Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: Dr. Costea Tatiana confirmed via the clinic's own "Specialiștii noștri" page (https://www.dentalwest.ro/specialistii-nostri), adding an own-site citation alongside the existing WhatClinic aggregator source. License value left exactly as on record. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website https://www.dentalwest.ro/ live; clinic operates 4 Brasov cabinets, and the stored address (Str. Iuliu Maniu 68, sc.A, ap.1) matches the 'Centru' location exactly. Resolved that location's Google Maps CID via a g.page short link on the site and opened it (as text): captured a first Google rating, 4.9 (previously unset). Note: the Maps listing shows phone +40 268 547 156, differing from the stored +40 775 336 825 (mobile) — both may be in use (landline vs. mobile), so the stored contact number was left unchanged rather than overwritten; flagged here for review. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against CMSR (Colegiul Medicilor Stomatologi din Romania, cmsr.ro/membri2): 1 doctor confirmed active in the CMSR register. Romania has no searchable clinic/establishment registry, so clinic-level licensing was not checked. |
