Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic website (homepage, sitemap and service pages): structured data found. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's website on 2026-09-30: the dentist listing now rests on its About page, which names Dr. Plam Ivanova; the summary no longer names a second dentist taken from a directory profile. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-25). |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10 (browser): 'Dr. Tetyana Dalakova' appears nowhere on the clinic’s own site (six pages read in both languages on 2026-09-10, which name only Dr. Plam Ivanova), and the BZS national register, read in a real browser on 2026-09-10 with a passing positive control, records Dr. Tatyana Petrovna Dalakova (LPK 030012026, active membership) at a different Varna practice — Varna, ul. "Roza" 29A — and not at this clinic’s address in the Chaika district; removed, and the LPK number recorded here leaves the card with her. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.6 (167 reviews, previously unset). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged. Captured Google Maps profile link and pin coordinates via the site's own Maps link; the Maps page itself did not render a rating/review count via fetch, and no readable copy was found, so those remain unset. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: LZIBPH clinic registration 030611200499 confirmed via a legal-form-prefix match to the clinic's own documented company abbreviation (AIPPMPDM). Dr. Tetyana Dalakova found in BZS under the standard Bulgarian spelling 'Tatyana' (LPK 030012026, Varna). Dr. Plam Ivanova left null — the given name is unusual/ambiguous and the surname (Ivanova) is too common to isolate without it. |
