| Fecha | Objeto | Cambio |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | onOtherPlatforms: false -> true. The clinic has its own page on Guías Médica, a Panamanian medical directory with patient reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | Clínica Dental Life | Other review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: no profile of the clinic. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: the clinic has a WhatClinic profile (Odontologicas Specialties Clinic, with Dr Luz Magalys Serrano), so presence on other review platforms is now marked yes. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica Dental Chiriquí | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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 | Clínica Dental Dra. Khristel Gutiérrez | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | Searched TripAdvisor, WhatClinic and Dental Departures and re-read its MiCita booking profile on 2026-10-01: presence on other review platforms corrected to none found - the booking profile and business directories recorded earlier carry no reviews. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Re-read the clinic's website clinicaford.com on 2026-10-01: it carries schema.org structured data, says each periodontal case is assessed with radiographs, and its implant page gives an indicative cost of 1700-1800 for a complete implant treatment, so all three are now recorded. |
| 2026-10-01 | Odonto Smile Clinic | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-10-01 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Re-read the clinic's Facebook pages and Google listing and searched TripAdvisor, WhatClinic and Dental Departures on 2026-10-01: presence on other review platforms corrected to none found; the Instagram and travel-app listings recorded earlier are not review platforms. |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | Re-read the clinic's website, its Google listing and the Facebook page on file on 2026-09-30: address corrected to the new premises in Doleguita (Calle H Norte) announced on the clinic's Google listing, replacing a directory's Avenida Obaldía; the Facebook page on file belongs to a clinic in Costa Rica, so it is unlinked and presence on Facebook is now unverified. |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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). |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Dental Dra. Khristel Gutiérrez | Re-read the clinic's Google listing and its Facebook page (every post of the past year) on 2026-09-30: dentist specializations recorded from a Facebook post presenting its periodontist and implantologist; the service list and the absence of an English website version now rest on these channels. |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur | Searched Facebook for the clinic by the dentist's name with the city, by the dentist's name and by its phone number; none of the searches found a page of the clinic. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur | Re-read the clinic's Google listing and its Instagram profile on 2026-09-30: dentist specializations and published prices now unverified, as the Google listing is not managed by the clinic and its Instagram posts could not be read (the earlier values rested on a local directory). |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur | Read the clinic's Instagram on 2026-09-30: it has posted nothing since May 2019, so, with no website, no Facebook page and no prices or treatment list on its Google listing, no price and no service list are published anywhere the clinic runs itself; the dentist's title is given only as dental surgeon. |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | Re-read the clinic's Facebook page (every post of the past year) on 2026-09-30, with its website as read on 2026-09-25 and 2026-09-29: published prices and the implant price corrected to not published, as neither the website nor the Facebook page gives a price (the earlier values rested on a booking platform's sample prices); dentist names now rest on the website's specialists page and the Facebook posts. |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Orthomed | Re-read the clinic's Google listing and its Facebook page (every post of the past year) on 2026-09-30: the service list and the absence of an English website version now rest on these channels; prices recorded - no standing price list, cleaning figures only in dated promotions, and a free examination for children offered in September 2026. |
| 2026-09-30 | Pacific Dental Clinic | 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. |
| 2026-09-30 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Re-read the clinic's Instagram account and its two Facebook pages on 2026-09-30: published prices and the cleaning price now unverified, as the $30/$20 cleaning prices come only from a 2012 community article and none of the clinic's channels shows them; dentist name and service list now rest on its Instagram, and the dentist's specialization in aesthetic dentistry is recorded from it. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica de Arte Dental | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29 after reading the clinic's website (home, services, about, contact and promotions pages) and its Google listing (newest, lowest and Spanish-language reviews). Recorded a named dentist with a genuine homepage photo, a six-item dental service list plus a general-medicine line, panoramic X-ray, a WhatsApp channel, and a 4.9 rating from 28 reviews with no recurring complaints. No standing price list was found, only time-limited promotional pricing for cleanings and fillings. Still unverified: a Facebook page, CBCT imaging, emergency care, sedation, work with international patients and whether the clinic currently answers reviews. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Dental Chiriquí | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-05-04). |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Dental Dra. Khristel Gutiérrez | 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. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | Read the website's specialists page. Recorded that the staff photo shown is the clinic's own named specialist, not stock imagery. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Dental Life | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-08-18). |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | The clinic's website opened normally on 2026-09-29 and was read in full: it carries no TripAdvisor link, and a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Read the clinic's website on 2026-09-29. Recorded: every "Schedule an appointment" button opens a WhatsApp chat pre-filled with an appointment request. Still unverified: X-ray, CBCT and structured data. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Orthomed | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices 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; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-07-31). |
