Don't go there. Read the other comments too. I'm usually not one to leave bad reviews but I will for this clinic. I went for a basic PAP test for work and the doctor was a male which they did not tell me... okay fine. His vibe was weird, he asked me if I'm taking birth control and I said no. He looked at me in disbelief and judgement like I was lying. When he inserted his finger in me for the test he was rough and stayed longer than most PAP smears I have gotten. His energy made me feel uncomfortable af. I couldn't wait til he was done. An experience I wouldn't want any girl to go through. They don't have an email and their voicemail box is always full. So to request my additional records I had to go in person. Fast forward to 2 months later after submitting that paperwork, it wasn't what I fully requested. The whole condition of the place feels uncomfortable and sketchy as if they're hiding something. Go to a normal & reputable clinic. read more

Went today for a medical procedure and the staff was absolutely AMAZING. The doctor kept me informed as he moved about my lady parts. The place is a bit intimidating but the staff made it so much easier. So friendly and just genuinely concerned for you and your health. I was a bit uncomfortable during the procedure and the nurse rubbed my knee, just helping me feel so much more comfortable. I'd definitely recommend. Remember, most people only take time to leave bad reviews so don't be deterred by them. read more

(PARAMAS LOCATION) DO NOT USE THIS CLINIC! I wouldn't even give this clinic one star but I have no choice in order to write my review. I went into American Women's for a simple first trimester abortion and if I had known what was going to happen to me I'd of never allowed them to preform the abortion. Unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control at that time, I had no choice but to stay and have the abortion preformed there even though once I was inside and walked around I knew this place was no good. It was dirty, waiting room chairs stained, dusty, toilet falling through the bathroom floor just to name a few nasty issues with this clinic. They had no hospital beds for recovery or pre operation waiting. Pre and post operative room was the same room and extremely small. They made you sit in nasty stained recliners that they put down medical drapes for "your protection" Normal protocol calls for an IV when being sedated. I was never given one. They had no anesthesologist. The abortionist gave me two pills and a nasty tasting liquid in a separate room. The abortionist was also the clinician. It was very uncomfortable. later on after I had the abortion I found out by my own gynecologist that liquid given to me was Ketamine, an animal sedative. They then made me wait in the recliner till I was almost passed out. Two nurses then assisted me and put me on the table in a dingy operation room no bigger then a closet. Containing only an examination table without stirrups and suction device, i wasn't even given a blanket to cover me up. I then blacked out, only to wake up in extreme pain during the procedure. Which resulted in the abortionist yelling at me and holding me down, while still using the suction, yelling for a nurse. I passed out again before the nurse arrived only to wake up again for a brief few minutes when they moved me back to the recliner. Without any protection (i.e. maxi pad or underwear on) i was left to bled out onto the large plastic sheet on the recliner. I was overdosed on the medications they had given me. I was in recovery for two hours and wouldn't wake up. Finally they made me leave because they were closing for the day. I was barely able to walk to my mothers car where I blacked out again. I never regained full conciousness till the next morning. Flash forward to a week later. I wasn't due to see my own gynecologist for a post abortive appointment for another two weeks but I was so bloated I looked nine months pregnant, I also had bad discharge and bleeding more then I should've still been bleeding and fever. My doctor examined me and diagnosed me with a massive uterine infection and possible uterine scarring due to an improperly preformed abortion. He wanted me to go into the hospital for major IV antibiotics and more testing but again because of circumstances out of my hands, I couldn't. My gynecologist made me tell him the whole procedure I went threw and informed me I had a botched abortion. That he was made to inform the state of the situation and conditions of the abortion clinic. I was sent home on major antibiotics and bed rest. Almost ten years later and I still have gynecological problems. Including miscarrying. Which I've been told by multiple doctors I most likely have scar tissue in my uterus due to the botched abortion. PLEASE do your research before using one of these clinics and PLEASE dont do what i did and stay even if something doesn't feel right. You have so many options. I dont want to see another women hurt like me. It's been almost ten years since the abortion and I still have major issues physically and mentally from that day. I cant imagine what this clinics like now. I pray it's been taken over for the better. read more

