Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Reputation check 2026-10-05 on the clinic's Google listing (14 reviews read): owner replies to reviews yes. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: WhatClinic clinic profile (no reviews yet), as on the Romania site; the datum previously rested on a local news page. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's radiology, emergency-related and contact pages, plus its Google listing. Recorded: CBCT imaging; emergency care availability; an online booking form; weekday hours to 9 PM; a genuine interior photo via the Google listing. Google 4.1 from 102 reviews, newest 2026-04-22. Three of the five readable reviews describe unexpected extra charges or treatments pushed without full disclosure, spread across 2023-2026 - recorded as a recurring complaint pattern. No WhatsApp contact channel found. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against CMSR member register: Negrila, Mircea and Colteanu found as active registered dentists under CMS Bucuresti (Mircea's registered Parodontologie specialty matches the site's periodontology listing). Neaga is registered under CMS Bucuresti with matching Endodontie specialty, but the register currently shows his status as 'suspendat (la cerere)' (suspended at his own request) rather than active - recorded as verified-false. Romania has no publicly searchable state registry of dental clinics, so clinic license could not be checked. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address/phone unchanged, clinic open; captured first-time Google rating 4.1 (101 reviews), place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-07-12 | Initial data collection. |
