Reception staff made me feel unwelcome and dismissed

I have registered at numerous medical practices throughout my time and have never experienced difficulties, but I must say this is the most disappointing I have encountered. The reception staff member was exceptionally impolite, unprofessional, unhelpful and condescending. I was treated disrespectfully and was required to wait an extended period for an urgent appointment. The clinician I consulted with was excellent, which makes it particularly unfortunate that the reception staff conduct themselves in such a negative manner towards patients. Update I returned a year later for a routine vaccination appointment. The healthcare professional administering the vaccine was wonderful, displaying cheerfulness and compassion. However, the reception staff member remained very unwelcoming. I felt discouraged and they appeared frustrated when I needed to ask about the online appointment system. I explained that I was unable to access the online booking function and that my only alternative was to use the e-consultation option. Their response was to dispute what I was saying and suggest that I would have received documentation about this when I first registered. I clarified that I had only been given a registration form and nothing further, but they maintained that I must have received additional paperwork and terminated the discussion. I sat in reception feeling taken aback that they had essentially contradicted my account. I also observed that they were curt, abrupt and appeared frustrated with every patient who approached the desk. The situation remains unchanged after a year, and I would still rate this practice one star due to the reception team's conduct.
