Appointment booking became difficult and unhelpful

I have been a patient here for 25 years, and one of the main reasons I have stayed was how straightforward it was to arrange appointments. From 2016 onwards, I experienced back issues which were initially identified as a particular condition. I made numerous return visits due to significant pain, but felt that my concerns were not adequately addressed and was repeatedly referred for physiotherapy. Following an MRI scan several years later, a structural issue was identified in my spine, which led to surgery. Since that procedure, I have continued to experience ongoing pain and some weakness. More recently, I have developed joint problems in my knees and have had falls, including one that was quite serious. My healthcare provider suggested I request a specific treatment through my GP. When I attended an appointment to discuss this, I found the reception staff to be unhelpful and unwilling to assist with booking the necessary appointment. Overall, I feel the standard of patient care at this practice, particularly from the reception team, has fallen short of what I would expect from a healthcare provider. I am considering escalating my concerns through the appropriate complaints procedure as I am dissatisfied with the level of care I have received.
