Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Read the dentist's Facebook page in full for the past year and his Google listing on 2026-10-01: his channels describe aesthetic and restorative work only, with no imaging, surgery, children's or emergency care. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the dentist's Facebook page (contact section, services tab and a year of posts), his Instagram profile and his Google listing on 2026-09-30: service list corrected to not published, as none of them lists the treatments offered; address corrected to Calle 16 #501C, Residencial San Antonio Cucul, as given on the Facebook page and the Google listing (the earlier values came from a directory profile). |
| 2026-09-29 | Read the clinic's Facebook page, its only channel besides Google: about section, photo library and recent posts with comments. Recorded: the dentist's own photo appears on the page; a WhatsApp contact button is offered; no price is published — in a comment reply the dentist tells patients to message him for the cost; booking is by direct message only, with no choice of service or time. Equipment, surgery, pediatric and emergency care, and international-patient documentation remain unverified: the page does not address them. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic has no website; checked its Google Business Profile. Recorded: phone consistent with the stored card, Saturday hours, and a Google rating of 4.9 from 55 reviews with a single low review and no signs of manipulation. The Google profile lists no prices, and there is no clinic website to publish them. Still unverified: the clinic's Instagram and Facebook pages. |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked contacts/Maps; captured first Google rating (5.0, 53 reviews) and phone (+52 999 547 9110) from a Google Business listing 'pedro duran smiledesigner' whose domain matches the stored practice name, but that listing's address (C. 16, San Antonio Cucul, 97113) differs from the stored address (Plaza Town Square, Col. San Ramón, 97138) - possible relocation; left the address field unchanged pending stronger confirmation since the listed website (pedroduransmiledesigner.com) fails to resolve (DNS error) and could not corroborate; pruned uncited source s2 (topdoctors.mx doctor page, HTTP 404 - dead, consistent with the existing licensing note that both TopDoctors pages for this clinic now 404); visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no qualifying new independent source found today - this practice has no working own website to anchor further verification. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: both unreachable/non-functional today, and this practice's prior TopDoctors.mx source pages now 404. No clinic or doctor license found or ruled false for Odont. Pedro Durán Sosa; recorded null. |
