Two weeks before our inspection, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We reviewed patient feedback we received, and feedback routinely obtained by the practice. Patient feedback provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice.
Comments included, “Very happy with the service here”, “Always great service, friendly, informative” and “Really friendly and professional, knowledgeable and convenient to book”.
Patients commented positively about the standards of cleanliness. “The environment is always clean and calm and they are a highly skilled and caring group of professionals”.
Patients felt able to book appointments within an acceptable timescale for their needs and said they had enough time during their appointment without feeling rushed. “They make every effort to see me quickly”.
Patients told us they were given clear information to help them make an informed choice about their treatment and any associated costs. They were involved in decisions about their care. “Professional and friendly staff who have explained each step of the process in a clear and easy to understand format”.
Patients said when they were prescribed medicines, sufficient information was given.
The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken.
