2026-10-07Methodology v1.4.1Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes.

2026-10-01Dental Health & Implant Center (DHIC)Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: Doctoralia clinic profile with 1 patient review.
2026-10-01DentalerOther platforms set to yes: the clinic has a WhatClinic profile at its Zapopan address, without reviews (checked 2026-10-01).
2026-10-01Dentalia Guadalajara (Midtown Jalisco)Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the Midtown branch on Doctoralia, WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; onOtherPlatforms set to false.
2026-10-01La Clínica Dental (Guadalajara)Other platforms set to yes: Dental Departures lists the clinic as Dental Live at its address with Dr. Pablo Quaiotti, 5.0 from 3 reviews (checked 2026-10-01).
2026-10-01Ortodoncia GuadalajaraOther platforms set to yes: Doctoralia has a page for Ortodoncia Guadalajara and a profile of its orthodontist Dra. Lambertiny Padilla, both without reviews (checked 2026-10-01).
2026-09-30Odontología Especializada GDL (Dra. Elisabeth Piccirillo)Searched Facebook directly by the treating dentist's name, the clinic's name, and its phone number; none of the three searches returned a page for this practice. Recorded absence on Facebook.
2026-09-30Ortodoncia GuadalajaraThe clinic's earlier Facebook page is no longer available; a search by name and address found its current page, with recent posts and a booking button. That page still links the clinic's former domain, which now shows a parking page, so the clinic still has no working website. Updated the card's Facebook link.
2026-09-30Ortodoncia GuadalajaraRe-checked on 2026-09-30 through the clinic's Facebook page (contact details and posts) and its Google listing. Recorded from the Facebook posts: the two orthodontists who run the practice, named with their specialty, and orthodontic treatment with braces and aligners. Corrected: WhatsApp availability is now unverified, since the Facebook page and the Google listing give a mobile and a landline number without naming WhatsApp and the former website that did now shows a parking page; the WhatsApp entry was removed from the contact details. Clear service explanations are now unverified, since they rested only on the former website.
2026-09-29Ortodoncia GuadalajaraCorrected 2026-09-29: the former website address gdlortodoncia.com, which now shows a domain-parking page, was removed from the contact details. Website features (structured data, service pages) are recorded as absent; the entries that rested only on the parked address (dentist names and specialisations, service list, prices) are now unverified; the phone, address and map now rest on the clinic's Google listing.
2026-09-29Ortodoncia GuadalajaraCorrected 2026-09-29: pediatric dentistry now unverified: the only evidence was an archived copy of the clinic's website from 2025-05-25, more than a year old.
2026-09-29ProClinic Dental GDLCorrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-03).
2026-09-29SmileMedCorrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-06); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-08-18).
2026-09-25AM Dental StudioRe-read on 2026-09-25: the homepage in Spanish and English, the services, specialists, 'why choose us' and about pages, a blog article by a named clinic dentist, the clinic's WhatClinic profile and the clinic's Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews). Recorded: a genuine team photo; structured business data; the clinic's own dentist documenting her use of panoramic X-rays and her own wisdom-tooth extractions; the owner replied to a review; open Sundays with a 20:00 weekday closing; orthodontics offered for children as well as adults; care for dental emergencies stated on the clinic's own page; the contact form and WhatsApp link are both generic requests rather than a service- or time-specific booking; no recurring complaint pattern and no signs of review manipulation; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: CBCT/3D imaging.
2026-09-25Dental Health & Implant Center (DHIC)Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website and its Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews). Recorded: genuine photos of all six named specialists; a contact form with branch and treatment selection; structured business data on the site; no emergency or same-day care documented; the newest review is from March 2026; a recurring pattern of billing and treatment-guarantee complaints among the lower-rated reviews, with no separate signs of review manipulation; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: on-site X-ray or CBCT equipment, owner replies to reviews, English-language service, and experience with international patients.
2026-09-25DentalerRe-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website in Spanish and English (diagnostics, extractions, dental-tourism packages, foreign-patient booking and pricing pages) and its Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews, over 1,100 reviews). Corrected: the site's own 'Our Team' section names eight dentists together with their specializations, so both are now recorded as published. Recorded: a genuine business-uploaded photo of the storefront; the newest review is from today; the owner replies to negative reviews with detailed responses; a recurring pattern of long waits despite a scheduled appointment; no signs of review manipulation at this scale; a link to the clinic's Facebook page; digital X-rays and intraoral scanners on the site's diagnostics page and a 3D CBCT scan listed in its implant packages; dedicated pages for extractions and maxillofacial surgery; a full English site and a bookable virtual consultation for out-of-town patients; a weekday closing at 20:00 and Saturday hours; structured business data on the site; no TripAdvisor or other review-platform listing.
