Early Options®: The Private Alternative to an NYC Abortion Clinic
The New York City Early Options® abortion offices, located in Manhattan and Brooklyn Heights, provide a private alternative to NYC abortion clinics. Early Options offices specialize in discreet and confidential early abortion services in a professional medical environment. Compared to NYC abortion clinics, Early Options offices specialize in non-surgical early abortion methods offered in privately scheduled appointments.
The Aspiration Abortion Procedure and the Abortion Pill are the safest and most natural ways to terminate an early pregnancy. These simple noninvasive, non-surgical methods can be completed in a private medical examination room, similar to getting a routine gynecological exam or Pap smear. Patients have scheduled appointment times, and a typical office visit is only 1-2 hours. Patients are welcome to bring a companion of their choice for the entire appointment.
How is a Private Abortion Office different from an NYC Abortion Clinic?
Typical abortion clinics in New York City do not provide private abortion services. At Early Options® we believe abortion should be a confidential medical service, like all other medical care. Your medical care should be between you and your doctor. Other patients and community members should not be aware of your medical decisions. Some abortion clinics advertise that they are private. By private, they mean financially private – not discreet and confidential. Compare the standards of privacy between an Early Options office and a standard high volume abortion
clinic in New York City.

How is medical care different at Early Options® compared to an Abortion Clinic?
Early Options® specializes in providing early abortion care for women who are no more than ten weeks pregnant. Early abortion methods include the Aspiration Procedure and the Abortion Pill. These non-surgical methods are noninvasive and are the safest ways to end early pregnancy. No surgery means no scraping, no electric machine, no noise, no need to be put to sleep, no fasting, no operating room, and no recovery room. At Early Options® we feel it is important that you have a private consultation with your board certified doctor. She will explain these early abortion options so that you can make the choice that’s right for you. If you choose, your husband, boyfriend, or companion can participate in these discussions or the entire medical visit.
Abortion clinics offer Surgical Abortion (D&C) as their standard of care. Surgical abortion is usually recommended to all patients, no matter how early they are in their pregnancy. Surgery is completed in an operating room; recovery is completed in a recovery room shared with other patients. In preparation for a surgical procedure, you must fast from midnight the night before. Recovery takes hours to days.
