Dentists in Beirut: which clinics ChatGPT and Gemini name
Left without the web, ChatGPT and Gemini name almost none of the Beirut clinics listed here. From memory alone, only Ferrari Dental Clinic, in 9 of 108 answers, and Dr Joe Karam Dental Clinic came up at all. Khoury Dental Clinic went from 0 of 108 answers without search to 53 of 72 once the models looked online. Across all answers, the name that kept coming back was Hôtel-Dieu de France, in 88 of 180.
The two models also go different ways. Smile Avenue Dental Clinic turned up in 23 of 90 answers from ChatGPT but in just 2 of 90 from Gemini. An urgent toothache splits the answers too. Asked plainly where to get urgent help, the answers named no clinic on the list. Asked to choose among clinics for the same pain, they named Ferrari Dental Clinic, FreshDent Clinic and Lebanon Dental Studio equally often.

How Beirut was measured
Each of the 18 questions went to ChatGPT and to Gemini, in 3 separate runs; 12 of them were asked twice, with the model's web search off and on. A question that itself named a clinic is left out, since its answer would name that clinic by force. The clinics we tracked are the ones we chose to measure in Beirut and the clinics they compete with for the same patients.
Ansmeter Benchmark v2.0, methodology 2026.10, prompt library 2026.10-service-voice. The method and its limits: Methodology. The table as a file: data.csv.
We ran this measurement on our own initiative; no clinic asked for it or paid for it. If a clinic's name or website is wrong here, write to us and we will correct it.