2026-09-25Dentalia Guadalajara (Midtown Jalisco)Re-read on 2026-09-25: the branch page and the chain's treatments page, plus the clinic's Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews). Recorded: a genuine patient-uploaded photo of the branded waiting room; structured business data; digital X-rays as part of the chain's free first-visit diagnostic package (no 3D/CBCT imaging documented); maxillofacial surgery, children's dentistry and a dedicated emergency phone line among the documented services; the owner replies to reviews by name; a recurring pattern of painful treatment followed by aggressive high-value upselling in the lower-rated reviews; no signs of review manipulation; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: English-language service and experience with international patients for this specific branch.
2026-09-25ImpladentRe-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (home, about, implants and contact pages) and its Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews). Recorded: a genuine photo of the clinic's director among his framed credentials; structured business data on the site; the newest review is from September 2026; the owner replies to reviews, including personalized responses to complaints; a recurring pattern of complaints about substandard root-canal work; no signs of review manipulation; emergency dental care listed on the clinic's Google Business Profile; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: on-site X-ray or CBCT equipment, English-language service, and experience with international patients.
2026-09-25La Clínica Dental (Guadalajara)Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (home, contact, team, premises and dental-tourism pages) and its Google listing, which confirmed no reviews yet. Recorded: a genuine photo of the named dentist on the team page; structured business data on the site; a booking form with treatment, date and time fields; a contact email not previously on file; no TripAdvisor or other review-platform listing. Not counted: page sections describing prices, equipment or international patients that are not actually shown to visitors. Still unverified: on-site X-ray or CBCT equipment, English-language service, and experience with international patients; the Google listing has no reviews yet, so rating and review-based criteria remain unset.
2026-09-25Odontología Especializada GDL (Dra. Elisabeth Piccirillo)Re-read on 2026-09-25: both of the clinic's website domains (3 pages each) and its Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews). Recorded: a genuine photo of the named dentist at chairside; structured business data; a weekday closing at 20:00 and Saturday hours; the owner replies to reviews with personalized thanks; only one negative review, no recurring complaint pattern and no signs of manipulation; no pediatric dentistry or emergency care in the full service list; the contact form is a generic request with no service or time selection; no TripAdvisor or other review-platform listing. Still unverified: a Facebook presence, on-site X-ray or CBCT equipment, English-language service, and experience with international patients.
2026-09-25Ortodoncia GuadalajaraRe-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website, which now resolves to a domain-parking placeholder rather than the clinic's own pages; supplemented with a copy of the site preserved from May 2025, and the clinic's Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews). Corrected: the website is no longer live, so a working website is no longer recorded; the street address on file was updated to match the clinic's current Google listing (same map location as before, Google simply displays a different nearby street name). Recorded from the 2025 archived copy: orthodontic treatment for children and adolescents. Recorded from the Google listing: the newest review is from August 2026; no recurring complaint pattern; two independent signs of review manipulation (a near-uniform five-star history and several reviews landing on the same day); hours that include a weekday closing at 19:00 and Saturday opening; no TripAdvisor or other review-platform listing. Still unverified: on-site equipment, whether implants, surgery or emergency care are offered, English-language service, experience with international patients, and structured data or dedicated service pages on a working site.
2026-09-25SmileMedAligned with the clinic's entry on mexicodentalrating.com: recorded General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) (yes) from sources read on 2026-08-23.
2026-09-25Smiling Art, Especialidades DentalesRe-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's site in full (9 pages: home, team, five doctor profiles) and its Google listing (newest, lowest and most-relevant reviews). Recorded: genuine headshot photos of the named specialists; no WhatsApp or LINE link anywhere in the site's HTML; no booking form, only a phone-call prompt; no structured business data on any page; no emergency or same-day care documented; only one low-rated review with a specific theme, no recurring complaint pattern and no signs of manipulation; no TripAdvisor or other review-platform listing. Still unverified: whether the owner replies to reviews, on-site X-ray or CBCT equipment, English-language service, and experience with international patients.
2026-09-10ImpladentTwin parity (mexico-dental / guadalajara-dental publish the same clinic): 1 dentist row(s) that this card left unchecked now carry the licence number the twin card recorded for the same person, together with the twin's own source and its reading. The number is the clinic's own published claim about its director, and the very source this row already cites states it verbatim on both cards.

