General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's home/FAQ page (services, team, location) and its Google listing. Recorded: X-rays are used in the diagnostic evaluation; orthopaedics for children from age 5-6; treatments are explained rather than just listed; booking is only a generic WhatsApp link, not a service-specific widget; no structured data. No price figures anywhere. The Google listing shows zero reviews, so rating, recency, replies and complaint patterns are left unrecorded. Checked TripAdvisor and the national WhatClinic directory: no profile on either. Still unverified: CBCT imaging, implantology/surgery/emergency services (the doctor's bio mentions surgery and implant training but the clinic markets itself as an orthodontic specialist), English-speaking staff, work with foreign patients and opening hours. |
| 2026-09-11 | The licence column carried the phrase "MSP habilitado — DOCTOR EN ODONTOLOGIA" where a number belongs, and printed it unchanged in both languages. The register reading behind it is unchanged and now sits in the notes column instead: MSP InfoTítulos confirms the practitioner on its public roll and publishes no licence number. The number the register does carry is a Caja de Profesionales Universitarios pension-fund number, which is not a professional licence, so it is deliberately not published on this card. |
| 2026-09-11 | Live verification in a browser: the Google listing was confirmed to carry zero public reviews and no published hours; the clinic's own site was confirmed to publish no hours either, and its Facebook page was recorded. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: MSP InfoTítulos corroborates the named orthodontist; geo read live; clinic photography confirmed and the single-page structure recorded; the Google place carries no reviews, so reputation stays unset. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial research pass: ProDental — Especialistas en Ortodoncia identified via web search discovery and own-site verification. |
