General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the AdvisorLB page cited before has no reviews of its own and nothing showing that the clinic manages it, and no profile of the clinic was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (10 reviews read): recurring complaints no, suspicious review patterns no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic website (homepage, sitemap and service pages): no structured data found. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: AdvisorLB (profile, no reviews listed). |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-25). |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; the LDA dentists registry returned HTTP 403 on every path, soall four named doctors' licenses are null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: corrected address - samaraniclinic.com lists locations in Byblos/Jbeil and Sin-El-Fil, not the stored 'Verdun Plaza, Verdun, Beirut'; the clinic's only Google Maps listing is the Byblos location (Moussa Farhat Center, Voie 13, 3rd floor), which we used as the mappable address. Stored phone (+961 3 566020) matches the site and was kept; Maps additionally shows a Byblos-specific number (+961 9 545 678). Clinic confirmed open. Captured Google rating 5.0 (339 reviews). |