| 2026-09-29 | Dental One | Found the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-09-29 via a name search - its published address and phone match the card exactly. |
| 2026-09-29 | Dentologic Panamá | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices 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. |
| 2026-09-29 | Odonto Advance Panamá | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29 after reading the clinic's website (home, clinic, specialist, treatments, contact and one blog post) and its Google listing (newest, lowest and Spanish-language reviews). Recorded a named endodontics specialist with a university degree and postgraduate training, apical surgery and complex root-canal retreatment under surgical microscopes and three-dimensional imaging, digital X-ray, English spoken per the clinic's own language list, a WhatsApp booking channel, a Facebook page embedded on the site, and a 4.7 rating from 41 reviews. Two independent low-rated reviews describe lasting pain after a root-canal treatment. No price list was found on any page. Still unverified: cone-beam CT, implants, orthodontics, pediatric and emergency care, and work with international patients. |
| 2026-09-29 | Odonto Smile Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4.9 (was 4.8) and review count 32 (was 20) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-25); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-23). |
| 2026-09-29 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 4 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; dentist specializations listed and the filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Read the clinic's own Instagram (bio, highlights and feed). Recorded genuine photos of the clinic's named dentist; no premises-interior photos were seen, only doctor portraits used in the clinic's posts. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (home and contact pages, plus structured data) and its Google listing (five newest and five lowest-rated reviews). Recorded: a genuine team photo in a treatment room; Organization structured data on the site; the contact page is a plain name/email/message form with no appointment-time booking; only one service (cosmetic dentistry) has its own dedicated page; no signs of review manipulation or a recurring complaint theme. Still unverified: on-site equipment (X-ray, CBCT) and whether oral surgery or same-day emergency care are offered (not described on the pages read). |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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). |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Dental Dra. Khristel Gutiérrez | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (newest, lowest-rated and most relevant reviews, hours, photo strip) and TripAdvisor's own search. Recorded: newest review from 2026-07-31; no signs of review manipulation or a recurring complaint theme; no TripAdvisor listing; no published prices (the clinic has no website, and its Google listing lists none). Corrected: the listing's own hours show Saturday opening (9:00-13:00), so weekend hours are now recorded as available. Still unverified: whether the clinic replies to reviews, its equipment, and emergency or pediatric care (Instagram and Facebook are not readable without login). |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (five newest and five lowest-rated reviews, hours) and its GBP price content. Recorded: no treatment prices on the unclaimed Google listing (no website exists), so owner replies are not possible; no signs of review manipulation; Saturday morning hours are published. Still unverified: whether the clinic has an active Facebook page, and its equipment or full service list (no website or readable social channel to check). |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (home, procedures and dental-tourism pages, plus its structured data) and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews). Recorded: digital X-ray and maxillofacial surgery on the procedures page; a dental-tourism programme for international patients; no business entity in the site's structured data; all treatments are sections of one page rather than separate pages; no price figures on the pages read; the owner replies to recent reviews; Google 4.5 from 40 reviews, newest 2026-09-15. Corrected: low-rated reviews repeatedly describe inflated treatment costs and problems with crowns, so a recurring-complaints pattern is now recorded (previously marked as none found). Still unverified: genuine premises or team photos, same-day emergency care, and whether staff speak English. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Dental Life | 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 | Clínica Dental Life | Search visibility checked for the five standard Panama City queries (reusing the 2026-09-25 run recorded for this city): not present for any of the five queries. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Dental Obarrio | Search visibility checked for the five standard Panama City queries (reusing the 2026-09-25 run recorded for this city): not present for any of the five queries. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews, hours, photos); the clinic's own site (clinicaford.com) showed a security challenge on every attempt that day, including as text, so it could not be read. Recorded from the Google listing: genuine treatment-room and reception photos; the owner replies personally to reviews, including negative ones; at least two independent reviews describe being charged more than the price quoted; weekday-only hours with no evening or weekend opening. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment, online booking, structured data and TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five standard Panama City, Panama queries: present for "dental implants Panama City, Panama"; not present for "best dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "English speaking dentist Panama City, Panama", "emergency dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "Panama City, Panama dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Dental One | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (English homepage) and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews, hours). Recorded: the owner replies to most reviews, including critical ones; at least two independent reviews describe long waits despite arriving on time for a booked appointment; the homepage inquiry form lets patients select specific treatments; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: Facebook presence, on-site X-ray/CBCT and emergency care (not described on the pages read). |
