General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary
Medical and dental centre on Khuzam Street, Khuzam, with general dentistry, orthodontics, general medicine and dermatology among its registered services and 18 accepted insurance plans, staffed in English and Arabic. No clinic website was found; the entry rests on business-directory records plus the live Google place page for this address and telephone number.
Published name corrected 2026-09-02. The entry was built from a business-directory record labelled “Dental Art Clinic”. That directory carries three separate Khuzam Street records on this one telephone number (+971 7 243 7999) - Dental Art Clinic, Atheer Dental Clinic and Atheer Medical And Dental Center LLC - and shows an identical Google rating and review count (4.9 / 369, March 2026) on all three, so the telephone match this entry originally rested on does not distinguish them: the number and the rating are both carried over from one Google place. The Google place page at these coordinates is Atheer Medical and Dental Center, and the most recently verified of the three directory records (11 June 2026) is the Atheer Medical And Dental Center LLC one, so the reputation figures are attributed to that name. The directory label is retained in the page URL only. Checked 5 canonical AI-visibility queries for Ras Al Khaimah (2026-09-02): not visible in any. Browser spot-check 2026-09-03: the rename is now backed by a primary source. The Google Maps place page at 25.7673291 / 55.9338106 is titled "Atheer Medical and Dental Center مركز أثير للطب والأسنان", gives the address "Khuzam St, Khuzam, Ras Al Khaimah" and publishes exactly the phone on this card, +971 7 243 7999; it carries no website field, which matches the null recorded here. Reviews on it name Dr Zaher / Dr Zahir. Zavis.ai directory record for Atheer Medical And Dental Center LLC lists registered services (General Medicine, General Dentistry, Dermatology, Orthodontics) — a directory fact, not a clinic-published service list (see serviceListPublished). This clinic has no website of its own; the Google Business profile was viewed live in a browser on 2026-09-03 for identity/rating purposes but its services tab (if any) was not part of that check.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

The Google Business profile (Maps place page) returns only a JS shell to curl and could not be checked without a browser for a services listing. Register/directory service text is kept as a fact in the clinic note, not counted as the clinic publishing its own list. | 0/3 |

Reputation & Reviews
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ✓ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps place page, re-read in a browser: 4.9 across 395 reviews - unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged, and the published rating reproduces from the star histogram 379/3/0/1/12 (5*->1*). [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps place page, re-read in a browser; unchanged. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged; the star histogram 379/3/0/1/12 (5*->1*) sums to the published count. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest visible review dated "a month ago". Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 379/3/0/1/12 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews None of the 8 visible reviews carries a reply from the owner. Absence from a relevance-ordered preview is weaker evidence than a positive finding, but with 8 reviews visible and none answered the criterion is recorded as not met. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 379/3/0/1/12 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No complaint appears among the eight visible reviews. The histogram carries 12 one-star and 1 two-star review that the relevance-ordered preview did not surface. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 379/3/0/1/12 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The distribution retains 12 one-star, 1 two-star and 3 four-star reviews of 395, the visible reviews span one to ten months, wording is individual and names different dentists (Dr Zahir, Dr Jalal), and reviewer accounts run from 1 to 17 reviews including three Local Guides. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 379/3/0/1/12 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Rule A: serviceListPublished true->null — sourced only to the zavis.ai directory record (registered services: General Medicine, General Dentistry, Dermatology, Orthodontics), not the clinic's own channel; this clinic has no website or Facebook to check, and the Google Business profile's services listing is not checkable via curl. |
| 2026-09-03 | Identity confirmed against a primary source, closing the one rename in this group that had none: the Maps place page at the recorded coordinates publishes the name "Atheer Medical and Dental Center" together with the phone +971 7 243 7999 that this card carries, so the practice at this address trades as Atheer and not under the former name. Rating and count re-read live and unchanged (4.9 / 395). |
| 2026-09-02 | Wave-3 adversarial verification: the directory carries three separate records on this one telephone number, all showing the same Google figures, so the earlier phone-match identity check was circular. The Google place these figures come from is Atheer Medical and Dental Center; the published name was corrected to it and the registered services and insurer count taken from that record. |
| 2026-09-02 | Live Google Maps rating/review count added; live listing identified as "Atheer Medical and Dental Center" via exact phone/address match; aiVisibility scout run, no mentions found (wave 3). |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection. |
