Price Promise

Why are you so much cheaper than other clinics? I don’t want to pay more than I have to but I worry I may be getting an inferior service.

These are comments we frequently receive and we have been advised on many occasions that we should increase our prices! We can state categorically that the quality of our services is our topmost priority. We want a good reputation for quality and value over the long term. We do not want to charge more than we reasonably need to. The reasons that we can keep our prices so reasonable and also (unlike most) be upfront with patients about prices in advance of treatment are as follows:

1. We only do veins and do them well. Most private hospitals subsidise other services by the profits made on vein treatments.
2. We treat very large numbers of patients which has five great advantages:
   1. Our huge experience enables us to undertake the treatments very quickly and efficiently and be confident that we can offer safe and effective outpatient treatment to all in a set time slot.
   2. We can negotiate very good deals on bulk purchasing of expensive medical devices, drugs etc. We can also demand our own exacting specification for all equipment.
   3. Our administration systems have been streamlined and our staff can deal knowledgeably and efficiently with most contacts.
   4. We make optimum use of expensive capital equipment and premises.
   5. We can afford to invest in the latest, the best and the widest range of equipment to give patients the most appropriate treatment for their individual needs. Be wary of clinics just offering one technique.
3. We utilise, where we can, our own CQC registered premises so are totally in control of our processes and costs.
4. We fundamentally believe that keeping prices low is good and fair and increases demand so we can:
   1. Continue to drive down costs and avoid inflationary price rises.
   2. Improve quality by constantly and rapidly increasing experience and expertise.
