Very Pleased

by ea1109 at Citysearch

I was extremely nervous and optomistic with just the thought of having to do this but from the very start when i called the woman answered all of my questions. A week later arriving at the office the nurse who took care of me new i was nervous and tried to distract me which was a great thing. She explained everything to me and gave me plenty of time to ask questions. The doctor did exactly the same and it was great to meet the doctor before it took place. She as well explained to me what would be going on and gave me an opportunity to ask questions. During the procedure both the doctor and the nurse had regular conversation with me and tried to keep my mind off what was going on. It was quite uncomfortable but not painful. It went very quick and i was back to normal in about 10 min. I was shocked as to how well i was so soon after. The best thing is i was able to have a friend with me the entire time, which of course was comforting. I would recommend this to any one who was thinking of having an abortion. I didnt care how much i would have to pay as long as i was well taken care of and as long as it wasnt a clinic setting. It was well worth it. Thank you guys so much for making this a better experience for me.

• Pros: Nice Staff, patient and thorough when answering questions
• Cons: None

extremely helpful, caring and gentle

by kasra13 at Citysearch

Its run by women and the staff is entirely women - very very patient and kind and gentle women who strive to make the experience comforting and seek to ease the anxiety their patients may feel. They achieve this through their professional stafff and office space design as well. This is not a clinic but rather a very private doctor's office setting. I went through 100% process with my girlfriend - was at her side the whole way and the staff encouraged it, as long as we were both comfortable. Highly recommended.

• Pros: very professional and helpful
• Cons: none

It is worth going to Early Options!

by 2NYC at Citysearch

There are not enough words to begin to describe this experience. The wonderful staff that is not only extremely knowlegable and patient, but the fact that they are truly dedicated to each of their patients is indescribable. No one ever imagines they may be in the position of having to go through such a trying ordeal, but Early Options makes a seemingly devastating situation managable. The minute you pick up the phone to make the consultation and appointment, you are greeted with great care and kindness. When you arrive in person to the minute it is all over, the entire staff is understanding, professional, kind, and make you feel as comfortable (emotionally and physically) as possible. I had done a lot of research before deciding to come to Early Options and am forever greatful for how they handle their jobs. It is clear that they really care and are a huge support system for those going through such a difficult time. If I ever had a friend or family member go through something like this, I would not hesitate to recommend Early Options. If you are deciding where to go, Early Options is worth visiting and really seems to the answer to an extremely difficult situation.

• Pros: Amazing and very knowledgable staff, very accessible

Great Staff

by nicole88 at Citysearch

From the minute i walked in the door the staff greeted me with smiles and made me feel very comfortable. I was so nervous that i was going to be in alot of pain, but let me tell you , the doctors give you pain meds and go so easy on you that all you feel during the procedure is like someone tugging on your uterus . weird feeling , but no pain. the nurse also talks to you the whole time n distracts you from whats going on. the whole thing lasted about 3 or 4 mins. but it went by soso fast. of course the experience itself would never be something great. but they make it as easy as possible n ease your worries. i would highlyyyyyy recommend easy options to anyone in the position i was in.

• Pros: very easy preocedure, no pain, wonderful staff
• Cons: none what so ever

The Experience was Great

by Ms Blue at Citysearch

I normally do not write my experiences but in this occassion I had to state my opinion. When i first got here i was scared because i never heard of a non surgical, and i was really thinking twice about doing this. But a child right at this moment would be very difficult for me, so i made up my mind. Everything that they said was informing confidential and true. Its a very quick procedure that's just like your normal pap smear. You rarely feel a thing! The nurse and the doctor give you as much information as need and you feel very comfortable and relaxed. They are awesome. If you have any doubt about abortions and you think its gonna be this BIG surgical procedure , think again and come here, they would have you feeling comfortable. I walked outta here in NO PAIN!

• Pros: Friendly and Fast

friendly and knowledgeable staff

by koglesby at Citysearch

I have experience in the medical field and have seen many clinics that perform similar procedures. By far, this clilnic is the best that I have come accross. The staff is very professional and very friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel as comfortable as possible. In addition to taking the time to provide information and answer any questions, they make the procedure itself as easy as possible and are very supportive. They welcome a partner, spouse, or friend to stay with you through the entire process, which many other clinics do not allow. This is a small clinic that shows that they really care---unlike many of the other options out there. This clinic is worth every penny and then some! What could have been horrible experience was surprisingly pleasant.

• Pros: all female staff
• Cons: none

Amazing staff & overall positive experience for a hard time

by CCLL at Citysearch

In an extremely difficult and emotional time, I was blessed to have come across this all-woman clinic. Though a little more expensive then your average price quote, the price includes all of the medical tests (sonogram, medication, procedure etc) which I don't believe most doctors offices include. It was extremely professional, kind and easy considering the circumstances most are faced in this situation. You are thoroughly prepped and give plenty of time to ask questions and address concerns. The actual procedure (aspiration) is a really great option and it extremely manageable in terms of pain and discomfort. I was there a total of 1 hour. It was well worth every penny and I have nothing negative to say about the experience, which I doubt many others can say. Bring a friend or partner for support. Though some people don't feel the need to rest after, I did. I took the whole day to rest, relax and recover. Highly recommended.

PS - after reading some of the suspicions re: fake postings, I will defend by saying I have never posted any reviews on Citysearch (though I'm a NYC resident) and decided to support Early Options with a positive review for 2 reasons 1) The nurse mentioned it would be greatly appreciated if I would add a review to Citysearch re: my experience and 2) I would support this clinic 100% due the experience I had. Just by making a phone call to Early Options you will get the vibe that this is a wonderful clinic. I had no referral here but went with my instinct....which I believe most woman do in this kind of situation.

• Pros: Friendly, comforting, knowledgable, woman staff
• Cons: Price

Safe Haven

by nsbnyc at Citysearch

The staff was very helpful to me on the phone as well as in person. This was a hard experience getting pregnant for the first time, let alone making the decision to move forward in abortion. When I arrived at the office, I was felt welcomed. They explained everything regarding the Early Options like Aspiration procedure which I underwent. They talked me through and made me feel assured and comfortable. I didn't know what to expect when I first got there. I also feared that I was going to be treated like a number or ashamed, but they really helped me feel comfortable and OK about the whole process. I truly thank the staff/doctor for all their help. For anyone making a tough decision like me, this is a place to go...

highly recommended female providers

by jbridget at Citysearch

This place came highly recommended to me at a very difficult time, but the staff are absolutely wonderful and they ease the experience and make you feel as comfortable as possible. I wish more females had access to great care, no matter the situation. Best of luck.

Aspiration Procedure

by Alexis Lexus at Citysearch

The aspiration procedure is the best out there. I would highly recommend it to any woman that is 11 weeks pregnant or less. It's quick, simple, no sharp tools and it only takes 3-4 minutes. I've had a surgical abortion before and it was a very traumatizing experience. The aspiarion felt more like a paps mear. Good Luck to everyone. Wish you the best!
