Reception staff rudeness and lost test samples repeatedly

This has been the worst surgery I have been registered with. The majority of reception staff come across as unwelcoming, the premises are outdated and would benefit from refurbishment, parking is extremely limited, and there have been several instances where samples we provided have gone missing, requiring us to provide new ones after following up on results weeks later. Getting an appointment is extremely difficult. I called just after 8am to request an appointment only to be informed they were fully booked, and when I asked about alternative dates I was told appointments can only be booked on the day and to ring back at 8am the following morning. It seems unusual that all slots would be taken within minutes of the lines opening. Additionally, I found my experience with one particular clinician to be very disappointing. He appeared disengaged with patients, and on one occasion my partner had to wait over half an hour before being called in while he was occupied on his phone. During my own appointment, I had to wait for him to finish texting before he would engage with me. He does not appear to listen properly to what patients are saying, and his standard recommendation seems to be over-the-counter pain relief for most issues. The overall impression was that business operations took priority over patient care. I would rate this practice at the lowest possible level, and I am relieved to no longer be registered there.
