Review titled Fantastic service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gillian Redman - Posted on 03 September 2023
Went at 10am Sunday morning to be faced with a full waiting room, at least 12 people in front of me. Called in at 11.05, dealt with extremely efficiently with empathy and came away with a prescription. We are lucky to have such a good service. Thank you

Review titled Refused to see my 4 year old daughter
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Thomas - Posted on 31 August 2023
Having previously used this service with no issues, I was appalled by my experience this evening. I arrived with my 4 year old daughter who was clearly crying and visibly in distress at 9:30. I was told the nurse would not see her as she finished at 10. There was only one other person in the waiting room who had apparently taken the last appointment. There was no compassion or care shown by the two receptionist who clearly just wanted to go home. I’m obviously aware that everyone has a finishing time but I fail to see how a 5 minute appointment could not of been squeezed in for an ill 4 year old. The suggestion to simply go somewhere else was also not helpful. There was not even an offer to help find me somewhere else to go, they simply said try your doctor or Pontefract. The website clearly states opening times are up until 10pm. No where does it state you might get turned away if we don’t want to see you because we finish bang on 10. If the service finishes at 10 then state on the website that the last entry will be 9:30. At least that way we would know before driving for 25 minutes to get there. As a result of this my daughter was incredibly distressed and we had to drive across to a different service which resulted in her vomiting in the car. This could have all been avoided had the service been clearer and more compassionate.

I was sent to the centre by a Pharmacist due to an insect bite. I was seen quickly, the prescription was sent to a nearby chemist and I received helpful advice.

Review titled Brilliant service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Alice Crossley - Posted on 22 July 2023
My little boy suddenly was screaming in pain at bed time and crying, I took him straight to the walk in centre and was seen within 10 mins, the doctor who saw him was amazing with him and even provided him with an additional dose of ibuprofen and sorted the antibiotics so we didn’t have to go to a chemist late at night. He went from screaming in pain to being contently fast asleep all within 2 hours. Can’t thank the doctor enough I appriciate it so so much!

Review titled Compassionate service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 31 May 2023
Had to bring my teenager in as an emergency over the bank holiday. They were visibly anxious and overwhelmed initially by the waiting room environment. Staff saw and approached us, offering us a side room to use while they able to regulate themselves. Gave us water to drink and checked on us regularly. We were able to move into the main waiting room eventually. Also, really appreciated having this service available over the bank holiday.

I have just visited the Centre and was extremely pleased with the advice & service that was provided. The nurse I saw was very efficient, but also caring at the same time.

Review titled Great experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rebecca - Posted on 02 September 2022
I had a really great experience here. All the staff were patient, kind and made me feel welcome. A really clean and bright waiting room. My treatment room was highly cleaned and nice. The nurse who treated me was knowledgeable, explained everything and kind. She went out of her way to make sure it was as pain-free as possible and helped me. Barely waited at all to be seen. Really great experience, highly recommended.