2026-09-07La Clínica Dental (Guadalajara)opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria).
2026-09-07Methodology v1.4.0Narrowed 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.

2026-09-03Methodology v1.3.1Clarified 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.
2026-08-25AM Dental StudioRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, not permanently closed; recorded address and phone (both previously unset), recorded Google rating 4.9 (previously untracked) and review count changed 118->127.
2026-08-25AM Dental StudioLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES: registry's master-file download timed out and it has no search form, so this clinic's license could not be found or ruled false; recorded null. No named doctors to check against RNP.

Note: the DHIC name also covers a separate lower-rated Clouthier-777 listing (3.7/9) and a Providencia listing (4.6/30, different phone) not previously distinguished in the record.
2026-08-25Dental Health & Implant Center (DHIC)License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES (clinic) and RNP/SEP cédula profesional (dentists): neither Mexican registry could be queried today - CLUES master file (gobi.salud.gob.mx) timed out on download and RNP (cedulaprofesional.sep.gob.mx) refused the connection (ECONNREFUSED), so no clinic or doctor license could be found or ruled out for the 6 named doctors; all recorded null.

Maps profile lists a toll-free 800 number instead of the branch direct line; stored branch phone left unchanged as the website itself still lists 33 3817 1929.
2026-08-25Dentalia Guadalajara (Midtown Jalisco)License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES: registry's master-file download timed out and it has no search form, so this chain branch's clinic license could not be found or ruled false; recorded null. No named doctors to check against RNP.

2026-08-25ImpladentLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: both registries unreachable today, so the cédula (5090991) already published on the clinic's own site could not be cross-checked against RNP; recorded null pending registry access.
2026-08-25La Clínica Dental (Guadalajara)Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and phone unchanged, not permanently closed; recorded address (Av Guadalupe 6000-20, previously unset) and Maps geo/URL.

2026-08-25La Clínica Dental (Guadalajara)Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Site documents general anesthesia option for complex maxillofacial surgery cases
2026-08-25La Clínica Dental (Guadalajara)License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: both registries unreachable/non-functional today (CLUES master-file download timeout; RNP ECONNREFUSED); additionally this clinic's site publishes its 4 dentists by first-name-only, which would limit any search even if RNP were reachable. All fields recorded null.
2026-08-25Methodology v1.3.0Corrected 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.
2026-08-25Odontología Especializada GDL (Dra. Elisabeth Piccirillo)Re-verification 2026-08-25: an initial fetch of the stored website failed DNS resolution, but a retry succeeded and confirmed it live with matching address/phone; recorded Google rating 5.0 (114 reviews) and geo/URL, none previously tracked. Note: an alternate branded domain draelisabethpiccirillo.com was also found live with the same content; Maps shows a WhatsApp number (33 2310 9155) distinct from the confirmed office phone.
2026-08-25Odontología Especializada GDL (Dra. Elisabeth Piccirillo)License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: both unreachable/non-functional today, so neither the clinic license nor Dra. Piccirillo's cédula (not published on her own site either) could be found or ruled false; recorded null.
2026-08-25Ortodoncia GuadalajaraRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and matches stored name/address/phone; recorded Google rating 5.0 (37 reviews) and geo/URL, none previously tracked. DISCREPANCY FLAGGED: the Google Maps listing with the matching phone number displays under the name 'LINAIRE | Ortodoncia Guadalajara' at a different street address (C. General Eulogio Parra 2954) than the website/stored address (Justicia 2732) - possible rebrand/relocation not yet reflected on the website; address left unchanged pending manual confirmation.
2026-08-25Ortodoncia GuadalajaraLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: CLUES master-file download timed out and RNP (SEP cédula profesional) refused connection, so the two cédula numbers already published on the clinic's own site (9007457, 08710909) could not be cross-checked against the official registry today; recorded null pending registry access.
