Dismissed and not listened to by previous practice

I was deeply disappointed with my experience at this practice. After receiving diagnoses for connective tissue and chronic pain conditions with progressively worsening symptoms, I felt dismissed when told there was little more they could offer, with the suggestion that my concerns were primarily psychological in nature. They indicated they were unwilling to continue supporting me. As I was hesitant about certain medications due to personal tolerance issues and wanted to explore the underlying causes of my health problems, I became increasingly distressed and discouraged. However, my subsequent practice has been remarkably supportive, arranging specialist investigations for additional conditions and referrals to pain management services. They have taken my concerns seriously, and I now feel more hopeful about managing my health effectively. Most importantly, I feel genuinely heard and valued. To anyone feeling hopeless about their healthcare, please persevere and consider seeking a second opinion. Additionally, when I attended with my child presenting with increased thirst, fatigue and weight changes, I felt judged and dismissed as an overanxious parent. The symptoms were subsequently confirmed as a serious metabolic condition requiring immediate treatment. I was even made to feel that I was encouraging my child's reported symptoms during the appointment. This practice's approach left me feeling profoundly let down and disrespected throughout my interactions with them.
