| ✓ | No recurring complaints The lowest-rated Google reviews read as different matters (a profit-driven feel, an untreated gum condition after a long wait, discomfort after a treatment, falling façade stones in 2020, and one 1★ without text); 1–2★ ratings are 6 of 131 (4.6 %), so no complaint repeats.
