How RatedDocs is different
Most sites sell a city, a clinic, or an ad. We list a person who passed six checks. If they fail, they are not on the site.
| RatedDocs | Typical directories & agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Who is listed | The individual dentist who will sit at the chair. | Usually a clinic brand, a sales desk, or a city package. |
| What “verified” means | Six files. All pass, or they are not listed. No 98. | Often a paid badge, a star average, or a form they filled themselves. |
| Who pays for the check | The dentist pays a review seat after they apply. The fee does not buy a pass. | Clinics often pay to be featured. That is advertising. |
| Before you fly | A 15-minute video consultation with that dentist. Then a written quote. | Often a coordinator. You may not meet the dentist until you land. |
| If the price jumps | If the exam quote is more than 15% above the first written quote, the hold comes back. | Surprise add-ons after you are already in the chair are common in public complaints. |
| If treatment fails at home | We check that a written warranty exists. We do not treat you, and we are not liable for the clinical result. | Recourse in another country is often thin. The Ontario Dental Association says guarantees may be meaningless for a non-resident. |
Bookimed, PlacidWay, WhatClinic, and Google reviews can still be useful reading. They are not a substitute for a licence check on the named dentist. We do not treat you. We do not promise a clinical result.
