Frustrating medical practice with terrible customer service

The absolute worst medical practice in Horley. This morning, I rang to schedule an appointment at 08:30 and was caller number 2 - previously, I've experienced calling at the same time and being number 83!! They're closed this afternoon with only morning appointments available... and there's zero indication on their website that EVERY MEDICAL STAFF is in training - why?! You're restricted to calling precisely at 08:30 THAT day OR you'll miss out entirely. Everyone's calling for minor issues like sore throats and coughs, just take some lemsip and move on, too many people exploiting the system! Meanwhile, serious medical conditions are forced to wait until 'the next day' for an appointment! COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE - I'm switching practices after 27 years here! Some doctors are excellent, but others are incredibly unhelpful, dismissing patients with nothing more than a printout of basic home remedies! The morning receptionists are absolutely terrible when booking appointments, here's a quick tip: smile while on the phone, it genuinely improves your tone. I've been hung up on multiple times - seriously, just cheer up!!!!!!
