Journal des modifications
Chaque mise à jour de données, correction et modification de la méthodologie est consignée ici et dans l'historique propre à chaque clinique. Le classement est mis à jour dès que les données publiques sous-jacentes changent.
| Date | Objet | Modification |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Méthodologie v1.4.2 | 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 | Méthodologie v1.4.1 | 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. |
| 2026-10-05 | 24 Dental Clinic | Google indexing quality changed from good to partial after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (own site not listed, though indexed). |
| 2026-10-05 | 24 Dental Clinic | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the Practo page cited before is unclaimed and has no patient feedback, its HeliumDoc and Doctify entries carry no booking and no reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-05 | 24 Dental Clinic | The 2026-10-05 indexing reading was withdrawn: it relied on a search tool whose results differ from Google's own; the previous value is restored pending a re-check on Google. |

| 2026-10-02 | Oris Dental Center | Read 12 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: no repeated complaint, no suspicious review pattern. |
| 2026-10-02 | Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai | Read 5 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: the owner replies to reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | Versailles Dental Clinic | Read 10 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: no suspicious review pattern. |
| 2026-10-01 | 24 Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's full website in English and Arabic (home, about, services, contact and eight service pages), its Google listing, its HealthFinder listing, a TripAdvisor search and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: children seen for toothache and dental injuries; a page for visitors on holiday; no WhatsApp contact, online booking or structured data; service pages that name treatments without explaining them; not listed on TripAdvisor; no signs of review manipulation. Corrected: recent one-star reviews repeat one complaint, paying for treatment that did not solve the problem or cost more than expected. Still no prices on the site. Google 4.8 from 481 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-25, with owner replies to critical reviews. Still unverified: whether implants are offered, the clinic's Facebook page, and its imaging equipment. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 0 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Dr Aimen Zia Dental Clinic | Added to the directory on 2026-10-01. Researched from the clinic's website (every page and post: team, services, each service page, contact, booking, second opinion and dental tourism), its Google listing and an older second listing that names Dr. Aimen Zia, its Facebook page, WhatClinic, Practo and the Dubai Health Authority register. The register lists one dentist at the clinic, Dr. Aimen Zia, a general dentist; three further dentists named on the website are not licensed at this clinic and are not listed on this card. Recorded: service pages for each treatment, children's dentistry, an X-ray unit in the treatment room, WhatsApp contact, a dental tourism page; no price list of the clinic's own (the prices on the site are Dubai-wide ranges). Hours differ between the website (10 AM-10 PM) and the Google listing (open 24 hours). Google shows 5.0 from 261 reviews. Visibility checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries: absent from all five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Drs. Nicolas & Asp | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's full website (home, team, Jumeirah Center, service, imaging, emergency, sedation, insurance, appointment and campaign pages), its Google listing, its Facebook page, TripAdvisor, Dubai Review, and the Dubai Health Authority register for the Jumeirah centre and its dentists. Recorded: CBCT imaging; genuine clinic photos; Dentist and MedicalClinic structured data; step-by-step service explanations; online booking with treatment, date, time and centre; Facebook page active in September 2026; reviewed on Dubai Review; not listed on TripAdvisor; a recurring complaint in recent one-star reviews about charges or treatment beyond what was quoted or needed; Google 4.7 from 992 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-30; DHA licence numbers for three listed dentists. Still unverified: whether the review history shows signs of manipulation (the evidence read is inconclusive). Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | NOA Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's website (JLT branch, team, treatment, cost, dental tourism and contact pages), its Google listing, its WhatClinic profile, a TripAdvisor search and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: genuine clinic photos, an on-site OPG X-ray machine, CBCT scans taken at a nearby diagnostic centre on prescription rather than in the clinic, free video consultations and treatment plans for patients abroad, plain-language treatment explanations, structured data, a Facebook page, a WhatClinic rating of 4.6 from 13 verified reviews, no TripAdvisor listing, and no recurring complaints. Corrected: prices are now recorded as published — scale and polish from AED 500, fillings from AED 550, a single implant with crown from AED 4,500–8,500, root canals from AED 1,600 — and the first consultation is free; crown and X-ray prices are still not published. Google 4.9 from 149 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-30, with owner replies. Still open: whether the review history shows signs of manipulation. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 2 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Oris Dental Center | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's website (Jumeirah branch, team, services, treatment, medical tourism, insurance and contact pages, the Arabic version and the blog), its Google listing, its Yello profile, a TripAdvisor search and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: genuine clinic photos, digital X-rays and CBCT imaging, treatment plans with estimated costs for patients who send their X-rays in advance, step-by-step treatment explanations, structured data, a Facebook page, a Yello profile, no TripAdvisor listing, and the clinic e-mail. Confirmed that no price list and no consultation fee are published (a free consultation appears only in one article on braces and aligners). Corrected: the clinic is no longer recorded as answering reviews: it replies to recent five-star reviews, but none of the three one-star reviews of the past year has a reply. Google 4.9 from 309 reviews, newest dated 2026-08-29. Still open: whether the clinic is reviewed on another platform (a Yello UAE profile has no reviews; no WhatClinic or TripAdvisor listing; Practo not readable); whether the reviews show a recurring complaint or signs of manipulation. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 0 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai | Searched TripAdvisor and the review platforms on 2026-10-01: no TripAdvisor listing, so TripAdvisor presence is recorded as absent; the clinic has its own profile on HeliumDoc, so presence on other review platforms is recorded. |
| 2026-10-01 | SameDay Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's full website (team, treatment, imaging, pediatric, sedation, offer, international-patient and contact pages), its Google listing, its Facebook page, its Practo profile, a TripAdvisor search and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: the clinic's own CBCT scanner and X-rays; genuine clinic photos; online booking with treatment, date and time; step-by-step treatment explanations; no structured data; Facebook active in September 2026; not listed on TripAdvisor; no signs of review manipulation; a recurring complaint in the lowest reviews about charges (2016 and 2025); DHA licence numbers for the three listed dentists. Corrected: each dentist's specialty is published. Still no standing price list, consultation fee or X-ray price: the only figures are limited-time offers, and the free consultation with X-rays is for implant treatment only. Google 4.8 from 302 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-30, with owner replies. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Sky Clinic Dental Center | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's full website (home, team, services and every service page, implant guide, contact, terms and 360-degree tour), its Google listing, its Facebook page, TripAdvisor, and the Dubai Health Authority register for the clinic and its dentists. Recorded: X-rays and CBCT scans documented; Dentist structured data with the clinic's address and phone; step-by-step service explanations; a booking form with a choice of treatment; Facebook page active in 2026; not listed on TripAdvisor; no recurring complaint and no signs of review manipulation (22 of 790 ratings are one or two stars); Google 4.9 from 790 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-29; DHA licence numbers for four listed dentists. Corrected: the clinic's FAQ states that consultations are free (previously recorded as no consultation price); the MOH number on the website is now FVB573LK (previously GEQDCZ5H). Still unverified: whether treatment under deep sedation or general anaesthesia is offered (the site mentions only laughing gas and unspecified sedation). Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |

