Because a testimonial published here has passed through us, and one published on Google has not. We could quote forty reviews accurately and you would still only have our word that they are representative. Four hundred and seventy-nine reviews with the full star distribution attached are a different kind of evidence, and it costs nothing to read them in the one place we do not control.

Publishing a patient’s words or images requires their explicit written consent, and collecting that properly takes longer than writing a page. The excerpts above are public reviews, quoted with attribution and linked to their source. Anything beyond that — a photograph, a full case story, a name attached to a treatment — waits until the patient has agreed to it in writing.

That depends entirely on whether a patient has consented to it, and consent for that cannot be assumed or arranged retroactively. It is a reasonable thing to ask about at a consultation.

Logistics and aftercare, more than clinical questions: how many trips, what happens if something needs adjusting after driving home, and how the timing works around the return wait. Each of those is answered in writing before treatment starts.

Uniform enthusiasm, no dates, stock photography, and no negative reviews anywhere. Every practice that has treated a meaningful number of patients has had a dissatisfied one, and a page suggesting otherwise has been curated rather than collected.

Which is why the star distribution near the top of this page shows the six one-star reviews instead of only the average.
