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.
- ✓ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented Treatment under general anaesthesia at the clinic's own facility, by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with an anaesthesiologist. [the-dental-clinic-saqib-minhas-gulshan-e-iqbal-deepen-2]
Summary
Practice on the second floor of the Taj Clinics building in Block 3 of Gulshan-e-Iqbal, trading since 2009 and headed by Dr. Saqib Minhas. Three dentists are named on its own team page and the site is unusually granular about treatment - separate pages for American, Korean and titanium implants, for zirconium, porcelain and metallic crowns, and for membrane grafting and sinus lifting - alongside a page listing its female dentists. Opening hours are published as Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The clinic publishes a starting consultation fee of Rs. 2,000, which is the only figure it puts in public; there is no price list.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-13 | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-13 with the five canonical Karachi queries, read once for every clinic of the Karachi list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-09-23 | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical Karachi queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 2 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (about 160 pages in its site map, including its service pages, its own price guides and its team, profile and general-anaesthesia pages), its Google listing, its oladoc.com profile and the national dentists' register. Recorded: Google 4.7 from 258 reviews, newest readable review 2026-09-08, owner replies on three of five readable reviews; no recurring complaint; the fields of its dentists; treatment under general anaesthesia; cone-beam CT planning for implants; documented care for patients who live abroad; a WhatsApp number. Corrected: the clinic now publishes its own fees from its 2025 rate list, including scaling, fillings, crowns, implants and X-rays, so prices are published. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, same-day or emergency appointments and the Sindh Healthcare Commission licence. |
| 2026-09-11 | The profile page the clinic links for its principal was opened: the route serves a photograph rather than a page, and the photograph carries no text, so it adds no qualifications. The note now says what is actually there instead of recording the page as unread. |
| 2026-09-11 | Reputation review: the clinic's own Google listing was read again, this time with its star histogram, its reviews with exact dates and any replies from the practice, its published opening week and its photographs, which were downloaded at full size and looked at. On this card the rating and review count were confirmed against the listing's own star histogram; the age of the newest readable review was dated exactly and recorded; the practice was found to answer reviews on its own listing; the star distribution and the readable reviews were checked for signs of manipulation and none was found; the photographs on the clinic's listing were downloaded and looked at, and they show the premises. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: the clinic's own front, about and team pages were read, and its principal's profile page was found to serve an image instead of a document; the Google place record was read automatically on both language surfaces, the rating pair coming from the Urdu surface; the three named dentists were looked up in the PMDC practitioners register; the Sindh Healthcare Commission's 2025-05-21 snapshot was searched by trading name, principal and building, with two near misses recorded. Review-side fields and the specialisation field were left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
