Worst doctor ever rude and dismissive

This review pertains to a GP, Dr. Fatima Gillani, whom I recently consulted, and it was an absolutely dreadful encounter. I'm dealing with a shoulder injury and severe tennis elbow, but more critically, my mental health is at stake. (I have a longstanding history of mental health challenges) Consider that I've previously received private healthcare through work, where an arm specialist definitively concluded my tennis elbow was a severe case likely requiring surgery and physiotherapy. This doctor performed a few range-of-motion tests and elbow presses, then casually declared, "yeah that's healed". I experience daily pain that intensifies dramatically with exertion! She claims no inflammation means healing, which I argued contradicts a specialist's professional assessment. She then impatiently told me, "Paul, we need to hurry up, I have other patients!" in an incredibly dismissive tone. This immediately triggered my mental health sensitivities, and I desperately wanted her to explain how three brief movement tests could possibly constitute a comprehensive healing assessment! Regarding my mental health, her approach was shockingly hands-off - she asked ME what I wanted to do, offering zero professional guidance or compassion. I couldn't escape her office quickly enough. At the front desk, while booking a two-week medication review, I informed the staff (who was wonderfully supportive) that I never want to see this GP again. By then, I was publicly weeping, which surely does wonders for my mental well-being! I'm absolutely disgusted by this treatment and believe her professional capabilities should be seriously scrutinized. There are details I cannot fully articulate and would genuinely appreciate management intervention to discuss this matter. Will this be addressed, or merely ignored? I deeply sympathize with anyone forced to interact with Dr. Fatima Gillani, particularly those struggling with mental health issues.
