Disappointing experience at medical practice

My experience with this medical practice left much to be desired, particularly as someone who rarely requires healthcare services. The initial frustration arose when the phones weren't operational until 8:20, despite the advertised opening time of 8:00. While the receptionist exhibited politeness and helpfulness, my request for a GP phone consultation resulted in a triage appointment with an Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) instead. The consultation with the ANP proved to be the most disheartening aspect of my visit. The nurse's demeanor was notably unsympathetic and unprofessional, going so far as to compare her own illness to mine and boasting about her ability to work through it. This approach felt belittling and dismissive of my concerns. Having waited over five days for my condition to improve naturally and seeking advice from medical professionals within my personal circle, I believed I had acted prudently in seeking medical attention. However, the ANP's patronizing attitude regarding this fact was both unexpected and unwelcome. As a consequence of this unsatisfactory experience, I've made the decision to seek healthcare services elsewhere and will be transferring to a different practice at the earliest opportunity. I'm aware of the high standards that GP services can maintain, and regrettably, this particular individual's conduct has significantly tarnished the practice's reputation. Additionally, I believe the implementation of an online appointment system, which has become increasingly common among GP practices, could potentially alleviate many of the frustrations patients face when attempting to secure appointments.
