How we ranked these
Same rubric as every clinic list. Providers sourcing from unregulated suppliers are excluded, not ranked. Facts come from each provider’s own pricing, FAQ and terms pages, with regulator and court records where they exist. Scores are produced by a fixed table, so the same facts always give the same score. See the rubric.
