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

Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Home, about, treatments, diaspora-vip, treatment-savings and service pages checked: no amounts beyond a schema.org "$$" price range and a 500 ETB patient-card fee; prices are quoted after examination. [s1] [s2] [s3] [s4] [s5] [s6] [s7] [s8] [s9] [s10] | 0/3 |

Reputation & Reviews
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) as of 2026-09-29 [gm] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-29 [gm] | 1/3 |

| ✓ | No recurring complaints No recurring complaints. Star histogram read 2026-09-29 is 1/0/0/0/43; the only review below five stars (one star, January 2019) reads "Great place," - positive, not a complaint. [gm] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | No suspicious review patterns Two signs on a base of 44 (read 2026-09-29): bursts - 8 reviews dated 1-11 July 2026 and 5 dated 24-27 September 2026 - and single-review accounts behind 8 of those 13; two September reviews repeat identical text. [gm] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Live Facebook page "GreenLife speciality Dental Clinic", newest post 2026-08-03; it matches the clinic's own contact details (checked 2026-10-02). [green-life-specialty-dental-clinic-addis-ababa-deepen-6] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence TripAdvisor's own TypeAheadJson search for "Green Life Specialty Dental Clinic" returns no matching listing (only unrelated hotels and attractions with "Green Life" in the name); no TripAdvisor link appears on the clinic's own site. [ta] [s1] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms TripAdvisor confirmed absent (see onTripAdvisor), and no link to any other review platform (WhatClinic, Trustpilot, Doctoralia, Zocdoc, Yelp) appears on the clinic's own site, which links only WhatsApp and Telegram. [ta] [s1] | 0/0.5 |

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: Listed as an approved health facility in Ethiopia's Master Facility Registry (Ministry of Health), facility Id 1030482, registered name "Green Life Specialty Clinic", type Specialty Clinic, Bole sub-city, kebele 3, Addis Ababa, status Approved, as of the 20 February 2025 public extract (Matched on location: the register's coordinates (9.0013496, 38.7795055) sit about 20 m from this clinic's Google-mapped location, in the same Bole sub-city; the register's name omits "Dental", a naming variance rather than a different facility. The Master Facility Registry carries no licence number and no expiry date, so none is claimed.) [mfr] [gm]
Dentists & professional licences
| Dentist | Specialization | Licence No. |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Robera Chala [s2] | DMD; Assistant Professor; Senior Dental Surgeon and clinic managing director | not verified |
Dentists are named; their licence numbers have not been checked against public sources yet — unverified, no penalty.
Red Flags
- medium Suspicious review patterns (-5 pts) — At least 13 of the clinic's 44 Google reviews fall in two short windows: eight dated 1-11 July 2026 and five dated 24-27 September 2026. Eight of those 13 come from accounts with a single review in their history, and two September reviews from different accounts carry the identical text "Nice green life dental clinic". 43 of the 44 reviews are five-star; the only exception is a 2019 one-star review whose text is positive. Several longer reviews describe specific treatments and name the treating dentist. [gm]
Red-flag penalty applied: -5 points (capped at -20).
