The reception team's conduct fell significantly short of expectations, demonstrating a lack of courtesy and professionalism that undermined the quality care provided by the clinical staff.

The service fell short of professional standards. There was a sense that patient wellbeing was not being treated with appropriate concern.

The practice does not always demonstrate professionalism, and there appears to be a reluctance to schedule appointments even when health concerns warrant attention.
