| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | 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. |

| 2026-09-10 | Carlos Acevedo Odontología | contacts.facebook held the bare handle "doctorcarlosacevedo" with no URL prefix. Opened facebook.com/doctorcarlosacevedo in Chrome on 2026-09-10: the page is "Carlos Acevedo Odontologia" (8.7k followers), lists "Calle 106 No 50-67, Barranquilla, Colombia" and the link carlosacevedo.co -- both matching this card -- and posted 2 days before the check; the handle is expanded to the full URL. |
| 2026-09-10 | Centro de Implantes de la Costa (Dr. Julio Oliver) | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: Julio Oliver González confirmed via own-site page (drjuliooliverdental.com), which is built around and named after him; site uses the shortened form 'Dr. Julio Oliver' throughout. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | Website https://www.clinicacolombianadeimplantes.com has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |

Opened facebook.com/ClinicaDentaSAS in Chrome on 2026-09-10: the page is "Clinica Denta SAS", describes itself as "Clinica Denta Cali" and lists "Carrera 39 # 5A - 51 / Tequendama, Santiago de Cali" -- the Sede Imbanaco address on this card; the handle is expanded to the full URL. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clínica Tascón Odontología | contacts.facebook held the bare handle "clinicatasconodontologia" with no URL prefix. In Chrome on 2026-09-10 that handle redirects to facebook.com/clinicatascon.odontologia, a personal profile (267 friends) of the clinic's director, not the clinic page; a Facebook page search found the clinic's own page at facebook.com/clinicatasconod, which lists "calle 5c# 40-69, Santiago de Cali" (the Sede Tequendama address on this card) and the link clinicatasconodontologia.com (this card's website), so the page URL is written instead of the handle. |

| 2026-09-07 | Clínica Ártica | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | DentiOral | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Methodology v1.4.0 | Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list. |
| 2026-09-03 | Methodology v1.3.1 | Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries. |

| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | Re-verification 2026-08-26: website (https://www.clinicacolombianadeimplantes.com) is DOWN — connection refused on both https and http, tried twice; no successor domain was found. Its Google Maps listing (opened as text, since Maps is JS-only) still lists this same domain, confirms the address unchanged (Dg 75E #33A-160), shows the business as Open, phone +57 316 6900299 (updated from stored +57 604 322 5262, sourced from Maps since the site itself could not be opened), and a first-captured rating of 4.8 (168 reviews). Recommend flagging the site outage for a follow-up check. |

Google Maps could not confirm this business either: a search on its exact address (Calle 3A #35A-56, El Sindicato, Cali) returned two differently-named practices at that address ('Destination Dental by Dr. Juan Fernando Uribe' and 'Dental Tourism Colombia'), and a name-only search matched an unrelated 'dental school' at a different address (Cra. 100 #11-60). No fields or rating were updated — operating status left unclear; recommend manual follow-up. |

| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | Re-verification 2026-08-25 could not be completed for this clinic: https://www.clinicacolombianadeimplantes.com/ (and http:// variant) failed to connect on repeated attempts (DNS resolves to 178.33.196.57, but both port 80 and 443 connections timed out/refused on two independent checks), so the site could not actually be opened. A brief search for closure evidence found none — the business is still referenced as current (unchanged address/phone) across third-party listings and social profiles — but since those pages were not the clinic's own site or Maps and were not directly opened as authoritative sources, no corrections are recorded and operating status is left unclear rather than asserted. Google Maps was also not reachable, so googleRating/reviewCount/geo remain unset. |

ReTHUS (dentist registry) stayed ID-only/unreachable, so all seven doctors' professional licences are null. |

Site (https://www.dientesysonrisa.com/) self-displays a 4.9-star/330-review Google rating matching stored values, but Google Maps itself was not reachable today (browser tool unavailable), so this was not independently re-verified against Maps and no new reputation source was recorded. |

| 2026-08-25 | Methodology v1.3.0 | Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed. |
