If I could give zero i would, i joined uni in September and have had nothing but trouble with the practice. Waiting 4 weeks for appointments, not giving me a meds review when requested. Also waiting 2 months for a simple documents for a job which meant I couldn't work for 2 months. When you actually see a Doctor they are good but I've only managed that once since September. If you are coming to uni in September register with another GP. Also they shut during uni holidays which is ridiculous as many students still stay in York, meaning that I couldn't get my meds dispensed and had to go through 111. Cant get ill during a holiday absolutely ridiculous.
My god this must be the worst Doctors I’ve ever ever experienced, you’re always caller 1 in the que for about 20 minutes because they’re sat on their arses eating biccies instead of doing work, all the staff who work there look dosile, be prepared to get an appointment 2 months later because they never have any available! If you miss an appointment that’s basically game over they’ll never give you one again trust me, highly recommend you go anywhere else, absolutely anywhere else.
Probably the worst doctor's surgery I've ever had to deal with in my life. They close at 12:45 every day which is utterly bone-idle and ludicrous. They never get back to you in terms of appointments and it's just a nightmare trying to get anything done. For any new students DO NOT REGISTER, go with an independent GP practice in York.
Waited 10 days for a call for an appointment and because I missed one call I have to now re book and wait another 10 days. I only need a quick 5 minute drop in.
Its a good set of doctors, however, the waiting times are extremely bad, it's constantly booked out (I had a 3 week wait for an emergency appointment or six working days to see a visiting nurse), and if the receptionists try to give you advice don't take it, I was told a swelling would be fine within two weeks and so I wouldn't need to see a doctor and here I am in excruciating pain six weeks later because the swelling got bigger and is damaging my nerves
