FEEDBACK & COMPLAINTS

Our practice takes any complaints very seriously indeed and we try to ensure all our patients are pleased with our services. If a patient has a complaint it is dealt with courteously and promptly in a caring and sensitive manner, so the matter is resolved as quickly as possible. The person responsible for dealing with the complaint about our services, would be the Practice Manager, Debbie Devin.

​

If a patient has a complaint over the telephone or at reception, we will ask them to speak to Debbie. If Debbie feels it should be referred to the Principal Dentist, Dr Raymond Cheung, then an appointment will be made as soon as possible, for the patient to speak with the dentist, usually the same day.

​

If a written complaint is received, this will be passed straight to the Practice Manager, Debbie Devin and an appointment will be made for the patient to come in and hopefully, the problem can be resolved on the same day. A record is kept of any complaint received and when resolved, the patient will be sent written confirmation of the matter.
