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 website lists an out-of-hours consultation fee of £130, and also states there is no charge for assessment by phone for out-of-hours care. Reviews include one owner who felt the practice was priced “very fairly.”
