Ampleforth & Hovingham Surgeries

Whether at Ampleforth or Hovingham surgeries, the receptionists or doctors go the extra mile to see one asap or to do their best to accommodate an appointment. Each member of the surgeries is friendly, professional . Keep up your fantastic work!

The staff here are good, my doctor (Howlett) is always very kind and helpful. The dispensary is well stocked meaning you can often get the treatment you need on the day and not have to take your prescription elsewhere. Parking at the front is available. This surgery recently reopened in Spring 2018 after extensive building work to extend the property meaning treatment rooms are more spacious and better designed, helping this surgery treat the local community. You usually have to call two weeks before you want to be seen, though as this surgery works closely with Hovingham there is a little more flexibility for those who drive. Last minute appointments are sometimes available.

Both my partner and I have had nothing but good service from Ampleforth surgery. My partner especially has been extremely well looked after. We are both very grateful that we have them as our local surgery. My main reason for wanting to write a positive review however is because of the receptionist/administrator Joy ...she really is a Joy. Whenever, I or my partner have been in she has been genuinely friendly, upbeat, helpful and just makes you smile. Exactly what you need when you are going to doctors whether it is for good or bad. Don't get me wrong, all of the staff we have dealt with have always been lovely but sometimes credit should be given where it is due.

Brilliant staff/service, makes larger/inner city surgeries look a joke. Seem genuinely bothered.

This is an absolutely terrible surgery. I won’t go into details however, I am really unhappy with how this doctors surgery has treated myself, relatives and other loved ones. I would personally avoid at all costs.

I am a new patient here. I recently had a bone graft on my foot. After using all the pain relief I was given on discharge from the hospital, I rang and spoke to one of dispensary team to ask if a GP could prescibe more. The person I spoke to was very helpful, and the following morning I recieved a text message telling me the medication was ready to collect. Excellent service.

THANK YOU DR DEANE JACOBS, currently of Ampleforth Village Surgery near York, for SAVING MY LIFE this week. Fifty wasps or more stung me many miles away from A&E in a field in Oswaldkirk and I had a life threatening anaphylactic shock. Miraculously, Clare at the Ampleforth Surgery (thank you so much Clare too) had the good sense to advise Dr Deane of the reported incident and he attended very quickly. His ability and manner were profoundly able, effective, kind and professional. Even not fully conscious, I could just make out most of his reassurance and explanations of what was going on as I was seemingly losing it and his fast medical interventions, along with help from others including First Responder Dave Thompson (thank you so much Dave), saved my life. Had Dr Deane not attended and so promptly, I am told I would not be here to write this review. The ambulance crew, A&E and York Hospital were spendid too, once help from far away arrived.

Seems to be one of the few surgeries that is trying to look after its patients. All of my friends who are with doctors in York are not having the same experience. Well done A&HS
