Reception staff were dismissive and unhelpful throughout

I had a deeply disappointing experience attempting to register at this practice after relocating from Scotland to Middlesbrough. During the registration process, I encountered what felt like insensitive treatment regarding my previous location, with repeated comments about the administrative burden of transferring medical records. As I was dealing with a significant health concern requiring prompt attention, being asked to wait three weeks for registration was frustrating. When I followed up during that third week, I was informed the practice had decided not to proceed with my registration, citing catchment area restrictions. I felt there was a misrepresentation of the situation, as I had clearly expressed my preference to register there due to its convenient location near my workplace. This decision has meant starting the registration process elsewhere, resulting in another three-week delay during a period when my health has deteriorated. Additionally, when I needed out-of-hours support, I was unable to access it without an active GP registration. The interactions with reception staff throughout this process felt dismissive and unhelpful. I would encourage others seeking reliable medical care to consider alternative practices, as my overall experience fell significantly short of what I would expect from a professional healthcare setting.
