Receptionist left call unmuted during request

I recently had a disappointing experience while attempting to obtain medical information from the practice. I called to inquire about receiving a printout of my test results, specifically regarding allergy-related information. During the call, which lasted approximately 6 minutes, I was concerned about what appeared to be unprofessional conduct from a member of the reception team. After being asked to hold, the call was not properly placed on hold or provided with hold music, which meant I could hear conversations taking place within the office. I was troubled to overhear what seemed to be inappropriate behavior, with office staff appearing to make light of my request and engaging in activities unrelated to patient care. This included comments that I felt were dismissive of my inquiry. This experience fell short of the professional standards I would expect from a medical practice. Patients should be treated with respect and dignity, particularly when seeking assistance with their healthcare needs. I hope this feedback will encourage the practice to review their telephone protocols and reception procedures to ensure that all patient interactions are handled professionally and courteously in the future. Every patient deserves to be treated with appropriate respect and care.
