New doctor dismissive when patients call repeatedly

Some practitioners communicate in ways that may feel dismissive. However, don't hesitate to arrange an appointment with an alternative clinician at the practice. A fundamental aspect of healthcare provision is demonstrating compassion toward patients, particularly when they've needed to contact the surgery repeatedly regarding the same concern. If this approach doesn't align with a practitioner's style, it may be worth considering whether the role suits them. Medical practice extends beyond medication management to encompassing genuine understanding and support. On occasion, it appears this approach may be deliberate—potentially discouraging patients and then citing reduced demand as a reason. To be transparent, I would not suggest booking with the alternative clinician mentioned. While this might create more appointment slots for them, from a patient perspective it is not advisable. This practitioner appears to prioritise how patients express themselves over addressing their actual medical concerns, which is quite unsatisfactory.
