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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26 against RNP (dentist-scope registry): confirmed unreachable/non-functional today (ECONNREFUSED / 20s timeout), so no search could be executed for Dr. Edgar Montano. Clinic already carries a published clinic license + COFEPRIS number on file, so the clinicLicense lookup was skipped per instructions. No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Offers general anesthesia as an option distinct from its conscious IV sedation |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.1 (64 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Sedation research: clinic's own pre-op page distinguishes IV sedation ('not unconscious') from a separate general-anesthesia option ('procedure with IV sedation or with general anesthesia'), so general anesthesia is offered (true). |
