Frustrated by Cardiff Bay Surgery's Dismissive Receptionist

I reached out to my GP surgery this morning to schedule an appointment. The receptionist interrogated me about the reason for my visit. I explained that I've been experiencing lightheadedness, intense headaches, and elevated blood pressure, which typically accompanies my severe headaches. She offered me an appointment on 1st February 2025, which I rejected since I've already taken time off work due to being unwell for over three weeks. She adamantly refused to provide an alternative appointment, so I stated I would seek medical attention at the Butetown surgery instead. She claimed I couldn't do that, and I insisted I would, ending the call abruptly. I've previously lodged a complaint with the Practice Manager, and I suspect this is why I'm being treated so dismissively. Despite being assured that staff would receive training, it appears they remain indifferent and arbitrarily dismiss patients without legitimate cause. Doctors continue to avoid face-to-face consultations, seeing only a handful of patients daily! How much time could a simple phone consultation possibly consume? Cardiff Bay Surgery is fundamentally dysfunctional and fails to serve the community. Numerous patients are voicing similar grievances, and immediate action is imperative. Why must we navigate through Cambridge Street surgery when Cardiff Bay Surgery also employs a receptionist? It's completely illogical!
