Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit around average, but this is based on very few comparable services. Recent reviewers more often comment on pricing in terms of communication, saying treatment plans, recommendations and costs are explained clearly, and one owner felt the focus was on care rather than profit.
