| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | Brickell Dental Associates | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; address/phone confirmed on brickelldentalassociates.com). IMPORTANT: confirmed via Google Maps that this clinic's business-profile listing is titled 'Dr. Jose Delgado, DDS' (address #920, phone 305-372-8212, website brickelldentalassociates.com all match exactly) -- rating 4.8/221 reviews as of 2026-08-26, resolving prior 'ratings could not be attributed reliably' note. Attempted to re-verify the stored Yelp source (yelp.com/biz/brickell-dental-associates-miami) but it now redirects to a DIFFERENT, unrelated business ('Brickell Dental And Aesthetics', Suite 1020, owner Dr. Melissa Q., 2.6/5 rating with many billing complaints) -- confirmed this is NOT the same clinic (different suite, different owner name) and did NOT use it as a source; this corroborates the existing 'multiple similarly named Brickell practices' red flag and is a caution for future researchers not to conflate the two. No sedation/GA mention on brickelldentalassociates.com -- recorded null in sedation file. Visibility scout: 'emergency' mention from 2026-07-12 not reproduced today (recorded false per fresh scout). No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Blush (Tamiami) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; address/phone confirmed on dentalblush.com); Google Maps rating 5.0/559 reviews with coordinates/place URL. Yelp listing now lives at a NEW URL (dental-blush-miami-10, was dental-blush-miami-9) -- added as external source, 4.0/5 (4 reviews), owner 'Yacell D.'. No sedation/GA mention found anywhere on dentalblush.com -- recorded null in sedation file. Visibility scout: 'english speaking' still true; 'implants' and 'expats' mentions from 2026-07-12 not reproduced today (recorded false per today's fresh scout). No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentistry of Miami | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; phone confirmed 305-598-2622; site gives no street address, matches note that address is directory-sourced). Google Maps rating 5.0/269 reviews with coordinates/place URL -- note the Google Business Profile itself displays a different phone (786-938-5554) than the clinic's own site/stored value (305-598-2622); site value treated as authoritative, flagged for awareness only, contacts.phone left unchanged. Re-verified Yelp (4.6/5, 11 reviews) as added external source; added reviewRecency (most recent review Jan 3, 2026, naming 'Dr Solarzano'). Visibility scout: 'prominent dentist' mention from 2026-07-12 not reproduced today (recorded false per fresh scout). No sedation/GA mention found on dentistryofmiami.com -- recorded null in sedation file. No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | Everything Teeth Miami | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; phone/address confirmed as 305-777-7774, 12819 SW 42nd St); Google Maps rating 5.0/662 reviews with coordinates/place URL -- note Google Business Profile itself displays a different phone (305-404-6674) than the clinic's own site/stored value (305-777-7774), which is authoritative per direct site confirmation; flagging the Maps discrepancy for awareness only, not changing contacts.phone. Re-verified Yelp (4.9/5, 27 reviews) as added external source. Checked dedicated sedation page: explicitly describes nitrous+oral conscious sedation with patient 'remaining awake and able to communicate' -- recorded false in sedation file with direct quotes. Visibility scout: now also surfaces for 'emergency dentist Miami' via dedicated service page (new true; was false 2026-07-12). No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | Everything Teeth Miami | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dedicated sedation page: nitrous oxide + oral sedation, patient explicitly 'remain awake and able to communicate.' |
| 2026-08-26 | International Dental Care | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; address/phone confirmed on dentalinternationalcare.com); Google Maps rating 5.0/220 reviews with coordinates/place URL, business-owner field 'Ninoska P.' corroborating licensed dentist Ninoska Perez. Re-verified Yelp (5.0/5, 3 reviews, unclaimed) as added external source. No sedation/GA mention found on dentalinternationalcare.com -- recorded null in sedation file. Visibility scout: 'expats' mention from 2026-07-12 not reproduced today (recorded false per fresh scout). No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | International Dental Clinic | Deepen 2026-08-26: confirmed via Google Maps that the clinic's business-profile listing is titled 'Riera Family Dental' (address, phone match exactly) -- rating 4.9/126 reviews with coordinates/place URL added as a new external source, directly corroborating the existing 'contradictory_info' red flag about the two names for one location. Still no standalone clinic website found (directory/Maps-only presence, matching prior finding). No sedation/GA information found anywhere reachable today (no own site to check) -- recorded null in sedation file, honest omission. Visibility scout: 'expats' mention from 2026-07-12 not reproduced today (recorded false per fresh scout). No uncited existing sources found (s1, s2, sq); nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | MIA Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; toll-free phone confirmed). Found this group's South Beach branch as an explicit Google Business Profile ('MIA Dental - South Beach', 407 Lincoln Rd Ste 700, Miami Beach FL 33139, rating 4.7/416 reviews, direct line 305-532-6795) -- added as a new external source under reputation with clear notes that it covers only ONE of the group's ~4 locations, so did NOT set the clinic's top-level address/geo (left null, consistent with the existing per-location-verification-pending note) to avoid falsely resolving that ambiguity. No sedation/GA mention found anywhere on miadental.net -- recorded null in sedation file. No uncited existing sources found (s1, sq); nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | Miami Smile Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; address/phone confirmed on miamismiledental.com); Google Maps rating 4.9/252 reviews with coordinates/place URL. Found and added a NEW Yelp