Unhelpful receptionist ruins medical practice experience

In the past, I've always received excellent care from Statham Grove GP when I needed medical attention in Stokey. However, over the last year, a particular receptionist has made me contemplate changing practices. Acting as an obstructive gatekeeper, she has twice denied me GP appointments during my pregnancy. Her approach is consistently rude and patronizing. Yesterday, she redirected me to an NHS helpline, where I endured a 2.5-hour wait, only to be told I needed to contact my GP directly. I'm now uncertain how to proceed, as the prospect of calling and facing her intrusive questioning is deeply unappealing. During an already stressful period, and as someone who rarely seeks medical help, I find her demeanor incredibly frustrating. A previous review confirms I'm not alone in this experience. It's genuinely disappointing that this employee appears unsuited to a customer-facing position. My recommendation: if you genuinely require GP care, firmly state to the receptionist that you do not wish to discuss your symptoms with them.
