"Dismissing practice "

About: Monk Bretton Health Centre Practice

I recently visited this practice after struggling with ongoing mental health symptoms. Unfortunately, I left feeling dismissed and unsupported. My symptoms weren’t explored in depth, and the communication felt rushed and cold. I tried to explain the emotional context behind my health concerns, but instead of being met with empathy, I was left feeling blamed and hopeless.It was difficult to get a word in or feel like I was being listened to. This mirrored a previous visit from a year ago, where I also left distressed. I don’t feel safe returning here, and I will be registering elsewhere.I hope this feedback helps improve the approach to mental health care, especially when patients are in distress and need to feel seen and heard.
