During a routine inspection

We spoke with five patients who were attending an appointment with their Dentist. They all told us that they felt respected by the staff employed at the service and felt they were fully involved in the decisions about their dental treatment and care.

Patients told us that they felt safe in the surgery and also felt confident in reporting complaints or any issues of concern to the staff employed at the practice. They also told us that they felt the staff employed at the practice were suitably trained and professional in performing their duties.

Patients told us they thought all areas within the surgery were maintained to a good standard of cleanliness and hygiene.
