Getting sorted here takes unnecessarily long

The people I've spoken to, including healthcare professionals from other practices, have expressed surprise at the approaches and methods used here. While there are occasional genuinely helpful and courteous interactions, the process of resolving issues tends to be prolonged, protracted and more complicated than necessary. I've attended for referrals from other healthcare providers only to have them declined and receive an alternative diagnosis instead, I've experienced what I believe to be incorrect diagnoses on several occasions, I've been advised to try over-the-counter remedies without follow-up appointments to monitor progress, only to deteriorate and later discover from another practice that the initial diagnosis was inaccurate. This has been frustrating. After exploring other practices, both I and the professionals I've consulted struggle to understand how this practice operates in its current manner. Whilst the staff are generally friendly and appear to take concerns seriously, there are certainly some individuals who have made unnecessary remarks and unfounded assumptions and seem indifferent to patient health and wellbeing. The practice itself is well-organised and efficient, and I've seldom experienced appointment cancellations, which is certainly commendable. Overall I would not recommend this practice. Although appointment availability is good, the time taken to reach an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment remains lengthy. The unhelpful remarks and dismissive demeanour of certain staff members unfortunately overshadow the positive aspects. It feels considerably less stressful to seek care elsewhere and receive proper resolution.
