Receptionist hung up the phone without explanation

I had a disappointing experience with the reception team today. When I called, I was initially first in the queue, though I recognised they were busy. However, the call was disconnected shortly after being answered, and I had to ring back and wait again, this time further down the queue. When I mentioned this issue to the receptionist, they did not acknowledge or address it. I had to say hello to confirm the line was still active. The response was brief with no apology offered. Throughout the conversation, the tone remained quite curt, and the call ended without a proper farewell. Having worked in a similar role previously, I would have handled the interaction very differently and would never communicate with a caller in such a manner, particularly given they were a patient. It is unfortunate as the rest of the practice staff are genuinely pleasant and helpful. I hope the practice can identify the staff member involved and provide appropriate feedback. The individual had an older voice and did not introduce themselves before ending the call abruptly. The interaction fell short of the standard I would expect and suggests this person may be better suited to a role that does not involve direct patient contact.
