Planned Parenthood

Great hours, friendly and courteous staff, and great gynecologist. The front staff helped me a great deal with issues of insurance, and didn’t get frustrated with my tedious requests, but I wanted to be sure I would be covered. I had a ton of questions the gynecologist walked me though, and was very helpful.

The ladies here are so personable and friendly. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. They make you feel comfortable and take care of all your health needs. I used to go to a few of the other locations but this is by far the best I’ve been to. Its clean and very well maintained.

All I can say is WOW. THIS clinic is amazing. It’s clean everyone who works here is personable and makes you feel comfortable. I’m from California and this is the best clinic by far. I’m so grateful for the staff and empathy and genuine concern for their patients. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. This makes me honored to see that nonprofits can be so efficient and effective.

Mary Beth was awesome! I have been coming here for years and I have never had a bad experience. I waited a long time in the waiting room (over an hour) but once I got in the back, I was finished in a half hour. I’ve read other reviews about it being in a «terrible area» but it really isn’t as bad as you think. Will definitely come back!

So I was scared to come here after reading that it is in a really bad part of town. But the people seemed nice enough. The staff was friendly and the doc was very nice and caring! Plus they help you out if you have no insurance!

It’s great that they have after 5pm hours and weekend hours with more availability than other Planned Parenthoods closer to city center, but dnt be lured here by these enticements. The employees here lack empathy, are indifferent to patient needs, and are disorganized. I came here for a Depo shot, was on time for my 10am appointment and requested Respectfully that I be seen as soon as possible because I had to pick up my daughter. I guess this request pissed them off because An hour and 21 minutes later, still waiting for my shot. The shot can be administered in under five minutes. Anxious to get back to my daughter, afraid my babysitter will be mad at me, never coming here again. Sensitive to women’s circumstances my behind. Lesson here: make your doctor’s/nurses appointments a month in advance with a classy place to avoid the service/​experience you will encounter here.

They are awesome!
They are the most friendly group of
be compared them to vs. the board of health, pp gets a damn A++++
Been going for years and will continue.

I just have to say that I came here a few years ago out of desperation. I don’t have insurance and I needed birth control. I have a regular obgyn, but I couldn’t afford her at that time, or birth control. This was the worst experience in my life. This is the only location with a sliding pay scale. For anyone who is coming here for the first time, this is the WORST area of the city. I took a cab because I went to the wrong location since no one told me I had to go here for my appointment on the phone. The cab driver was really apprehensive to drive me here, then felt so bad he waited the whole time outside for me so I wouldn’t be outside in this area.
You have to press a buzzer outside the door and talk to an recorder to let you in and show ID. Everything is bulletproof. Once inside, I had many girls snickering about my clothes, and making racist comments to me the entire time I waited for my appointment. It was awful. The doctor was super brisk with me and clearly just wanted me out of there as fast as she could. She was rolling her eyes and I wasn’te even saying anything. This was THE absolute worst experience. Nothing against PP, but god this level of care is awful for those who can’t pay.
