| التاريخ | الموضوع | التغيير |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.4.1 | Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes. |

| 2026-09-24 | Al Dhabi Dental and Orthodontic Centre | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (services and contact pages) and Google Business listing (default, newest and lowest-rated reviews).

Not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-07 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.4.0 | 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we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list.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 | Davinci Dental Clinic | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was no Google Maps citation at all - the listing was found today by a Maps search for the clinic name plus Abu Dhabi, so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (website davincidental.ae and phone +971 2 222 2616 - both match this card exactly; address Marina Office Park, Villa A 27/18, Marina Village, near Marina Mall. The listing's own Maps title is a marketing superlative and has deliberately not been adopted as the clinic name), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.474257, 54.3185833. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.8/402 -> 4.8/436. Applied identically to the Abu Dhabi index and the imported copy in the UAE index. |
| 2026-09-03 | Gentle Dental Care (GDC) | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a goo.gl/maps short link (https://goo.gl/maps/o6FyfwHTUe5AKz6KA), so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Gentle Dental & Invisalign Clinic Abu Dhabi", website gdcabudhabi.ae and phone +971 2 676 4642 - both the website and the phone match this card exactly; address Junction of Delma, Villa No. 6, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.4486982, 54.358277. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.8/246 -> 4.8/321. Applied identically to the Abu Dhabi index and the imported copy in the UAE index. |
| 2026-09-03 | Harley Street Dental Clinic (HSDC) | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a maps?q= query URL (https://www.google.com/maps?q=Harley+Street+Dental+Center+-+Marina+Village,+Villa+A15+-+Abu+Dhabi), which re-runs a search rather than naming a place, so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Harley Street Dental Center", address "Marina Village, Villa A15 - Abu Dhabi" reproducing the query string verbatim, phone +971 2 491 6885 and website hsdc.ae - all three match this card), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.4730876, 54.3191585. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.5/199 -> 4.6/479. Applied identically to the Abu Dhabi index and the imported copy in the UAE index. |
| 2026-09-03 | Snö Clinics (Abu Dhabi) | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a g.co/kgs short link (https://g.co/kgs/ap9U1rh), which the browser is not permitted to open, so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Snö Clinics", address "Plaza 30 - Villa 4 Miraykh St - Al Nahyan" matching this card's "Villa 4, Plaza 30, Al Nahyan", phone +971 800 239355 and website snoclinics.com. Disambiguated from the two other Snö-branded Abu Dhabi listings a Maps search returns - Snö Clinics at Beach Lamar Residence, Al Raha St (4.4/159) and Snö Wellness at Plaza 30 Villa 2A Delma St (4.6/44) - by that Al Nahyan address, which is the same address the DOH facility licence MF4817 was matched on), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.470931, 54.3851973. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.3/192 -> 4.2/242. Applied identically to the Abu Dhabi index and the imported copy in the UAE index. |
| 2026-09-03 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.3.1 | 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. |

| 2026-08-25 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.3.0 | 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 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.2.0 | 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. |
