Dr Guy Watts Complaints Policy
Purpose
We understand that healthcare is a personal and sensitive matter. Every patient has the right to voice their concerns and be heard. Our Complaints Policy has been designed to ensure that any concerns are handled fairly, respectfully, and efficiently. We commit to taking every complaint seriously, treating all parties involved with dignity and respect.
Lodging a Complaint
You are encouraged to discuss any surgical concerns with your surgeon. If your complaint is not related to surgery, please direct it to the practice manager. Most issues can be resolved quickly and effectively through direct communication.
If the matter remains unresolved or requires a formal investigation, you may submit a written complaint to the Practice. Please include your name, contact details, and a clear description of the issue.