| 2026-09-29 | Drs. Nicolas & Asp | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-25); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-25). |

Recorded: implant price ranges (single implant AED 4,500-9,000), digital X-rays and CBCT, emergency priority booking, remote treatment plans for visiting patients, genuine clinic photos, structured data, owner replies to reviews, no recurring complaints, Facebook and Practo presence, Google 4.8 from 157 reviews with the newest dated 2026-08-25. Corrected: implant price is published (was recorded as not published); no general price list and no standing consultation fee are published (the implant table covers one treatment family, and the free consultations are offers for travelling patients and orthodontics); no cleaning fee of the clinic's own is published today (the earlier figure is no longer on the site); the clinic is closed on Sundays (previously recorded as open). Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence and the content of the one-star reviews (148 five-star and 9 one-star ratings, none in between). |

The clinic appears in 0 of the five. Google indexing recorded as partial: the site ranks for its name but for none of the five queries. |
| 2026-09-23 | DentalDate Dental Clinic | Listed at the clinic's request (e-mail of 2026-09-21). Researched from the clinic's website (641 pages in English and Russian: doctors, price list, every service page, contacts, dental tourism), both of its Google listings, Doctify and the Dubai Health Authority register, where both facilities and nine of the ten named dentists are found with active licences. A standing price list covers every priced item except imaging. The five canonical Dubai visibility queries were run the same day; the clinic appears in none of them. |
| 2026-09-23 | Dr. Joy Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (branch, team, all 42 service pages, new-patient, overseas-patient, dental-tourism, booking and contact pages; English, Arabic and Russian), its Google listing, its Dubai Review listing and its Dubai Health Authority facility record. Recorded: seven named dentists with specialisations on the branch page; no standing price list on any page (a free first consultation is offered only to orthodontic and dental-tourism patients); daily 9 AM-8 PM hours; Dentist structured data on the branch page; Google 4.8 from 2,275 reviews, newest 2026-07-02, with owner replies on all readable reviews; no recurring complaint (4.6% of ratings are 1-2 stars). Corrected: WhatsApp number, email and street address updated to those on the clinic's own branch page; the other-platform presence now cites the clinic's Dubai Review listing. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-23 | Dr. Joy Dental Clinic | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 4 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | Dr. Joy Dental Clinic | Dentists recorded with their Dubai Health Authority licence numbers, read from the public register on 2026-09-23: Dr. Ahmed A.M. El Sayed, Dr. Sarmad Abu-Qlam, Dr. Gagan Sabharwal, Dr. Kamila Akieva, Dr. Marjan Dorkhan, Dr. Dina Zakaria, Dr. Kristina Reshtovskaya. |

Recorded: genuine clinic photos, owner replies to all readable reviews, no recurring complaints or signs of review manipulation, Facebook link, Dental Departures rating 4.89 from 31 reviews, online consultation booking, step-by-step treatment explanations, structured data, branch e-mail and WhatsApp; confirmed X-ray and CBCT (Carestream CS 9300), emergency appointments, general anaesthesia, and that no prices are published. Google 4.8 from 1,267 reviews, newest dated 2026-08-30. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |

| 2026-09-23 | Dr. Paul's Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (home, team, about, contact, service and price pages, including the Mirdif branch pages), its Google listing, its Practo profile and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: documented experience with international patients through a multilingual front desk and team; Google 4.8 from 494 reviews, newest 2026-08-31; all three listed dentists hold active DHA licences at the clinic. Corrected: prices are published - "starting from" tables for crowns, bridges and dentures, a root canal price table with a CBCT scan price, and on the Mirdif branch pages consultation, children's cleaning and fillings, and implant prices; CBCT 3D imaging is documented. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence and owner replies to reviews. |

| 2026-09-23 | Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (home, team, contact, service, price and patient-guide pages), its Google listing and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: Google 4.9 from 1,724 reviews, newest 2026-07-30; all four listed dentists hold active DHA licences at the clinic; a contact email. Corrected: a filling price range (composite fillings AED 500-800 per tooth) and a free consultation are published; CBCT 3D imaging is documented for implant planning and extractions; the site's schema.org markup names the clinic but carries no address or telephone, so it does not count as local-business markup. Still unverified: TripAdvisor and other review-platform presence; owner replies to reviews. |
| 2026-09-23 | Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 3 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | Versailles Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (all service, team, FAQ and contact pages, plus its linked welcome site), its Google listing and the Dubai Health Authority register.

