The study occurred in a private hospital, a small one. The population consisted of 71 users. Data were collected in the period from March to August 2007, through a questionnaire. It was observed that the dimensions were more relevant assurance (95.9%) and reliability (95.7%), followed by empathy (95%), responsiveness (93%) and tangibility (88%). Therefore, it is believed that the interrelation of binomial of user satisfaction and dimensions of quality, developed in this study, can contribute to welfare and managerial changes that made necessary.
