OMG!!! The Best Service I Ever Recieved

by Shaid at Citysearch

Fast totally safe and the service is awesome!!!! I have had two surgical terminations and I felt like complete crap afterwards, two very horrible experiences. But here it was a pleasant given the situation, I felt like I was in very capable hands. I would suggest this for any and everyone who needs an early termination. I know your probably thinking I don't believe it but really it was absolutely great service and way better than a regular abortion the pain is so much more tolerable.

• Pros: Staff was friendly and supportive, almost painless
• Cons: none

A Blessing Among Women

by HappierNow at Citysearch

My husband and I really wanted a baby and we had the miracle and joy of getting pregnant on our first try. However, it was not meant to be as our little angel passed away when I had a miscarriage early in my first trimester. We were devastated.

My OBGYN wanted me to have a D&C but I knew this was an invasive procedure that could compromise my future fertility. Even she advised me of all the risks. I knew then that it was not for me. So I searched for a much more gentle, holistic option. Surely, there was a better method than one involving sharp scraping and complications like uterine scarring and perforation!

I found that blessing in Early Options. My body did not respond to the medication that was supposed to induce the miscarriage and the baby had already passed away naturally a week before. So I needed help in passing the tissue and avoiding an infection.

From the moment I called, I knew I had found the right place. The office managers D and B (you ladies know who you are!) were fantastic and asked all the right questions. You could hear the compassion in their voices and I knew these were caring women who would take good care of me.

Throughout this emotionally painful process, I could not have asked for a better place to find the closure that we needed. Dr. W was amazing and took the time to answer all of my questions in a way that my pricey Manhattan OBGYN never did. She was also very caring and thorough.

It only lasted a few minutes and the worst part was just a few seconds of cramping. I felt better immediately. Instead of lying in a hospital getting a D&C, I got to hold my loved one's hand and get immediate relief among people who really care. They are truly angels.

I wish more women knew about this and I am spreading the word already. It is empowering for women to know that they have options. They don't have to have a D&C if they lost their baby. This process if much kinder, gentler and even therapeutic. If I had a D&C, I'd still be lying in bed bleeding and sad. At least now, I feel like I have my life back and even feel hope for a future baby, though we will always remember our angel baby.

Thanks to all the wonderful women at Early Options, especially B, who was like a sister in my time of need. God bless you all.

• Pros: Compassionate care, thorough medical evaluation
• Cons: Wish I'd found them sooner

The Only Way

by AM827 at Citysearch

From the minute my boyfriend and I walked in we were made to feel comfortable and everyone was very friendly, kind, considerate and caring. They let us take our time and gave us many oppurtunities to ask any questions we had. I found Early Options because a friend had used them and she said that it was great. The aspiration procedure was uncomfortable, yes, but not nearly as bad as I had expected. I am and very very squeemish around doctors, needles and getting undressed in front of people. The atmosphere here made me instantly relax. The skeptics on here really don't know what they are talking about, although Early Options seems too good to be true, it is really the only way to go.

• Pros: Doctors, procedure, Staff
