Reputation & Reviews
15.5 / 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) as of 2026-09-25 [al-hekma-dental-center-farwaniya-deepen] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-25 [al-hekma-dental-center-farwaniya-deepen-11] | 1.5/3 |

| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to 1 of the 8 reviews visible on the Reviews tab. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. A newest-first sort could not be applied, so the sample is in Google's relevance order. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints One negative among the eight visible: a one-star four years old about "the female doctor in Mirgab" behaving rudely - a complaint about the chain's Murqab branch, not this one, and the same reviewer posted it on the Murqab listing too. Nothing repeats. Histogram 73/1/0/2/7 over 83; relevance order under-represents the negative tail and 6 further one-star reviews were not surfaced. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. A newest-first sort could not be applied, so the sample is in Google's relevance order. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram 73/1/0/2/7 over 83 - sums exactly to the header count, and 380/83 = 4.578 reproduces the published 4.6. The 7 one-star and 2 two-star blocks stand unremoved, dates span 5 months to 8 years, wording is individual and names different dentists (Dr. Abraham, Dr. Laiju Zacharia, Dr. George Menacherry), and accounts hold 3 to 57 reviews. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. A newest-first sort could not be applied, so the sample is in Google's relevance order. [s3] | 2/2 |
