Pricing

Available published prices indicate the clinic sits below average relative to similar practices. The website lists an emergency consultation fee of £130 for consultations between 7pm and 9am. Review comments are mostly about the quality of care rather than cost, although one owner felt a follow-up visit for the same problem should have been explained more clearly because it led to another consultation charge.
