Receptionist kept passing me to call back tomorrow

Around seven months ago, I experienced what I felt was a diagnostic error at Hillside that had serious consequences for my health. Following this incident, I decided to pursue private health insurance. I currently have a shoulder issue and have been calling Hillside repeatedly requesting a referral, only to be repeatedly told to call back the next day. I also contacted my insurance provider, who advised me to request an open referral from the practice. When I made this request, the receptionist informed me that no one was available to assist and asked me to ring back in four days due to a bank holiday period. Overall, I found the experience frustrating and felt the service fell short of expectations. In a follow-up note, I received my open referral approximately a week after submitting this review. I felt that the staff should have possessed better knowledge of available options than I did as a patient. I was also disappointed that no apology was offered for the earlier situation or the difficulties experienced in obtaining the referral.
