How They Respond to Reviews
The owner uses highly repetitive, templated responses that follow an almost identical structure for every review. While they acknowledge the reviewer by name, they fail to address any of the specific, serious allegations (such as sepsis, hygiene, or dental issues) and instead rely on a standardized script.
