Appointment ran late and felt unheard

I was quite let down by today's visit. While the practice does have a reputation for running behind schedule, I've generally found the care to be competent and thorough. Today's appointment was delayed by over 40 minutes, and unfortunately the consultation itself proved to be disappointing. The clinician appeared unfamiliar with the specific issue I presented and seemed to rely solely on standard online resources, struggling to address questions that fell outside readily available information. Had I realised this would be the extent of the consultation, I would have managed the matter differently at home. Additionally, I felt the clinician lacked sensitivity towards my daughter's needs, adopting an approach that felt forceful and intense. Rather than responding to my daughter's visible distress, the clinician continued with a loud and dominating manner. I had made clear at the start of the appointment that my daughter finds unfamiliar settings challenging, but this information appeared to be overlooked entirely. I'm genuinely concerned about taking her back for future appointments, as this experience has significantly increased her anxiety about medical consultations. I also left feeling frustrated and questioning whether the appointment had been worthwhile. Going forward, I'll be more careful to check details about my appointments before attending.
