![]() We did not have the opportunity to speak to people when we visited Otley Dental Centre to ask about their experience. However we were provided with a copy of the patient survey results for 2013. This showed us that 45 people were asked their views of the practice. People were asked if they would recommend the practice to a friend and would they ask to see the same dentist again, we saw 41 out of 42 stated they would. When asked if they had confidence in the dentist 43 responded and scored this as good to excellent. We found the practice had been recently refurbished and was very clean and well ordered. We saw staff were very helpful when people arrived for their appointments and when they left they we saw they thanked the staff. We found the provider had regularly assessed and monitored the service they provided and people had received the treatment of their choice, in a clean and hygienic surgery.
