Pricing
Published prices suggest the clinic sits above average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. The clearest published figure is an out-of-hours consultation fee of £130, while the clinic also states there is no charge for out-of-hours assessment by phone. One unhappy reviewer said they spent £250 for two visits plus medication in a case they believed was misdiagnosed, but that is not a published standard price.
