Dismissed and unheard during a distressing appointment
I had an extremely distressing experience at a local medical centre. I attended an appointment regarding a severe infection and subsequently called back because the medication I had been prescribed appeared to worsen my symptoms. I was also concerned that a family member had begun to develop similar symptoms. During the consultation, I felt the clinician was dismissive of my concerns. I experienced being interrupted while attempting to explain my situation, and felt that my worries were not being properly addressed. When I tried to discuss how my condition had progressed and my concerns about my family member, I was advised to book a separate appointment rather than receive immediate assistance. When I questioned this approach, the response felt cold and unhelpful. I felt the behaviour demonstrated a lack of professionalism and compassion, which I believe is important in healthcare settings. The distress of feeling unheard and being redirected to another appointment left me upset and preoccupied. During this difficult time, a stressful incident occurred at home involving a family member. I feel this situation could have been prevented had the clinician shown greater understanding and willingness to engage with my concerns. I am disappointed by the level of care and professionalism I experienced during this appointment. I believe that patients, particularly those seeking help for health concerns affecting their family, deserve to be treated with greater attentiveness and support.

one year agoDear Felicity, you have raised this complaint with the practice and we have responded. I do not intend to make these matters public other than to say there are many other issues regarding your interaction with the practice. We are very sorry that you had a difficult experience and that you found it "rude, dismissive....uncaring and unprofessional". That would certainly not be the intention of any member of staff at Idle Medical Centre. I would also say that your experience with Dr Khan is in stark contrast to hundreds of other patients who have had very positive experiences. Idle Medical Centre
