Reputation & Reviews
17 / 20
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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-05: 581 five-star, 35 four-star, 3 three-star, 4 two-star, 8 one-star. The buckets sum to 631, matching the 631 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.865 reproduces the published 4.9. [gmp1] | 6/6 |

| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews No owner reply appears under any visible review. Sample: the 10 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 0/2 |

| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of wording and dates, and reviewer-account variety show no sign of manipulation. Sample: the 10 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Page 'Smile360 Dental Specialists', 43K followers, recommended by 92% across 84 reviews, lists both Lagos and Abuja, links smile360ng.com. Most recent post 59 minutes before the check. [fbp1] | 1/1 |
