| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and WhatClinic's Bratislava directory: no listing on either platform. The clinic's website carries no TripAdvisor link. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 309 (was 293) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (treatment-category page, technology page, price guide) and its Google listing. Recorded: Google photo strip is fully clinic-uploaded; no recurring complaints or manipulation signs; Facebook linked; a 3D CT scanner documented; each treatment explained with its purpose across dedicated pages; structured data present; office hours weekdays only, no evenings or weekends. Confirmed the filling price is still not published (mentioned but no figure given) and that orthodontics, pediatric and emergency care are not among the clinic's treatment categories.
