Reception staff were dismissive and aggressive on the phone
I am extremely frustrated with the reception team's approach during my recent interaction. I called today to inquire about a referral matter. I was told that the case wasn't a priority and that other patients were being dealt with first. While I understand that multiple patients require referrals, the manner in which this was communicated felt unnecessarily harsh and dismissive. The tone of the conversation was aggressive, which seemed uncalled for given that I was simply asking routine questions. When I requested to speak with a manager and asked for a callback, the staff member raised their voice and suggested I was being confrontational. Shortly after, the same person became upset and attempted to apologize, mentioning that they are a parent and therefore understand my concerns. However, this felt contradictory given that moments earlier I had been accused of being aggressive, when in reality I was asking straightforward questions that fall within their job responsibilities. I am deeply disappointed by what I perceive as a lack of empathy, thoughtfulness, and basic courtesy from the reception team. The practice should reflect on how their staff interact with patients seeking help.
The department was unhelpful when my friend called regarding a health concern. The response over the phone was dismissive, which was very disappointing.
