Patient stories of care

I don't usually leave reviews but in this case I think I have to. I've been to lots of pharmacies around York and the staff here were so helpful for me, answered any questions I had, and were extremely patient the whole time. I will definitely be coming back here when I need to go to a pharmacy.

I always get prescriptions in time, and the service is excellent. Didn't have any problems and staff, including the pharmacists, are friendly

Staff + Pharmacists especially have always been so kind and considerate whilst I’ve been there.

I needed to get my medication, in my moment of need the staff at Witworth were amazing! After a day of trying to contact my GP and going to my usual chemist for help and getting nowhere the staff at Whitworth had it all sorted within 10 minutes and were so helpful and kind to me.