This place is the worst. I went for an abortion and I was very scared. They did not tell me over the phone that they don't sedate you or numb you for the procedure, which to me is completely wrong. The only thing they seemed to care about was the payment. They did not let my friend in the office because as soon as you walk in you hear the screams of women in pain because of the procedure. I went into the office and I told them that I was extremely scared and I was crying and freaking out. They did not care, having an abortion is such a delicate situation and you would think the nurses would be more helpful. They were very rough with me and kind of ignored me. First I went into the bathroom to pee in a cup, which btw they made me write my own name on it and made sure to write on the bathroom door to write our names neat which I could not because at that point I was having an anxiety attack and shaking. Then they took me to another small room where they tested my urine and pricked my finger, the nurse quickly dragged me to another room which did not look like a room fit for surgery and told me to pull my pants down and did a 1 min ultrasound, threw paper towel at me and told me to clean myself up. 3 mins after, the surgeon came in. Didn't even say hi or how am I feeling which btw I was still crying and freaking out. He tells me to strip down and lay on the table then aggressively yanks me to the end of the table. The nurse in the room btw was not helpful. She wouldn't even hold my hand and provided me with no comfort. Without warning he starts checking my cervix and then yells at me for twitching. 2 mins after he puts some huge instrument in me which hurt so bad and then continued with a small vacuum tool and stuck it in me. The pain.... indescribable, I yelled and cried and he continued. Eventually it was over he got up and just left the room. I laid there still in pain and about to vomit the nurse gave me no time to breath and quickly said that I need to get dressed to go into the other room. I asked her to give me a second because I am dizzy and I can't move. She threw my clothes at me and I was forced to get dressed. I could barley walk at the time and she pretended to try and help me but I was really limping and walking on my own. I went into a room with 7 chairs and she threw a cheap heating pad on me and gave me Tylenol and water. There were other women in there who had just received an abortion and some looked scarred and others crying in pain. In the end, they did not really answer my questions and they didn't even check if I was okay. they did not let anyone leave through the front door, they went to get the person that accompanied you and had them wait for you in the back to leave discreetly. I wish I had chosen another office. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I would never ever in a million years recommend this facility to any woman looking to have such a delicate (both physically and emotionally) procedure as an abortion. The staff is not empathetic nor welcoming but most importantly the procedure they use is uncomfortable and medically unprofessional in so many ways. They sedate you orally with what i believe is called "twilight" in a room with multiple recliners until it takes effect then you end up in another small room and have a botched abortion basically nothingooks sterile or right, they dont give you recovery time nor have a recovery room then when I was discharged i was completely out of it, my friend couldnt even help me walk to car because i was still so heavily sedated and worst of all crying hysterically becauase I was in pain. Please dont go to this place. Use Metropolitan Medical Associates in Englewood or a reputable place please save yourself the headache. read more

I went to American Women's Services in Elizabeth to get the medical abortion pills. This place is very outdated. I would recommend going to plan parenthood in Elizabeth instead. I couldn't bring my boyfriend along with me due to this whole corona situation, so he had to wait in the car. They first asked me questions and made me sign papers and pay. Then, they did an ultrasound, in which consisted of sticking an object into my vagina full of lube and then the nurse told me to get dress and wait back out in the waiting room. She didn't give me any paper to wipe of the excess lube and I felt very disgusting and uncomfortable down there. Not to mention, I asked the nurse if they give pictures of the ultrasound and she said no that I can ask for a copy when I return for my follow up appointment & she never said one thing to me during the process, not even how far along I am, so I just assume I am around 5 weeks. Then they called me back in to prick my finger and get my weight and I had to go back out to the waiting room. They finally called me to see the doctor & the doctor explained everything to me super quick gave me a shot that stops the pregnancy from continuing growth, gave me the abortion pills, and left. During the time I was with the doctor, I started breaking down because I was scared, nervous, and this was my first abortion. The nurses that were with him and the doctor himself never asked me if I was ok, didn't even attempt to comfort me, or offer me tissues for my tears, the doctor just asked me once if I was sure about my decision and continued. I didn't expect them to comfort me in anyway however, you could visibly see that I was nervous and I even told them. But, it didn't matter to them, I'm just another patient. The visit cost $395 and now I have to go back in about three weeks for a follow up that will be an additional $55. Overall, I went to do what I needed to handle however, I've been to plan parenthood in the past for birth control and check ups and the nurses over there are kind, sympathetic, and overall passionate about their job along with the doctors. I hope my experience helps someone out there & best of luck (: ! read more
