Bad

Terrible service and complete communication breakdown

This is absolutely a terrible first impression. As a newcomer to the area, seeking a non-urgent but important medical appointment, I'm already frustrated. The triage form claims maximum submissions have been reached (at 9:15am), blocking my online access, and the phone lines are impossible to connect to. After finally reaching someone, I was instructed to submit the triage form the next morning, which I did promptly, requesting a callback by midday, understanding some of us have schedules to maintain. Unsurprisingly, no contact came through. Now I'm forced to disrupt my entire afternoon by visiting the surgery in person. The inefficiency is infuriating and emotionally draining. It's clear this practice has zero consideration for patients. The reception staff's attitude was equally dismissive. Apparently, the phone representative who previously assured me I could request a specific callback time was fabricating information. The form's callback request section is completely meaningless, with staff calling whenever they feel like it. Am I meant to feel apologetic about their workload? When told 36 other patients are waiting, I'm not sympathetic—I'm convinced this surgery is fundamentally incompetent and unfit to provide medical care.
