Reception staff were dismissive during phone call
My partner is a patient at this surgery. I have found the reception staff to be unwelcoming on occasions. My partner is currently managing a spinal condition and relies on this practice for pain management support while awaiting specialist assessment. My partner is experiencing significant discomfort and anxiety, and I recently called on their behalf. I felt the interaction was handled poorly, and I was taken aback by the tone of the response I received. I have requested details about how to obtain a record of the call and would encourage others to keep documentation of their interactions with the practice as a safeguard. We attended the local hospital emergency department on a holiday and encountered some very professional staff there, which made me reflect on the variable quality of service we experience elsewhere. I now feel apprehensive about making further contact with the practice, concerned about how future calls might be received. It is disappointing that an organisation tasked with supporting our healthcare needs has left me with this impression. That said, I should note that the clinical staff have consistently provided good care during our visits, and both my partner and our young child have been treated well by them during previous appointments.
