Sent to clinic then told it's phone only
Disappointing experience at this practice. The current approach of conducting consultations remotely feels like an excuse to avoid in-person appointments. Patients receive messages directing them to attend the clinic, only to be told upon arrival that appointments will be conducted over the phone instead. I found one clinician's questioning style uncomfortable and inappropriate, and another staff member's manner towards patients came across as dismissive and unprofessional. The practice has changed significantly from how it used to be, and I feel the current team lacks the standard of care expected. I believe substantial changes to staffing are needed, and I have concerns about the practice's future viability.

About as useful as discussing your health concerns with a retail worker, except the retail worker would treat you with courtesy, whereas the staff here did not.
