Question:
Dear Doctor Joan,
I need an abortion and my school nurse is saying the best place to go to is the Planned Parenthood.  I go to college in NYC.  I thought they had a great reputations, but one of my friends didn’t have a good experience there.  She said it was very crowded and she said the staff were rude.  Do you recommend Planned Parenthood?  Are all abortion clinics crowded?  I’ve never had an abortion before, and I don’t know what to expect.

Dear Laura,

Planned Parenthood is generally a highly reputable clinic, but the offices vary, so they can differ in their size and style of care.  Overall, I recommend Planned Parenthood. I am familiar with the Planned Parenthood in NYC.  They have excellent doctors.  However, like any high volume abortion clinic on some days they can be crowded and staff can be impatient. You can look at some of the reviews of the NYC Planned Parenthood .   As you can see, some of the reviews are similar to what your friend described.

Of course I am going to recommend that you come to Early Options in New York City!  At Early Options, we have scheduled private appointments, we have a small waiting area and you are taken directly to a private room, you meet your doctor to discuss your options, you have a dedicated clinical assistant who makes sure you have a positive medical experience, all care is conducted in a private examination room, and companions are welcome.  We offer the nonsurgical, noninvasive Aspiration Procedure as the best way to complete an early abortion. With this procedure there is no scraping, no electric suction, no general sedation, no operating room.  This is the most safe way to complete an early abortion.  

In making your decision about where to go, you can ask questions about privacy when you call to make your appointment.  
1) How many women are scheduled to come in at the same time?
2) What is the size of the waiting room?
3) How long will I be in the office?
4) Can I bring a companion to be with me during the visit?
5) Will I meet my doctor before I decide about which early abortion method to choose?
6) Can I schedule a Manual Aspiration procedure?
7) Does the doctor scrape the uterus?

Take a few minutes to read the reviews of Early Options:

Good luck with your decision.  

I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
New York City
