Reception staff were dismissive about missed appointment

I have great respect for the NHS and understand the significant pressures it faces, so I was prepared to wait patiently for three weeks for a telephone consultation that ultimately did not take place. When I contacted the practice to enquire about what had happened, I encountered a staff member whose manner I found quite unhelpful and dismissive. Despite having my appointment details clearly documented, I was told that appointment times are not guaranteed. The interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational. My details were taken, though I was then informed they had no record of my contact number on file, which seemed inconsistent given that this information is required during the booking process. I should note that I have been registered with this practice for seven years. While I recognise that healthcare work is demanding, I do feel that professional courtesy should be maintained when dealing with patients, regardless of external pressures.
