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

Responsavel Tecnico listed as 'Catia Arabela Albuquerque da Costa Reis Pinto Cardoso' (Ordem dos Medicos Dentistas) -- this gives the full name behind clinics.json's 'Dra. Catia'.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: clinic FOUND via ERS (Numero de Registo 107539), which also revealed the full legal name of the clinic's Responsavel Tecnico, 'Catia Arabela Albuquerque da Costa Reis Pinto Cardoso' (worklist only had 'Dra. Catia'). Doctor licenses left null: 'Dr. Rui' has only a first name (OMD requires 2+ words, registry: individual dentists only, unsearchable as-is); OMD searches for 'Catia' combined with 2-3 of her surname components ('Catia Cardoso', 'Catia Pinto Cardoso', 'Catia Reis Pinto Cardoso') returned no single unambiguous exact match among several similarly-surnamed Porto-district dentists (e.g. 'Catia Reis', 'Catia Arcanjo Pinto') -- transliteration/compound-surname ambiguity. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: original worklist website prelada.pt is unreachable (expired SSL certificate); confirmed via Google Maps and direct fetch that the clinic's current live site is https://dentista.com.pt/ (same clinic name, address, and phone), so contacts.website is corrected/moved; recorded full street address (worklist previously had only "Porto, Portugal"); Google review count increased to 155 (was 128), rating unchanged at 4.1; added geo coordinates. |
