Felt dismissed and unsupported during stop smoking appointments
I attended appointments at the practice for support with smoking cessation. The healthcare professional provided me with patches at a particular dosage for several weeks. At the seventh appointment, I felt dismissed when told that the professional was unsure about my progress and indicated they could no longer assist me. I left feeling frustrated. Since that visit, I have considered raising a formal complaint but decided against pursuing it, as I was concerned my concerns would not be taken seriously. From my perspective, the professional displayed an unhelpful attitude throughout our interactions. I felt that as someone from a different background, I may have been treated less fairly than other patients might be. What troubled me most was being given an appointment only to be told upon arrival that the professional questioned why I was there. I had expected the dosage to be adjusted at that visit, but this did not happen. I formed the impression that the professional either lacked understanding of the treatment plan or had reservations about working with me. The manner in which support was offered made me feel it was being given reluctantly rather than as part of standard care. I am aware that I pay for prescriptions like all other patients. Additionally, I attended the practice the previous year regarding ankle pain. I felt that little was done to address this concern, and I have continued to experience discomfort since that time.
I rarely leave reviews like this, but I feel compelled to share my experience as I'm genuinely frustrated with how I've been treated. I'm dealing with significant issues affecting both my joints,..
