stored 'Verdun Plaza, Verdun, Beirut'; the clinic's only Google Maps listing is the Byblos location (Moussa Farhat Center, Voie 13, 3rd floor), which we used as the mappable address. Stored phone (+961 3 566020) matches the site and was kept; Maps additionally shows a Byblos-specific number (+961 9 545 678). Clinic confirmed open. Captured Google rating 5.0 (339 reviews). |
