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.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Markets 'sleep implants'/'sleep-system' but explicitly describes conscious sedation with patient 'relaxed and stable', not general anesthesia. [s1]
Summary
English-speaking dental clinic marketed to Seoul-area foreigners but physically located in Goyang-si (Gyeonggi-do), near Samsong Station Exit 3. Offers implants, orthodontics, pediatric, emergency, oral surgery, cosmetic, periodontal and prosthodontic care. Led by Dr. Yuho Doh (Seoul National University; Johns Hopkins background).
Despite 'Seoul' branding, the address is in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do (Seoul metropolitan area), not within Seoul city limits. The listed phone number appeared to be a placeholder.

Reputation & Reviews
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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06 from the place page: 111 five-star, 4 four-star, 3 three-star, 0 two-star, 2 one-star. The buckets sum to 120, matching the 120 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.850 reproduces the published 4.9. [gmp1] | 6/6 |

| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replied to all three reviews Google renders. One of them names Dr. Doh. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. [gmp1] | 2/2 |

| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The 111/4/3/0/2 spread carries reviews in four of the five buckets including two one-star ones, and nothing in the visible sample repeats a wording or a date cluster, so no manipulation signature is present. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. [gmp1] | 2/2 |

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: Seoul Today Dental Clinic — HIRA-registered dental clinic (Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service detailed-condition institution finder), Gyeonggi-do, Goyang-si, Deogyang-gu, Dongsong-ro 63, 3rd floor (Samsong-dong) (Re-checked 2026-08-26: the prior search tried 5 name/keyword variants, typed in Hangul — 'Seoul Tudei', 'Tudei', 'Dongsong-ro', 'Samsong', 'Dentiseuteu Koria' (Dentist Korea) — under the correct region (Gyeonggi / Goyang Deogyang-gu) but missed the clinic's actual registered Korean name. The clinic's own Google Maps listing gives that name as 'Seoul Oneul Chigwa-uiwon' (a translated 'Seoul-Today', not the phonetic-loanword transliteration 'Seoul Tudei' originally tried). HIRA detailed-criteria institution search (region = Gyeonggi, district = Goyang Deogyang-gu, type = dental clinic): searched 'Seoul Oneul' — 1 result, address (63 Dongsong-ro, 3F, Samsong-dong) matches clinics.json's '3F, 63 Dongsong-ro, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do' exactly. Supersedes the prior verified-false determination.) [seoul-today-dental-lic]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's website HTML on 2026-10-02: structured data: absent. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 127 (was 120) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-07 | Reputation block written from the live measurement taken on 2026-09-06, which read this clinic’s Google Maps place page but could not write to it: the twin carries no entry in data/research/*.json, so import-research.js left it untouched and the figures stayed in the trail (browser/korea-japan.md, «Open for the gate» item 2). Written now: googleRating 4.9 → 4.9, googleReviewCount 108 → 120 (histogram 111/4/3/0/2 = 120, weighted mean 4.850), respondsToReviews → true, reviewRecency → within_3_months, recurringComplaints → false, suspiciousReviewPatterns → false. The country twin on korea-dental was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key. |
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26, re-checked 2026-08-26 against HIRA (Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service): clinic confirmed as registered Seoul Oneul Chigwa-uiwon at 3F, 63 Dongsong-ro (Samsong-dong), Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, exactly matching the address on file. The prior verified-false call had used the correct Gyeonggi-do/Goyang Deogyang-gu region filter but only tried transliteration-guess name variants; the clinic's actual Korean legal name — a translated rather than transliterated 'Seoul Today', Seoul Oneul Chigwa-uiwon — was found via its own Google Maps listing. No public name-searchable dentist licence register exists in South Korea (lic.mohw.go.kr is document/barcode verification only) — the named doctor left null with that note. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live at dentistskorea.com, name/address unchanged, clinic open. The site itself still shows only a placeholder contact form (no real phone published); Google Maps supplied a phone number (+82-2-6404-2875, previously unset) — recorded. Newly captured rating 4.9 (108 reviews, most recent review ~2 months old) with pin coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Markets 'sleep implants'/'sleep-system' but explicitly describes conscious sedation with patient 'relaxed and stable', not general anesthesia. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address unchanged. Site currently displays a placeholder phone number (555-555-5555), clearly not a real contact number, so phone remains unrecorded (stored value already unset). Google reputation not captured — no search route to Google, Maps, Bing, DuckDuckGo or Yandex was available on the date of reading. |
