COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE STATEMENT:

VSP Skin and LASER Clinic is committed to ensuring we provide excellent customer service and service outcomes possible by maintaining the highest standards of professional excellence.  We welcome any feedback or complaint and see them as an opportunity to improve our service to our Clients.

HOW VSP SKIN AND LASER LINIC DEAL WITH ANY COMPLAINTS THAT MAY ARISE:

Client satisfaction is of paramount concern to VSP Skin and LASER Clinic. This complaints procedure is designed to ensure that concerns or complaints are dealt with quickly and effectively.  This procedure is applicable to all services and products offered as part of VSP Skin and LASER Clinic range of services and products.

VSP Skin and LASER Clinic believes that if a Client wishes to make a complaint or register a concern, they should find it easy to do so. It is our policy to welcome complaints and look upon them as an opportunity to learn, adapt, improve and provide better services. This policy is intended to ensure that complaints are dealt with appropriately and that all complaints or comments by Clients are taken seriously.

The Policy is not designed to apportion blame, consider the possibility of negligence or to provide compensation.

Clients are entitled to lodge an initial complaint verbally by telephone, in person or in writing via email or post. VSP Skin and LASER Clinic are happy to provide Clients with assistance during the complaints process.

If a complaint is received, the Client’s name, address and telephone number will be taken. The nature of the complaint and the date (if applicable) will also be noted.

VSP Skin and LASER Clinic require all complaints to then be put in to writing, either by email or post, addressed to the Clinic Manager.  The Client will receive a response within 14 Clinic working days of the date of receipt of the complaint. This time will allow us to fully investigate the matter.

Any information regarding a complaint received, whether in person, in writing, by email, through an online review or by telephone will be initially dealt with by the Therapist involved.  This serves two purposes. Firstly, the Therapist will be fully conversant with all the services being carried out and is able to understand the nature of the complaint. Secondly, it acknowledges to the Client that the complaint is being taken seriously and that they are considered important.  This prevents a potentially difficult situation from being made worse.

Once the Client has left, or the telephone conversation has ended, or the written complaint has been received, the person taking the complaint will inform the Director of VSP Skin and LASER Clinic and the Clinic Manager immediately with the details via email to info@vspclinic.co.uk. The Director of VSP Skin and LASER Clinic will supervise the Complaint.

Depending on the nature of the complaint, during the course of the investigation, VSP Skin and LASER Clinic may require the Client to attend an additional Consultation meeting with the Therapist involved in their service treatment. If the Client is not satisfied with this initial attempt at resolution or have any objection to being seen by the Therapist, the Clinic’s Manager will review the case.

If the complaint cannot be resolved by the Clinic Manager, the matter will be referred to our Director.

The Client should be aware of our No refunds on Service Policy and Products.

VSP Skin and LASER Clinic will endeavor to resolve any complaints quickly, efficiently and effectively.  Our objective is to provide an explanation or a solution to the Client’s complaint.
