How It Works

Before I Book helps people research private clinics before committing to a consultation or treatment.

The site is built around real patient experiences, prices paid, practical questions and treatment journeys.

It is not a medical advice service and it is not a clinic.

How to use Before I Book

  1. Research a treatment

Start with a treatment or concern, such as mole removal, cyst removal, acne, acne scarring, pigmentation or hair loss.

Each treatment page explains what people commonly want to know before booking and links to ways to ask questions, share experiences or submit prices.

  1. Ask before you book

If you are thinking about booking a private clinic, you can ask a practical question first.

You might ask about:

  • a clinic
  • a treatment
  • a consultation fee
  • a quoted price
  • aftercare
  • what questions to ask before booking

  1. Share your experience

If you have already attended a clinic, you can help others by sharing what happened.

Useful details include:

  • what you booked
  • which clinic you attended
  • what you paid
  • whether the price was clear
  • what the service was like
  • what aftercare was provided
  • whether you would recommend the clinic

  1. Submit a price

You can submit a price even if you do not want to write a full review.

This helps other users understand what clinics are charging for consultations, treatments, packages, follow-up or extras.

  1. Compare clinic information

Over time, clinic pages will bring together patient experiences, price submissions, related questions and practical information to help users research before booking.

What Before I Book does not do

Before I Book does not:

  • provide medical advice
  • diagnose conditions
  • recommend specific treatments
  • verify clinical quality
  • guarantee outcomes
  • act as a clinic or booking agent
  • replace professional consultation

Content on Before I Book is based on patient experiences, submitted prices and general information. Experiences and outcomes can vary.
