"Interaction with member of staff"

About: Parkfield Medical Centre

(as a parent/guardian),

Probably the worst person and the most rudest operator. I didn't catch their name, as they said it too fast.

Waiting for almost 24h rs to get a call back, finally got a call back and spoken to by someone who not only didn't understand but refused to listen and spoke all over me. Asked what if that was their mum - they then told me to stop getting personal. I never swore, never commented on them, only asked what if that was their mum.... trying to get them to see where I was coming from. 

Threatened to cut me off - even though I wasn't rude, asked to speak to someone else, refused. 

Probably the worst, unsympathetic person I have ever spoken to - let's hope they don't experience the same level of bad service they gave to me.

I called back - waiting 1 hr on the phone in a queue of 25, finally spoke to a lovely member of staff, who apologised on their colleague's behalf, and told me everything will be OK.

5 mins later got a call off a doctor, saying that they'd be at the nursing home the next day, as they always make a visit. I could discuss the rude operator with doctor then. Didn't feel as though the doctor had listened to me, as they thought I was my 81-year-old mum's mother - well that would be a miracle - made me laugh, but at the same time, have a feeling that the rude operator had asked the doctor to call me - however, would suggest that the management listen to the call - judge for themselves who was rude and inappropriate and would they have threatened to terminate the call?

Dear Daughter1942

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you have not had a very good experience with our surgery and are disappointed by the attitude of the receptionist. Unfortunately as I am unable to identify you from your name I'm unable to currently investigate this for you. If you wish to discuss this further please contact me at the surgery.

Kind regards

Rachel- Practice Manager
