Corrections

Corrections log

A dated, visible log of every correction, retraction, and material update to a published piece on The Maloney Review.

The Maloney Review does not silently edit. We do not ghost-update. Every material change to a published piece is recorded here with a date, a one-sentence description of what changed, and a link to the affected piece. Typographical and minor copy fixes are made in place and not logged. Every other change is logged.

The standing rule is in the brand voice document and in Brand.md NDA-6: when a piece is materially wrong, we write a follow-up post titled “Correction: [Original Title]” and link both directions. When a piece is materially extended (a new finding, a new section, a re-scoring), an update notice is added to the head of the affected piece and the change is logged below.

2026-06-04: Australian Dental Clinic, Hà Nội: the misleading-affiliation review

Type: Substantive update and score revision.

Change: Revised the overall verdict from FAIL to CONCERN. Re-evaluated the marketing-affiliation gap and the 2020 patient complaint on RealSelf to align with the credential-representation and clinical-evidence frameworks applied to other regional reviews, classifying these findings as CONCERN rather than FAIL.

What is unchanged: The underlying findings regarding the founder’s lack of documented Australian credentials and the details of the published 2020 patient complaint on RealSelf remain as documented.

Type: Non-substantive cross-link insertions to accompany the publication of the long read on when to go overseas for dental treatment and when not to.

Change: A single sentence pointing to the new long read was inserted into the closing cross-reference paragraph of each of: the Metal Dental Clinic, Da Nang review (where the new piece uses the existing FAIL finding as its worked example of hype-driven referral); the dental tourism trust gap long read (the new piece’s practical framework sits on top of the trust-gap structural account); the dental care access crisis long read (the new piece’s framework operates inside the source-market demand pool the access-crisis piece documents); the cross-border dental liability review (the policy review documents the architecture the new piece’s Filter 4, the continuity-of-care plan, is asked into); and the veneers vs crowns vs composite bonding review (the new piece names the veneer-vs-crown substitution as one of the two most common procedure-substitution failures in overseas treatment, with the TOR review as the upstream procedural reading).

2026-05-07: Metal Dental Clinic, Da Nang: clinical review

Type: Material extension. No prior finding revised.

Change: Added a new section titled Open question: who is performing the procedures? between the overall scoring and the What would change this assessment section. The new section names a verification question raised by a Vietnamese-licensed dental colleague’s review of the clinic’s publicly available staffing presentation: the individual presented by the clinic as its clinician does not visibly appear, on visual comparison, as the operator in the procedure footage analysed in Categories 1, 2, and 3 of the original review. The publication has not, at the date of this update, completed a primary-source search of the Vietnamese Ministry of Health and provincial Department of Health (Da Nang) registries against each visible operator. The new section commits the publication to that primary-source check, names what the resolution of the check will and will not change about the existing scoring, and states what happens if the question cannot be resolved.

What is unchanged: the Category 1 (FAIL), Category 2 (FAIL), Category 3 (FAIL), Category 4 (CONCERN), and Category 5 (FAIL) scores are unchanged in this update. The Overall: FAIL finding is unchanged. The existing clinical findings stand on observable clinical-decision-making, procedure-execution, and infection-control evidence in the clinic’s own published footage, independently of the registration-status question.

What is open: the registration status of the individual operators visible in the published procedure footage. The publication will update this entry when the primary-source check is on file, or when a reasonable verification window has elapsed without a result, whichever comes first. An unanswerable question is itself a finding and will be named as such in subsequent re-reviews.
