Phone booking anxiety from unhelpful reception staff
My family and I have been patients here for many years, and I personally have been registered for a considerable time. Previously, I was very satisfied with contacting the practice for appointments, and the reception team were consistently supportive. However, this has changed significantly. I now experience anxiety about making phone calls because appointment requests, medication refills, and other services are frequently declined. There is a particular member of the reception staff whose manner I find quite abrupt, including audible sighing during calls when booking appointments. This person often insists that certain types of appointments are not available, despite my having attended for identical reasons previously. I feel they attempt to provide medical judgement rather than facilitate access to care, and several family members have already transferred to alternative practices due to concerns about the level of service. Whilst appointments appear unavailable, the waiting area is rarely occupied. The remainder of the team are pleasant, but I believe this individual's approach has contributed significantly to patients leaving. I simply wish to feel at ease making a telephone call and to experience progress with my health concerns. Many issues have been left unaddressed due to my reluctance to engage with the practice. My hope is to consult with a doctor and feel genuinely listened to, but even during consultations, I do not feel adequately heard. Given these experiences, I am considering registering elsewhere, as continuing here feels unproductive and disheartening. It is particularly disappointing given how positive my experience once was.
This surgery has significant issues. The reception staff came across as unwelcoming, particularly one member who seemed to lack proper phone etiquette. Getting through to the practice is extremely..
