Feedback, Concerns, Comments and Complaints Policy

Information for Patients
At City Health Clinic Dental Practice our aim is to give the best possible care and treatment to our
patients. We welcome feedback and comments about our services and aim to deal with any concerns
or complaints promptly, courteously and efficiently. We take steps to make patients aware of how
they can give feedback or make a complaint and where they can obtain support for making a
complaint. We consider all feedback, comments, concerns and complaints as a positive way of looking
at what we do and making changes to improve our service to patients. If we cannot resolve matters
in the way you want, we will explain why it is not possible to do as you suggest. All views, even those
that are anonymous, will be taken seriously and our procedures are in line with the NHS Scotland
Complaints Procedure.
