Clinic research

Research private clinics before booking

Before I Book helps users compare patient experiences, prices paid, treatment journeys and practical questions before committing to a private clinic.

Patient-led. Moderated. No clinic-paid rankings. Free to use.

What to compare

Clinic research should go beyond star ratings

Private clinic decisions are often affected by pricing, communication, consultation quality, aftercare and whether expectations were explained clearly.

Patient experiences

What happened before, during and after the consultation or treatment.

Prices paid

Consultation fees, treatment fees, packages, histology, follow-up and unexpected extras.

Pricing clarity

Whether the clinic explained the total cost clearly before payment or treatment.

Aftercare

Whether aftercare instructions, wound checks, follow-up and support were clear.

Communication

How the clinic handled enquiries, booking, concerns, delays, complaints or follow-up.

Would users recommend it?

Whether users would return, recommend the clinic, or wish they had asked more questions first.

Start with treatments

Clinic pages will develop around real user submissions

Before I Book is starting with treatment-led research rather than publishing a large empty clinic directory.

As users submit experiences, prices and questions, clinic pages can bring together relevant information in a more useful way.

Starting focus

Mole removal, cyst removal, acne, acne scarring, pigmentation and melasma, and hair loss.
