Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-25 | 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. Dr. Sergio Eduardo Soto Delgado already has cédula 6595491 on file 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | 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). |
