Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Reputation check 2026-10-05 on the clinic's Google listing (10 reviews read): suspicious review patterns no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search for the clinic on 2026-10-02: no TripAdvisor listing. Found the clinic's active Facebook page. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reviews on other platforms re-checked: the 2GIS listing cited earlier does not accept reviews, and there is no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this is now marked no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other platforms set to yes: 2GIS lists Philipou Dental Clinic at Parmenionos 3 with the clinic's number, without reviews yet (checked 2026-10-01). |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes (Instagram) to no. |
| 2026-09-30 | Read the clinic's Instagram profile in full on 2026-09-30 (bio and all 13 posts) and its Google listing's photos. Neither shows a premises or team photo: Instagram is a portfolio of close-up dental-work photos without captions, and the Google listing's only uploaded photo is the clinic's logo. Neither channel lists services or prices, and Instagram offers no booking option. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic’s Google Business Profile — its only web presence is an Instagram page, which could not be read, and its Google photo strip holds a logo graphic rather than a premises or team photo. Recorded: review count now 60; no recurring complaints in the readable reviews. Three of the five readable reviewers have a single review each, which on its own is not enough to record a manipulated review pattern, so that judgement is left open. Still unverified: specializations, real photos, equipment, services offered, pre-visit consultation and service explanations, which live on the clinic’s Instagram page. |
| 2026-09-11 | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 1 of the 5 reviews read carries a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-04-02. |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial data collection for the Cyprus dental directory: verified via Google Maps (Instagram-only web presence), and checked against the Pancypriot Dental Association's public dentist directory. |
