Reception staff blocked access to doctor appointments

This practice has significant issues. The clinical staff are competent, however the reception team requires improvement as they operate an overly restrictive gatekeeping system that prevents access to doctors for non-emergency concerns. On several occasions when I have contacted the practice regarding test results, a receptionist attempted to provide medical interpretation rather than simply passing information to the clinical team. The reception staff appear to overstep their role. I have decided to transfer to another practice. The front desk team would benefit from retraining on appropriate boundaries and patient communication.
