Reception staff attitude made appointments difficult

I have been attending this surgery throughout my life. It was once of a high standard, but the experience has deteriorated significantly. Accessing appointments with clinical staff has become increasingly difficult. The reception team appears to take on a role beyond their remit, offering guidance in a manner that feels dismissive. Consultations are now restricted to telephone contact only, which feels limiting. The reception experience has been a source of frustration, with interactions feeling curt and unhelpful. I am uncertain whether the clinical team is fully aware of the current situation. Changes seem necessary. The reception area often appears busy and chaotic, and I find myself unfamiliar with many of the clinical staff now working here. The primary concern remains the reception team's approach. Their manner is abrupt and unhelpful, and it feels uncomfortable to discuss health matters with someone in an administrative role who then determines whether clinical assessment is appropriate. This dynamic is discouraging and affects my willingness to seek appointments. I have been a patient here since the practice's inception, and the decline in service quality is noticeable. Both my husband and I are now hesitant about booking appointments. I struggle to understand why clinical and management staff appear to rely solely on reception staff accounts without giving patients an opportunity to contribute their perspective. When disagreements arise, there seems to be no mechanism for resolution, leaving matters one-sided and unresolved. Being contradicted about interactions that did not occur as described is distressing, and there appears to be no avenue to address this or ensure the accurate account is heard.
