Reception staff attitude needs improvement
Some of the reception staff can be quite abrupt and lack warmth in their interactions. You would expect a more compassionate approach to be part of the role at a medical practice, but this doesn't appear to be the case here.

I was seriously considering making a formal complaint. *UPDATE* A member of the management team contacted me the day after I posted my review. I have to acknowledge that they handled the situation exceptionally well. They took time to listen to my concerns and responded with genuine understanding and care. Since I was quick to share my negative experience, I felt it was only fair to return and acknowledge when things are handled properly and deserve recognition.
