Review titled Wonderful care.
by GemDW27 - Posted on 12 December 2023
My 10-year-old son attended the outpatients department for surgery on his mouth. Every single member of staff that we met was so kind, caring, friendly and knowledgeable. It was the first time my son has had any type of treatment so we were all nervous. I could not have asked for better care. He was quite poorly after and the first thing he said when he came round was that the staff had been so kind to him. The kindness and comfort we were given made a very difficult day as easy as it could.

Review titled Thank you
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Caroline Helfferich - Posted on 18 December 2023
The Neurologist cannot be faulted, amazing service. They quickly saw me and got everything sorted. The lovely Dr/Consultant in G1 was amazing. After having a stressful few days previously they got; MRI, bloods, lumbar puncture and medicines organised. Thank you for all your help and making me feel at ease. I might get to walk the Reindeer Rush after all but I will be handing my santa suit over to someone else this year but because of you guys I get to see my class before Christmas.

Review titled Fantastic care for my son
by KateyB - Posted on 03 November 2023
My son attended York A&E department with a laceration to his hand. From arriving to A&E all the staff treated him with lots of care and professionalism. The care he was provided with was fantastic, and I am very grateful for that.

Review titled A&E visit
by Alan35423 - Posted on 28 November 2023
Had to go to the A&E dept of York hospital November 2023. Had a hip problem that I need some medical assistance with. We were there for about 6 hours. The dept was very busy. Although it was a long time, we were met with nothing but helpful, informative staff. All were friendly and helpful, always had smiles on their faces. Credit to all the different medical personnel we came in contact with. Even the senior doctor took time to explain the medical treatment his department was delivering. Well done NHS York.

The Ophthalmology department at York Hospital enabled me to see the world again through my left eye. I have keratoconus and without the care and support I recieved from this department, I wouldn't be able to see like I can now. I am eternally greatful for everything you have done. Thank you so much. You are truly wondeful people!

Review titled Very difficult to reach
by earmarkhb86 - Posted on 14 November 2023
Appointments always get cancelled and are very difficult to reach that I believe it's led to possible permanent joint damage.

Review titled Fantastic staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Alison K - Posted on 03 November 2023
I was taken by Ambulance to A&E following a hip fracture whilst on a weekend away in York. The Ambulance staff were lovely and one even came back to find me at the end of his shift to see how I was. Care in A&E was very good and every member of the team so caring and kind. Was admitted and had to undergo replacement hip surgery. Most of my stay was on Ward 15 and I have nothing but praise for the nurses, health care assistants, cleaners etc each of whom was friendly and cheerful which means alot when you are along way from home and feeling very vulnerable. The surgical team including the anaesthetist kept me fully informed about the timing of the operation and the best choice for me. I'm now on my way back to Surrey to recover thanks to everyone at York Hospital.

Review titled Felt comforted and informed at all times
by Sj12 - Posted on 12 October 2023
Absolutely brilliant unit, always so friendly and caring. I’ve had to have 2 scans in the last two weeks and the nurse and sonographer on both occasions were amazing. Luckily, we had the outcome we wanted and just wanted to say how comforted and informed we felt at all times. Thank you!

Review titled The care I received from all the staff was amazing
by cheetahtk64 - Posted on 13 November 2023
I was admitted having had chest pains on train and thought it was heart burn but it didn’t go away and got worse. I was on my way to north of Scotland and had to get off train at York. Train station staff called for ambulance. Lovely paramedics took me in even though ECG didn’t indicate a heart attack but blood test at hospital did. Miles away from home and travelling on my own, it was very stressful to be told I’d had a heart attack but from start to finish the care I received from all the staff was amazing. I stayed in CCU unit overnight and was taken downstairs for an angiogram in the morning and a stent was fitted successfully. I felt so much better afterwards and was discharged the following day. Thank you to all. I will never forget you. I wish I had all your names to mention but special mention to Laura, staff nurse who spent a lot of her time with me on my last day there answering all my questions and giving me some food from the cafe to take on long journey home to Kent.
