TLC is not just a Vetrinary clinic with HIGHLY trained and FABULOUS doctors/staff - but it's a 24-7, 365 days a year emergency hospital! Of course for some things you may pay a little more for treatment - but my dog is worth the quality of medical attention this place can give me at any time of the day and any day of the year. (Come on - If you can show up at 4am to have your sick animal tended to or looked after do you really expect it to not run a little higher on overhead??)
What it really comes down to is the incredible doctors... they're smart, well informed, and one of them is even really hot (if that's why you go to a vet). :) They have great bedside manner and have always taken great care in explaining every option for treatment to me to ensure that I'm doing the right thing for Chance (my dog) - which includes what I can expect, the costs of treatment, and the risks of non-treatment.
