Our physicians are dedicated to delivering the highest quality women’s health care in New York City.
Our Board-Certified doctors are licensed and registered in the provision of abortion care, in accordance with the rigorous standards of New York State and federal law.
All of our physician assistants, nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives have received training in the performance of abortions and in the prevention, recognition and management of complications.
All patients receive individualized and/or group professional counseling which include birth control information.
Female counselors, trained in women’s health and crisis intervention will discuss your personal issues and help you come to the best decision for you at this time. Parental or spousal consent is never required. You are assured that your privacy is completely guarded and the physicians and their assistants maintain strict and total confidentiality.
During the counseling session, we will tell you all about the risks, benefits and possible complications of abortion. We make sure that you understand your decision, that your decision is uncoerced; and that you are prepared to have an abortion.
We tell you about the particular clinical procedure, about what you should do after the procedure, and during the recovery period. We also encourage you to think about birth control and provide you with literature describing your birth control options.
We believe in using anesthesia, analgesia or anxiolysis to provide comfort during the abortion procedure for any patient in which the benefits outweigh the risks.
We also recognize that each patient’s comfort and reduced anxiety depend not only on pharmacologic measures, but are significantly affected by good counseling and by our supportive staff. We focus on providing a safe, clean and gentle environment which will facilitate each patient’s ease both before during and after the clinical procedure.
