Morning phone queue system causes frustration

2☆ for the pleasant reception staff. However, continuity of care is problematic as you cannot request the same clinician, and the appointment booking system requires calling at a specific morning time, which is challenging when managing work commitments. The phone queue system is frustrating, with wait times reaching 45 minutes and queue positions moving unpredictably. When calls are received, no voicemail is left, making it impossible to understand the purpose of contact. The clinical staff often seem dismissive and give the impression that patients are inconveniencing them, despite patients contributing significantly through taxation. Patient time appears undervalued, with lengthy delays occurring regularly. While I recognise it is demanding work, it seems some clinicians might be better suited to private practice if they have the capability, as I have ultimately chosen to pursue private care after years of dissatisfaction with my experience at this practice.
