Reception staff could be more patient and courteous

Generally, I have found this surgery to be satisfactory, though there have been instances where reception staff have displayed discourteous behaviour. I once noticed an unusual discolouration affecting my toenail. After consulting with a pharmacist who advised waiting several months before seeking further medical attention, I became concerned after conducting my own research into potential causes. When I eventually contacted the surgery to arrange an appointment approximately three months later, the receptionist responded dismissively to my request, questioning why I needed to see a clinician about a mark on my nail. Their tone was notably impolite. I subsequently raised the matter with a clinician during an appointment for an unrelated issue, and they reassured me there was no cause for concern. I have appreciated my interactions with this particular clinician and another colleague. **Edit I have since reduced my rating from four to three stars. I have been required to repeat blood tests twice within a two-year period. On the first occasion, it appears the test was requested but not processed, and on the second occasion, the sample appears to have been lost. Additionally, I feel that reception staff would benefit from allowing patients to fully explain their requirements without interruption. I find that I am frequently interrupted within seconds of beginning to describe my situation, and the staff member often makes assumptions about what I am asking for, which frequently proves to be incorrect. I believe there is room for improvement in this area.
