Reputation & Reviews
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) Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged, and the published rating reproduces from the star histogram 1141/35/2/1/9 (5*->1*). [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Read live on the Google Maps place page 2026-09-03; the star histogram 1141/35/2/1/9 (5*->1*) on the same page sums to 1188. The 1187 recorded on 2026-09-02 is superseded. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest visible review dated "a month ago". Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 1141/35/2/1/9 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews 8 of the 8 visible reviews carry a published reply from the owner. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 1141/35/2/1/9 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No complaint appears among the eight visible reviews. The histogram carries 9 one-star, 1 two-star and 2 three-star reviews that the relevance-ordered preview did not surface, so this is a negative finding on the visible sample rather than an audit of all 1,188. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 1141/35/2/1/9 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The distribution retains 9 one-star, 1 two-star, 2 three-star and 35 four-star reviews of 1,188, the visible reviews span one to seven months, wording is individual and names four different dentists (Dr. Mini, Dr. Harsha V.S, Dr. Fatima Shifa and others), and reviewer accounts run from 1 to 8 reviews. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 1141/35/2/1/9 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03.
