"Rude receptionist "

About: Knoll Medical Practice

After visiting your surgery today I was appalled at the way your receptionist spoke to the patient in front of me. She was extremely rude to the elderly lady & berated her for missing an appointment she didn’t know she had. Then when I asked about an appointment after requesting my details she told me I had to do an Econsult tomorrow morning. I don’t know why she needed my details when she wasn’t going to provide any helpful I formation. When I said I had been trying to book an Econsult she started shaking her head and basically accused me of lying by telling me that the number of Econsults that had gone through that me. She was was again extremely rude. If this is what ‘high quality excellent service’ is then I I hate to think what bad service is. I am arranging to move surgeries as this one is definitely not one I want anything further to do with.

Dear Patient,

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your recent experience with Knoll Medical Practice.

I am disappointed to read about your experience and that you felt that a member of our reception team was extremely rude to an elderly patient and left you feeling appalled. It is absolutely never our intention to provide anything other than top quality care and this expectation includes our reception and administration team.

I would like to reassure you that we generally receive very positive feedback regarding our reception team, with many respondents to our friends and family survey citing positive experiences.

• “Receptionist and Nurse were helpful and polite” – 06.04.2024

• “Very polite receptionist” – 7.04.2024

• “Both my GP and Receptionists provided good care and service” – 16.04.2024

I would be keen to investigate the matter in more detail and would welcome any additional details you might be able to provide. I can be contacted directly at callum.mcque@nhs.net

Yours sincerely,

Callum McQue

Practice Manager
