If you are considering an abortion, we can help you make a fully informed decision with abortion education provided by our licensed medical professional staff.

Informed consent means you have been educated about risks, benefits, the nature of treatment, alternate care, and you have had the opportunity to ask all of your questions and receive truthful answers.

Informed consent before you have an abortion begins with an ultrasound consultation.

Ultrasound Consultations

Our licensed medical staff will evaluate your medical history, and provided you meet the criteria for an ultrasound exam, an ultrasound exam will then be performed to determine how far along you are and the viability of your pregnancy. These are important factors to know whether you’re considering parenthood, adoption, or abortion. About one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, and some pregnancies – called ectopic pregnancies – occur outside of the uterus and require urgent medical attention. An ectopic pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition. If you have miscarried, then you don’t need an abortion. It is also important to know that the abortion pill will not end an ectopic pregnancy. The only way to determine any of these factors is with an ultrasound exam which will:

• Determine how far along in pregnancy you are (gestational age).
• Ensure you are not experiencing a potentially life-threatening ectopic pregnancy (Necessary to know before an abortion).
• Rule out a miscarriage, which can impact up to 20% of pregnancies.

Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Testing

It is important for your health to be tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This is especially true if you are pregnant and considering an abortion. Many people with STIs do not have symptoms. STIs can pose serious risks to your future reproductive health. Some may even be life-threatening if an abortion is performed with an active STI.

Abortion Education

Once we have confirmed that you have a viable pregnancy and have confirmed your dates, we can provide education regarding the different methods of abortion, which vary depending on how far along you are:

Pregnancy Testing

Get accurate, quick results that you can trust with our FDA-approved, lab-quality pregnancy tests.

At-home pregnancy tests may not be accurate, so schedule an appointment to verify your results.

It can be overwhelming – even scary – to think that you may be pregnant. If you think you’re pregnant or have taken a positive at-home pregnancy test, it’s best to check with a licensed medical professional to make sure. We provide lab-quality pregnancy tests that will give you a definite result, as well as evaluations and ultrasounds to determine how far along you are.
