During a routine inspection
We received the following comments from the patients, "It's great, I wouldn't go anywhere else. I get plenty of advice and support." 'The dentist is always giving plenty of advice ' he gives you confidence to talk to him.' "The standard of cleanliness is very good." 'I can ask what I want, I'm really happy with the way staff assist and help.'
One patient told us they were never rushed with their appointment and their examination was conducted in private. Patients told us their treatment options were explained fully to them, so they were able to make informed decisions about what treatments were best for them and which they would prefer. Patients confirmed they received thorough examinations and were provided with dental advice.
Patients told us that they did not have to wait long for appointments and they had been able to get appointments in the past at short notice. They also told us that waiting times had been minimal and as a mark of respect, they were always informed if there was a delay with their appointment time.
