Do not request patient identifiers, treatment descriptions, or health information in this version. Provide a direct practice contact route for a concern requiring a reply. Review the actual collection setup before using it with patients. Before sharing widely, try the questions with a few people from the intended audience and clarify anything they interpret differently. ## Printable dental patient experience survey template Use this printable dental patient experience survey template at reception for patients who prefer paper feedback. It includes the same questions and space to write, giving people who prefer paper or are less comfortable online another way to take part. SurveyLegend helps you offer both formats. Tell respondents where to return the completed form and who will review it. Paper answers need a separate review or manual entry process; they are not automatically added to online responses.

Use general comments to identify a process to review with the team. Do not infer clinical effectiveness or patient safety from satisfaction, and do not describe this original questionnaire as a validated measure. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this a clinical assessment? No. It asks about the service experience. It does not evaluate diagnosis, treatment effectiveness, or patient safety. ### Is this a CAHPS survey? No. These are original service-feedback questions, not a standardized CAHPS instrument or a validated score. ### Can patients describe a treatment concern here? Direct them to the practice’s appropriate contact route. This general form should not request treatment details or be presented as urgent support. Healthcare and Hospital Survey Templates 1.
