Журнал изменений
Каждое обновление данных, исправление и изменение методики фиксируется здесь и в истории изменений каждой клиники. Рейтинг обновляется всякий раз, когда меняются исходные публичные данные.
| Дата | Объект | Изменение |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Методика v1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | Методика v1.4.1 | Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes. |

| 2026-09-10 | 디에르치과의원 (DIER Dental Clinic) | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 4 dentists confirmed on the clinic's own roster page https://dier.kr/52; sources added. |
| 2026-09-10 | 디지털아트치과의원 (Digital Art Dental Clinic) | Name-verification manual browser check 2026-09-10 (group 2 of the name lot): the clinic's own medical-team page is built on Imweb and bakes every dentist's name and specialist title into the portrait image, so no crawler could read them and six of the seven dentists carried no source at all. The page was opened in Chrome and the seven captions were read visually. All six unsourced names and their specialisations match the card exactly, so each now cites the roster page; no licence value was touched, since Korea publishes no dentist licence numbers. |
| 2026-09-09 | 뉴욕치과의원 (New York Dental Clinic) | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. The Korean fee table prices "sleep anaesthesia" (the table's own term) at 200,000 won and the clinic's own English site presents the same service as "Conscious Sedation"; on the practice's own wording the patient stays conscious, which does not meet this criterion. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 2026-09-07 | 365 Seoul One Top Dental Clinic | Reputation block written from the live measurement taken on 2026-09-06, which read this clinic’s Google Maps place page but could not write to it: the twin carries no entry in data/research/*.json, so import-research.js left it untouched and the figures stayed in the trail (browser/korea-japan.md, «Open for the gate» item 2). Written now: googleRating 4.9 → 4.9, googleReviewCount 75 → 81 (histogram 76/4/0/0/1 = 81, weighted mean 4.901), respondsToReviews → false. The trail did not measure reviewRecency, recurringComplaints, suspiciousReviewPatterns for this clinic, so those fields are left exactly as it stood. The country twin on korea-dental was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key. |
| 2026-09-07 | 365 Seoul One Top Dental Clinic | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Методика v1.4.0 | Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list. |
| 2026-09-07 | Claire Dental Clinic (클레어치과의원) | Reputation block written from the live measurement taken on 2026-09-06, which read this clinic’s Google Maps place page but could not write to it: the twin carries no entry in data/research/*.json, so import-research.js left it untouched and the figures stayed in the trail (browser/korea-japan.md, «Open for the gate» item 2). Written now: googleRating 5.0 → 5.0, googleReviewCount 181 → 201 (histogram 198/3/0/0/0 = 201, weighted mean 4.985), respondsToReviews → false, reviewRecency → within_3_months, recurringComplaints → false, suspiciousReviewPatterns → false. The country twin on korea-dental was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key. |
| 2026-09-07 | Claire Dental Clinic (클레어치과의원) | Display name changed from «Gangnam Claire Dental Clinic» to «Claire Dental Clinic» followed by the Hangul registered name (Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon) in parentheses, under the methodology's naming rule (name = the form the clinic uses for itself; the Latin alias in parentheses where the clinic publishes one — here inverted, because the registered form is the Korean one). The clinic writes itself «CLAIRE DENTAL CLINIC» in its own English material on clairedental.kr (the /event/ price board and the uid=19 aftercare page, source cl1) and Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon, in Hangul, in its site footer and in the HIRA register (provider code 11598948). «Gangnam» was never part of the clinic’s own name — it is the district, and it stays in the slug, the address and the summary only. The slug gangnam-claire-dental is unchanged, so no URL moves. The English, Korean and Russian summaries already name the clinic by its registered name (Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon) rather than by the old display name and were not edited. |
| 2026-09-07 | Gangnam Dentique Clinic | Reputation block written from the live measurement taken on 2026-09-06, which read this clinic’s Google Maps place page but could not write to it: the twin carries no entry in data/research/*.json, so import-research.js left it untouched and the figures stayed in the trail (browser/korea-japan.md, «Open for the gate» item 2). Written now: googleRating 5.0 → 5.0, googleReviewCount 189 → 193 (histogram 188/2/2/1/0 = 193, weighted mean 4.953), respondsToReviews → true, reviewRecency → within_3_months, recurringComplaints → false, suspiciousReviewPatterns → false. The country twin on korea-dental was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key. |

