Boots on Coney Street is the largest of the many branches that Boots have in York's city centre. It…read moreappears to have had a minor refurbishment recently, so the store does look fresh and modern, compared to some other Boots stores which are going on a bit now. As well as the Pharmacy that you find in every Boots store, there is also an Optician and Hearing Care facility. Prices are competitive, other than the food/drink section, which I always find to be rather expensive at Boots compared to rival chains, as they rarely seem to have any offers in that section, combined with higher prices before promotional offers even come into play too. The selection is reasonable, the staff were friendly enough and this is a good Boots location overall that I would return to on future visits to York. 4*

When we were last in London (4+ years ago), we'd bought an item at a Boots Pharmacy that's only…read moreavailable via prescription in the U.S. - and since our insurance deductible is high for certain items such as this one, we were anxious to buy more of that item when we next visited England. We went to this Boots Pharmacy today ("pharmacy" being a huge understatement, as the store is large and it's very much like an American chain store) and bought the item we needed. The man who rang up our purchase (in the pharmacy section) was SUPER-friendly and we had a delightful conversation with him. Also; the store is well laid-out & very clean, and the selection looked very good.

It's bad enough if you're feeling poorly let alone feeling poorly in a small town, potentially…read moremiles away from your nearest pharmacy. I am pleased to be the bearer of good news to those new to the area of Oakwood and Roundhay - Oakwood pharmacy is near! Situated along the main strip of shops on Roundhay road, just before that awful junction and traffic lights section, it is easy to find and really handy. They sell a number of useful products, cold and flu medicines, shampoos, bath items, plasters, skin creams and all of the usual items that you would expect to find in a pharmacy. The staff also seem pretty helpful. We've all got those niggling questions that aren't quite big enough to warrant a doctor's appointment, so in this event, just nip in and ask - that's what they're there for! Another handy shop in the heart of Oakwood!

Since changing doctors I always use this place to get prescriptions. I was there just this morning…read moreto fill a prescription of antibiotics for an ear infection that has been causing me untold amounts of pain the last few days. Although I love big branch pharmacies such as boots because of the huge range of make up and bath bubbles, I really appreciate the speed at which this place gets you your medication. When you are feeling ill the last thing you want to do is to wait 15 minutes for the pharmacist to get you the drugs that are fingers crossed going to make you feel better again. This place is a little rescue from having to cue for ages and it's well stocked with treatments you don't need to see your doctor for. For such a small place they have an impressive amount, from make-up to protein shakes, splints and slings to all you need for the colds and flu viruses that tend to make their rounds this time of year.

It's a little embarrassing, and certainly becoming rather immobilizing, but since I fell over in…read morethe ice and snow I've had a recurring pain (which can be pretty sharp at times) in my posterior. I think it was from practically doing the splits one day on the ice, which caused me to seriously pull/bruise the muscle. Anyway, having done this I now seem incapable of walking for longer than an hour without really needing to sit down! I feel like an eighty year old. So I was walking about Crossgates, and the pain began to flair up. So, I decided to nip into the pharmacy and ask for some advice. I made my way to the counter and asked the lady's opinion on painkillers. I think she noted the obvious distress and so advised me to purchase the higher strength ibuprofen, but not before sternly telling me to see a doctor *and* practically making me promise not to take one of the painkillers until I'd had something to eat! It was really really sweet, and I really appreciated it. She also advised that I could only take 3 a day, one every four hours, so there was no way I could take the incorrect dosage unless I was a total plank. As far as the pharmacy goes, they had plenty of useful medicines and products on offer, despite being a bit of a dinky store. There are seats to sit and wait for your prescription, which were looking rather tempting to me at this point, and the other staff also seemed to be friendly! For the kind advice and great service, I was really pleased. Happy customer!
