Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-01 | Re-read of the redesigned website (JavaScript-rendered, read in a browser) following the clinic's 2026-08-27 request for a re-crawl: structured data recorded (Dentist JSON-LD with contact, hours, specialties, map link); opening hours recorded (Mon-Fri 09-18, Sat 09-14). Verified on the single page: no emergency care, no sedation, no prices, no street address (locality only). Service pages: every menu, footer and sitemap link (services, six specialties, contact, profile, technology) returns 404 - dedicated service pages recorded as absent. Clinic photos: reception, waiting area and two treatment rooms are AI-generated image files; recorded as not real photos. Price criterion applied identically to all 18 listed Beirut clinics (none publishes prices or ranges). Google listing found and recorded: 5.0 from 6 reviews, all posted in the last week. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; LDA dentists registry is blocked (HTTP 403, Cloudflare) so Dr. Mona Sayegh Ghoussoub's license is null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website (achrafiehdentalclinic.com) live and phone unchanged; recorded a more specific address ('next to Lala Chicken, 7th floor') found via its Google Maps listing, refining the previously generic 'Achrafieh, Beirut' entry. Clinic is open on Maps but has 0 Google reviews yet, so no rating/review-count is available. Its own site is JavaScript-heavy and its anaesthesia/sedation info could not be retrieved. |
