Review titled Outstanding team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by MALCOLM FIRTH - Posted on 10 August 2024
I was referred to eye clinic by Vision Express on the 7th August and was seen the next day 08-08-24 by the day clinic. All the day clinic staff were amazing from triage to Consultants. Procedures were explained in detail providing me with full explanations of process and possible outcomes. I was readmitted for surgery on the 9th next day and again the service although pressure in time was outstanding. The treatment was second to none. The support staff and sister preparing me for surgery were amazingly helpful. Bless them didn’t even get lunch which I think needs address as by 4pm were visibly tired and flagging. Consultants were available to speak with and answered any questions addressing personal concerns. This department deserve a gold award thank you all the whole team for your care

Review titled Rock Star Treatment.
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Arrived at A&E 31/08/2024 08:15am, with stomach pain, examined by a doctor who sent me for a scan, the results showed a perforated appendix. The doctor explained I would be having an operation later that day. Arrived into theatre at 16:15 pm, the operation was a successful removal of the appendix. Discharged Monday 02/10/2024. Very happy to be going home for some rest and relaxation. Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff at York hospital for the great care and attention I received. Rock star treatment.

Review titled Outstanding Endoscopy Treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Pamela Ludolf - Posted on 06 July 2024
Having a colonoscopy procedure isn’t something one would normally wax lyrical about, but on Tuesday, from the moment I was handed into the care of the Endoscopy Department to leaving Recovery, I was treated with great kindness and patience. Every single person, who I came into contact with, ensured I was comfortable, understood the process and provided me with great dignity. My doctor was the epitome of a truly caring and gentle professional, who took the time to put me at my ease and explain what was happening throughout. I honestly felt I received five star treatment from this wonderful department! York Hospital, I applaud and sincerely thank you.

Review titled Amazing maternity unit
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 July 2024
I have recently given birth at York Hospital and due to a large baby, was being induced early. The care and support given to me by midwives both during and after labour was phenomenal. They supported me during what was a tough labour, and then whilst navigating being a new mum and an extended stay on the ward. I’d like to thank all the midwife’s, particularly those that helped me deliver. We will always be grateful you helped our baby arrive safely.

Review titled Kind and Quick
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bennie - Posted on 08 July 2024
I had been involved in a traffic accident a couple of days previously, and I had symptoms of an arm fracture developing. I took myself to the reception and from there to the point I saw a doctor I was met warmly and efficiently. I think the whole process only took around 40 minutes, too, and considering how busy it was, I was amazed how quick it was. The doctor who saw me quickly gave me a diagnosis and some advice. Great experience all round!

Review titled Shocking
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 June 2024
I didn’t want to go to A&E but my GP sent for suspected appendicitis so had no choice. One of the nurses came to talk to me about my insulin and eating, I tried to explain I felt too ill to take anything after I had been sick 3 times while I was talking she got distracted by the vending machine and bought herself snacks. The A&E dr though was absolutely lovely with me really took care of me he showed compassion and care which is rare for me to experience. Over the hours I got sicker and felt better then sicker. I was so ill by the early hours one lovely nurse found me a trolley on the trauma ward I had never felt so ill in my life. The biggest shock though was I had gone 13 hours without a drink and I kept asking 5 different nurses and never got any answers. The nurse on duty last night offered me a drink of water that wasn’t even mine it was a cup from a previous patient. Good Job I was on the ball. The A&E dr came to see me before he finished he could tell I wasn’t well where some felt I was faking it (history of mental health and that’s all some see). Discharged this morning while still very unwell as they couldn’t find a cause. Although a bad experience a massive shout out to 3 nurses and one dr!

Review titled Wonderful treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Phillip - Posted on 05 June 2024
I visited audiology for my new hearing aids. The person I saw was friendly and professional putting me at ease very quickly. The result was me leaving with new hearing aids setup and enabling me to hear things I had not for quite some time. I cannot fault the care and attention during my visit. Thank you

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paula - Posted on 10 August 2024
Mum who has dementia and suffered a fall went through a&e there was a long wait however staff were so busy! They met checking in my mum offfering food and drink! Admitted to ward 24, fantastic ward from those providing general support, those delivering meals, staff assisting mum to eat and the nurses and Drs. Yes they are very busy but my mum was cared for and I cannot complain about anything in her 5week stay! Drs and nurses kept me up dated. Frustrated when mum was ready for dis charge with social services who were slow to do anything, lack of communication! Assessment done over the phone!!!!!! On Mums last week she was moved to ward 29 again cannot fault the support, care and compassion given to her! Thank You !!!!!!!!!!
