Rude receptionist ruined my long-time practice

Edit: response from the manager just confirms how disconnected this medical practice is. As a patient, I have a fundamental right to privacy. The receptionist was not seeking necessary information, having already scheduled my appointment when she chose to probe further after I explained my inability to attend. Her statement, 'You know the doctor can't help you if you're abroad, so why make a phone appointment,' is completely inappropriate when I'm trying to consult my doctor about potential medical concerns that might impact my travel. Go elsewhere, they truly lack compassion here. I'm unfamiliar with this new receptionist, but she has completely discouraged me from booking future appointments at Glebe Road. Her demeanor is hostile and intrusive, and instead of simply scheduling an appointment as requested, she insists on offering unsolicited opinions and asking invasive questions beyond her professional scope. Unless she possesses medical credentials, I cannot comprehend why she feels compelled to interject herself into my personal medical matters. Medical issues are inherently private and confidential. My purpose in contacting my doctor is to speak directly with them, not to be interrogated by a receptionist. Having been registered at Glebe Road since childhood, and now approaching 30, it's deeply disappointing that this new receptionist seems intent on overstepping professional boundaries.
