Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
20 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Team page names Dr. Magara, Dr. Kabagambe Edward, Dr. Ngoga Yvan and Dr. Kagoda Michael as dental surgeons and Dr. Kalisa Emmanuel as dental therapist. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each name carries a role (Dental Surgeon / Dental Therapist); no further qualification detail is published. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic’s home page opens on a photograph of its own team — twelve people at the clinic entrance in tunics embroidered with the clinic’s name and logo — rather than on stock imagery. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Nine treatments listed on the homepage, each with its own page. [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, e-mail and street address published on the homepage, in the footer and on the contact page. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [gmp1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published None of the nine service pages, nor the homepage or contact page, carries a price or a price range; the site publishes insurance partners instead. [s1] [s3] | 0/3 |
| ? | Cleaning price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Filling price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Crown price listed | 0/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
10.5 / 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) Read live from the Google place page on 2026-09-10. The star histogram published on the same page is 6 five-star, 2 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star and 0 one-star: it sums to the 8 the page reports and averages 4.75, which reproduces the published rating. [gmp1] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live from the Google place page on 2026-09-10. [gmp1] | 0.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review Google renders on the place page is 2 months old. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews Only 3 reviews dated within the last 24 months were read, none with an owner reply; fewer than ten, so whether the owner answers reviews stays open. [jubilee-dental-clinic-kigali-deepen-9] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints All eight reviews in the base were read in the listing’s review panel. Six are five-star and two four-star, nothing in the base sits below four stars, and no complaint appears in any of them. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Three reviews spread across 2 months, 8 months and 7 years, different wording and accounts. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence Not established: the active page "Jubilee Dental Clinics" belongs to a clinic with a Ugandan phone and its own website, not this Kigali clinic (checked 2026-10-02). | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Jubilee Dental Clinic Kigali" and "Jubilee"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02). [jubilee-dental-clinic-kigali-deepen] [jubilee-dental-clinic-kigali-deepen-2] [jubilee-dental-clinic-kigali-deepen-3] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, RwandaYP or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-02).

| ✓ | Structured data on website schema.org JSON-LD is served on the homepage, but only the generic Organization / WebSite / BreadcrumbList set a WordPress SEO plugin emits — no Dentist or LocalBusiness entity. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality The group's own domains (jubileedentalclinic.com, jubileedentalclinic.rw, kigali.jubileedentalclinic.com) take 8 of the first 12 results for the clinic's own name. [giq1] | 2/2 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Platform presence checked 2026-10-02: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, RwandaYP or Trustpilot; no TripAdvisor listing; Facebook page not identified. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 8 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-11 | Editorial review of the licence column: each registration now shows the registration number the Rwanda Medical and Dental Council register carries for the practitioner, and the description of the register itself - its edition, its size and the name spelling it uses - moved out of the identifier field, where it was printed in full on this page. The register, its edition and the reading remain cited as the source of the number. |
| 2026-09-11 | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google listing, its review panel and its home page (2026-09-11). All eight reviews were read: none carries an owner reply, which settles the reply question left open before, and nothing in the base sits below four stars. The home-page team photograph was checked for the real-photo criterion. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification. Google place page re-read live with its review block this time: rating 4.8, 8 reviews, newest 2 months, and the three reviews shown are exactly the ones the card describes — no owner reply among them, so respondsToReviews stays unset and goes to the manual browser check. Team page, service index and hours re-read on the clinic's own site. RMDC register re-extracted independently: both licence numbers reproduce, KABAGAMBE is absent from the edition entirely and the four NGOGA rows carry no dental qualification. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: homepage, team page, service index and contact page read; live Google place page read for rating, review count, review dates and pin; MMI accredited-dental-clinic panel checked; two of four named dental surgeons found in the RMDC register snapshot; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. Owner replies could not be settled from the place-page record —. |
