Assessment & Intake

When you arrive at our clinic, we’ll first perform an ultrasound to determine how far along you are in your pregnancy. This will be followed by an initial consultation with a doctor or nurse. We’ll discuss your decision, your health, and which treatment is best for you.

Treatment

The type of care that’s right for you depends on how far along you are in your pregnancy and your preferences. Sometimes you can go home right away, and other times you’ll stay for a few more hours. Our team of experienced doctors and nurses will guide you through every step and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.

04
After treatment

Aftercare

You can count on us even after your treatment. We’ll provide you with clear instructions regarding recovery, bleeding, and when to contact us. Be sure to schedule a follow-up appointment after 3 weeks, either with us or your primary care physician. We’ll also give you advice on contraception so you can continue to protect yourself effectively.
