General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Summary
Achrafieh Dental Clinic is a dental practice in Achrafieh, Beirut, led by Dr. Mona Sayegh Ghoussoub, a past president of the Lebanese Orthodontic Society whom the Lebanese University’s own programme specification for its Master in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (revision of 18 January 2024) lists as a part-time doctor on the department council and as coordinator of that Master programme; the same document names another member of staff as head of the department. The clinic’s English-language website lists services including orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and implantology, prosthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, endodontics and oral surgery, and states it uses CAD/CAM, intraoral scanning, 3D CBCT imaging, and digital X-rays. The clinic publishes opening hours on its site and in its structured data and has a Google listing; no prices or price ranges, and no clinic-specific social media pages, were verifiable from public sources.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
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 [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Real clinic photos Eight of the ten image assets on the site are AI exports with their filenames intact ("ChatGPT Image Aug 26 2026", "ChatGPT Image Aug 27 2026"), covering every image of the premises (reception, waiting area, consultation room, treatment rooms) and the founder’s hero portrait. The wall sign in the reception image, mirrored in the glass partition behind it, reads "ALPHAFETH DENTAL CLINIC" — not the clinic’s name. The clinic’s 2026-08-27 request for a re-crawl stated that the site now carries real photographs; it does not, and it is recorded here as not carrying them. From the images alone a fully synthetic render cannot be told apart from a real photograph re-processed through an AI tool, and this is not evidence about whether the premises exist. The criterion scores zero whether it is unverified or verified absent. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Address and map published Site publishes only 'Achrafieh, Beirut, Lebanon' plus a Google map link; no street address, floor or landmark on the site or in its structured data. [s1] | 0/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
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) as of 2026-09-01 [achrafieh-dental-clinic-refresh] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume all six reviews posted in the week before 2026-09-01; the clinic opened in 2026 [achrafieh-dental-clinic-refresh] | 0.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency [achrafieh-dental-clinic-refresh] | 3/3 |

Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Every call to action opens a WhatsApp thread with a pre-filled, service-specific message ("Book Orthodontic Consultation", "Enquire About Implants", and four more), plus a triage message for patients unsure which specialist they need; the contact route states the team will help schedule the right specialist. There is no form, no online calendar and no cost indication, so the path rests entirely on the WhatsApp handoff (re-crawl 2026-08-27). [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00, Sat 09:00-14:00, Sunday closed - on the page and in JSON-LD. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility

| ✓ | Structured data on website Dentist JSON-LD with telephone, email, opening hours, map link, medical specialties, founder and sameAs; address carries only the locality (no street, no geo), no aggregateRating. No hreflang. Sitemap and all menu links point to 404 pages. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ◐ | Google indexing quality Measured 2026-08-27: the homepage is indexed and ranks for the clinic’s own name and for "orthodontist Achrafieh" and "dental implants Achrafieh"; a site: probe returns the root URL and nothing else, and neither the founder’s name nor "braces Achrafieh Beirut" surfaces the site. [achrafieh-dental-clinic-indexing] | 1/2 |
| ✗ | Dedicated service pages Six service links in the menu and footer (orthodontics, pediatric, implants, prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery) all return 404 - the site is a single page. [s1] [achrafieh-dental-clinic-sitemap] | 0/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-07 | Applied the outstanding results of the 2026-08-27 re-crawl the clinic requested. Pre-visit consultation recorded as available (WhatsApp enquiry paths with pre-filled, service-specific messages and a triage option). Google indexing quality recorded as partial: only the root URL is indexed, the homepage ranks for the clinic’s own name and for two service queries, and the founder’s name does not surface the site. Corrected our own published text about Dr. Mona Sayegh Ghoussoub: the previous wording, "associate professor and head of the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics", rested only on the clinic’s own site and her LinkedIn profile, while the Lebanese University’s programme specification for that Master (revision 18/01/2024) lists her as a part-time doctor on the department council and as the Master coordinator and names Associate Professor Fidel Nabbout as head of department; the summary now follows the university document and cites it, together with an independent conference biography for her past presidency of the Lebanese Orthodontic Society. Clinic photographs: the record was expanded — eight of the ten image assets are AI exports dated 26 and 27 August 2026 and the reception image’s signage reads "ALPHAFETH DENTAL CLINIC", which is not the clinic’s name; the clinic’s request stated the site now carries real photographs, and it is recorded as not carrying them (the criterion scores zero either way). No red flag was raised: the catalogue has no entry covering synthetic imagery, and stretching one to fit would repeat the defect that the 2026-09-07 methodology change removes. All cited sources re-checked 2026-09-07. |
| 2026-09-01 | Re-read of the redesigned website (JavaScript-rendered, read in a browser) following the clinic's 2026-08-27 request for a re-crawl: structured data recorded (Dentist JSON-LD with contact, hours, specialties, map link); opening hours recorded (Mon-Fri 09-18, Sat 09-14). Verified on the single page: no emergency care, no sedation, no prices, no street address (locality only). Service pages: every menu, footer and sitemap link (services, six specialties, contact, profile, technology) returns 404 - dedicated service pages recorded as absent. Clinic photos: reception, waiting area and two treatment rooms are AI-generated image files; recorded as not real photos. Price criterion applied identically to all 18 listed Beirut clinics (none publishes prices or ranges). Google listing found and recorded: 5.0 from 6 reviews, all posted in the last week. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; LDA dentists registry is blocked (HTTP 403, Cloudflare) so Dr. Mona Sayegh Ghoussoub's license is null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website (achrafiehdentalclinic.com) live and phone unchanged; recorded a more specific address ('next to Lala Chicken, 7th floor') found via its Google Maps listing, refining the previously generic 'Achrafieh, Beirut' entry. Clinic is open on Maps but has 0 Google reviews yet, so no rating/review-count is available. Its own site is JavaScript-heavy and its anaesthesia/sedation info could not be retrieved. |
