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.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

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 2026-08-26 (Seminyak Oberoi branch, Jl. Kayu Aya No.40, matching the stored flagship address); unchanged from the stored aggregate value. A single canonical /maps/place/ URL with pin coordinates could not be isolated because Maps treats this multi-branch chain name as an ambiguous multi-result search - the cited URL is the live Google Maps results view showing this branch's place card directly [so-smile-teeth-whitening-deepen] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Seminyak Oberoi (flagship) branch specifically; stored 3,000 figure was a network-wide aggregate from the clinic's own site, not superseded here [so-smile-teeth-whitening-deepen] | 3/3 |
