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 |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's website (in full), its Google listing, its Facebook page and its newest Instagram posts on 2026-09-30: English website version corrected to absent, as the site is in Spanish only, and WhatsApp contact corrected to available, as the site books through a WhatsApp chat (the earlier values rested on an aggregator listing); dentists and their fields updated to the six the website names; prices recorded as not published on any of these channels. |
| 2026-09-25 | Aligned with the clinic's entry on panamacitydentalrating.com: recorded Review recency (within_3_months) from sources read on 2026-08-25. |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five standard Panama City, Panama queries: present for "best dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "English speaking dentist Panama City, Panama"; not present for "dental implants Panama City, Panama", "emergency dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "Panama City, Panama dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's site (a single-page app, read from its script) and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews, photos). Recorded: genuine staff and treatment-room photos on the Google listing; pediatric dentistry by a named specialist; the owner replies to reviews in several languages; no recurring complaints; Google 4.8 from 16 reviews; booking through a WhatsApp chat or a general contact form, not a service-selection form; no structured data; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: X-ray and CBCT equipment (not described on the site) and whether a cluster of reviews in October 2025 reflects ordinary patient feedback. |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.7, 14 reviews) and canonical place URL for Pacific Dental Clinic; matched by name+website against a same-name Hospital Punta Pacifica-area search that also surfaced several unrelated results. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed the site is live and on-topic for Pacific Dental Clinic, but the fetched render did not expose address, phone, or a maps link (a /contact path returned nothing), so those could not be independently confirmed or corrected this visit. A Google Maps search snippet showed a 4.7 rating and an active-looking listing, but no citable place URL, review count, or coordinates could be obtained, so nothing was recorded. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site is live (navigation, services page, and media all load), but its address, phone, and contact section appear to be client-side rendered and could not be extracted, and no Google Maps link was found on the page. Stored address/phone could not be reconfirmed or contradicted today; operating status unclear; rating/geo not captured, no search being available that day. |
