Worst medical care for young women ever

This medical practice is an absolute travesty and deeply offensive to young women. I've encountered multiple negative interactions with their 'physicians' who carelessly prescribe antidepressants or laxatives, with one Dr Patterson even dismissively asking me 'what I expected him to do' when I sought help for debilitating pelvic pain that was rendering me nearly immobile and in constant agony. The lack of empathy and understanding is appalling, and the receptionists are equally insensitive. After submitting a referral following concerning symptoms of extreme cramping and abnormal bleeding, I've been left waiting nearly two years to see a gynecologist specialist. When I followed up, a receptionist informed me that the female doctor I'd previously seen claimed there was nothing she could do. The receptionist, who had no personal knowledge of my medical history, proceeded to accuse me of lying and suggested that seeing a GP wouldn't expedite my specialist referral. This represents the most horrific experience I've encountered with a supposed healthcare professional meant to support vulnerable patients. As a young woman simply hoping to live a normal life with suspected endometriosis, I've never demanded strong painkillers or special treatment. I merely expected basic compassion and genuine medical assistance. I anticipated the female doctor would at least arrange an ultrasound to rule out serious complications like cyst rupture. I will absolutely never return to this practice and strongly advise other women to avoid this negligent facility. These individuals demonstrate complete indifference to patient health. I've endured nearly two years of agony, experienced multiple mental breakdowns, and desperately maintained hope in the healthcare system. Ultimately, I've transferred my care elsewhere due to their profound medical negligence.
