Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Clinical care and professional competence are consistently praised, with patients noting compassionate consultations and attentive physicians. However, significant concerns emerge around access to services, particularly appointment availability and the booking experience. Several patients report difficulty securing appointments within reasonable timeframes, with some unable to register new family members or facing extended waits for telephone consultations. Reception experience presents a notable divide, with some patients describing staff as empathetic and helpful, whilst others report discourteous interactions and poor responsiveness to enquiries.

Prescription handling and communication issues have caused frustration for some patients, including problems with medication availability and non-functional appointment systems. Conversely, when urgent care is needed, the practice has demonstrated exceptional responsiveness and coordination with hospital services. The practice environment is described positively, with patients appreciating the clean, contemporary facilities. Long-standing patients report consistent standards of care and continuity, though newer patients sometimes encounter barriers to accessing services. The variation in experiences suggests inconsistency in service delivery, particularly at the reception and administrative level, despite strong clinical performance.

Great GP practice

We are so fortunate have access to such a good surgery. Amazing receptionists who are empathetic and really try to direct you to the right person within the practice. I’ve known Dr Utting and Dr Heath for 17 years, and they have always listened and treated my family with great care and compassion. The location of the new surgery is so much better and it has allowed the practice to grow and offer the services we need. On one occasion, needing a same day appointment, I was directed to the Urgent Care Centre in Easingwold and I had really good care from Fiona (GP). The NHS is under such pressure, it’s hard to sustain a high quality of care but we appreciate the whole team effort at Tollerton surgery. Thank you 😊

Life-saving care from an incredible team

These healthcare professionals epitomize the exceptional standard of the National Health Service. In January, they were instrumental in preserving my life. I want to extend particular recognition to Dr Robertson and the nursing staff for their continuous compassionate care and unwavering support. My appreciation knows no bounds.

Not fit for purposes

Absolute state of this place and the hysterical woman we were unfortunate enough to deal with. I’ve never in my life come across anyone so rude. This place and its staff are not trained or competent to deal with people who have mental health problems. This place is an absolute disgrace to the NHS and its hard working staff.

Speedy appointments and friendly staff nearby

Truly exceptional. I've been a patient here for twelve months. This practice is worlds apart from the impersonal medical corporations in York. They consistently pick up the phone quickly and efficiently. Their professionalism is impeccable. Booking appointments is swift. The staff are warm and supportive. The facility is spotless and contemporary. While local standards are demanding, this practice genuinely meets and exceeds every expectation. I consider myself fortunate to have such an outstanding local medical team.

Frustrating wait with no pediatrician help

Rude manager ruined everything

Terrible service experience. The manager comes across as combative and completely lacking in understanding. Just a string of weak justifications with no real resolution.

Late afternoon lifesaver at the clinic

In the past, I've been vocal about the challenges of securing appointments at this medical practice. However, a recent experience completely changed my perspective. Late in the day, I called with worrying symptoms, and the receptionist was exceptional - professional, warm, and incredibly reassuring. She quickly arranged an immediate consultation with a GP and a face-to-face appointment within just 15 minutes, despite the surgery being on the verge of closing. They efficiently scheduled hospital tests for that evening or the next day, and I even received a prescription, well beyond their standard operating hours. At the hospital, the process was remarkably swift, with tests taking merely 15 minutes. The attending physician promptly forwarded the test results upon receiving them. I am deeply grateful to everyone involved for providing what can only be described as exceptional, compassionate service and care.

Prescription lost and app not working

I was completely misled by their service. I called about an urgent prescription and was instructed to pick it up that afternoon, but due to timing constraints, I couldn't collect it before closing. When I went in the next morning, they claimed the prescription wasn't ready, despite having a clear message stating it should have been available that afternoon. It appears they essentially handed my medication to another patient and then fabricated an excuse. Now I'm left without my essential prescription, which is incredibly problematic. To make matters worse, their app has become completely non-functional after a recent update, and my only available break is at 1pm, which is after the dispensary line closes. This means I get reprimanded whenever I try to inquire about my prescription.

Frustrated by confusing vaccine age restrictions

I'm thoroughly disappointed. I arrived for my scheduled flu vaccine appointment, being over 60 and eligible, only to be informed that this particular clinic exclusively serves those 65 and older. This is despite the fact that the NHS website had no issues confirming and accepting my original appointment booking.

Awful receptionists ruin this medical practice

The administrative staff and practice manager provide absolutely terrible service. They come across as conceited, discourteous, and completely unaccommodating. Despite healthcare being their primary responsibility, they display zero compassion towards patients. I've experienced ongoing issues with this medical practice. While the doctors themselves are friendly and competent, the reception team is incredibly problematic. Securing a telephone consultation is an arduous process, and getting an in-person appointment seems almost impossible. The two-week wait for a simple telephone consultation is completely unacceptable. I cannot emphasize enough how strongly I advise against choosing this surgery for medical care.

Friendly doctors made me feel comfortable

I've been a patient at this medical practice for more than a decade, and they've maintained a high standard throughout. Currently, the entire physician team consists of female doctors, but as a male patient, I've never felt uncomfortable or out of place. The staff are genuinely committed to providing good care, though I've noticed the reception personnel can sometimes come across as a bit cool or distant.

Quick help when feeling rough

The front desk staff consistently demonstrate remarkable patience in a challenging role. It's natural to feel frustrated when you're unwell and seeking immediate care, but I've consistently observed that everyone makes a genuine effort to help. The physicians are attentive and professional, and the nursing team is exceptional. To those who complain about wait times, take a moment to consider the patient who just finished their consultation and the complexity of their medical needs!
