5 qualified complaint incidents
1 serious (S3) · 0 critical (S4). Classified from third-party negative reviews under methodology v1.1 via structured, software-assisted collection and reviewed against the cited evidence by a named GDC-registered reviewer before publication.
The patient reported a grievance that was resolved after three months of suffering.
The patient reported poor treatment causing significant pain, lack of professionalism, and no corrective solutions offered.
The patient reported poorly placed implants causing gaps, loose teeth, jaw pain, and bruxism, with unresponsive aftercare and unhonored guarantee.
The patient reported that after their doctor left, the clinic stopped providing care and did not respond to contact attempts despite payments being made.
The patient reported being quoted 130,000 for extraction of healthy teeth, but another dentist saved the teeth for 60,000.
Every criterion is scored from public sources. ✓ verified · ✗ not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
