Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit around average overall, but this is based on very few comparable services. One published fee previously noted was an out-of-hours consultation from £250 including VAT, subject to change. Recent reviews focus far more on the standard of care and responsiveness than on cost.
