I was really nervous about my visit. I watched the WHO video on MVA (I would not recommend that people watch--its my personality, so I did).

When I entered the office, everyone was very nice. I was greeted by an awesome medical assistant. She was very professional, knowledgable and compassionate. Throughout my 6 wks of pregnancy, I never felt as comforted as I did when my nurse 'A' said "I know that you do not know me, and I do not know you, but my role is to be here for you and to make sure that you are ok." I felt so good after hearing her say that. I know that she was sincere- she really meant it!

The doctor was also amazing. She was completely non-judgmental, informative, and really made me feel at ease. I felt very comfortable with Dr. M. The procedure was quick and even though pricey, it's worth every cent. Privacy, compassion, respect, and empathy are all worth the cost to me. I don't believe you can find this at other places- I've researched it.

Thank you Early Options staff!

The staff members were very kind and comforting. However, the compassion came at a very high price considering not only the $1200 cost, but the procedure was very painful to only be given a strong dose of ibuprofen. Stronger pain medication absolutely should be offered beforehand. If I had to choose again, I'm not sure I would choose this route. I could have been put under for less, or perhaps taken the pill for half the price. I can't imagine that the pill could hurt any worse than this procedure did, wide awake :(

Such a well run, patient friendly, calm and supportive doctors office. Everything is discreet and SUPER professional from the time you make your appointment. The questions are not invasive over the phone to make you feel like an appointment file and not a person. I called a few other offices and the difference in service was remarkable. When I arrived at my appointment, there was no one else in the waiting room but a lovely receptionist who welcomed me. They had healthy snacks, water, and tea to offset the strong ibuprofen you take - that is all you take, no anesthesia. You are then taken to your own private room which is really clean and surprisingly comfortable. You have your own nurse who takes you through the set-up. She was amazing! So friendly and personable, I felt like an individual person throughout. I was so calm and relaxed that I wasnt nervous about the procedure by the time we saw the doctor. Everyone from end to end was remarkable - I enthusiastically recommend Early Options. The office is lovely as are the staff. It is expensive as they do not accept insurance but if you are able to afford it - there is no other option.

Upon entering this office, I was immediately put at ease. The doctor and her staff were all very nice. I feel very grateful and lucky to have found such a facility, with a remarkable staff, efficient doctors, and within reasonable distance to my home.

I've not had other abortion experiences, but my experience here was as good as it could be. From the moment I contacted them I knew I was going to be in good hands - they were helpful, kind, and absolutely non-judgmental on the phone and in person. The doctor and her assistants were thorough in explaining exactly what my options were and in how the procedure that I had chosen would be done. Even better, my boyfriend at the time was allowed to be in the room with me throughout the procedure. What a compassionate and comforting staff to be around in such a chaotic time.

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.
