General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary

Two-location practice ("Clínica Berro — Odontología en Montevideo y Punta del Este") offering orthodontics, whitening, implants, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, X-ray and same-day emergency care; this card covers the Punta del Este branch (separate phone line from the Montevideo branch, shared WhatsApp).

A third-party Instagram post (not the clinic's own domain) names Clínica Berro and its Punta del Este phone/WhatsApp in the "emergency dentist Punta del Este" canonical-query results; per methodology rule (A) only the clinic's own channels count for aiVisibility, so this is recorded as false rather than true — the raw hit is (puntadeleste.emergency, rank 9).

Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.

✓ Has a working website [s1] 4/4

Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.

Reputation & Reviews

6 / 20

Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.

◐ Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) as of 2026-09-10 [gmap] 1/6
◐ Google review volume [gmap] 0.5/3
◐ Review recency The newest of the six reviews is ten months old; the entire base was read 2026-09-11. [gmap] 1.5/3
✗ Clinic responds to reviews All six public reviews were read in the reviews panel 2026-09-11 and none carries a reply. The listing is also unclaimed — Google still offers "Claim this business" on it — so the practice is not in a position to answer there at all. [gmap] 0/2
✗ No recurring complaints Recorded on the complete review base, re-read in the original Spanish on 2026-09-11. All three reviews below three stars are dated — 29 April 2025, 22 May 2025 and 13 October 2025 — come from three separate accounts, and each describes something the practice undertook and did not deliver. The one-star of 13 October 2025: a twenty-aligner course paid in full after a preview of all twenty, stopped at the eighth. The one-star of 29 April 2025: whitening advertised at $3,900 with cleaning included, with a further $2,000 asked on arrival. The two-star of 22 May 2025: a detailed written enquiry from abroad, with an X-ray and a second opinion already in hand, answered in a way the patient found dismissive. None of the six reviews on the listing carries a reply. Two of the three accounts share a surname and may be related; the pattern rests on three separate accounts either way. The money-and-terms half of this pattern is also recorded as a red flag on this card; the single complaint about the reply to an enquiry is one account, which is not a recurring communication complaint, so it is not flagged separately. [gmap] 0/2
✓ No suspicious review patterns No manipulation signs in the read reviews [clinica-berro-punta-del-este-deepen] 2/2
✓ Active Facebook presence [s1] 1/1
✗ TripAdvisor presence Two independent negatives: TripAdvisor search and own site [clinica-berro-punta-del-este-deepen-2] [clinica-berro-punta-del-este-deepen-10] 0/0.5
✗ Other review platforms Two independent negatives: WhatClinic and TripAdvisor [clinica-berro-punta-del-este-deepen-3] [clinica-berro-punta-del-este-deepen-11] 0/0.5

Red Flags

  • medium Opaque or bait pricing (-4 pts) — Two of the six public Google reviews describe advertised terms that were not honoured, and both were re-read in the original Spanish on 2026-09-11. A one-star dated 13 October 2025: the reviewer paid USD 1,200 up front for a twenty-aligner course after being sent a preview of all twenty, and was told at the eighth that the treatment was over. A one-star dated 29 April 2025: the reviewer came for the whitening advertised at $3,900 with cleaning included and was asked on arrival for a further $2,000 for a deep cleaning she had not expected. Neither review has a reply, and neither does any of the other four — the listing has not been claimed by the practice, so nothing can be answered there at all. [gmap]
  • low No dentists identified anywhere (-2 pts) — No dentist names published (derived from data).

Red-flag penalty applied: -6 points (capped at ⁦-20⁩).

Change History

DateChange
2026-09-25Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's home page (its only real page besides a 404) and its Google listing. Recorded: a free consultation is published; the clinic's own X-ray equipment is documented without any CBCT mention; a short explanation for each service. The Google Business Profile is unclaimed; its six reviews (three one/two-star, three five-star, spread 2021-2025 with established accounts) show no sign of manipulation. Checked TripAdvisor and the national WhatClinic directory: no profile on either. Still unverified: named dentists' specializations, English-speaking staff and work with foreign patients.
2026-09-11The three critical reviews were re-read in their original Spanish on 2026-09-11 and dated to the day. Two concern advertised terms that were not honoured and one the answer to a written enquiry. The red flag already on this card covered the first pattern but stated that the practice had answered both reviews in public; it has not — none of the six reviews carries a reply and the listing is unclaimed — and that sentence has been corrected. No second red flag was added: one pattern is penalised once.
2026-09-11Live verification in a browser: the complete review base was read, confirming the recurring-complaint pattern with quotations and withdrawing the claim that the practice answers reviews — the listing is unclaimed and none of the six reviews has a reply.
2026-09-10Adversarial verification: the branch street address recovered from the clinic's own site; Google rating 3.2 over 6 reviews, recency, owner replies, hours and geo read live; a recurring complaint pattern about advertised price and treatment scope documented and red-flagged.
2026-09-10Initial research pass: Clínica Berro — Punta del Este identified via web search discovery and own-site verification.
