Reception staff were dismissive and sarcastic

I attended this practice to arrange an appointment regarding a follow-up concern from a previous procedure. When I contacted the reception team, I found their manner to be dismissive and unhelpful. The receptionist questioned why I hadn't addressed the issue sooner and responded with sarcasm when I explained my situation over the phone. When I requested to speak with a manager, I was told I was being dishonest and making false claims. The manager defended the receptionist's conduct and suggested I was the one being rude, rather than addressing my concerns. I then asked to escalate the matter further to senior management, but the call was terminated without explanation. Additionally, I was offered an appointment at very short notice at a location some distance away, despite not being well enough to travel. Throughout this interaction, I felt the staff were unprofessional and dismissive of my needs. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this practice, particularly if you have mobility difficulties or require considerate handling of sensitive health matters.
