Rude receptionists make healthcare access frustratingly difficult

I make every effort to avoid contacting or visiting the surgery due to the reception staff's condescending and intimidating approach, often lecturing without complete understanding. After my operation, I attempted to schedule an appointment for dressing change as directed by the hospital and mentioned needing a new sick note. At this point, the receptionist launched into a lecture about self-certification for the first 7 days, completely derailing the straightforward booking process. I was suddenly being accused of shouting when I was simply speaking normally (being a non-native speaker) and providing information she clearly did not comprehend. I now understand why calls are never answered, given that patients must endure a 20-minute ordeal just to book a simple appointment with a doctor. Regrettably, this is not my first instance of needing to file a complaint. The staff consistently portrays the surgery in a negative light, despite the doctors being consistently helpful, accommodating, caring, and ready to assist. It's truly unfortunate that patients must navigate through such challenging reception staff to access the medical care they require and are paying for.
