Reception staff were dismissive about my concerns

I visited this surgery around two years ago regarding a swelling on my foot that was fluctuating in size. I was quite taken aback by the response I received during that appointment. Communication was difficult from the outset, and when I described and demonstrated the problem, I was told it was likely nothing and suggested that wearing larger footwear might help. I found this response disappointing, to say the least. After considerable back-and-forth, I eventually obtained a referral for imaging, which led to an arthritis diagnosis. I continue to use this surgery due to its convenient location, but the experience feels inconsistent and unpredictable, which means I tend to delay attending unless it becomes urgent. Additionally, I have found interactions with some reception team members to be unhelpful, and I have experienced what I perceived as dismissive and unwelcoming behaviour from one member of the nursing staff.
