I went for a consultation today at the Fulham Clinic. I paid £50.00 for the appointment or so I thought. I probably saw the doctor for no more than 15 minutes (professional though he was). On exiting the clinic I was chased down the escalator by a staff member saying I still had another £100.00 to pay for the pleasure. Had I known a simple 15 minute consultation would cost that much I wouldn't have booked it in the first place. It's not clear from the site that you will be required to pay an additional £100.00 for the appointment, nor did any of the staff ever mention it over the phone when taking the booking. 'Shocking' is the word. I had to reschedule my appointment three times and at no point was there any mention that I would be charged an additional £100.00 on top of the £50.00 fee Private or not, that is an insane amount for a 15 minute chat.
I understand businesses have high overheads in London and salaries to pay but really?!? £150.00 for 15 minutes?!? I went for the exact same treatment whilst living in Barcelona. The consultation was €70 or free since I went ahead with the treatment which came to €140.00.
Sk:n want to charge me over £300 for the exact same procedure. I'd be cheaper flying to Spain for the day to get it done.
Disappointed to say the least. Sorry but severely over priced and misleading. read more
