Unfortunately I had an awkward interaction with reception staff. I called to try and change an appointment and was told this couldn’t be done on the phone (fair enough). I was told to call in the morning. As my appointment was the next day and phone lines didn’t open until 09:15, I came in early to see if earlier appointment available. I was told that the way to change appointment was to leave message for the clinician.
This could have been done the previous day.
Whilst I understand the staff on reception have to deal with awkward clients, I found the member of staff to be a bit unkind/unreasonable. Things were out of their control but I think it could have been done in a nicer way. Also I think that if there hadn’t been a communication failure the day before there wouldn’t have been an unpleasant incident at all.
"Could be kinder"
