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
New Abha Dental Clinic is a Farwaniya practice founded in 2002 by Dr. Waleed Al-ali and Dr. Masouma Al-ghareeb, describing itself as offering digitised X-ray and an on-site laboratory. Both named founding dentists are still credited on a business directory's profile of the clinic.
The clinic's Google listing and a directory listing give +965 2472 6471, the number shown on this card; another business directory gave +965 2472 6470, one digit apart, for the same clinic (same name, same location by the 5th Ring Road and Farwaniya Stadium). The clinic's own domain (newabha.com / newabhakw.com) returned HTTP 502 on every direct fetch attempt (2026-09-02), so site content beyond what the business directory separately confirms could not be verified. Hours published by the business directory (open Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri, closed Wed/Sat/Sun) are unusual for Kuwait, where Friday-Saturday is the standard weekend; this may reflect a directory transcription error rather than the clinic's actual schedule, so hours are not scored.

Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
4 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✗ | Has a working website Corrected: the recorded domain no longer exists in DNS; the other domain on its Google listing does not load [s9] | 0/4 |
| ✗ | Dentist names listed Reversed per owner ruling 2026-09-03 (published = published by the clinic itself). The two founder names came from a third-party business directory (kuwaitlocal.com), which now 403s; the clinic's own site never published a roster page and, as of 2026-09-03, its domain (newabhakw.com) no longer resolves at all. The names stay out of licensing.doctors. [s9] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed No dentist or qualification is published by the clinic: it has no working website or Facebook page, and its Google listing names no dentist. [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-10] [s9] | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Service list published No treatment list: the clinic's domains do not load, it has no Facebook page, and its Google listing (unclaimed) lists none. [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-10] [s9] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone +965 2472 6471 on the clinic's Google listing (unclaimed), the same number as on a directory listing. [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-10] [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
7.5 / 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 [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-3] | 1/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-25 [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-4] | 1/3 |

| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews The Google listing is unclaimed (it offers "Claim this business"), so no owner replies to reviews (read 2026-09-26). [new-abha-dental-clinic-gbp-2026-09-26] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The only negative among the eight visible is a one-star nine years old whose entire text is "new clinic" - no substantive complaint. Nothing repeats. Histogram 10/5/2/1/5 over 23; 4 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 10/5/2/1/5 over 23 - sums exactly to the header count, and 83/23 = 3.61 reproduces the published 3.6. The distribution is broad rather than clustered at five stars, dates span 3 to 12 years, and accounts hold 2 to 239 reviews. Nothing here looks curated. 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 |
| ✗ | Active Facebook presence Facebook searches by its name with the city, by its name with the country and by its phone number found no page of the clinic [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-9] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No listing found [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-2] [new-abha-dental-clinic-deepen-7] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms Its Hospital Examiner page is a directory entry with no reviews. No profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, HeliumDoc; WhatClinic has only the group's Salmiya centre (checked 2026-10-05).

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality measured as poor after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (no website of its own, none listed). |
| 2026-10-05 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the Hospital Examiner page cited before is a directory entry with no reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, HeliumDoc; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's Google listing: phone updated to +965 2472 6471, the number on the listing; no treatment list, no dentist qualification and no English website version are published, as the clinic has no working website or Facebook page; contacts and address now rest on the listing. |
| 2026-09-30 | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city, by its name with the country and by its phone number; none of the searches found a page of the clinic. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no owner replies to reviews: the Google listing is unclaimed. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: newabhakw.com no longer resolves at all (DNS failure, checked twice), and the Google listing was re-read. Recorded: no published prices anywhere reachable, no TripAdvisor listing, and Google Business Profile hours that count as convenient. Google rating 3.6 from 23 reviews, newest review dated 2026-04-06. The listing is unclaimed, so its service categories are not used as documentation. Corrected: the clinic's recorded website domain no longer exists, so it is recorded as having no working website. Everything depending on the clinic’s own site content remains unverified. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns were assessed for the first time (all four were null). Rating and review count re-read and reconciled against the star histogram. |
| 2026-09-03 | Kuwait top-up 2026-09-03: applied owner ruling on "published by the clinic itself" -- dentistNamesListed reversed to false (directory-only names; the clinic's own site never published a roster and its domain no longer resolves). pricesPublished left null: the domain is gone, so there is no own channel to check today. |
| 2026-09-03 | Google rating and review count re-read live in a browser on the Maps place page (3.6 / 23): unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading, which is therefore corroborated as a genuine live read. The gap against the March-2026 third-party copy is six months of real movement, not a stale copy. |
| 2026-09-02 | Live re-verification 2026-09-02: Google rating/review count and geo coordinates recorded from a live Maps place URL; aiVisibility.* recorded from 5 canonical Google search queries for Farwaniya. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Kuwait Dental Transparency & Trust Index. |
