Review titled Mixed messages
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Toomey Anna - Posted on 11 September 2024
Trying to get my prescription renewed was problematic and was delayed by the pharmacist who said I needed a repeat thyroid function assay. . I had one in July and I am attaching the message from my GP Dear Mrs Toomey, Your recent blood test for your thyroid shows that you are on the correct levothyroxine dose. Please continue this and have another test in 12 months time. Thanks Dr ( not allowed to mention name on this site but it should be in my notes York Medical Group I will have the required test but but I feel it is a poor use of time and resources. ? Better communication between all. I have twice had to go in person to the surgery to find out what’s happening. Regards

Review titled Excellent practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John Kilcoyne - Posted on 17 June 2024
Having requested an urgent appointment on two occasions in the late morning I obtained a face to face appointment with a gp in the afternoon of the same day. The gp whom we saw on these occasions was superb as were all the other doctors we have been fortunate to meet since we joined the practice last year. All the other staff we have encountered in the practice have also been most helpful.

Review titled Where is the service?
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 March 2024
After waiting for contact in reply to a request for an appointment for over a month after completing the "Online Request" form - contacted the surgery only to be simply put back in the que for an appointment with no contact to understand the issues (the form is totally useless as not relevance to condition) and no date for an appointment - the service level is a very unfunny joke and a risk to patient health. Little wonder A&E is under extreme pressure when GP services are so poor in their response -

Review titled Shocking
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Tracy Ostle - Posted on 05 July 2023
After finally getting to speak to a doctor, who was not exactly over polite. I was told to go and pick up a form for blood tests. I was exhausted but finally got the energy to go there after checking the opening times on-line. It was closed, I called them, staff training! No notice on the door. Really upsetting. I will go again in the morning and hopefully at least get a form

Review titled Appalling service

Having used the Klinik system to try and avoid overwhelming the telephone appointment system I have been informed I will be contacted within 7 weeks. This is an abysmal service

Review titled Very helpful staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ann Bevan - Posted on 11 May 2023
My husband has a very painful condition (polymialgia) and often needs immediate help with his meds, ymg have been amazing from caring receptionists to doctors. I understand people's frustration when they cannot get an appointment but, if patients didn't just not turn up when they have an appointment (160 in January and similar numbers in following months ) then there would be spaces for a lot more people. Very pleased with the treatment we received.

Review titled Ridiculous!!!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 January 2023
I filled in the klinik form online, was referred to a pharmacy instead of actually been contacted by the surgery. The pharmacy I was referred to don’t answer the phone or just hang up on you. What is the point? Where is the genuine/medical care? We are people not just a number!!!!
