Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2023-08-06 to 2026-10-01; 4.9 from 588): owner replies true; suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-02 | Complaint pattern re-read on the clinic's own Google listing (4.9 from 587): among the five lowest reviews, three are about appointments and waiting and three about cost. |
| 2026-09-10 | Anca Mircea and Rădvan Brânzan confirmed independently via CMSR national dentist registry (both active); site's #echipa team section did not render in static fetch (JS-loaded). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website https://dentesse.ro/ live; clinic operates 4 locations (Sf. Lazar, Saulescu, Kids & Teens, Husi), and the stored address/phone (Strada Sf. Lazar nr. 76, +40 232 210 105) match the Sf. Lazar location. Resolved that location's Google Maps short link and opened it (as text): captured first Google rating 4.8 (previously unset), plus coordinates and place URL. Review count not rendered on the page as read so left unset despite the site's own (unverified) claim of 960. |
| 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; 2 doctors not matched / unverifiable. Romania has no searchable clinic/establishment registry, so clinic-level licensing was not checked. |
