Boyacá, 'Clínica Odontológica Protección Oral - Sede Av Boyacá.') shows a separate, lower Google rating of 2.7 from 268 reviews per the same Maps session — this two-location clinic has a notably mixed/low reputation across its sedes.

| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked Google rating for the Santa Bárbara sede (3.3, 278 reviews, previously unset) via Maps place page, added pin coords + place URL; noted the Av. Boyacá sede's separate, lower 2.7/268 rating observed on the same visit; added 2 external sources (MedicalTourismChat, Páginas Amarillas) — onOtherPlatforms now true (was null); visibility scout 5 queries (4 nulls filled, all false; aiMention_implants reconfirmed true with a freshly dated source); sedation researched — no info found, left null; no uncited sources to triage (all 3 existing sources already cited). |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: both sedes FOUND with exact address matches (110010703901, 110010703902). All 6 named staff are null because ReTHUS (dentist scope) is geo-fenced and ID-number-only. |
