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 reviewed Sunday visit for an allergic reaction cost £86, including an antibiotic injection and treatment for swelling, and several owners describe the practice as fair, straightforward on costs, and not inclined to overcharge.
