Dishonest receptionists ruin patient experience completely
I overheard a receptionist repeatedly lying to phone callers, claiming only one doctor was available today and suggesting they call back tomorrow, while simultaneously telling waiting room patients that two doctors were working. This wasn't a one-time mistake, but a deliberate deception I heard her tell 4-5 different callers. Additionally, they were aggressively trying to redirect patients to nurses, even when patients specifically requested to see a doctor. Myself and another patient who explicitly asked to see a doctor were initially called in by a nurse and then had to re-enter to see the doctor as we originally requested. While some receptionists here are excellent, on this particular day their behavior was completely unacceptable. It is not a receptionist's role to arbitrarily decide a doctor's availability, fabricate information, or ignore patient preferences by booking them with nurses when they've clearly asked to see a doctor. Absolutely appalling.
