Worst medical practice ever terrible service everywhere

This medical practice is absolutely the most dreadful I've encountered. The receptionist staff are incredibly discourteous and oblivious, seemingly dedicated to being as patronizing and miserable as humanly possible. Their answering machine message practically suggests patients should give up rather than seek help. You'll waste an entire morning queuing only to be told 'no appointments available' and instructed to email for prescription requests. Even when you finally get them to review a prescription, they consistently fail to forward it to the adjacent pharmacy, who are genuinely committed to helping patients. During my first pregnancy consultation, a male doctor's response to my announcement was a dismissive 'what do you want me to do about it?', which was mortifying. Similarly, when my sister experienced an early pregnancy loss, a doctor callously remarked 'it's not a big deal, it happens frequently', an utterly insensitive comment that deeply hurt her. I genuinely cannot identify a single positive aspect about this practice. They desperately require significant improvements, potentially starting with replacing the entire reception team and implementing comprehensive medical staff sensitivity training. An absolute zero out of ten experience - I'm actively searching for a new surgery.
