Summary

St. Michael's Dental Care is a private dental clinic on General Luna Street in the Iloilo City Proper district, operating from the ground floor of the EROS Pension building. The clinic is co-founded by two dentists referred to in patient reviews as Dr. Jai and Dr. Bern (Dr. Bernie). Its Google listing shows opening hours from Tuesday to Saturday, and the clinic offers emergency dental services. Patient reviews, including several from UK and Canadian patients, consistently describe painless procedures and high standards of care. The clinic holds accreditation from the Philippine Dental Association and the National Association of Dental Traders.

A second phone number, 0916-528-7755, is listed on CebuDentalImplants. Clinic hours: 7:00 AM–5:30 PM daily (WhatClinic) and 9:00 AM–5:00 PM Mon–Sat (CebuDentalImplants); the earlier opening hour from WhatClinic is used. The Waze listing (639477775588) confirms the General Luna location. A 4.6/5 rating from 35 Google reviews is cited on ClinicFinderPH — accessible only through that third-party aggregator and therefore not attributed as a direct Google source. Full legal names of Dr. Jai and Dr. Bern were not publicly surfaced.

Change History

DateChange
2026-10-01TripAdvisor re-checked 2026-10-01: its own search returns no profile for the clinic.
2026-10-01Website, service list, contacts and address re-based on the clinic's own channels (its Facebook page and Google listing) instead of directory profiles; the website both channels give, empireofsmile.com, does not exist, so the clinic still counts as having no website. Values unchanged.
2026-09-30Corrected 2026-09-30: red flag "No dentists identified anywhere" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that the clinic names its dentists.
2026-09-30Read the clinic's Facebook page and Instagram in full for the past year on 2026-09-30: only a time-limited Valentine's promotion carries a figure, so no standing price is published; its posts name its two dentists, record orthodontics training and show that it takes X-rays.
2026-09-29Read the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-09-29. Recorded: a published WhatsApp contact number, and an online virtual-consultation booking profile (SeriousMD) linked from the page. Still unverified: itemised prices, CBCT, and detailed service explanations.
2026-09-29Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist names listed, dentist specializations listed, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this.
2026-09-25Re-read on 2026-09-25: this clinic carried no Google listing on file; it was located by name and address and matched exactly on name, address and phone number. Recorded: rating 4.8 from 70 reviews, newest dated the day before this check; owner replies extensively, including to every critical review; genuine treatment-room and entrance photos. Corrected: several low-rated reviews describe high or undisclosed prices, a recurring complaint not reflected in the earlier finding; review recency is updated now that the Google listing is readable. The website named on the clinic's Google profile, empireofsmile.com, is not registered in DNS; price and structured-data criteria are recorded on that basis. Still unverified: on-site X-ray and CBCT, WhatsApp/LINE and online booking, none documented outside the clinic's Facebook page.
2026-08-25Re-verification 2026-08-25: Google Maps could not be reached today (searches on maps.google.com did not return a citable place link). Cross-checked via Google web search instead: the clinic's Facebook page (recent post ~2 months ago) confirms it is active and lists the stored phone 09477775588 among its contacts; third-party directories (Yelp, ClinicFinderPH) confirm the stored "1F EROS Pension, General Luna Street, Iloilo City Proper" address. Facebook also lists a second "Molo" contact/branch not previously on file. No Google rating captured today (no acceptable Maps source URL obtained).
2026-08-25Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0.
