Reception staff unable to help with basic queries

I registered at this practice in October 2017 when I relocated to the area. Looking back, it was a decision I came to regret. My initial appointment was a disappointing experience, as the clinician's manner was quite harsh, and I left feeling upset. When I subsequently called to raise my concerns, the response I received was unhelpful and dismissive. I'm not entirely sure why I remained registered here, though I should note that I don't typically require frequent medical consultations. Today I rang seeking guidance regarding a family matter, only to be informed that the staff member I was speaking with was unable to assist and suggested I call back the following day to speak with a colleague who was unavailable. I also requested help with accessing the patient portal, which I had registered for but struggled to use due to my caring responsibilities at home, making it difficult for me to visit in person to resolve the password issue. Once again, I was told this couldn't be addressed and that I would need to ring back tomorrow to speak with someone else. It appears frustrating that certain staff members seem unable to resolve straightforward queries, with the impression that only management has the capacity to handle matters effectively. This raises questions about staff training and capability. I have found my experience with this practice to be largely unproductive, and I have decided to seek care elsewhere. I will not be continuing my registration here.
