Two weeks before our onsite assessment, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We received feedback from 36 patients. Patient feedback provided a very positive view of the dental team and care provided by the practice. Multiple comments from patients remarked on the friendly, gentle and caring nature of staff, who were always welcoming and helpful. Patients commented that all options were always discussed in a polite and clear way. Many patients included that they were very happy with the practice and would highly recommend. 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. 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.
