The Early Options™ Model For Early Abortion

Specializing in the Safest, Most Gentle Methods

Early Options offers the most up to date early abortion methods: The Aspiration Procedure and the Abortion Pill.  These procedures are the most safe, natural, gentle ways to end early pregnancy.  In an Early Options visit, you can learn about both options and choose the best method for you.  Neither method can interfere with future pregnancies.

Early Abortion as a Mainstream Medical Procedure

The Abortion Pill and the Aspiration Procedure are simple procedures that can be completed in private medical settings.  Early abortion should be available in general medical offices.  Doctors and patients should not be politically targeted for providing medical care.  Women should be able to keep their medical decisions confidential.

Abortion Should Be Private.

Early Options™ offices look like any other private professional medical office. There are scheduled appointments, there is little waiting time and all medical care is conducted in a private examination room.  All medical care is completely confidential. This way, you can decide whether you want anyone else to know about your medical visit. 

Expert Board Certified Family Doctors.

All of our doctors are Board Certified family doctors.  All are Early Options™ certified providers, meaning they have completed rigorous advanced training in early abortion.  Most of our doctors are faculty members at prestigious medical centers and are leaders in Family Medicine.  Early abortion is well within the scope of family medicine. Family doctors are fully trained in well woman care, minor surgical procedures and obstetrics.

Experienced Women Doctors and Staff.

We recognize that many women feel more comfortable with women doctors and staff.  Our doctors have had procedures, and recognize the need for a gentle touch.  We know that at a difficult time, you are looking to be treated with respect, and without judgment.  We are here to listen, and to offer you our help.  

Companions Welcome.  Respectful Doctors. Supportive Staff.

You are welcome to bring someone to be with you for the entire visit.  All doctors at Early Options™ are family doctors.  We believe that developing a relationship between the doctor and the patient is central to helping people with their medical problems.  At Early Options™, you will meet your doctor as soon as you come into the office.  She will talk through the different options and help you choose the method that’s right for you.  You also work with one Clinical Assistant from start to finish and she will support you through your entire visit. 

Comfortable and Convenient.

Since Early Options™ only offers non-surgical procedures you can eat or drink prior to the visit.  The recovery time is minutes in a private examination room.  You can return to your normal activities when you leave the office.  If desired, you can use tampons or resume sexual activity the next day. 

Emotionally Supportive.

We believe it is common for women to experience unwanted pregnancy. It is common for this to happen more than once in life. We feel that medical care should be non-judgmental and supportive of women and their companions.  We do not support mandatory emotional counseling for abortion care.  We are available if you want to talk about your feelings and can offer you a referral for counseling if you need one.
