Rude receptionists ruined my 25-year relationship
I've been a loyal patient at this medical practice for a quarter-century, but the quality of service over the past five years has been utterly unacceptable. The reception staff are shockingly discourteous, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional! After unsuccessfully attempting to schedule an appointment by phone and finding the online booking system non-functional, I personally visited the surgery as my last resort. I was confronted by an incredibly dismissive employee who couldn't be bothered to even glance up from her laptop while I was speaking. When I requested a complaint form, she and her colleague responded with mockery, laughing and making me feel humiliated by suggesting the form was pointless. How can healthcare professionals become so callous and indifferent? My heart goes out to elderly and vulnerable patients trying to access medical care at this facility, and I sincerely hope management implements substantial improvements to address these serious shortcomings.

5 years agoDear Mr Talbot, I am sorry to hear that your recent experience at Penn Hill Surgery was so unsatisfactory. I am particularly concerned that you were told that there is no point in completing a complaints form as we do take all patient complaints very seriously and discuss them and learn from them as a team. I would be very happy to discuss this with you further should you wish to contact me at the surgery. Kind regards, Louise Walker, Practice Manager

The reception team's conduct fell short of professional standards. This practice would not be my recommendation for those seeking care for the first time.
