Dismissive approach left me feeling unheard and unsupported

I have been attending this practice for my entire life, spanning three decades, and have noticed a significant decline in the quality of care since a particular senior clinician departed. During a period when I was experiencing considerable mental health difficulties, I felt dismissed when asked what support I was seeking, and was told that therapy alone would be sufficient without medication. The consultation became uncomfortable when the clinician raised their voice while asking a question I had difficulty understanding. Following a hospital admission for severe abdominal and back pain, I was initially advised to request blood tests and imaging from the practice. However, when I attended, I was informed these investigations were unnecessary and that my symptoms were likely heartburn, with no referral being offered for imaging. After lodging a complaint, I pursued the imaging independently, only to be told during a follow-up appointment that the findings were minor and nothing to be concerned about. The formal complaints process indicated a response timeframe of thirty days. I have decided to transfer my care elsewhere.
