Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-05-04). |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: all 6 previously no-match dentists confirmed via the clinic's own "Nosotros" page (https://clinicadentalchiriqui.com/nosotros/), a lazy-loaded-image page the original A-1/A-2 homepage-only read did not capture. Source added per doctor; license values left exactly as on record (all null). |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (3.8, 10 reviews) and canonical place URL for Clínica Dental Chiriquí, David. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status, Google reputation): no changes. Site also lists an additional mobile number (+507 6673-9910) alongside the unchanged main line. No Google Maps link found on the site, and a Maps search for the clinic did not render usable rating details, so no rating/coordinates were captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Site live with active booking forms; address and phone (+507 775-2689) unchanged. An additional mobile number +507 6673-9910 is also listed. No Google Maps link found on the site, and no search could be run that day, so rating/geo were not captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |
| 2026-08-18 | Imported from the city-tier dataset. |
