Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary
Clínica Dental Coronado is a multi-dentist private practice on the first floor of Coronado Mall in Chame, Panamá Oeste. Multiple independent community sources and expat directories identify it as one of the two main dental practices in the Coronado beach-expat corridor. Its storefront lists general and cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and implants, crowns and bridges. Its storefront board names Dr. Manuel Chang Wong, Dra. Julia de Cano and Dr. Roderick Zorita, and an expat reviewer describes Dr. Wong as English-speaking.
Two phone numbers circulate in directories: 345-3610 (playacommunity.com) and 6931-0696 (coronado-golf.com); the clinic's Google listing gives 6317-8710, which a 2025 review says reaches a private person. The clinic has no independently confirmed official website; the Facebook page facebook.com/clinica.dentalcoronado exists but its full business details are not accessible without login. The email [email protected] appears in one directory listing but context suggests this is the submitting user's email, not a clinic contact; it was not used. Three dentists (Dr. Manuel Chang Wong, Dra. Julia de Cano, Dr. Roderick Zorita) are named on the storefront board in the photos on the clinic's Google listing. One published price for cleaning is $40, sourced from an expat reviewer quoting their experience at the clinic.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Phone changed to the number on the clinic's Google listing (+507 6317-8710); the previous number came only from a search snippet. A 2025 review says the listing's number reaches a private person, so clear contacts stay unconfirmed. |
| 2026-10-01 | Re-read the clinic's Google listing and Facebook profile and searched TripAdvisor, WhatClinic and Dental Departures on 2026-10-01: clear contacts reset to unassessed, as the listing's phone number is reported to reach a private person and the earlier value rested on search results; presence on other review platforms corrected to none found; a fourth dentist named only in search results removed from the dentist list. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's Google listing (its storefront photos) and the Facebook profile on file, which shows no public content, on 2026-09-30: dentist specializations recorded from the storefront's name board; the service list and dentist names now rest on the storefront photos, and the summary's list of treatments follows them (endodontics and digital X-ray, reported only by a directory, removed). |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist specializations listed and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews, hours, business-uploaded photos). Recorded: a genuine storefront photo with the clinic's signage and dentists' name plates; no published prices (the clinic has no website); newest review 2026-06-27; no recurring complaint theme or signs of review manipulation. Corrected: the listing's own hours show the clinic closed on weekends, replacing an older directory record of Saturday hours. One reviewer reports that the phone number shown on the Google listing is not the clinic's; the phone on this card is unchanged. Still unverified: equipment, WhatsApp contact and booking options (the Facebook page is not readable without login). |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.3, 7 reviews) and canonical place URL for Clínica Dental Coronado; identity confirmed via exact name match and Las Lajas locality (which Google Maps also assigns to Coronado Mall). |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: no website on file; a Google Maps listing named "Clínica Dental Coronado" was found (4.3 rating, 7 reviews, described near "The Village Shopping Mall"), but its area description did not clearly match the stored Coronado Mall/Local No. 14 address, so it could not be confirmed with confidence as the same clinic. No fields or criteria changed; address, phone, operating status, and rating are left unconfirmed pending a higher-confidence match. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: no website on file for this clinic, and no search result could be opened on that date either, so no independent source could be opened to reverify name, address, phone, operating status, or Google rating. Stored facts left unverified today; no changes recorded. |
