General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
20 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Page-specific "Our Professional Team" section for the Port Harcourt branch (not a shared company-wide roster). [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Dr Augustine Abinamah Ichuke (Dental Surgeon), Dr Blessing Omokri (General Dentist/Pediatrics), Dr. Uduak Anselem E. (General Dentist), Dr Melvin Offiong (Cosmetic Dentist), Dr Ezije Chidiogo Obidike (General Dentist). [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Google listing photo strip shows the branch's own branded waiting area [zoom36-dental-care-portharcourt-deepen] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Branch phone (0803 987 1001), branch e-mail and the GRA street address are published on the branch page and repeated in the site footer. Reader caution recorded 2026-09-04: the same page’s three-column contact widget also carries an unedited theme placeholder - "6391 Elgin St. Celina, Delaware 10299, (208) 555-0112" - and a Lagos address that belongs to a different brand; neither was used for any field on this card, whose address and phone come from the Port Harcourt column and the footer, which agree with each other.

Reputation & Reviews
19 / 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: 1598 five-star, 135 four-star, 20 three-star, 1 two-star, 11 one-star.

| ✓ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-05 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 2 months old, which proves the within-3-months bucket and no better. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Owner replied to two of the three visible reviews. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No repeated complaint theme appears in the visible sample. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of wording and dates, and reviewer-account variety show no sign of manipulation. Sample: the 3 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 "Zoom36 Dental Care PH", 2.4K followers; its most recent post was about a month before the check of 2026-09-05. [zoom36-dental-care-portharcourt-g6] | 1/1 |
