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. Brenda Licon or Dr. Ana Tirado. Clinic already carries published COFEPRIS facility registration numbers 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. For kids needing sedation, clinic arranges hospital admission for general anesthesia; child is fully asleep |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged; captured Google rating 4.9 (235 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Note: Google Maps displays the clinic's phone as +52 664 980 0129, differing from the stored/site-confirmed +52 664 684 7285; kept stored number since the clinic's own site confirms it. Sedation research: clinic's own page states children needing sedation are admitted to hospital for treatment 'under complete sedation' with the child 'completely asleep' (true). |
