Change History

DateChange
2026-10-02Summary and notes now give the Google rating read on 2026-10-02 (5.0 from 401 reviews) in place of an earlier unconfirmed figure, and the address as shown on the clinic website and its Google listing.
2026-10-02Datums that rested on the clinic's SafetyWing Nomad Care Map page (now "page not found") re-read on 2026-10-02 on the clinic's website and Google listing: address, complaints, TripAdvisor, response speed, English and search ranking confirmed; "no suspicious review patterns" and "works with international patients" are now marked unknown.
2026-10-02Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-02: its SafetyWing Nomad Care Map page now answers "page not found", its Hotfrog entry is an unclaimed automatic listing rather than a clinic profile, and no profile was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, MyMediTravel, Erufu Care, Hospital Examiner or Trustpilot; "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no.
2026-09-29Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-19).
2026-09-17Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (homepage/FAQ, contact page, and a blog article) and its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published for cleaning, filling, crowns, consultation or X-ray; a same-day emergency appointment documented on the clinic's blog; no online pre-visit estimate feature; Google 5.0 from 401 reviews, owner replies visible on all readable reviews.
2026-09-10Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 1 dentist confirmed on the clinic's own homepage https://uniquedental.my/; source added.
2026-08-25Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged. Google Maps did not load on 2026-08-25, so no rating/review/coordinate data could be captured this time.
2026-08-25License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered; Dr Low Li Tyng matched, Dr Jerome Tew left unconfirmed (a possible but ambiguous same-premise match exists); no distinct clinic license number is published.
2026-08-25Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dental surgery page: local anaesthesia only; no GA/sedation mentioned.
2026-08-25Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0.
