Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit above average, but this is based on very few comparable services. The clearest published figure is an out-of-hours consultation fee of £130, with no charge for out-of-hours phone assessment. Review comments on cost are limited, though one unhappy reviewer mentioned unexpected charges.
