Insider Investigations
Evidence first. Then the story.
In-depth reporting on the issues that affect international dental patients, from advertising claims to refund disputes. Every claim is labelled, every source is shown, and every organisation we name gets the chance to respond.
Status
Our first investigation is in progress.
We publish only when the evidence is verified and the editorial and legal review is complete. We would rather publish nothing than publish something we can’t stand behind.
Research agenda
Topics we are researching. Nothing below is a finding.
- 01Treatment quotation exclusions and how they're presented
- 02Deposit and refund terms in practice
- 03Advertising claims: "all-inclusive", guarantees and urgency
- 04The role of facilitators and intermediaries
- 05Follow-up and aftercare responsibilities across borders
- 06How patients can verify clinic credentials
How we investigate
Every claim carries its evidential status.
Verified fact
Confirmed against documents or primary sources we cite.
Reported allegation
Reported to us or published elsewhere; not independently proven.
Educational example
A generic, illustrative scenario, not a real case.
Editorial analysis
Our interpretation, based on the evidence presented.
Verified evidence
We work from documents, public records and primary sources. We don't invent patients, interviews, statistics or legal findings.
Right of reply
Before publishing serious allegations about an identifiable organisation, we contact it and report its response.
Review & corrections
Investigations pass editorial and legal review before publication. Corrections are logged on the page, with dates.
Read our editorial policy and corrections policy.