listing (yelp.com/biz/miami-smile-dental-miami, 4.8/5, 25 reviews, owner 'Ali Y.') beyond the existing Healthgrades citation; added reviewRecency (most recent review Jul 30, 2026). Sedation: Yelp 'About the Business' quotes owner bio listing 'sedation dentistry' among areas of experience but with no detail on depth/consciousness, and the clinic's own homepage makes no sedation mention at all -- too vague to meet the strict asleep/unaware bar, recorded null in sedation file with the vague quote noted. No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | ONE Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, phone/address confirmed on onedentalmiami.com), Google Maps rating 4.8/367 reviews with coordinates and place URL; re-verified Yelp (3.4/5, 27 reviews, claimed) as an added external source. Note: Google Business Profile displays a secondary phone (305-404-6674 shown on a different clinic's listing, not this one -- no discrepancy actually found for ONE Dental itself). Checked sedation-dentistry-miami page: describes conscious/nitrous sedation only, patient explicitly stays 'conscious and responsive' -- recorded false in sedation file. No uncited existing sources found (s1/s2/sq/doclic already cited elsewhere); nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | ONE Dental | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dedicated sedation page: nitrous/oral sedation, patient 'remains conscious and responsive throughout the procedure.' |
| 2026-08-26 | Relax and Smile Dental Care | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, address/phone confirmed on relaxandsmile.com), Google Maps rating 4.9/921 reviews with coordinates/place URL; re-verified Yelp (4.3/5, 101 reviews) as an added external source. Homepage bio for Dr. Laura Cabrera explicitly states 'conscious sedation' training -- recorded false in sedation file. Visibility scout: surfaced prominently for 'english speaking dentist Miami' (changed from false on 2026-07-12; today's fresh scout supersedes). No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | Relax and Smile Dental Care | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dr. Cabrera's bio states training in 'conscious sedation' only; no general anesthesia/deep sedation mentioned. |
| 2026-08-26 | South Gables Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live; address/phone confirmed on southgablesdental.com); Google Maps rating 5.0/182 reviews with coordinates/place URL. Found and added a NEW Yelp listing (yelp.com/biz/lawrence-m-lesperance-dds-south-gables-dental-coral-gables, 5.0/5, 7 reviews, owner 'Lawrence L.') as an additional external source beyond the existing Zocdoc citation. Sedation: no mention on southgablesdental.com itself, but the already-cited FL Dept. of Health license record for Dr. Robert Kaufman (source south-gables-dental-doclic-2) lists Qualification 'Moderate Sedation' -- moderate sedation keeps the patient conscious/responsive per Florida Board of Dentistry's own sedation-permit tiers, so this does NOT meet the asleep/unaware bar; recorded false in sedation file citing that existing license source. Visibility scout: 'emergency' mention from 2026-07-12 not reproduced today (recorded false per fresh scout). No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
| 2026-08-26 | South Gables Dental | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Own site has no sedation mention; but co-dentist Dr. Robert Kaufman's FL Dept. of Health license lists Qualification 'Moderate Sedation' -- moderate sedation keeps the patient conscious/responsive per FL Board of Dentistry sedation-permit tiers, so it does not meet the asleep/unaware bar. |
| 2026-08-25 | Brickell Dental Associates | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry: Dr. Jose Delgado found Clear/Active with license address matching the clinic exactly; the single-surname 'Dr. Tarantola' could not be reliably matched to the one statewide Tarantola record (different city, no first name given) so left null; clinicLicense null (no separate FL facility license for general dental offices). |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentistry of Miami | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry: Dr. Randy Furshman found on an active-but-Obligations status with license address matching the clinic exactly; single-surname 'Dr. Solorzano' could not be reliably matched among 3 same-area candidates so left null; clinic Business Name search returned no records (clinicLicense null). |
| 2026-08-25 | Everything Teeth Miami | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry: both named dentists (Diana Morell, Omar Morell) found Clear/Active with license addresses matching the clinic exactly; clinicLicense null (no separate FL facility license for general dental offices). |
| 2026-08-25 | International Dental Care | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry: Dr. Ninoska Perez found Clear/Active with license address matching the clinic exactly; clinicLicense null (no separate FL facility license for general dental offices). |
| 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Miami Smile Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry: Dr. Ali Yazback found Clear/Active with license address matching the clinic exactly; clinicLicense null (no separate FL facility license for general dental offices). |
| 2026-08-25 | ONE Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry (MQA license verification): both named dentists (Pamela Bosque, Lorena Corzo) found active and Clear/Active; no separate Florida facility/clinic license exists for general dental offices, so clinicLicense recorded as null (not false). |
| 2026-08-25 | Relax and Smile Dental Care | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry: all three named dentists (Cabrera, Ricart, Santos) found Clear/Active, two with license addresses matching the clinic exactly; clinicLicense null (Florida issues no separate facility license for general dental offices). |
| 2026-08-25 | South Gables Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against Florida Dept. of Health Board of Dentistry: both named dentists (Lesperance, Kaufman) found Clear/Active; clinicLicense null (no separate FL facility license for general dental offices). |
| 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. |
