People’s experience

Two weeks before our on-site assessment, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We received feedback from 16 patients. On the day of our assessment, we spoke with and saw patient feedback from a further 44 patients. Patient feedback provided a positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice. Comments included, “Very informative and made me feel at ease”, “Very careful and thoughtful”, “Always positive and reassuring”, “Absolutely amazing service from start to finish”, “Outstanding”, “Good service, very professional, polite and caring staff from the front desk to all the dental team”, “Efficient on time service”, “Never had such good advice before”, “Consistently effective hygiene treatment and dental checkups. All staff professional, courteous and welcoming”, “Great dentist, absolutely amazing with children” and “Gave me plenty of breaks when I needed them”. 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.

Patients told us that they were supported to maintain their oral health and were provided with appropriate information and resources.

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.
