Transparent pricing and reviews: Each clinic displays assessment costs (e.g., from £395), typical wait times, patient ratings from Google reviews, and tags for shared care, prescribing, and payment plans, enabling objective comparison.
Educational resources: Beyond the directory, the site offers guides on Right to Choose, diagnosis, symptoms, treatment, and living with ADHD, helping users make informed decisions.
