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
Family and specialty dental practice in Yeka sub-city, operating since 2014 under Dr. Tamrat H/Michael and now based on the third floor of the Addis International Convention Centre. Its published service list runs from scaling and fillings to root canals, crowns and bridges, implants, orthodontics, veneers and paediatric dentistry. English-language site, Telegram contact, Monday-to-Saturday opening. The clinic does not appear in the February 2025 public extract of Ethiopia's Master Facility Registry at this location, which is consistent with its move to the AICC premises after that snapshot.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
18 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Body read, not just the status code: a live WordPress site with current clinic content (services, about, contact, blog). [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed One dentist named by the clinic itself: "Led by Dr. Tamrat H/Michael" on the About page and in the site-wide footer. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed No qualification, degree or specialisation is stated next to the named dentist anywhere on the site. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The listing photo strip read 2026-09-11 opens on a photograph of the clinic's own reception: a white desk under an illuminated "WISDOM DENTAL CLINIC" sign with a children's mural in the alcove behind it. Visitor-uploaded 2025-07-22, and it matches the AICC premises the site describes. Genuine interior, not stock imagery. [gm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Ten named treatments on the clinic's own Services page. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details The Contact page, re-read 2026-09-11, publishes two telephone numbers as dialable links - +251 909 545 454, the number carried here, and +251 933 644 444 - alongside an e-mail address, a Telegram handle, the street address and opening hours. The clinic's own Facebook page presents the same pair as WhatsApp lines in a service poster of 2026-08-28, so the two channels agree and neither carries a number the other lacks. [s3] [fb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address published with a "View Location" map link. [s3] | 2/2 |
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 Home, Services and Contact pages carry no prices, price ranges or fee list. [s1] [s3] [s4] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s3] | 0/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
14.5 / 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) Read from the live Google place record on 2026-09-10. [gm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume [gm] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Re-read 2026-09-11 from the review records, which carry exact timestamps rather than age strings: the newest of the five reviews shown is dated 2026-06-26, i.e. 77 days old, so the value holds on a measured date rather than on Google's rounded "2 months ago". [gm] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews The place record renders owner replies inline, and does so on four other Ethiopian listings in this directory. Five reviews were read here on 2026-09-11 - the five Google ranks most relevant, dated between 2026-02-11 and 2026-07-06 - and not one carries a reply. Recorded as "does not answer" on that sample; 219 of the 224 reviews are not rendered by the endpoint. [gm] | 0/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints Left unverified deliberately. The star histogram read 2026-09-11 is 6/1/1/5/211, so seven reviews sit below three stars, which is above the threshold at which the criterion ("three or more dated reviews by different authors about the same thing") becomes arithmetically unreachable. None of those seven is among the five reviews the endpoint renders, so no pattern can be confirmed or excluded. [gm] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns 10 Google reviews read (2024-11-06 to 2026-09-29): no burst of five-star ratings (at most 2 on one day), no repeated wording; accounts hold 1-43 reviews, 4 single-review. [wisdom-speciality-dental-clinic-addis-ababa-deepen-9] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Page read in a logged-in browser session on 2026-09-11 and active: 6,700 followers, one page review, and a service poster posted 2026-08-28. It publishes the clinic's full AICC address and links wisdomaddis.com. [fb] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Wisdom Speciality Dental Clinic Addis Ababa" and "Wisdom"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02).

Communication & Service
8.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available Contact page invites patients to "Call, WhatsApp, or visit us"; no click-to-chat link is published, only the phone numbers. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic publishes in English only. [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Appointment form plus an explicit invitation to call or message for a consultation. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Monday to Saturday 08:00-18:00, published on the Contact page and corroborated 2026-09-11 by the clinic's own Google Business Profile, which publishes the same grid with Sunday closed. Saturday opening is what earns the criterion. [s3] [gm] | 1.5/1.5 |
