Frustrating wait but finally found better care

I'm reluctantly awarding one star solely because when I actually secure an appointment, the Doctor is typically exceptional. However, I've been attempting to book since December, using two phones simultaneously at 8am for 5 days weekly, spending over 40 minutes trying or getting disconnected. Frustrated, I visited the surgery in person to explain my situation, only to be told to call back at 8am Monday morning. I was on the verge of going to A&E (which goes against my principles) and seriously considered changing practices. The transfer process was surprisingly smooth - I used an app to detail my condition and concerns, and received an urgent same-day appointment. The Doctor was fantastic, and I've been scheduled for a follow-up to address my needed treatment. West Quay completely failed to refer me to a Urologist and ignored my request to chase the appointment 6 months later. A year subsequently, Urology informed me I'd never been referred, leading to another 6-month waiting period. When I finally received a callback, the same Doctor was seemingly distracted, moving around the office, losing phone signal, with audible drawer noises, clearly not paying attention to our conversation. I'm relieved to have moved on from this practice.
