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: Registo N.º 158316; Licença N.º 21140 (ERS - Clínicas ou consultórios dentários, Licenciada) (ERS open registry, searched 'Medibracara' — exact address match (Avenida da Liberdade 642, São José de São Lázaro, Braga). Registered under entity name 'Medibracara - Centro Médico Lda', slightly different from the clinic's trading name 'Medibracara – Clínica Dentária', which is why an earlier ERS check missed it.)

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (full site, all service pages, team and contact pages, Portuguese only) and its Google listing. Recorded: genuine premises and staff photos; oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, emergency care and treatment planning for patients living abroad documented; structured business data present; Google 4.8 from 103 reviews with a recent owner reply. Corrected: prices are not published on any page today (cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation, X-ray all unlisted), contradicting the previous general-prices record. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, review-pattern signals, English-speaking staff, online pre-consultation. |
| 2026-09-10 | Licence cell rewritten to the identifier form the twin city cards use: "Cédula profissional NNNNN (Ordem dos Médicos Dentistas)" becomes "OMD NNNNN". Same number, same register, same reading — on instituto-areluna the twin card porto-dental already published exactly "OMD 11845" for the number this card wrote out in full. The long form also ran one character past the width the clinic template pins an identifier at, so it was being laid out as prose. The original text is kept in the row's internal research note. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address/phone unchanged, open on Google Maps; recorded first Google rating 4.8 (103 reviews) and geo coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against ERS and OMD: clinic ERS registration found (Registo 158316 / Licença 21140, Licenciada) under the entity name 'Medibracara - Centro Médico Lda'; Dr. Filipe Amado confirmed with OMD Cédula 05771. |
