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.

Summary

Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No specific prices or price ranges shown on the site. Price sweep 2026-09-03: homepage (drmeytal.com) checked directly for a dedicated prices/price-list page and price-related links (the Hebrew "mechir" and "price") — none found; no promotional pricing either.

Reputation & Reviews
17.5 / 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) Re-read live 2026-09-03 and reconciled against the star histogram, which sums exactly to the review count in the place header. Unchanged at 5. [sm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Re-read live 2026-09-03; reproduces to the digit and equals the histogram sum. [sm] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest review visible on the place page's Reviews tab is 1 month old. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. The sample is in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. The bucket is therefore no better than the page proves. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to 5 of the 8 reviews visible on the Reviews tab. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. The sample is in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No negative review exists - the histogram is 81 five-star entries and nothing else. There is nothing to record as a pattern. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. The sample is in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram 81/0/0/0/0 over 81 - a genuine wall, published with the facts rather than as a clean bill. Against reading it as manipulation: the eight visible reviews span 1 month to 5 years, so there is no burst at any granularity Maps exposes; the wording is individual and detailed (a patient who came to Israel specifically for an implant, a replaced crown, a wisdom-tooth follow-up, "Dr Meytal speaks perfect [English]"); accounts hold 1 to 61 reviews; and the owner replies to five of the eight. A single-dentist practice holding a clean 5.0 over 81 reviews is ordinary rather than remarkable, and the distribution is published so a reader can weigh it. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. The sample is in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page linked on the site [dental-studio-tlv-telaviv-deepen-14] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found; not referenced on the site [dental-studio-tlv-telaviv-deepen-2] [dental-studio-tlv-telaviv-deepen-15] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms Two independent negatives: absent from the WhatClinic Tel Aviv directory, and no review-platform link on the clinic's own site [dental-studio-tlv-telaviv-deepen-3] [dental-studio-tlv-telaviv-deepen-16] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
