I found out i was pregnant with a guy i just started dating. I knew i was in no position to have a child but did NOT want to go through an abortion, yet I knew I had to. I found Early Options on Google and figured I would try it out. I drove over 2 hours to get there and I could not have been happier that I did. The nurse "A" was the sweetest girl. She made me feel very safe and answered all 6 billion questions I had. The doctor was by far one of the most caring, sweet, genuine people I have ever met. I went to the Brooklyn office by the way. The first thing they do to start is give an ultra sound which is no pain at all. They give you the option to see the fetus but you do NOT have to look. Then they numb your cervix with a needle, it was a pinch but nothing major. Then they begin the procedure. I will not lie, it was VERY painful cramps but it is over in 2 minutes. I had NO cramps when I left and i was just spotting. No bleeding really at all. You really feel like you can leave the office and continue on your day physically, but everyone's different so you may want to rest if you are emotional. I was emotional during the procedure but the nurse stayed by my side the entire time and literally held my hand. They offer you tea and snacks and they let you stay in the procedure room for as long as you need until you feel you are ready to leave. And while I was in there the nurse stayed right by me. I am not really all about abortions at all, but I know sometimes decisions have to be made that are difficult, and if ANY girl/woman is put in this situation to make such a hard decision, and you find out early enough because you have to be 10 weeks or less, i PROMISE you, you will not regret taking the trip to early options in Brooklyn. Thank you to all the staff for making such a hard, life changing decision so much easier and more comfortable.

I was skeptical at first, after reading so many positive reviews it seemed too good to be true. But after going in this morning and having the aspiration procedure done, I am ecstatic to report that this office exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The staff and doctor were extremely patient, comforting and understanding. Being a 20 year old student this was an extremely difficult time for me, finding out that I was pregnant to begin with was traumatizing, the last thing I needed was to end up in a sketchy cold clinic. The main reason why I chose this office is because unlike clinics there is no need for general anesthesia and the aspiration procedure done here is extremely safe and almost painless(aside from bearable cramping at the end) done with 2 manual plastic instruments that aren't abrasive or dangerous in the least. Unfortunately other clinics do not offer this option and require the general anesthesia. Upon my arrival, during my procedure, and after my procedure I felt very safe and at ease. I was happy to be awake during the procedure and to be fully aware of what was going on. I had been anticipating pain and discomfort for the past week and am more than relieved to have chosen such an amazing place. I left the office in a little over an hour, It was quick, safe, easy, accommodating. I'm so happy that I chose Early Options and I would urge anyone in my position to go to this place, wish for everyone to have such a positive experience as I did.

From the moment you contact Early Options, you are immediately put at ease about your decision. From the consultative approach to the actual procedure, the entire staff is endearing, professional and provides an atmosphere of comfort that even the most nervous would appreciate. We contacted many providers claiming to offer this unique and exclusive approach yet none actually do what Early Options provides – a safe and exclusive service that is noninvasive, that is discrete and secure. My wife was back on her feet in less than hour – amazing recovery that was safe and fast. My wife and I are so grateful for their service. If one must pursue this option, we cannot say enough positive remarks about Early Options.

One word: great - Staff is just fabulously warm and these ladies have human qualities that are far beyond what I could have expected. Service was top-notch. From welcoming me warmly when i arrived, to the extra care and genuine interest they had in me and my life, the thorough explanations and instructions given, the reassuring words, the smiles, the efficiency of the doctor and her process, the medical assistant holding my hand and distracting me during the painful few seconds of the procedure, and the time dedicated to me afterwards. This is how it is supposed to be! No judgement, people who care, great service. This private practice should get all the advertising it deserves so that less women would be likely to go somewhere else where they are treated like cattle.

The staff here is amazingly supportive and the procedure was faster than I imagined. Post-procedure cramping was minimal, too. I am grateful to them for providing a caring and supportive space to have this procedure done

An easy non-invasive procedure. Six years ago I found myself pregnant after being raped. I called a number of gynecologists in NJ seeking an abortion or a referral but none would help. Searching on my own, I found Early Options; I was intrigued. Not only would they schedule me immediately, they were extremely professional, empathetic, they made me feel very comfortable plus they guarded my privacy . I made an appointment for a consultation, figuring I could still back out but after speaking to the doctor, decided to go ahead with the procedure & have the "aspiration". It was fast, easy, painless and a quick recovery. Fast forward to the present when I discovered that I was 7wks pregnant but the baby wasn't viable. Rather than going through the pain, mental anguish, the symptoms of a possible long drawn out miscarriage or a surgical D & C, I went back to Early Options. I can't rave about Dr. Joan and "L", her assistant, and the staff enough. They are caring, gentle and patient, answering all my questions and calming my fears. The procedure lasted less than 5 minutes, the cramping was less than a minute. I went out to lunch and back to my normal activities afterwards and have suffered no ill effects as a result. Why this is not offered more places or why so many health care professionals are not educated about this non - invasive procedure is beyond me!

