Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit below average, but this is based on very few comparable services. One recent reviewer reports paying £86 for a Sunday visit for an allergic reaction, including an antibiotic injection and treatment for swelling, and several reviews describe the clinic as straightforward on costs and not inclined to overcharge.
