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
Maxillofacial-surgery-led dental clinic in Maafannu, Malé, licensed by the Ministry of Health since August 2021 and operated by Mediflex Private Limited, which also holds a separate licence for Mediflex Laboratories at M. Cottage. The ministry's live establishments directory records 15 registered practising professionals at this address — the largest dental team it records at any Malé address, and the second largest of the 27 dental establishments on its roll, behind the 22 at Dental Studio in Hulhumalé. Its Google rating is 4.8 on 20 reviews — below the 4.9 that three other Malé clinics in this index share — and its domain mediflex.mv answers nothing at all: eight probes across two hosts, two ports and two networks, the last of them from a real browser on 2026-09-10, every one of them a connection timeout rather than a 404 or a bot challenge.

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
2 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✗ | Has a working website Mediflex.mv is the clinic's own domain — it is the e-mail domain in both ministry registers — but on 2026-09-10 it answered nothing: https://mediflex.mv/, https://www.mediflex.mv/ and http://mediflex.mv/ each ended in a TCP connect timeout on ports 443 and 80. Not a 404 and not a bot challenge: no connection was established at all. Re-probed three more times the same day by the verification pass, from the same two ports and both hosts, with the same connect timeout. The clinic's Google place lists no website either. Queued for a manual browser check in case the failure is specific to this network path. Re-tested in a real browser on 2026-09-10 from a different network path: https://mediflex.mv/ still ends in ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT — no response body, no 404 and no bot challenge. Eight probes now agree the domain does not answer at all. [s1] | 0/4 |
| ? | Dentist names listed No readable clinic-owned channel was found: the website does not answer and no clinic-run social profile was identified. Nothing was checked, so this is unset rather than a denial. | 0/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ? | Service list published | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details The address is consistent across the HEMS directory, the 23.07.2026 ministry list and the Google place record. The phone is not: both ministry sources carry 3000663 (re-read live on 2026-09-10), while the clinic's own Google place publishes +960 721-2440. Both are published contact routes for the same address; the register number is the one recorded here. [reg1] [reg2] [sm] | 2/2 |

| ? | Address and map published | 0/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15

Reputation & Reviews
11 / 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) as of 2026-09-10 [sm] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-26; previously 20 [mediflex-dental-maxillofacial-male-gbp-2026-09-26] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review rendered on the place page on 2026-09-10 is one month old, five stars and written in the first person. Read in a browser; this is a floor, since Google renders its most-relevant sample rather than the newest reviews. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews 12 reviews were read (9 from the last 24 months) and none has an owner reply, but fewer than 10 reviews from the last 24 months could be read, too few to record that the owner does not reply. [mediflex-dental-maxillofacial-male-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram read on 2026-09-10 leaves one one-star review and no two-star reviews out of twenty, so three dated complaints about the same thing cannot exist. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Four five-star reviews fall within three days (2026-09-12 to 2026-09-14), but nothing else among the 12 reviews read points to manipulation, so no pattern is recorded. [mediflex-dental-maxillofacial-male-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page "Mediflex Dental & Maxillofacial Surgery" (3,877 followers) with posts up to 2026-09-29, found under the clinic's name; its About section gives the clinic's M. Maaya address. [mediflex-dental-maxillofacial-male-presence] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Mediflex Dental Male" and "Mediflex Maldives"; the clinic has no website that could link one (checked 2026-10-02). [mediflex-dental-maxillofacial-male-tripadvisor] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, and none of them lists any clinic in the Maldives (checked 2026-10-01).

The clinic has no reachable website (mediflex.mv answers nothing), so the Business Profile is its only channel that publishes a week. [sm] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility

Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Maldives", "English speaking dentist Maldives", "dental implants Maldives", "emergency dentist Maldives", "Maldives dental clinic for expats".

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: PVT-ASC-21-006-00 (Ministry of Health operating licence PVT-ASC-21-006-00, facility registration number HF-21/ALP/PVT/600, level Area Specific Clinic, licensee Mediflex Private Limited, 15 registered practising professionals. Read live on 2026-09-10 from the ministry's HEMS Registered Health Establishments directory. The ministry's "Operating Private Health Facilities" list, in the edition stamped "Last updated on 23.07.2026", carries the same registration number against the older licence code PVT-SC-21-006-00 issued 16 August 2021; the live directory is the newer of the two readings.)

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-02: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Facebook presence re-checked on 2026-10-02: live Facebook page confirmed. |
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-read: WhatClinic, Dental Departures and Bookimed list no clinic in the Maldives and have no profile for this clinic, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies; review count 24 (was 20) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-10 | Editorial gate, 2026-09-10: the summary claimed the largest dental team in the country, which contradicted the licence note on the Dental Studio card recording 22 registered professionals there against 15 here. All 27 dental establishments on the ministry roll were re-read on 2026-09-10 and the claim was rewritten to what the register actually supports. |
| 2026-09-10 | Editorial gate, 2026-09-10: convenientHours normalised across the country under one written rule. The criterion is scored from the week the clinic itself publishes — on its own site where it publishes one, and otherwise on its own Google Business Profile, which the methodology counts as a channel of the clinic. `true` where the published week gives evening cover on the Saturday-Thursday Maldivian working week; Friday, the weekend day, being closed does not on its own make a week inconvenient. `null` only where no week is published on any channel of the clinic's own, or where the only week published belongs to a wider facility and cannot be attributed to its dental unit. The week recorded in the criterion note was read live from the place-detail record behind the clinic's own Google place page on 2026-09-10. |
| 2026-09-10 | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the clinic's own Google place page opened in a real browser — star histogram read from the review-summary bars and reconciled against the published count and rating, the eight most-relevant reviews read for owner replies, recency and complaint patterns; the Ministry of Health HEMS establishment record expanded to read its practising-professionals panel, which renders client-side and names each practitioner with a registration number and a practising licence number; website pages that only render client-side opened and read. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification (no browser, no web search): the Google rating, coordinates and place identity were re-read from an independent, direct read of the Google listing and matched the earlier reading to the digit on all fourteen cards; the review count was added from the place-detail endpoint, which the earlier pass could not reach; the operating licence, registration number, licensee and professional count were re-read live from the ministry's HEMS directory; every cited non-search URL was re-fetched for liveness. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: licence, licensee, level and professional count read from the Ministry of Health HEMS live establishments directory and cross-checked against the ministry's 23.07.2026 "Operating Private Health Facilities" list; Google place record read live for name, category, rating, address and coordinates. The clinic's own domain mediflex.mv did not answer on any of three attempts, so every website-dependent criterion is left unset rather than denied, and the domain is queued for a manual browser check. |
