Phone queues leave you waiting without answers

The reception team appears to have reliability issues. When calling the surgery, callers often find themselves waiting on hold for extended periods while being told they are next in the queue, only to be disconnected after significant wait times without speaking to anyone. There have been instances where reception staff have been dismissive and unhelpful when discussing missed appointments. Although I have maintained a good attendance record, the system previously showed several missed appointments that I did not miss. When I raised this concern, the reception staff were defensive and insisted the record was accurate, despite this later proving to be an error within their system. No acknowledgement of this mistake was offered, which was disappointing. It is unfortunate that the reception experience has been problematic overall. That said, there is one particularly helpful member of the reception team who consistently provides good service, and the clinical staff at the practice are excellent.