The country twin on korea-dental was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key. |
| 2026-09-07 | 뉴욕치과의원 (New York Dental Clinic) | Ranking-domain settlement: investigated the candidate surfaced by the indexing-quality check daegudentist.com. Confirmed dead — every path 404s and robots.txt returns a Duda "site not published / no domain assigned" page, i.e. an unpublished website-builder site, not a live clinic channel. contacts.website is unchanged (nydental.kr), independently corroborated by the clinic's own Facebook Links field (source fb1). No relation to the clinic's genuine English site nydentalen.com (source s4). |

| 2026-09-07 | 엘리샤인터내셔널치과의원 (Elisha International Dental Clinic) | Close-out, 2026-09-07: elishadental.com serves an untrusted TLS certificate, so a browser cannot reach it without clicking through a security warning — which is not done. The site was read over plain HTTP with an ordinary client instead, and the three JPEG-only pages behind the four open rows were downloaded and read as images. |
| 2026-09-07 | 원광대학교 대전치과병원 (Wonkwang University Daejeon Dental Hospital) | Close-out, 2026-09-07: the wkudh.ac.kr clinical-department roster, which recorded as not attempted, was read; the hospital does publish a named roster department by department. |
| 2026-09-06 | Claire Dental Clinic (클레어치과의원) | Owner decision: both domains this card's transparency rested on are dead — englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com (source s1) has returned HTTP 404 since 2026-08-25 and seoulsmileveneers.com (source gangnam-claire-dental-linkrot, also the recorded contacts.website) since 2026-09-04, both re-confirmed 404 on 2026-09-06. All 27 criteria fields whose only support was one of those two pages have been set to null rather than left asserting a website that does not exist; the engine treats null more gently than false, so this does not penalise the clinic. Untouched: the HIRA registry line (Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon, provider code 11598948, 4F Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, opening date 2025-12-16), the Google Maps reputation figures and the search-visibility fields, none of which depend on the dead domains. Recorded for the re-capture: the clinic's Google listing publishes a working site, clairedental.kr (HTTP 200 on 2026-09-06), with phone +82 2-555-2879 and address 4F Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu — exactly what HIRA holds, and the landline rather than the mobile the card carries. Nothing was captured from clairedental.kr in this pass; re-shooting the 27 fields from it is a separate, later step. |
| 2026-09-06 | Claire Dental Clinic (클레어치과의원) | 2026-09-06: re-captured 27 fields from live clairedental.kr; website/phone corrected; see E2. Identity confirmed before capture: the site’s footer and JSON-LD give Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon, representative Yuna Kim, 4F Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul and +82-2-555-2879 — the HIRA-registered name, address and landline — and clairedentalkr@gmail.com, the e-mail already on the card; its WhatsApp link carries phone=821055632875, the mobile the card already held. Of the 27 fields nulled on 2026-09-06 because their only sources were two 404 domains, 20 are re-captured true and 7 false; none is left null. contacts.website moved from the dead https://www.seoulsmileveneers.com/ to https://clairedental.kr/; contacts.phone moved from the mobile +82-10-5563-2875 to the published landline +82-2-555-2879 (the mobile stays as contacts.whatsapp, which is exactly what the site’s WhatsApp button dials); contacts.line filled from the footer link. The red flag opaque_prices is removed: /event/?mod=document&uid=18 publishes a standing non-covered fee notice table with 12 priced items (in units of KRW 10,000: resin 8/10/15, ceramic hybrid inlay 24, zirconia crown 40, ceramic crown 60, laminate 55, Osstem BA implant 59), so prices are no longer opaque. Doctor roster re-pointed to the live site: the clinic’s current medical-team page lists Yuna KIM (head director) and Beom Ju Lee (director) in the integrated-dentistry/oral-surgery role. Dr Hyun Kyu Kang, whose only support was the two dead domains, is no longer on the clinic’s published roster and is removed; Gang Baek-ho, also on that page, is a dental technician and is not recorded as a dentist. Sources s1 and gangnam-claire-dental-linkrot are kept and marked DEAD in their supports text; both were re-confirmed HTTP 404 on 2026-09-06. Untouched: licensing.clinicLicense (HIRA), reputation.google*, aiMention_*, googleIndexingQuality and geo. Not evidenced by the site and therefore left as they were: realClinicPhotos, hasXray, hasCBCT, offersSedation, responseSpeed, preConsultationPossible, hasStructuredData, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints, suspiciousReviewPatterns, onTripAdvisor. |

| 2026-09-03 | Методика v1.3.1 | Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries. |

