Complaints
In this Practice we take complaints very seriously and try to ensure that all our patients are pleased with their experience of our service. When patients complain, they are dealt with courteously and promptly so that the matter is resolved as quickly as possible. This procedure is based on these objectives.
Our aim is to react to complaints in the way in which we want our complaints about a service to be handled. We learn from every mistake that we make and we respond to patients’ concerns in a caring and sensitive way.
The person responsible for dealing with any complaint about the service that we provide is Furqan Ishak, the practice complaints manager. You can contact him by calling him on 01949 844 463, emailing him at info@bottesforddentalpractice.com or writing to him at Bottesford Dental Care, 12 Albert Street, Bottesford, Nottingham, NG13 0AJ with a description of your complaint. We endeavour to respond to acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days and respond fully to the complaint as soon as reasonably practicable.
