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.

Important note
Before I Book is not a medical advice service and does not verify clinical quality, endorse specific clinics or guarantee outcomes.
Information may be based on patient experiences, submitted prices, public information and community discussion. Before booking any clinic or treatment, users should carry out their own checks and seek professional advice where needed.
