Reputation & Reviews

| ✓ | No recurring complaints The lowest-rated Google reviews read four different matters (no reply to a pre-visit message, work that had to be redone elsewhere, an endodontic fee that grew at the desk, a whitening that changed nothing); 1–2★ ratings are 4 of 133 (3.0 %), so no complaint repeats.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | The 2026-10-05 indexing reading was withdrawn: it relied on a search tool whose results differ from Google's own; the previous value is restored pending a re-check on Google. |
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality changed from good to partial after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (own site not listed, though indexed). |
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2021-12-02 to 2026-09-20; 4.9 from 133): recurring complaints false. |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five pending Puerto Vallarta queries: present for "best dentist Puerto Vallarta"; not present for "English speaking dentist Puerto Vallarta", "dental implants Puerto Vallarta", "emergency dentist Puerto Vallarta", "Puerto Vallarta dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's homepage (full price list, team and services) and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews). Recorded: cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices all published in pesos; no CBCT, pediatric dentistry or emergency care found; weekday hours until 7 PM, closed at weekends; structured data present; Google reviews answered, including critical ones; no signs of manipulated reviews; not listed on TripAdvisor. Still unverified: whether complaints recur (the few low-rated reviews each describe a different issue). |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. boca-oficina-dental-doclic [https://cedulaprofesional.sep.gob.mx/cedula/presidencia/indexAvanzada.action]: https://cedulaprofesional.sep.gob.mx/cedula/presidencia/indexAvanzada.action (attempt1: getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN cedulaprofesional.sep.gob.mx; attempt2 (+30s): Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: cedulaprofesional.sep.gob.mx:443, timeout: 10000ms), other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Boca Oficina Dental's clinic license and its 5 named doctors' cédulas could not be verified; all left null, none marked false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and phone; refined address with full street details from Maps (was a vague plaza-only stored address); Google rating unchanged at 4.9; captured first review count of 132; added geo coordinates and Maps URL. |
