Receptionist refused to take urgent surgical referral seriously
A deeply disappointing experience. I was advised by a specialist last week to contact my GP practice regarding an urgent surgical matter. When I called, the receptionist's manner was extremely unprofessional. I was told that my call was inappropriate as it wasn't an emergency, despite having been informed by hospital doctors that delaying surgery could result in serious complications. The receptionist was dismissive, made me feel uncomfortable, and declined to identify themselves. Only after considerable pushback did they reluctantly agree to pass a message to a GP. I intend to lodge a formal complaint about this interaction.
I have been a patient at this practice for quite some time and have found the staff to be very helpful and friendly.
