Such great staff! I’ll never go to Planned Parenthood👎🏽 1st time here was 2013 & couple more times since then but every time I feel comforted & safe. No pain & process was quick to me. Pregnancy symptoms didn’t wear off until 3-5 days after which is expected. Make sure you have a trusted driver due to me having to stop frequently to throw up a few times after abortion. May be protesters outside but they are not violent in any way. This is YOUR LIFE YOUR DECISION ❤️❤️ blessings & sending love your way ladies!

ALL of the staff was sooo friendly & comforting! From the phone call & help with Marie, to front desk, to the nurses to the anesthesiologist, everyone was THE BEST! I love them! Typing this brings tears to my eyes b/c they were all truly the best! They were sweet, patient, friendly, informative & what impacted me the most is they seemed to genuinely care! The circumstances of why I was there wasn’t ideal, but they helped assist with the best guidance & care! Blessings to all of them!

I was well taken care of by Marie! She was super caring and helped me a lot throughout my process. She made sure that I was taken care of and explained to me in details about my appointment, what it would be like, costs and help I could receive, etc. She was amazing!

I have my reasons as to why I decided to proceed with an abortion, but this place was a very welcoming, loving place. I felt very comfortable. Staff was kind, front desk was also very kind. I got told by many women that this place is very good, and i agree. I believe women should come to this place for any type of treatment. it was my first and only abortion and I don’t regret receiving healthcare here. I hope to not return for any other conditions but I did have an amazing experience, I will be recommending this place...Read More »

PROFESSIONAL, On time, no long waits, they seem to care and treat you with respect. The nurses and staff were nice, NO bad attitude or being rude. I do recommend this clinic to any woman that’s considering abortion.
