Doctor dismissed concerns without reviewing records

I attended my appointment to discuss updating my medical records after spending considerable time obtaining documentation from a private clinic. Upon arrival, I attempted to share this information with the clinician to help keep their systems current. The clinician appeared dismissive of my concerns and suggested I return only when I had a more pressing health issue. I felt discouraged by this interaction and the overall approach at the practice. I have found the standard of care and communication from some healthcare professionals in my experience to be frustrating, with instances where I felt my concerns were not taken seriously or treated with appropriate respect. In one instance, a clinician indicated they were unfamiliar with my condition and questioned its validity based on their own knowledge. I subsequently sought a second opinion privately, where my concerns were validated through further diagnosis. Based on my experiences, I have concerns about the quality and responsiveness of care I have received.
