General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Reputation & Reviews
10 / 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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Searched TripAdvisor on 2026-10-01 for the clinic by its name and checked its website: no TripAdvisor listing, so TripAdvisor presence is recorded as absent. |
| 2026-09-30 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked on 2026-09-30 against WhatClinic and Dental Departures: no profile on either, so it is now recorded as absent; the earlier value had no platform behind it. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's shared price list and pages (with the Ljubljana branch) and its own Google listing. Recorded: named specialists and genuine photography; cleaning, filling, crown, implant, X-ray and CBCT prices; a free first exam; no WhatsApp/LINE; no documented emergency service; hours to 20:00 Tuesday-Wednesday; Facebook presence, structured data and dedicated pages. Google rating 4.7 from 16 reviews, newest review 2025-11-25, no recurring complaints. The review pattern is left unrecorded: four of the five readable reviews were posted within two days of each other in February 2023, by accounts with a single review each. |
| 2026-09-10 | A later pass 2026-09-10: the recorded location URL is dead (404, site restructured its /locations/ paths to /ordinacije/); re-confirmed Gordana Čižmek and the clinic's continued operation at the corrected live URL https://orthodental.si/ordinacije/ordinacija-celje/; source added (contacts.website left untouched — out of this lot's scope, flagged for the linkrot workstream in the report). |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial data collection for the Slovenia Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via orthodental.si, Google Maps, and the Zdravniška zbornica Slovenije public dentist register. Gordana Čižmek is the chain’s named professional director; the Celje location page itself does not name a branch-specific dentist. |