| 2026-09-25 | Dental One | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five standard Panama City, Panama queries: not present for "best dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "English speaking dentist Panama City, Panama", "dental implants Panama City, Panama", "emergency dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "Panama City, Panama dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Dentologic Panamá | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (home, technology, general-dentistry, about-us and contact pages) and its Google listing (one review, hours). Recorded: a panoramic X-ray unit on the technology page; a genuine photo of the founding dentist on the homepage; Dentist/Organization structured data on the site; Saturday morning hours; the owner replied to the listing's only review. Still unverified: whether the guided implant surgery described on the site uses 3D (CBCT) imaging at the clinic, same-day emergency care, English-speaking staff and international-patient services. |
| 2026-09-25 | Pacific Dental Clinic | 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. |
| 2026-09-25 | Pacific Dental Clinic | 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 | Pacific Dental Clinic | 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 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (four reviews) and its former website address. Recorded: the listing is unclaimed, so owner replies are not possible; newest review 2026-08-12; no published prices for fillings, crowns, implants, consultations or X-rays. Corrected: the former domain vialdental.com now shows an unrelated company's site with no clinic content, so it is no longer cited or linked as the clinic's website. Still unverified: equipment, opening hours and premises photos (Facebook and Instagram are not readable without login; the review base is too small to assess complaint or manipulation patterns). |
| 2026-09-10 | Clínica Dental Chiriquí | 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). |
| 2026-09-10 | Clínica Dental Obarrio | Twin parity (panama-dental / panamacity-dental publish the same clinic): this card listed the seven dentists named on the clinic's English homepage, while the twin card listed the fourteen named on the clinic's own specialists page. That page was re-read in full on 2026-09-10 and names exactly those fourteen and no one else, so the seven missing dentists are added here with the specializations the twin records. No licence number is claimed for any of them: all fourteen rows are unchecked on both cards, and Panama publishes no open dentist register. |
| 2026-09-10 | Dentologic Panamá | Website https://dentologicpanama.com/ has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |
| 2026-09-10 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | contacts.website held the non-URL placeholder "dead" (not a live link); a Google Maps search on 2026-09-10 found no verifiable live replacement (clinic name/phone match required); cleared to null. |
| 2026-09-07 | Metodología v1.4.0 | Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list. |
| 2026-09-03 | Metodología v1.3.1 | Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live; PHONE CORRECTED to +507 775-8191 (from stored +507 777-4887), consistent across the site's header and footer; the site also lists a mobile/WhatsApp number +507 6611-1939. The site did not display a full street address to cross-check, so the stored address is left unchanged. No Google Maps link found on the site and no citable Maps place URL located for a rating. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.6, 11 reviews) and canonical place URL for Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio, David. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Chiriquí | 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Chiriquí | 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 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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 | Clínica Dental Dra. Khristel Gutiérrez | Re-verification 2026-08-26: no website on file; confirmed address unchanged and clinic open via a Google Maps listing for this exact clinic name at Vía Boquete, Bajo Boquete. PHONE CORRECTED to +507 6764-1662 per that listing (stored +507 720-1018 not seen). A 4.6 rating was visible on the same snippet but had no citable place URL or review count, so was not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Dra. Khristel Gutiérrez | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured genuine Google rating (4.6, 15 reviews) and canonical place URL, replacing the previously-recorded unverified snippet estimate of 4.3. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur | Re-verification 2026-08-26: no website on file; confirmed address unchanged (Av. A Este, Bajo Boquete) and clinic open via a Google Maps listing for this exact clinic name. PHONE CORRECTED to +507 6748-0006 per that listing (stored +507 720-1152 not seen). A 4.8 rating was visible on the same snippet but had no citable place URL or review count, so was not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.8, 13 reviews) and canonical place URL for Clínica Dental Dra. Mónica Sanjur. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | Re-verification 2026-08-26: WEBSITE DEAD/HIJACKED — stored clinicadentalhalphen.com now serves an unrelated Indonesian-language online-gambling site, confirmed via two fetch attempts. Found and confirmed the clinic's current site at https://halphendental.com/ (matching name, area — Av. 2a Oeste, David/Doleguita, Chiriquí — and services); its Google Maps listing (which names this same new domain, plus a second domain clinicahalphen.com.pa that did not resolve) confirms the clinic open. PHONE CORRECTED to +507 6071-7500 (from stored +507 775-3344), consistent on both the new site and its Maps listing. A 4.4 rating was visible on the Maps search snippet but lacked a citable place URL, so was not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.4, 38 reviews) and canonical place URL for Halphen Clinica, matched against a same-address duplicate/related profile via exact website+phone identity. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Life | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live and phone unchanged; ADDRESS CORRECTED from stored "Vía España, Edificio Plaza Regency, Piso 9, Panama City (branch in Costa del Este)" to "Torre Palmeras, Consultorios Town Center, Piso 5, Consultorio 543, Costa del Este, Panamá" — the site now shows only this single Costa del Este location, with no mention of a Vía España/Plaza Regency address. A 4.8 rating was visible on a Google Maps search snippet but no citable place URL, review count, or coordinates could be obtained (no maps link found on the site; direct place-page fetches did not render), so it was not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Life | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.8, 35 reviews) and canonical place URL; address on listing matches clinic's stored Costa del Este address. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Obarrio | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live and address unchanged; PHONE CORRECTED to +507 6747-9111 (matches the site's call button and the Google Maps listing; stored landline +507 263-0200 no longer appears on the site) — the site's WhatsApp number +507 6503-5267 was also seen but not used as the primary phone; captured first Google rating 4.8 (24 reviews) with coordinates and canonical Maps place URL, obtained by resolving the clinic's own maps.app.goo.gl short link. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, not permanently closed; captured first Google rating 4.8 (review count not visible on this render) with coordinates and canonical Maps place URL, obtained by resolving the clinic's own maps.app.goo.gl short link. Also noted the site separately lists the Costa del Este branch via a direct maps cid link (cid=11771662021544553704), not used here since the Marbella location is the primary stored address. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: filled in the previously-missing review count (82) for the already-stored 4.8 rating; same place ID as the clinic's existing Maps URL, confirming identity. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Orthomed | Re-verified live facts (contacts, operating status): no changes. A 3.8 rating was visible on a Google Maps search snippet but had no citable place URL or review count, so was not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Orthomed | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured genuine Google rating (3.8, 12 reviews) and canonical place URL for Clínica Orthomed (sucursal 2), replacing the previously-noted non-comparable Cybo score. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental One | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. A 4.8 rating was visible on a Google Maps search snippet and the site's Waze link could not be resolved to real coordinates (returned a generic fallback location), so no rating or geo data could be recorded with a valid citable source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental One | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.8, 105 reviews) and canonical place URL for Dental One, Town Center Costa del Este. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentologic Panamá | Re-verification 2026-08-26: the clinic's own website (dentologicpanama.com) returned HTTP 503 with an "undergoing maintenance for an extended period" notice today — treated as temporarily down rather than dead, since its Google Maps listing still names this same domain as the official website and shows the clinic open with an unchanged phone (+507 6411-6758). A 5.0 rating was visible on the Maps search snippet but lacked a citable place URL, so was not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentologic Panamá | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 3 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://dentologicpanama.com/]: https://dentologicpanama.com/ (attempt1: HTTP 503; attempt2 (+30s): HTTP 503, other->stable-dead on recheck) | s2 [https://dentologicpanama.com/nosotros/]: https://dentologicpanama.com/nosotros/ (attempt1: HTTP 503; attempt2 (+30s): HTTP 503, other->stable-dead on recheck) | s3 [https://dentologicpanama.com/tratamientos/]: https://dentologicpanama.com/tratamientos/ (attempt1: HTTP 503; attempt2 (+30s): HTTP 503, other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentologic Panamá | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: dentologicpanama.com (s1/s2/s3, all subpages) re-verified genuinely dead (HTTP 503, checked twice). Wayback Machine snapshots of all three pages (homepage 2026-05-17, nosotros 2026-03-15, tratamientos 2026-05-17) were read directly (a same-attempt fetch of the exact homepage snapshot URL failed twice before succeeding on a third try with a longer timeout - transient, not a dead snapshot) - content confirmed to still support essentially every stored value; 19 criteria facts re-cited, no value changes except englishVersion (already false, reconfirmed) and the 6 price-listed facts (already false, reconfirmed with the correct live source instead of the dead one). Added the nosotros snapshot as a corroborating source on both doctors (s1/s2/s3 stay listed too and other facts still cite them). Not pruned. |
| 2026-08-26 | Odonto Smile Clinic | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. A 4.8 rating was visible on a Google Maps search snippet but no citable place URL, review count, or coordinates could be obtained (no maps link found on the site), so it was not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | Odonto Smile Clinic | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured genuine Google rating (4.8, 20 reviews) and canonical place URL for Odonto-Smile Clinic, replacing the previously-recorded non-Google directory estimate. |
| 2026-08-26 | Pacific Dental Clinic | 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | Pacific Dental Clinic | 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 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-26: WEBSITE DEAD — vialdental.com no longer resolves (DNS failure, confirmed via two independent checks); no successor site was found, and no search could be run that day. Google Maps listing confirms phone +507 345-4622 unchanged and the clinic open. A 5.0 rating and approximate coordinates (~8.544,-79.913) were visible on a Maps search snippet but lacked a citable place URL, so were not recorded. |
| 2026-08-26 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (5.0, 4 reviews) and canonical place URL for the exact-name match 'Vial Centro Médico Dental', distinguished from a nearby differently-named duplicate profile 'Clinica Vial, Coronado'. |
| 2026-08-26 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://vialdental.com/]: https://vialdental.com/ (getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND vialdental.com, rotten) |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live with current hours (Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 8:30am-12pm). Phone corrected — stored +507 777-4887 does not appear anywhere on the live site; the site lists +507 775-8191 (office) and +507 6611-1939 (mobile) instead. No street address is published on the site, so the stored address could not be reconfirmed. 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 | Clínica Dental Chiriquí | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Chiriquí | 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 | Clínica Dental Coronado | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Dra. Khristel Gutiérrez | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Dra.

| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Especializada Halphen | Re-verification 2026-08-25: stored website https://clinicadentalhalphen.com/ no longer serves clinic content — the domain now hosts unrelated online-gambling promotional material ('CLICKBET88' slot/bonus content), indicating the domain has lapsed or been repurposed by a third party. No successor site could be identified — no search could be run that day — and no Google Maps link could be located. Stored address/phone/rating could not be reverified today; operating status unclear pending a later recheck. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Life | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live with current hours (Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 8am-1pm). Address changed — the site now lists only a single Costa del Este location (Torre Palmeras, Consultorios Town Center, Piso 5, Consultorio 543); the previously stored Vía España / Edificio Plaza Regency address is no longer mentioned anywhere on the site. Phone confirmed unchanged (+507 388-7150); an additional WhatsApp number +507 6130-4046 is also listed. No Google Maps link was found on the site, and no search could be run that day, so rating/review data could not be captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Obarrio | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dedicated page: conscious sedation only, patient 'despierto y cooperativo'; explicitly contrasted with anestesia general. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Obarrio | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live, address unchanged. Phone corrected — stored +507 263-0200 no longer appears anywhere on the live site or its Google Maps listing; the site's own call button and its Google Maps profile both show +507 6747-9111 (a WhatsApp number +507 6503-5267 is also listed separately). Captured Google rating 4.8 (review count not recorded at the time) and pin coordinates; Maps listing shows the clinic currently open. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Obarrio | Carried over from this clinic's Panama City card: reviewed a score-accuracy report submitted by the clinic on 2026-08-15 via the report-error form. Finding: the published score was computed correctly under the open methodology, but two categories (reputation & reviews; search/AI visibility — 30 of 100 weight points) had not been collected for any Panama card at that time. On 2026-08-25 reputation data was re-verified for this site's cards and this card's current Google rating, pin coordinates and updated phone number were recorded; the published score now reflects the added data. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Wisdom-tooth page states only local anesthesia or conscious sedation depending on case. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Ford (Ford Dental Spa) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live, both branch addresses and shared phone (+507 223-4742) unchanged. Captured Google rating 4.8 for the primary Marbella location (review count not visible via a copy) and its pin coordinates; the separate Costa del Este branch listing shows its own 4.9 rating on Google Maps, noted here but not recorded as the clinic's primary value. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Orthomed | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Orthomed | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental One | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Wisdom-teeth page: IV sedation with anesthesiologist, patient 'profundamente dormido', post-op amnesia. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental One | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Site is live with current hours; address and phone match stored data. The site links to Waze (not Google Maps) for directions, and no search could be run that day, so a Google Maps listing could not be located and rating/geo were not captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentologic Panamá | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentologic Panamá | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live, address and phone unchanged. Captured Google rating 5.0 (review count not visible via a copy) and pin coordinates from the site's own Google Maps link; Maps listing shows the clinic currently open. |
| 2026-08-25 | Metodología v1.3.0 | Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed. |
| 2026-08-25 | Odonto Smile Clinic | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Odonto Smile Clinic | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Site live with current hours (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm); address and phone match stored data. 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 | Pacific Dental Clinic | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | VIAL Centro Médico Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: stored website https://vialdental.com/ fails to resolve at all (getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND, both bare and www variants) — the domain is dead. No successor site could be identified — no search could be run that day — and no Google Maps link could be located from any other source. Address/phone/operating status could not be reverified today; flagged for a later recheck. |
| 2026-08-23 | Metodología v1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
