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 |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website and a TripAdvisor search. Recorded: the site documents daily opening hours specifically enabling both consultations and emergencies; no structured data; not found on TripAdvisor. This is a 9-branch chain with no single Google Business listing identified for the brand as a whole — the one branch listing found (Isla Genovesa / Av. Río Coca) is unclaimed with a single review, too weak and too local to represent the chain's rating, review recency, reply behaviour or complaint patterns, which are left unscored rather than guessed from one branch. |
| 2026-09-11 | Address and map re-read: the clinic publishes no street address and no map or pin, only a road or a list of neighbourhoods, so the criterion was corrected to not published. The score drops by two points. |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/phone (unchanged, live); identified the specific branch matching our stored phone among many same-brand Google listings across the metro area ('PRO-BOCA CLINICA DENTAL SAN RAFAEL', 4.5/4 reviews) but could not capture a stable dedicated place URL for it, so googleRating is left unset pending a valid source; added Facebook page as new source to onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found. |
