Pricing

A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit around average, but this is based on very few comparable services. One published fee is an out-of-hours consultation at £130. Review comments on cost are mixed: some owners describe the clinic as good value or praise a detailed surgical quote, while another felt a £75 charge for 30 pills was too expensive.
