Planned Parenthood

I used this facility twice in my late teens, early 20’s. After losing a premature son, my husband and I were trying to conceive again. I was late for my period, went in to have a beta subunit blood test. They refused too do it unless I signed a document that I would terminate the pregnancy if the test was positive. I was married and had lost a 2 lb 10 oz son. I did not want to terminate. I wound up walking out at the young woman wouldn’t budge. At age 24 I had the right to want to be pregnant by my husband. I wasn’t and it took 10 years to happen due to a botched surgery but WANTING a baby should be part of «Planned Parenthood» too!

This was my first visit at this location, First, I took a HIV test and then had to wait for two hours in the waiting room when I was finally seen by the nurse she couldn’t even remember that she gave me back my insurance card. I sat in the room for at least 30 minutes freezing before doctor Yelena Kantarzhi came in, she grabbed my breast with her freezing hands and when I told her she just ignored me and did not even care. I was trying to decide if I wanted to stay on the Nuvaring ring or switch to pills with less hormones and she just kept rushing to make my decision. I had questions and she just said you have to decide whatever you want and left the room with the door open as I am sitting there naked. I asked her for a prescription when I got to the front they didn’t even know about my prescription. At the front desk I never got my test results back from the HIV test. I was so disturbed by this visit I ended up leaving my purse in the room. The nurse called me to come back and pick it up and when I went to pick it up she told me I should just go back to Elizabeth location and that is exactly what I am going to do. I will never go back to this location and I don’t recommend it to anybody who wants to get customer service and some care.

Not sure what people are talking about how dirty it was, but it looked cleaned to me and the staff was nothing but courteous and helpful. The patient care and confidentiality was there when I visited. Highly recommend this place.

Horrible place. Very insensitive workers. They pay a service to schedule appts but knows absolutely nothing about the company all o kept getting was in not sure you’ll have to find out when you get there. So I drive all the way over here yet still cannot be seen all because they couldn’t verify insurance info in which I’m not sure how a card can tell you what services are approved! Wouldn’t you need to call the customer service to find that out! They ALL think that everyone is stupid that comes in there. Their «logic» makes no sense what so ever! They just don’t want to be bothered, the more people they turn away the less they’ll have to do. Before me they turned away another girl and I’m sure they’ll be turning away many more as the day progress. That’s why they over book and have people wait crazy hours for sucky service. Like really, really I can’t believe these people! This place SUCKS!

The place was unclean and the employees are rude. And we had to wait over an hour.

I made a Unilocal just to write this review, so here it goes.
This was my first time at a plan parenthood and I was feeling insanely vulnerable and scared, they left me to wait in their pink moldy waiting room for an hour and a half until they brought me to their second waiting room. Once I finally got to a doctor she was extremely insensitive and made me feel as if I was disgusting. Poking and prodding at me and not giving me any sort of explanation, she was also insanely difficult to understand.
Once my examination was finally over I met with the final doctor, I was close to tears and she had no sympathy and just kept telling me that I should have been more careful. I walked out of that building feeling ashamed and scared, no women should ever have to feel like that when they are trying to get help. I will never go back or to another plan parenthood for that matter.

doesn’t matter which location, or which city, you get great care from people who are there to help you through whatever you are dealing with. I know a lot of the folks who work at the PP health centers and they could make more money at a hospital, but they don’t. They don’t because they care about the mission of PP and how important it is to all people, young and old.
…and you anti-​choice freaks: when you get some poor woman pregnant, they’ll even take you and she in and help you maintain solid, sustainable, healthy practices through their pre-​natal care services, all on a sliding scale cost basis.
Thank you PP for all you do for anyone who walks through your doors. I don’t know what we would do without PP, and I’m glad you are there for all of us.
