General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Implant page states procedure uses local anaesthesia only ('anesthésie locale') [mediterranean-dental-clinic-sousse-sedation]
Summary
Mediterranean Dental Clinic, operating under the Cabinet Dr. Kochat brand on Rue Mohamed El Karoui in Sousse, has been established since approximately 1980 and is led by Dr. Yahia Kochat (Chedli Kochat), an implantologist and oral surgeon with over 40 years of experience, alongside Dr. Mohamed Yahia Kochat. The clinic offers a broad spectrum of specialties including implantology, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery. It cites a multilingual team (Arabic, French, English, German, Italian, Russian) and serves international patients primarily from Canada, the UK, and France.
The clinic is marketed under two related names: 'Mediterranean Dental Clinic' on dental-tourism aggregators (dentavacation.com) and 'Cabinet Dr Kochat' on its own website (dr-kochat.com). Aldoctorz lists Dr. Mohamed Yahia Kochat with a phone +216 75545599216 (likely a formatting error for a local number). The official website phone 52 301 371 is formatted without country code; the full number is +216 52 301 371. The website states WhatsApp contact is available but provides no specific number. Dentavacation shows 5.0/30 reviews; DentaVacation is a marketing aggregator and these figures should not be treated as independently verified Google ratings. The street name variant 'Rue Moheddine Klibi' appears on aldoctorz.com; 'Rue Mohamed El Karoui' is used on the clinic website and dentavacation.
