Rude Doctor Questioned My Language Skills

During my two visits to this GP, I encountered Dr Simon Butler, who spoke to me in a manner that implied I might not understand English, based solely on my appearance. His approach was deeply offensive, making me feel uncomfortable and judged by my ethnicity and religion rather than being treated with basic respect. He attempted to normalize his inappropriate questioning, but it was clear that he would not have spoken this way to a white patient, despite the fact that language proficiency varies across all racial groups. Dr Simon Butler urgently needs to improve his communication skills and professional approach to avoid causing unnecessary distress to patients who are perfectly capable of understanding and speaking English. His discriminatory attitude towards visible Muslim women is unacceptable and unprofessional. I cannot recommend this doctor or his practice due to his shocking conduct. He should focus on developing genuine empathy, cultural sensitivity, and proper medical etiquette. His behavior is completely unacceptable and requires immediate correction!!!!!
