Reception staff were dismissive and repeatedly disconnected calls

I concur with the sentiments expressed in other reviews here. The reception team appears to lack adequate customer service training, and their approach to professionalism seems minimal at best. There is a perception that they communicate in a condescending manner, frequently interrupting patients mid-conversation and terminating calls abruptly. During one interaction, I was informed that my call duration had exceeded an acceptable length and that other patients required assistance. However, from my perspective, I had only been on hold briefly before being engaged in a lengthy discussion, during which my concerns were not taken seriously and were instead treated dismissively. On another occasion, a member of the reception staff indicated they would end my call due to another enquiry being handled simultaneously. When I explained the importance of my call and my involvement in the matter, my request was disregarded and the call was disconnected without further consideration. I experienced multiple call disconnections, and as a result, I chose not to attempt further contact by phone. I intend to escalate this matter through the formal complaints procedure. It is important to recognise that patients fund these services through their contributions, and it is reasonable to expect that reception staff treat all individuals with basic respect and understanding, particularly given that they cannot always be aware of the personal circumstances or emotional state of those seeking assistance.
