Phone photo diagnosis delayed proper treatment until Monday

I contacted the practice this morning to arrange an appointment for my teenage daughter, who had developed a skin condition. After researching online, I believed I had identified the issue as a fungal infection requiring medical treatment. A clinician from the practice called back and declined to see my daughter in person, instead requesting a photograph of the affected area. My husband provided a photo, but I found myself needing to follow up for a response. When I eventually spoke with the clinician, she advised that my daughter did not require treatment and provided a link to information about what she thought my daughter's condition might be. However, the images in the link did not appear to match my daughter's actual symptoms. I attempted to call back, but this occurred on a Friday evening when the practice was closed. Consequently, any potential treatment has been postponed until the following week. I found this approach to be unhelpful and believe that an in-person consultation would have resulted in a more thorough assessment, provided reassurance to my daughter, and enabled prompt treatment to be arranged. We are disappointed with the level of service received.
