| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-11 | Dr. Poluyev dental clinic | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading its Google listing on 2026-09-11: none of the 5 reviews that opened carries a reply, and with 5 of the 10 published reviews unread the criterion was left unscored instead of credited. |
| 2026-09-10 | iDent Clinic | Website https://dent.kz has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |
| 2026-09-10 | Luxor Dent | Website https://luxordent.kz has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |
| 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we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list.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 | Центр Цифровой Стоматологии Dr. Edil Boribay | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) and Google Maps (4.2★/73 reviews); re-verified 2GIS (4.9★/1271 ratings) and Facebook; sedation mention found on site is depth-unspecified so left null per strict bar; visibility scout 5 queries (no matches); cited 2 previously-uncited sources. |
| 2026-08-26 | Agadent | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, no sedation info) and Google Maps (5.0★/4 reviews - a very small pool); re-verified 2GIS (4.9★/185 ratings) which is agadent's real reputation base, and the pricing subpage. Corrected reputation.googleRating: prior stored 4.7/179 was actually 2GIS-sourced per its own source note, not Google - now replaced with today's genuine (if thin) Google figure; 2GIS re-cited to onOtherPlatforms. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 2 previously-uncited sources. |
| 2026-08-26 | Apostol Dental Clinic & Kids | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) - confirmed dedicated general-anaesthesia page and 'лечение во сне' for kids -> sedation file; Google Maps 4.1★/14 reviews; re-verified 2GIS (5.0★/525 ratings) confirming CBCT/sedation services. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Apostol Dental Clinic & Kids | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. dedicated general-anaesthesia page for kids plus 'лечение во сне' (treatment during sleep) |
| 2026-08-26 | Dent-Lux | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, no sedation info) and Google Maps (4.5★/115 reviews, Kabanbay Batyra branch); re-verified 2GIS (4.8★/1029 ratings) confirming address. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Center (Байзакова) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, no sedation info) and Google Maps (4.6★/18 reviews, address-confirmed at Baizakova 194); re-verified 2GIS (4.6★/61 ratings/41 reviews). Corrected reputation.googleRating: the previously stored 4.5/35 was actually sourced from 2GIS per its own source note, not Google - now replaced with today's genuine Google figure, old 2GIS source re-cited to onOtherPlatforms. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches, name collides with unrelated 'Dental Center' branches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Club | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) and Google Maps (4.6★/18 reviews, pin captured); re-verified 2GIS (5.0★/147 ratings) and Facebook presence, both now cited to addressAndMap/onFacebook; visibility scout 5 queries (no matches); cited 2 previously-uncited sources, pruned 0. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental-Center (Сатпаева) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) - confirmed explicit general-anaesthesia offering ('лечение/удаление зубов под наркозом') -> sedation file. Google Maps searches for 'Dental Center' near Satpaeva/JAZZ repeatedly resolved ambiguously against the separate Baizakova branch and other same-named clinics, so googleRating left unset today rather than risk a wrong pin/rating. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches, name collides with unrelated 'Dental Center' branches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental-Center (Сатпаева) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. explicitly offers treatment and extraction under general anaesthesia (наркоз), plus separate conscious sedation |
| 2026-08-26 | DentalPark | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, no sedation info) and Google Maps (4.6★/39 reviews); re-verified Zoon.kz revealing a negative pediatric review (recurringComplaints=true, new finding). Visibility scout found DentalPark twice (best-dentist and emergency-dentist local packs) - strongest visibility result in this cohort. Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | DobroDent | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, sevoran sedation confirmed -> sedation file). Google Maps shows 4.3★/104 reviews for 'Dobro Dent стоматология' (confirmed twice) but no compliant place URL could be captured today, so googleRating left unset per honesty rule; 2GIS re-fetch returned server error so only 1 independent external source (own-network doctors page not counted) could be re-verified live today. Visibility scout found Dobro Dent in emergency-dentist results. Cited 2 previously-uncited sources. |
| 2026-08-26 | DobroDent | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Sevoran (sevoflurane) 'light medicinal sleep' for children/adults; painless, patient does not recall treatment |
| 2026-08-26 | Dr. Poluyev dental clinic | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, no sedation/GA info found) and Google Maps (4.8★/10 reviews); re-verified 2GIS (4.9★/914 ratings) confirming license and address, and poluyev.103.kz confirming clinic responds to reviews. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 2 previously-uncited sources. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dr. Yerzhana Musagalieva | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked network site stom-diagnosticheskij-centr.103.kz (live, no sedation info). A Google Maps listing named 'Dr. Yerzhana Musagalieva' was located (3.0★/6 reviews) but no compliant place URL could be captured, so left unset per honesty rule; a 2GIS re-fetch for id 70000001041592348 resolved to a Samal-1 network branch (4.9★/631 ratings) rather than the Shevchenko address, consistent with this being a multi-branch network but not cited as the primary address source. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Eurodent | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) and Google Maps (4.6★/301 reviews); re-verified 2GIS (4.8★/2107 ratings) confirming complaints and 24h emergency; visibility scout found Eurodent in emergency-dentist results; cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Family Dent Dr. Kapanov | Deepen 2026-08-26: no dedicated website found; a Google Maps search for 'Family Dent Dr Kapanov Almaty' returned no matching listing (only unrelated nearby clinics), so operating status and rating remain unconfirmed. No uncited sources existed to triage (sole source s1 already cited). Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). |
| 2026-08-26 | Family Dental Solutions | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) - address now reads Serkebaeva 107 instead of stored Gagarina 309/1 (same BC Comfort building); confirmed independently by Google Maps listing at the same address. Google Maps 5.0★/11 reviews; 2GIS re-verified 4.9★/199 ratings (still shows Gagarina naming). Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 2026-08-26 | iDent Clinic | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) and Google Maps (3.0★/10 reviews, low); re-verified Zoon.kz which reconfirms recurring complaints and no clinic responses (new access today, cited alongside prior s2). Site only mentions modern local anesthesia -> sedation=false. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 2 previously-uncited sources. |
| 2026-08-26 | iDent Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. modern local anesthesia methods only; no general anaesthesia or sleep sedation mentioned |
| 2026-08-26 | Kristall-Dent | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) and Google Maps (4.9★/30 reviews); re-verified 2GIS (4.9★/481 ratings, positive reviews) and Facebook; visibility scout 5 queries (no matches); cited 2 previously-uncited sources. |
| 2026-08-26 | Luxor Dent | Deepen 2026-08-26: luxordent.kz responded to both http and https requests only with a self-signed/invalid TLS certificate (server reachable, content not retrievable via standard fetch) - operating status left 'unclear' rather than guessed. A quoted Google Maps search for "Luxor Dent" Almaty found no matching listing (search fell back to a region-wide view), so no Google rating could be captured. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source; note the certificate issue as a site-quality concern. |
| 2026-08-26 | Luxor Dent | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 2 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in the fleet external-link sweep (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://luxordent.kz/]: https://luxordent.kz/ (self-signed certificate; if the root CA is installed locally, try running Node.js with --use-system-ca, rotten) | s2 [https://luxordent.kz/price]: https://luxordent.kz/price (self-signed certificate; if the root CA is installed locally, try running Node.js with --use-system-ca, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | SB Dental Clinic | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, no sedation info) and Google Maps (4.0★/37 reviews); re-verified 2GIS (4.7★/2221 ratings) confirming address. Visibility scout 5 queries (no matches). Cited 1 previously-uncited source. |
| 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. |
| 2026-08-23 | 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. |
