Reception staff unhelpful and unwilling to assist

I have been a patient at this practice for quite some time, and I have noticed a significant decline in the quality of service recently. There is a receptionist whose demeanor comes across as unwelcoming and dismissive, and the overall helpfulness of staff members appears to have diminished. I observed what appeared to be a concerning situation where a patient in need of urgent attention was given an appointment several weeks in the future rather than being seen promptly. This approach to patient care seems inconsistent with the compassionate approach one would expect from a healthcare setting. Additionally, I was previously informed that an exception could be made for a family member's routine appointment despite living outside the practice area, as it was deemed important. However, this commitment was later withdrawn, and I was subsequently told the practice could no longer assist. What would have been a brief appointment has now become a source of considerable frustration and stress, as I was given assurance weeks earlier that this would be accommodated. Being given a commitment and then having it reversed has left me in a difficult position during an already challenging time. I would not feel confident recommending this practice to others. It is disappointing when healthcare providers do not demonstrate the level of care and support that patients deserve.