Identified and confirmed the clinic's current live site at https://www.seoulsmileveneers.com/ — it prominently names 'Gangnam Claire Dental Clinic' with matching address (4F, Buil Tower, 507 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu) and matching phone (+82-10-5563-2875); recorded as corrected website. Confirmed via Google Maps ('Keulleeo Chigwa-uiwon' / Claire Dental Clinic, clairedental.kr) that the clinic is open, rating 5.0 (181 reviews), same address/phone; name, address, and phone otherwise unchanged. |

| 2026-08-26 | Claire Dental Clinic (클레어치과의원) | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com (s1, s2) confirmed dead. This clinic already has a different, live, already-correct contacts.website on file (seoulsmileveneers.com) - re-fetched and read directly 2026-08-26, confirms both doctors by name/specialization, address, phone/WhatsApp (exact match), and the full previously-cited service range (implants, orthodontics, oral surgery, pediatric, emergency, English/international service, no published prices, dedicated per-treatment pages). Re-cited 17 of the 19 s1-sourced criteria facts and s2's 2 facts (offersEmergency, dedicatedServicePages) onto seoulsmileveneers.com - no value changes, this is a like-for-like re-verification via an already-recorded alternate domain, not staged as a contacts.website change since that field is already correct. reputation.onFacebook and reputation.onOtherPlatforms (Facebook/other platforms not mentioned on seoulsmileveneers.com) are left unresolved. Added seoulsmileveneers.com as an additional source on both doctors. s2 pruned (no longer cited by anything). s1 NOT pruned: it remains cited via both doctors (union-merge) and the existing redFlag (opaque_prices, which cannot be edited - no delta-v1 write path for redFlags[]). Noted for the record, not staged: Google Maps also surfaces a third live domain, clairedental.kr, for a same-address/phone but more cosmetically-branded "Claire Dental" presentation with a narrower, unconfirmed service list - not used as a source given the material difference from the fuller seoulsmileveneers.com content. |
| 2026-08-26 | Gangnam Dentique Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live at gangnam.dental, name/address/phone unchanged, clinic open (not permanently closed).

The site itself still shows only a placeholder contact form (no real phone published); Google Maps supplied a phone number (+82-2-6404-2875, previously unset) — recorded. Newly captured rating 4.9 (108 reviews, most recent review ~2 months old) with pin coordinates. |
| 2026-08-26 | Seoul Today Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-26, re-checked 2026-08-26 against HIRA (Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service): clinic confirmed as registered Seoul Oneul Chigwa-uiwon at 3F, 63 Dongsong-ro (Samsong-dong), Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, exactly matching the address on file. The prior verified-false call had used the correct Gyeonggi-do/Goyang Deogyang-gu region filter but only tried transliteration-guess name variants; the clinic's actual Korean legal name — a translated rather than transliterated 'Seoul Today', Seoul Oneul Chigwa-uiwon — was found via its own Google Maps listing. No public name-searchable dentist licence register exists in South Korea (lic.mohw.go.kr is document/barcode verification only) — the named doctor left null with that note. |
| 2026-08-25 | 365 Seoul One Top Dental Clinic | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Google reputation not captured — no search route to Google/Maps/Bing/DuckDuckGo/Yandex was available on the date of reading. |
| 2026-08-25 | 365 Seoul One Top Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers oral/inhalation/moderate IV sedation only; deepest state described is patient 'lightly asleep' but monitored, no general anesthesia. |
| 2026-08-25 | Методика v1.3.0 | Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed. |
| 2026-08-25 | Claire Dental Clinic (클레어치과의원) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website https://www.englishspeakingdentistgangnam.com/ returns HTTP 404 on root, /home, and /index.html — site appears dead. No successor site could be identified: Google/Bing/DuckDuckGo/Yandex/Mojeek/Brave/web.archive.org were all blocked, rate-limited, or CAPTCHA-walled on the date of reading. Address, phone, and Google reputation could not be reconfirmed. Operating status unclear pending a working search route. |
| 2026-08-25 | Gangnam Dentique Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live at https://www.gangnam.dental/, name/address/phone unchanged. Google Maps rating/review data not captured — Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Mojeek and Brave search were all blocked or CAPTCHA-walled on the date of reading; no other changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | Gangnam Dentique Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Site sedation page: General Anesthesia - patients 'completely unconscious during the procedure'. |

| 2026-08-25 | Seoul Today Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address unchanged. Site currently displays a placeholder phone number (555-555-5555), clearly not a real contact number, so phone remains unrecorded (stored value already unset). Google reputation not captured — no search route to Google/Maps/Bing/DuckDuckGo/Yandex was available on the date of reading. |
| 2026-08-25 | Seoul Today Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Markets 'sleep implants'/'sleep-system' but explicitly describes conscious sedation with patient 'relaxed and stable', not general anesthesia. |
| 2026-08-23 | Методика v1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
