Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 6 review orders (14 distinct reviews, dated 2018-02-11 to 2025-07-15; 5.0 from 35): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-01 | Review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, SuperDoc, Trustpilot or Bookimed, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: red flag "No dentists identified anywhere" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that the clinic names its dentists. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's about, services, gallery and contact pages in English, plus its Google listing. Corrected: the clinic's About page names and credentials its owner-dentist, previously recorded as not named (a separate 'Team' section on the site is unfinished placeholder content and was not used as evidence); a photo gallery of the premises is published. Recorded: no prices published for any treatment; no orthodontics or pediatric dentistry; no WhatsApp; an online consultation-request form. Google reviews (all 5) are positive, individually answered, with no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; on-site imaging equipment. |
| 2026-09-07 | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (unchanged); added Google rating (5.0/35), a ZoomInfo business-profile external source confirming the address, and the site's own emergency-line quote (previously null); visibility scout 5 queries - appears only for emergency; no uncited sources found to triage. |
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26 against IAMN/his.bg outpatient-care registry: no clinic registration identified for Sofia Dental under 2 name variants tried; no named doctors on the clinic's site to check against BZS. |
