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

Multi-dentist practice in central Jerusalem (Keren Hayesod / Talbieh area) founded by Dr Stephen Kurer, BDS, with Dr Jacob Jackson (restorative/endodontics/prosthodontics) and Dr Dina Eidlitz (endodontics) also on staff.

The card previously recorded that no clinic website existed. It does: kjjdentaloffice.co.il is published on the clinic’s own Google Maps listing, was opened on 2026-09-02, and carries an English version, a thirteen-dentist team page, a service list, published hours and an emergency line — so the "no website" reading, taken from the WhatClinic profile alone, was wrong. The same site is also the web presence of the neighbouring Prof. Yankel and Dr Alice Gabet practice at Keren Hayesod 29a, which has its own Maps listing, phone and rating. Licensing: the MOH register lists Dr Kurer under a variant Hebrew spelling of his surname with one extra letter (not the expected spelling), licence 2-7781 issued 12/03/1996, registered city Jerusalem; Dr Jackson as "Jackson Jacob" 2-6839; Dr Eidlitz as "Eidlitz Dina Bracha" 2-8862 with an endodontics certificate, which matches the specialisation the profile states. Google Maps re-read 2026-09-02: 4.9 from 855 reviews at Keren HaYesod St 29, 9418817 — unchanged.

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 Price sweep 2026-09-03: kjjdentaloffice.co.il re-checked directly (own site, s3) — no price-list page or figures found; confirms the prior WhatClinic-based null finding. [s2] [s3] 0/3

Reputation & Reviews

19.5 / 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 4.9. [sm] 6/6
✓ Google review volume Corrected on a live re-read 2026-09-03: the place header and the histogram sum both give 856 (the card carried 855) - the drift a day of real traffic produces. [sm] 3/3
✓ Review recency Newest review visible on the place page's Reviews tab is 2 months 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 replies to Google reviews: 3 of the 10 reviews read carry an owner reply, the latest dated 2025-11-11. [kj-dental-kurer-jerusalem-deepen-26] 2/2
✓ No recurring complaints No negative surfaced among the eight visible. Histogram 833/11/1/1/10 over 856; 10 one-star reviews were not surfaced, so this is a "none seen in the sample", not a clean bill. 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 833/11/1/1/10 over 856 - sums exactly to the header count, and 4,224/856 = 4.935 reproduces the published 4.9. The 10 one-star, 1 two-star and 1 three-star blocks stand unremoved, wording is individual and names three different clinicians (Cippora, Dr. Stephen Kurer, hygienist Hadas Goldman), and accounts hold 1 to 19 reviews. Recorded rather than hidden: all eight visible reviews fall within a five-month band - the expected relevance bias on a listing of this size, not a burst. 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 in the site footer [kj-dental-kurer-jerusalem-deepen-15] 1/1
