What the clinic has said
Editorial verification pending. This clinic has not yet been contacted for right of reply on this automated draft. Clinics may correct facts, supply their authorisation, warranty and registration documents, and respond to any complaint before it is finalised; a response can change the score but cannot remove a documented complaint or buy a rank. Any response and its effect on the score will be recorded here and in the change history.
