2026-09-30Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-30 with the five canonical Yerevan queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five.
2026-09-25Corrected: the clinic now operates as Dashtoyan Dental Clinic (formerly GDC), so the entry carries its current name and its current website dashtoyan.clinic. Re-read the current website (about us, dental clinic section, implantology, endodontics, orthodontics, medical tourism, contact). Recorded: CBCT imaging (Planmeca G7), dentistry under sedation, a medical tourism service for visiting patients and schema.org markup; hours Monday-Saturday 10:00-20:00. The price list remains on the clinic's older GDC website, which is still online.
2026-09-25Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic’s price list, equipment, services, free-consultation and contact pages, the clinic’s current website dashtoyan.clinic (home, pediatric dentistry, contact) and its Google listing, which carries its current name, Dashtoyan Dental Clinic, at the same address and phone. Recorded: cleaning, filling, crown and implant prices published in AMD; consultation free and includes an intraoral X-ray; pediatric dentistry offered; appointments by phone, no WhatsApp link; Saturday hours to 20:00; Google 4.1 from 28 reviews, newest 2026-07-13; several reviews describe failed fillings or re-treatment; no signs of review manipulation; no TripAdvisor listing. Corrected: named dentists are listed on the clinic’s current website. Still unverified: CBCT and structured data on the current website, same-day/emergency care, foreign-patient services, owner replies to reviews.
2026-08-26Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts (open, unchanged); no clean Google Business Profile found under the GDC name itself (a same-phone/address listing exists as "Dashtoyan Dental Clinic" but never resolved to a policy-compliant place URL, so googleRating left unrecorded); added Facebook + 2GIS as 2 new external sources; visibility scout 5 queries (1 true, with caveat noted).
