Schema code on your clinic site
Schema is the hidden code that labels your pages for Google. Two common types now earn you nothing. A third can put you in front of a regulator.
Google's own changelog
Google says the feature "will no longer appear in Google Search starting May 7, 2026". On 15 June 2026, it removed the help pages too.
What clinics missed
In 2023, Google limited the FAQ result to "well-known, authoritative government and health websites". That is why your clinic may have kept it. Now nobody has it.
Don't delete it
The Google result is gone. But AI answer tools still lift question and answer pairs. Keep the code, and stop calling it a Google win.
The one that matters
Google won't show stars if "the entity that's being reviewed controls the reviews about itself". A reviews widget on your site counts. And the health ad rules ban testimonials.
Put those two together
That is the worst mix a line of code can manage. It is also free to fix. Removing it costs you nothing you were getting.
The easy win
Google says to use "the most specific LocalBusiness sub-type possible". A practice is a MedicalClinic, and a dental practice is a Dentist. Most sites use the general default.