Corrected: a price list, the consultation price and the X-ray price are now recorded as published; review manipulation is no longer recorded as absent, because one readable five-star review is posted under the name of a staff member; treatment under general anaesthesia is no longer recorded, because the live site no longer documents it. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |

| 2026-09-23 | Versailles Dental Clinic | Dr. Julie Su and Dr. Joanna Maalouf removed from the dentist list: the clinic's team page names only Dr. Dominique Caron and Dr. Issam Naamo, and the Dubai Health Authority register shows both licences at this clinic cancelled (2026-05-15 and 2025-09-04). Licence numbers recorded for Dr. Caron (30606605-001) and Dr. Naamo (42328647-003). |
| 2026-09-17 | 24 Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (home and about pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: the team is named on the home page; a genuine premises photo on the Google listing; brief owner replies on 3 of 5 sampled reviews; no recurring complaints or signs of manipulation in the reviews read; Google 4.8 from 480 reviews. Corrected: an earlier check recorded no dentist names on the site — the home page names six dentists. The site is served intermittently: it returned an under-development placeholder on repeated requests later the same day. Still unverified: TripAdvisor and Facebook presence. |
| 2026-09-17 | 24 Dental Clinic | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the standard Dubai queries: not present for "best dentist Dubai", "English speaking dentist Dubai", "dental implants Dubai", "emergency dentist Dubai" and "Dubai dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-17 | Dr. Joy Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (team, overseas-patients, 3D-implant, pediatric and branch pages, previously unreachable) and its Google listing. Recorded: named dentists with specialisations; onsite CBCT and baseline X-ray imaging; a dedicated pediatric service and overseas-patient program with travel assistance; only two time-limited promotional bundle offers rather than a standing price list; 7-day opening hours including evenings; a Facebook link; a genuine premises photo; owner replies to reviews, including to a critical one; Google 4.8 from 2,273 reviews. Corrected the phone number to +971 800 37569, matching the site's own contact link and the Google listing. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; whether the pattern in one critical review (pressure toward treatment, conflicting advice) recurs beyond the single review read. |

Recorded: digital X-ray equipment; no CBCT on the equipment page; an active WhatsApp contact and online booking form; a step-by-step explanation of the implant procedure; Saturday opening hours; a Facebook link; owner replies to reviews; no recurring complaints or signs of manipulation in the reviews read; Google 4.9 from 351 reviews. A genuine premises photo was found on the Google listing; three images on the website are marked as AI-generated in their metadata. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |

| 2026-09-07 | Méthodologie 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 | Méthodologie 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | 24 Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: 24dentalclinic.com returned HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable) on two separate attempts, so it could not be confirmed live directly; however Google Maps still links to that same domain and shows the business open 24/7 with photo activity 6 days old, so this looks like a temporary outage rather than a dead site or closure — flagging for a follow-up check rather than marking dead. Address and phone unchanged; Google (listed there as '24 Hours Dental Clinic') rating unchanged at 4.8, review count 257→478. |
| 2026-08-25 | 24 Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry: clinic confirmed as registered facility '24 Hours Dental Clinic L L C' at the identical Al Barsha Third address and phone number as this record on file entry; no separate numeric facility license code is published on the public page. No named doctors to verify (clinic website does not list individual dentists, per prior research). |
| 2026-08-25 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (bayavenuedentalcentre.com), address unchanged, business open. Google rating unchanged at 4.8; recorded review count 156 (previously unset). Note: Google's listed primary contact is a mobile number (+971 55 146 5512); the previously stored landline (+971 4 277 0247) still appears on the clinic's own site as an alternate number, so it was left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry: clinic confirmed as registered facility 'Bay Avenue Dental Centre' (Polyclinic, Burj Dubai) with matching address/email; no separate numeric facility license code published. All 5 named doctors confirmed with individual DHA license numbers at this facility. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dr. Joy Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: drjoydentalclinic.com returned HTTP 403 (Forbidden) on two attempts (with and without www), so it could not be confirmed live directly — likely bot-blocking rather than a closure, since Google Maps confirms the business open at the stored address (villa 1021, Al Wasl Rd, matching 'Villa 1021, Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah'). Phone was not re-confirmed today. Recorded Google rating 4.8 and review count 2271 (both previously unset). |
| 2026-08-25 | Dr. Joy Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry: clinic confirmed as registered facility 'DR JOY DENTAL CLINIC L.L.C' at the identical Al Wasl Road villa address and email as this record on file entry; no separate numeric facility license code is published on the public page. No named doctors to verify (prior research found no individual dentist names published for this multi-branch operator). |
| 2026-08-25 | Dr. Michael's Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (drmichaels.com), address and phone unchanged, business open. Updated Google rating 4.9→4.8 and review count 1235→1264 for the 'Dr. Michael's Dental Clinic - Umm Suqeim' listing, whose place link matches the one embedded on the clinic's own site for this branch (a separate 'Jumeirah Branch' listing at a different address/review count exists but is not this record on file entry). |

