Horrible service with rude and unhelpful staff

If I could rate this zero, I absolutely would. I signed up last month after reading reviews, thinking it couldn't be that terrible. Spoiler alert: it is!!! I've attempted 4 separate times to schedule an appointment for my child with zero success, instead wasting hours in the emergency room. This morning, I called at 8am, endured a 30-minute queue, and finally got a doctor's callback. I explained my 2-year-old has had a horrific cough since last Thursday - yet still no face-to-face appointment. Waiting all day yielded nothing by 1pm, so I called again and politely inquired about a potential timeframe, only to be met by an incredibly rude receptionist who interrupted me, abruptly saying "NO" and sarcastically commenting they can't predict on-the-day appointments. When I tried highlighting my son's age and potential scheduling challenges, their dismissive response was equally unhelpful. The staff seem deliberately obstructive, seemingly uninterested in providing any meaningful service. While I understand staffing might be challenging, their attitude is inexcusable. If they're this disinterested in helping patients, they shouldn't be working in healthcare at all!!!! Absolutely avoid at all costs.
