Reception staff made booking a follow-up appointment difficult

I found the customer service experience to be quite poor, which appears to be a concern others have also raised. When attempting to arrange a follow-up appointment for an elderly relative, the process felt unnecessarily complicated. I was given reasons such as requiring authorisation and potential waiting periods of several weeks, along with instructions to call on a specific day. This was particularly frustrating given that we had been advised by another healthcare provider to schedule this appointment to receive results and undergo further assessments. With my background in customer service, I felt the manner of interaction fell short of professional standards. The receptionist involved could benefit from additional training in patient communication. Given the age of my relative, I would have appreciated a more proactive approach, such as leaving a note for the clinician or exploring alternative options to facilitate an appointment. These kinds of considerations should be part of standard practice rather than something that needs to be requested. Overall, I was disappointed with how this situation was handled.
