Why Dentalview keeps Naver, Kakao and Google counts separate
Each platform defines and counts reviews differently. Dentalview keeps identity, source URL and date, and never adds them together.
Each platform defines and counts reviews differently. Dentalview keeps identity, source URL and date, and never adds them together.
Naver, Kakao and Google counts are differently defined. Dentalview keeps channel values separate with source URLs and dates.
Review volume supports discovery but does not prove quality or outcomes. Do not use a count when business identity is uncertain.
1. Match the business first
Names can be similar or change, so compare branch, full address and phone when available.
Keep each platform's place ID, URL and match evidence. Name-only matching can attach another branch's count.

2. Preserve each platform's label
Naver Place reviews, Kakao reviews or blogs and Google reviews are differently labeled populations.
Write the platform and exact on-screen label beside every count. Renaming different measures as reviews distorts comparison.

3. Record date and volatility
Counts and place data can change with posts, removals, platform policy and business updates.
Store the observation date and source URL with the count. A current count is not a fixed quality metric.

4. Do not add or convert into satisfaction
Adding differently defined populations creates unknown overlap and can look like satisfaction.

5. Set a safe use boundary
Counts reflect platform activity, not diagnosis quality, infection control or outcomes.
Use it only for discovery, then verify official entity data and consultation answers. Individual review text may not be representative, authentic or current.

A same-condition consultation table
Record the evidence, effect on your plan and unresolved condition—not only yes or no.
| Criterion | Before the visit | At consultation | Interpretation limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match the business first | Keep each platform's place ID, URL and match evidence. | Which address and fields prove this is the same branch? | Name-only matching can attach another branch's count. |
| Preserve each platform's label | Write the platform and exact on-screen label beside every count. | What population does this count, and what is its exact label? | Renaming different measures as reviews distorts comparison. |
| Record date and volatility | Store the observation date and source URL with the count. | When was it observed, and can the source page be reopened? | A current count is not a fixed quality metric. |
| Do not add or convert into satisfaction | Show raw values by channel without totals or score conversion. | Why are these counts not added or converted into rank points? | Review volume does not prove treatment quality or outcome. |
| Set a safe use boundary | Use it only for discovery, then verify official entity data and consultation answers. | What limit prevents using this count beyond discovery? | Individual review text may not be representative, authentic or current. |
| Written comparison | Use one form for evidence, options, cost and clinician | When will unknowns be decided? | Do not fill unknowns with guesses |
| Source and date | Keep source URL, entity and date | Is the information still current? | Administrative and platform data can change |
What to verify
Ten questions to ask verbatim
- Which address and fields prove this is the same branch?
- What population does this count, and what is its exact label?
- When was it observed, and can the source page be reopened?
- Why are these counts not added or converted into rank points?
- What limit prevents using this count beyond discovery?
- Which online facts are administrative, and which require clinical confirmation?
- What alternatives fit my case, and what may happen without treatment?
- Will you document total estimated cost and conditions that may change it?
- Who should I ask if the explainer and treating clinician differ?
- Which records and images can I take before the next decision?
FAQ
FAQ
What matters most when checking match the business first?
Names can be similar or change, so compare branch, full address and phone when available. Keep each platform's place ID, URL and match evidence. Name-only matching can attach another branch's count. At consultation, ask “Which address and fields prove this is the same branch?” and record both the supporting finding and anything still unresolved.
What matters most when checking preserve each platform's label?
Naver Place reviews, Kakao reviews or blogs and Google reviews are differently labeled populations. Write the platform and exact on-screen label beside every count. Renaming different measures as reviews distorts comparison. At consultation, ask “What population does this count, and what is its exact label?” and record both the supporting finding and anything still unresolved.
What matters most when checking record date and volatility?
Counts and place data can change with posts, removals, platform policy and business updates. Store the observation date and source URL with the count. A current count is not a fixed quality metric. At consultation, ask “When was it observed, and can the source page be reopened?” and record both the supporting finding and anything still unresolved.
What matters most when checking do not add or convert into satisfaction?
Adding differently defined populations creates unknown overlap and can look like satisfaction. Show raw values by channel without totals or score conversion. Review volume does not prove treatment quality or outcome. At consultation, ask “Why are these counts not added or converted into rank points?” and record both the supporting finding and anything still unresolved.
What matters most when checking set a safe use boundary?
Counts reflect platform activity, not diagnosis quality, infection control or outcomes. Use it only for discovery, then verify official entity data and consultation answers. Individual review text may not be representative, authentic or current. At consultation, ask “What limit prevents using this count beyond discovery?” and record both the supporting finding and anything still unresolved.
Can online information settle this decision?
Naver, Kakao and Google counts are differently defined. Dentalview keeps channel values separate with source URLs and dates. Online information is a starting point for questions, not a substitute for examination and the treating clinician's explanation. Use these items as a checklist and mark missing information as unverified, not absent.
If two clinics disagree, what should I align first?
Review volume supports discovery but does not prove quality or outcomes. Do not use a count when business identity is uncertain. First confirm that both clinics used the same records, goals and cost scope, then document why their answers differ and which further tests each needs. Align the actual clinician and follow-up scope as well as price and time.
When should I pause and seek more information?
Naver Place reviews, Kakao reviews or blogs and Google reviews are differently labeled populations. Pause when the supporting findings, actual clinician, total scope or problem-response plan remains unclear. Ask for the missing record before committing; only an examining clinician can judge urgency. Record when the review will be completed and the next action so necessary care is not lost during the pause.
