Reputation & Reviews
15 / 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 2026-09-29 [sm] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-29 [sm] | 1.5/3 |

| ✓ | No recurring complaints Histogram 1★ 1 / 2★ 0 / 3★ 0 / 4★ 2 / 5★ 65 of 68; the single 1-star review (2019) is an isolated complaint about one dentist's root canal treatment, not a repeated theme. [sm] [sm-lowest] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns No manipulation signal: rating is not 100% five-star (65 of 68), dates span 2019-2026, and reviewer histories range from a single review to 66 reviews (Local Guides included). [sm] [sm-lowest] | 2/2 |
