How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Great dentist, great staff. Easy to work with to schedule appointments. I’m pretty cowardly and Dr. Hong puts me at ease.

I dislodged a crown white eating the candy “Dots”! It was Wednesday night and I had it replaced the next day! They were able to fit me into their busy schedule. Dr. Hong and her staff are terrific at what they do. They are very professional and so pleasant every time I see them. The best in Emmaus!...
