| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-15). |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the four pending Tijuana queries: present for "English speaking dentist Tijuana"; not present for "best dentist Tijuana", "dental implants Tijuana", "Tijuana dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: The fillings, crowns, implant, exams and X-ray pages, plus the appointment form, re-read in English and Spanish; No filling, crown or implant price found on their dedicated pages; Cone beam CT (3D) imaging described on the exams and X-rays page; No WhatsApp/LINE contact found; the appointment form has no service or time selection; Saturday hours confirmed; Structured business data present; Google 4.9 from 236 reviews with owner replies; recurring complaints recorded about being overcharged. |
| 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). |
