Phone lines difficult to get through during lunch hours

This surgery appears to be declining in quality. I experienced significant difficulty reaching the practice by phone, and I noticed the lines seemed unavailable during certain midday hours. The reception team's manner towards patients felt unwelcoming and dismissive without apparent justification. On multiple visits, I found the reception experience to be unhelpful and lacking in courtesy. There was an occasion when I was given information about staff availability that did not match what I subsequently observed during my appointment, which felt unnecessarily misleading when a straightforward explanation about appointment availability would have sufficed. On a positive note, I have had good experiences with some clinical staff members. One doctor I saw was particularly attentive and made me feel heard during my consultation, which is what I would expect from good medical practice. I also have consistently positive experiences with nursing staff during urgent appointments, who demonstrate a genuine commitment to patient care. I would strongly encourage the practice to invest in training for reception staff to ensure they interact with patients in a respectful and professional manner, or consider recruiting individuals who can meet these standards.