| 2026-08-25 | Drs. Nicolas & Asp | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (nicolasandasp.com), address (Villa 446, Jumeirah Beach Road, Jumeirah 3) and phone (+971 4 394 7777) unchanged and matching the Google listing exactly, business open. Updated Google rating 4.9→4.7 and review count 3000→950. A separate same-brand 'Pediatric Dentistry Center' listing nearby is marked permanently closed on Maps, but that is not this record on file location. |
| 2026-08-25 | Drs. Nicolas & Asp | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry (DHA/Sheryan): all 4 named doctors confirmed as registered dentists at Dr. Nicolas and Asp Centre with matching specialties/facility; the public directory's list view does not expose numeric license codes (only individual detail pages do, and those could not be reached before the registry became temporarily unresponsive). |
| 2026-08-25 | Méthodologie 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 | NOA Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (noadentalclinic.com) and address unchanged (Unit 3808, Jumeirah Bay X2 Tower, JLT), business open. Corrected phone to +971521290431: the previously stored +97143987075 is, per the clinic's own website, the number for NOA's separate Trade Centre branch, not this JLT address — both the site and this Maps listing show +971 52 129 0431 for the JLT location. Updated Google rating 4.8→4.9 and recorded review count 143 (previously unset). |

Recorded Google rating 4.8 and review count 299 (both previously unset). Note: Google lists this business as 'SameDay Dental Implants' (category: maxillofacial surgeon) at the identical address, phone, and website rather than 'SameDay Dental Clinic'. |
| 2026-08-25 | SameDay Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry (DHA/Sheryan, open, dentist-scope): none of the 3 named doctors could be matched — 'Costa Nicolopoulos' (tried 'Nicolopoulos' and 'Nicolopoulo'), 'Petros Yuvanoglu' (tried 'Yuvanoglu'), and 'Ramy Tamzouk' (tried 'Tamzouk') all returned zero results. Recorded null, not false, given the Greek/international transliterated surnames and possibility of registration under an alternate name form; no clinic-scope lookup was needed as clinicLicense was already set from the clinic's own website. |

Dr. Rabih Mahfouz (searched 'Rabih Mahfouz'/'Mahfouz'), Dr. Rabih Abi Nader (searched 'Abi Nader') and Dr. Sami Awa (searched 'Sami Awa'/'Awa') could not be matched under any searched name variant against the same open, dentist-scope registry — recorded null, not false, given the international/transliterated surnames and no exact or partial match found. |
| 2026-08-25 | Versailles Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (versaillesdentalclinic.com) and phone unchanged (+971 4 429 8288), business open. Refined address to the full Al Razi Medical Complex suite address shown on Google Maps (record on file only had the generic 'Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai, UAE'). Recorded Google rating 4.9 and review count 349 (both previously unset). |
| 2026-08-25 | Versailles Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry (DHA/Sheryan): clinic confirmed as registered facility 'Versailles Dental Clinic FZ-LLC' (Polyclinic, Dubai Healthcare City) with matching address/phone/email; no separate numeric facility license code is published on the public page. Dr. Dominique Caron (Medical Director) and Dr. Issam Naamo confirmed as registered dentists at this facility. Dr. Julie Su and Dr. Joanna Maalouf could not be matched in the registry (searched 'Julie Su'/'Su' and 'Maalouf'/'Malouf', with and without facility filter) — recorded null, not false, due to possible name/transliteration variance; registry covers this clinic with clinic+dentist scope and is open access. |

This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
