People’s experience
Two weeks before our inspection, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We did not receive any feedback prior to our inspection. On the day of our inspection, we received 3 feedback forms from patients and given a further 11 forms which were collected by the provider prior to our inspection. Patient feedback provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice. Patients commented positively about the standards of cleanliness. 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. 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. Patients told us that when they were prescribed medicines, sufficient information was given. We discussed the mixed online reviews with the practice, including identified trends and their responses. The practice explained that they were currently unable to respond to the reviews. However, they were aware of both the positive and negative feedback and regularly shared this with staff to support ongoing improvement.

Evidence, not a league table.
CQC findings and GP Patient Survey results answer different questions and may cover different time periods. Neither confirms current appointment availability, NHS acceptance, opening hours or whether a provider is suitable for you.
Check the provider’s own website and the complete official CQC record before making a decision. If you need urgent medical help, use NHS 111 or call 999 in an emergency.