A easy reassuring experience. I went to Early Options today to terminate my pregnancy at 5 weeks. I am a professional and could not take off more than half a day of work without causing a stir at my office. I called Early Options on Monday and they fit me in Tuesday. I had an abortion once before, many years ago at a clinic and it was a very scary experience. The phone receptionist at Early Options was so helpful and I honestly didn't feel like I was a bother with the many questions I had for her. I kept apologizing for keeping her on the phone so long but she never once seemed annoyed. When I got to the office, it was very discrete, something that I appreciated. There is nobody in the waiting room when you arrive and you are immediately escorted to your room. I brought a friend to keep me company and it was wonderful that she was allowed in with me. The nurse soon came in to see me and was so sweet, easy going, and just a wonderful person to have through this process. The nurse knew me 5 minutes and I felt like she was my friend/mother and that was exactly what I needed during this rough time. I didn't have to wait very long for the doctor. She was very calming and explained what I would be going through. The process seemed to go very fast. My friend was doing her best to distract me by reading a funny book and the nurse stood next to me and held my hand and helped me breathe. I'd say that was one of the most memorable parts of the visit. I truly felt that the doctor and nurse cared about me and my decision and respected me for it, something I don't think you see or expect to see at a clinic. The intense pain was bad, but it was 90 seconds at most. Nobody rushed me to get up and get dressed---I just sat with my friend in the room until I felt well enough to move. As I was leaving the office, the doctor came to give me a hug. I can't even explain how wonderful that made me feel. I never thought I'd walk out of an abortion feeling okay--well, better that okay. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone seeking an abortion to go here. It was definitely worth the cost---I don't care if a clinic would have been free, the care you receive is worth a lot more than you pay. There is no comparison between this office (and procedure) and a clinic. Please, if you have the option to come here to terminate a pregnancy, I highly recommend doing so.

Early Options was perfect!. After finding out that I was a week late in getting my period, I decided to take an at-home pregnancy test. Shocked beyond belief, it was positive. My fiance felt strongly that we shouldn't keep it and I struggled with the whole idea of not keeping it. I was raised that when I get pregnant, keeping the baby is the only option. I didn't want to ruin my relationship with my fiance, so I decided to look into my options. "Early Options" was the first step in my Google search. I felt so comfortable with what I read on their website, that I called immediately and scheduled an appointment. I was so emotionally frazzled that it didn't even occur to me to look for/read reviews. I'm hoping that if there are people out there who are looking for the best possible option, once deciding to terminate their pregnancy, that they choose to work with "Early Options". From the moment I called, it was professionalism at it's best. I called at 7:30am before going to work, so no one would hear me, and there was a live, understanding person there to answer my questions and ease my mind. When I arrived for my appointment, I couldn't help but notice how clean everything was. It was a bright, clean, cheery, office- which completely helped me to feel better about what I was about to undergo. The nurse and doctors listened closey to my feelings, concerns and took an interest in who I was. The level of care and attention to detail, is something I've never experienced before. All of my options and the potential risks were thoroughly explained to me. I highly recommend this practice. I'm so fortunate that this was available to me.

GREAT EXPERIENCE. When I found out I was pregnant, my husband and I knew we would not be able to go through with it. We talked with our previous OB/GYN who suggested going to planned parenthood. After a visit to that clinic I knew their was no possible way I could go back their. They do not allow anyone back during visits with you and the only choices were to take the pill or have a surgical procedure. We spent a few days researching online and found Early options. Although it was out of state, they allow you to have a companion/spouse with you which was one of my main priorities, and they have the non-surgical aspiration method. We made an appointment and visited the Manhattan office. The office was very friendly, clean, and personable. We were treated with respect and did not feel judged at all. We were immediately escorted into a exam room, and seen right away by the doctor. She explained everything that would take place, and how I would feel during and after the procedure. The assistant that was present was awesome as well, she assisted and was very comforting during the procedure. After almost 2 weeks I feel great and had no complications or any pain. I am glad we choose to travel to this office, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great, and experienced Dr, as well as a great team of staff members.
