Changelog
Every data update, correction, and methodology change is logged here and in each clinic's own change history. The rating updates whenever the underlying public data changes.
| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Methodology v1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | Methodology v1.4.1 | Added 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. |
| 2026-10-05 | Clínica IDEN | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no owner replies found. |
| 2026-10-05 | Dentagrama | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | MAAS Dentistas | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: business structured data present. |
| 2026-10-01 | Imagen Dental | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on Doctoralia, WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot, and its indexed Yelp page could not be opened; "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to unconfirmed. |
| 2026-10-01 | Imagen Dental | Read on 2026-10-01: the clinic has its own page on a review platform (yelp.com), so it is present on other review platforms. |
| 2026-09-29 | Imagen Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4.1 (was 4) and review count 88 (was 80) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-29 | Zental Odontología | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-07-09). |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica IDEN | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (all 15 pages, including the online booking calendar, treatments and general-dentistry FAQ) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine consultation photo, no recurring complaint theme, a real-time online booking calendar, priority same-day or next-day care for dental emergencies, evening weekday hours, and Dentist/Physician structured data. The clinic states it treats adults only, so pediatric dentistry is not offered. No TripAdvisor presence found. Owner replies to reviews and whether staff speak English remain unconfirmed. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica IDEN | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five pending Monterrey queries: not present for "best dentist Monterrey", "English speaking dentist Monterrey", "dental implants Monterrey", "emergency dentist Monterrey", "Monterrey dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Serrano de Implantología Oral | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (all content pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine specialist portrait and a WhatsApp click-to-chat number. Pediatric dentistry, emergency/same-day care, online consultation booking and structured data were not found. No TripAdvisor presence found. The listing has only 3 reviews, too few to assess owner replies, complaints or review patterns. |

Recorded a recurring pattern of post-treatment pain in two independent reviews. Corrected: an online-consultation price is in fact published (previously marked unpublished). Pediatric dentistry and TripAdvisor presence are absent; services sit on one page rather than dedicated URLs. |

| 2026-09-07 | Methodology v1.4.0 | Narrowed 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. |
| 2026-09-03 | Methodology v1.3.1 | Clarified 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | Consorcio Odontológico Integral | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://www.consorcioodontologicointegral.com/index.html]: https://www.consorcioodontologicointegral.com/index.html (HTTP 404, rotten) |

Re-fetched the site root https://www.consorcioodontologicointegral.com/ and it loads live with the same clinic content (Consorcio Odontológico Integral, Monterrey, Jorge Humberto Villarreal Rodríguez, CAD/CAM + 3D CBCT, implantology focus). Re-cited all 18 facts that depended on s1 to the working root URL and pruned the dead /index.html entry. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica IDEN | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name, address, and phone against clinicaiden.com.mx; Google Maps lists this practice as 'IDEN - Implantes Dentales - Dr. Joel Mendez' at the same address (rating matches stored 4.9). Captured 47 reviews and Maps URL/geo coordinates (none previously on file). |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica IDEN | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Local anesthesia is standard; conscious sedation (sedación consciente) offered for anxious patients, patient stays aware |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica IDEN | License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: both registries unreachable/non-functional today (CLUES master-file timeout; RNP ECONNREFUSED). No clinic or doctor license found or ruled false for Dr. Joel Méndez Monge; recorded null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Serrano de Implantología Oral | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name, address, phone, and open status; captured Google rating 5.0 (3 reviews, last dated several years ago) and Maps URL/geo coordinates (none previously on file). |

| 2026-08-25 | Consorcio Odontológico Integral | License 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. |

Dr. Mario A. Cuellar Caraza already has cédula 7699877 on file (UANL) from the clinic's own site; skipped re-lookup since RNP (the only dentist-scope registry) is unreachable (ECONNREFUSED, re-tested 2026-08-25) and could not cross-check it anyway. |

Dr. José Eleuterio González, adding the Mitras Nte. colonia and 64320 zip not previously on file (same street/building, address corrected/expanded). Captured Google rating 3.9 (69 reviews) and Maps URL/geo coordinates (none previously on file). |

| 2026-08-25 | Methodology v1.3.0 | Corrected 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Soto Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name, address, and phone (site lists no phone on the Maps card itself, but sotocenter.com confirms it); captured Google rating 5.0 (11 reviews) and Maps URL/geo coordinates (none previously on file). |

| 2026-08-23 | Methodology v1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
| 2026-07-08 | Methodology v1.1.0 | Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section. |
| 2026-07-03 | Methodology v1.0.0 | Initial public methodology. |
