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 review volume [gmap] | 0/3 |

| ? | No suspicious review patterns The listing has only 2 reviews, all read (dated 2020-02-19 to 2022-10-13); fewer than ten, so a pattern cannot be judged. [clinica-de-ortodoncia-nunez-deepen-19] | 0/2 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 2 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's full 13-page site (first-visit process, every treatment page, contact) and its Google listing (2 reviews). Recorded: X-rays used for diagnosis, no implant or oral-surgery service (orthodontic specialist only), documented early/interceptive treatment for children, no emergency service, a WhatsApp-marked contact number, an online appointment form with date and time fields, and a dedicated explanatory page per treatment. No price figures published anywhere. Checked TripAdvisor and the national WhatClinic directory: no profile on either. Still unverified: CBCT imaging and work with foreign patients. |
| 2026-09-11 | Live verification in a browser: the Google place was confirmed at Av. Rivera 6329, both public reviews read (each answered by the practice), and the Business Profile hours recorded alongside the clinic's own. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: the Google place the initial data collection could not resolve was resolved automated and matches the clinic's own phone; phone number, geo, rating, review volume and recency, opening hours, clinic photography and service pages added. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial research pass: Clínica de Ortodoncia — Dr. Luis Nelson Núñez identified via web search discovery and own-site verification. |
