General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Reputation & Reviews
14 / 20
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 2026-09-01 [sm] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-29; previously 83 [smelio-dental-clinic-fergana-gbp-2026-09-29] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Most recent visible reviews dated 6-11 months before access date, with a photo from a patient 1 year ago. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replies to reviews on Google: 3 of the 10 reviews read carry an owner reply; the latest reply is dated 2026-06-13 (to a review of 2025-09-11). [smelio-dental-clinic-fergana-deepen-11] [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints as of 2026-09-24: the four lowest-rated reviews sampled are positive in content [smelio-dental-clinic-fergana-deepen-3] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Nine of the ten reviews read come from accounts with a single review or none visible, and three 1★ ratings dated 2025-09-10 to 2025-09-12 carry praising texts; the texts are not templated and there is no burst of four in three days, so the question stays open. [smelio-dental-clinic-fergana-deepen-11] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Active Facebook presence The clinic's Facebook page "Smelio Dental Clinic", opened in January 2026, has only profile and cover photo updates and no reviews: no active presence [smelio-dental-clinic-fergana-deepen-9] | 0/1 |

| ? | Emergency care Corrected 2026-09-01: previously true because a directory page surfaced under an emergency-dentist query — a search ranking is not evidence of a service. The Golden Pages listing shows 09.00–18.00 hours and no emergency or round-the-clock category. | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Read the clinic's website booking form on 2026-10-01: an online appointment request can be sent for a chosen doctor or service, so a pre-visit request is now recorded. |
| 2026-09-30 | Read the clinic's own Facebook page, opened in January 2026: it carries the clinic's address, phone and website, but has no posts beyond profile and cover photo updates and no reviews. Recorded: no active presence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 93 (was 83) from the Google listing on 2026-09-29. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (home, about, services, contact and employees pages), and on 2026-09-25 its Google listing (default and lowest review sorts). Recorded: no price figures anywhere on the site, whose services page still shows unedited template content; genuine named-staff photos; no WhatsApp/LINE; convenient (weekend) hours from the Google listing since the site does not publish hours; no dedicated service pages; no recurring complaints (the lowest-rated reviews are positive in text). Not found on TripAdvisor. Still unverified: Facebook presence (the footer link is an unfilled placeholder), whether the per-doctor "Book an appointment" flow offers real time selection, emergency care, work with foreign patients, on-site equipment and English-speaking staff. |
