QuestionDear Doctor Joan,
I live in New York City. I missed my period one week ago, and my pregnancy test is positive. I need to have an abortion, and want to know the best abortion clinic in New York City. I have had an abortion before. I went to an abortion clinic and I do not want to go to a clinic like this again. They had protesters outside, and when I went in to the clinic, there must have been 50 people in the waiting room. I had a surgical abortion, but it was like an assembly line. It took 7 hours to actually have the abortion done! Here are my questions:
What is the best abortion clinic in New York City?
What is the best and safest abortion method when you are early in your pregnancy?
What is the Aspiration Abortion procedure?
Do you recommend the Abortion Pill?
Thank you so much for your time and answers!
Kelly
AnswerDear Kelly,
Your questions are excellent and you came to the right place! I am a doctor who specializes in private early abortion services in New York City. Unfortunately, most abortions in New York City are performed in high volume abortion clinics, like the one you describe. Many women do not know their early abortion options, and are only familiar with surgical abortions, or D&C's. They do not know that they can get an early abortion at a private office, instead of an abortion clinic. Our website is: http://www.earlyabortionoptions.com Make sure to look at the reviews from our patients.
The best early abortion methods are the Aspiration Abortion Procedure, and the Abortion Pill. Both of these abortion methods are nonsurgical, and noninvasive. Most women at Early Options choose the Aspiration abortion method because it only takes a few minutes to complete, there is minimal discomfort, you recover immediately, and there is very little bleeding. The Aspiration Procedure is different from a surgical abortion because there is no scraping, no electric suction, and no need to be put to sleep. The Abortion Pill is also a good early abortion method, however most women don't choose it because of lengthy bleeding, its lower success rate, and because it requires two office visits, instead of one. However, most women who choose the Abortion Pill method are very happy with it. The advantage of the Abortion Pill is that it can be completed at home, and the experience can be like having a natural miscarriage.
Early Options is not an abortion clinic. We are a private doctor's office with two offices located in New York City. One office is in Manhattan, near Grand Central Station. The other office is in Brooklyn Heights, just one stop over the bridge from Manhattan. At Early Options you will not have the experience that you had at a high volume abortion clinic. At our office you have a private appointment. You meet your doctor as soon as you come in, and she will discuss your early abortion options. Your can bring your partner, friend of family member to be with you the entire office visit. There is no assembly line, like at an abortion clinic. At our office you will be taken to a private examination room, and all of your care will be conducted in that room. You will have one dedicated clinical assistant with you the entire time.
I hope this is helpful,
