Appointment Availability
and Pre-Operative Instructions
Abortion procedures are performed on
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Pre-operative and
post-operative appointments are scheduled at your convenience.
Appointments can be made by calling the facility of your choice
and speaking with one of our counselors. We will make every attempt
to accommodate you at your convenience. Any special medical or
emotional concerns should be brought to the attention of the counselor.
- You must not eat or drink anything after
midnight the night before your appointment (including gum, candy,
cigarettes or water). Your stomach must be completely empty for
your safety so that we may offer you a choice of anesthesia options.
- Please have one adult accompany you so that
you will have a ride home. Our waiting rooms have limited space,
so please bring only one escort. Patients having local anesthesia
need not have an escort.
- Please shower on the morning of your appointment.
- Please wear a loose fitting two piece outfit.
- Please bring your insurance card, any required
referrals, and a photo I.D.
- Out of consideration for others, please arrange
for the care of your children at home. Our waiting area cannot
offer accommodations for children.
- Your specific appointment time is reserved
only for you. If you are unable to keep your appointment, or need
to change the time of your appointment, please contact the office.
- If you have been instructed to bring any
medication, for example, your asthma inhaler or insulin, please
be sure you have your medication with you.
- DO NOT TAKE ANY MEDICATION ON THE MORNING
OF YOUR APPOINTMENT (especially insulin) unless our doctor tells
you to do so.
