Pretty nice staff(durring the week), Need to shoo away the holy crusaders outside - ruins the comfort

I went here on two occasions, once for myself and then once with my sister in law. First I will start with my experience. When I first arrive there It wasn't on an inviting block (there was a church and some old private homes on the same street) then once in front the clinic I was horrified by the old pro-life couple that camps outside right in front its doorway with the most graphic pictures of dead babies. I went inside and was shock to see a security guard right there watching them and not even budging to shoo them away or stop them from trying to shove rosary beads and religious paperwork in my face. I did get inside and the lady taking my insurance cards was hasty, but as I got past her snooty behind the rest of the staff was pretty warm. When it came to the zero hour I was nervous because inside the op room looked big and scary with machinery I never seen before. The anesthesiologist was very comforting, warm, and even funny. He informed me on how the medication worked and what I would be feeling (which is a warm feeling cause for some reason they use Cheyenne pepper in their concoction) He didn't just dope me up. When I came to the staff was very comforting and quick to offer me medication, tea, and crackers. And refuse to let me go until I was able to walk a straight. Let me also add I went mid week like a Wednesday. Now me & my sis in law had to go & it was a Sat. Sadly more like an assembly line. I took her there despite the pro-life couple, mainly because the great staff, very informative doctors. And its a very very very clean facility. I would suggest anyone wanting to go here skip the weekend crowd because there is so many women there for wkend app that they are more rushed & insensitive and take less time w/ you at the front desk verses when you go during the week its less crowded & there's time for questions at the front desk & they don't rush you on through to the nicer staff. If you can ignore the couple, then its a pretty good experience.

• Pros: Very clean, warm staff, accepts insurance, personal & sensitive after care.
• Cons: Depending on the day there is an alternate of friendly staff & rude staff at front desk, pro-lifers out front mobbing you, they call out your full name in the final waiting area.
