Information about the facilities and services on offer by the various healthcare providers is displayed on our website to help visitors make a decision in choosing to have treatment at that clinic. Should they chose to contact a selected healthcare provider, their details will be passed to that provider to allow them to contact the prospective patient directly, to give them a quotation and / or arrange treatment.
Information displayed on the Web site that relates to healthcare providers, is either provided directly by them or published with their permission. Any information written by RightClinic.com is checked and approved by the providers prior to being published online.
