Reception gatekeeping makes appointments nearly impossible

I was a patient at this practice from childhood through to my late twenties, and regrettably, I cannot suggest it based on my time there. A particularly frustrating element of this practice is the significant gatekeeping carried out by the reception team. It appears that they establish many obstacles to obtaining care, making it very challenging to secure an appointment. Calling at 8 am when the lines become available often feels futile because, consistently, all slots are allocated within minutes, typically by 10 past. This has left me and numerous others feeling powerless and overlooked. In conclusion, although there may be capable clinicians working at this practice, the substantial gatekeeping, challenges in booking appointments, and the dismissive approach to certain health concerns make it difficult for me to endorse this practice to others. Access to healthcare ought to be a fundamental entitlement, and it is disappointing to encounter these obstacles in place.
