I don't have health insurance, and for a lot of people like myself (men, women and their children) who also cannot afford healthcare; Planned Parenthood is the perfect place. Obviously, for Emergencies go to an Urgent Care or the Emergency Room at any hospital. It disappoints me that people don't know Planned Parenthood is a doctors office. They're great for yearly checkups, children vaccines, cancer screenings, and so much more. If you are reading this; be sure to educate yourself and all the people around you who think PP, is ONLY a clinic for when you had an accident. Sex Education isn't always taught at home or in schools. PP has patenting classes, an endless supply of legal help and suggestions. If you are alone, feeling sick, don't have Health Insurance, get yourself down to a Planned Parenthood Office near you, these doctors, Licensed practitioners specialize in EVERYTHING. When it comes to cost, no it is not free, BUT they do work with you on a sliding scale. Sure, you can go to one of those big hospitals, wait in a filthy Emergency Room for hours, then have the bill sent to your house, and NEVER pay it. That's the sort of thing that's causing our country problems.BE APART OF THE SOLUTION, not part of the PROBLEM. read more

I am pro choice and had to make a difficult decision because I was so sick during pregnancy so I came to Planned Parenthood thinking that they would be able to help I opted to have the surgical aspiration thinking that that would be the quickest and easiest decision even though it was invasive it was incredibly painful but very quick the nurses were nice and kind but I ended up getting a horrible infection three days after the procedure I had to get antibiotics and I was warned that I could become septic and die. I already had to deal with the pain mentally and physically from the aspiration abortion but now I had to deal with my own life being at risk. After countless trips to the hospital in the emergency room I was told to not go back to Planned Parenthood because still after two weeks I still had so much blood and tissue in my uterus because the aspiration procedure was also not done correctly and was not completed leaving me still with tons of tissue and blood inside of my uterus. Please if you need to make a decision maybe opt for the medication and do not trust all medical professionals. I am here two weeks later still sicker than ever my life on hold my job on hold and mentally and physically still not able to get over this if I could go back in time I would 1 million times over. I'm thinking about everybody that needs to make this decision and praying that they're able to make the right choice for their body and go with the least invasive and make sure to follow up and if something doesn't feel right go to the doctor call and call again or go to the emergency room and fight for your self and advocate for yourself read more

Clean building, very friendly staff, convenient placement (my apartment is less than ten minutes away so I can pop in after work) with lots of info you'd never find at a private clinic. First appointment they asked me if I feared my personal safety due to my partner. I was pleasantly shocked they ask that because I think more women need a safe place they can go for help. When I told the doctor I wasn't planning on ever having kids, she was supportive. My private doctor I went to before moving here actually tried to talk me into having kids before I was even 22. What I hate is I have to drive past protesters who hang photos of dead babies to try and scare people. They are disgusting and honestly sad. It angers me I have to use two buzzers, walk past bulletproof glass, and fear for my safety just because I want birth control. The people who work here are saviors and the patients shouldn't be demonized for being women read more

This location just opened up within the past year. Most of the press surrounding Planned Parenthood is focused on abortions, but what I think most people don't realize that it's actually an Ob/Gyn and sexual health clinic for both men and women. Planned Parenthood seeks to provided these health services to everyone regardless of whether you do or do not have health insurance. For this reason, many people come in for care whether it's for STI check, annual exam, reproductive treatment or procedures. It always amazes me that protestors continue to stand outside the building and make it even harder for people to come in. It's already very difficult for the patients to come in let alone being hassled by people who don't know what they are talking about. The staff here are really nice and quite accommodating of unusually circumstances. They are open minded and friendly. You do have to make an appointment here in advance. Remember, this is a clinic for both women AND men so you will not get turned away if you are a guy coming in for an STI screen/treatment. read more

See all

Staff was comforting and professional. I needed assistance with my birth control and they sat me down and discussed the details with me. Very inclusive with pronouns and made everyone feel accepted. You might encounter ignorant protesters outside the building which is not PP's fault. Just ignore and you do you boo!!! read more

I am 100% for Planned Parenthood and their core beliefs and will support it forever; however, this particular Planned Parenthood was disappointing to me. I had been here before about a year ago and I didn't have a problem, so when I made another appointment I was hoping it would go as smooth as it did last time. I made my appointment about two weeks ahead of time and did all the paperwork online so I wouldn't have to do it the day of. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appointment, just how like it said so on the website, checked in, and then sat down to wait. Time passed and several patients went ahead of me and I just thought that they scheduled their appointments before mine. I waited over an HOUR! I finally got up to the front to ask them when the doctor would be able to see me and they said that they had marked me as a no show- as if that wasn't bad enough one of the ladies said that they called me to tell me my insurance was inactive, but I did not receive a phone call or voicemail. I still wanted to see the doctor today, but the lady told me that it was up to the doctor if they could fit me in or not and that the price would've been double the price I paid the first time (I would also like to note that I didn't use my insurance last time either)! I'm usually an understanding person, but I didn't even receive an apology before leaving. I'll be going to the PP in northern Virginia whenever I'm in the area rather than this one if I'm able to. read more

Terrible place. Not only I confirmed my appointment by calling them TWICE, but I get to the location and it looks like a jail cell. I had to be buzzed in. Once I entered suit A, the not-so-friendly staff member told me that I had to reschedule my appointment. Why? Because they scheduled me for something else than I wanted. I wanted a wellwoman exam, and they put it as a problem visit, and for that reason alone I couldn't see the doctor, because they couldn't figure out how much it was going to cost with my insurance. WTF? I even called them twice to tell them what I needed, and they, both times, agreed that my appointment is still good. I drove all the way from Norfolk to this location to be turned around. I will never, ever, go there again. read more

The security measures can be a little intimidating, albeit necessary. I was a little nervous as it was my first time visiting, but the staff was friendly and put my mind at ease. There's nothing more than the normal amount of paperwork, and the staff helped answer all of my questions. The only reason I'm not rating 5 stars: the staff provided me my medical information over the phone without first asking for the password I declared during my initial visit. The whole point of the password was to allegedly prevent unauthorized persons from accessing my confidential medical information. Since I'd imagine confidentiality is very important to most patients at PP, this was a little concerning. read more

The wait wasn't too bad but the nurse who helped take my blood pressure and urine was very pushy and came off irritated and rude. Made me feel stupid when I asked questions and told her I was thinking about taking my IUD out. I've had previous bad experiences with Planned Parenthood before so this wasn't the worst. read more

This place far exceeded my expectations. It's clean and the staff is very friendly. Yes, you have to get buzzed in; that's to keep the wackos out (picketers are there almost daily) and it actually made me feel safer. The scheduling people aren't always on top of things and they don't call to confirm like they say they will or give you much info prior to your procedure. However, the people who were tasked with performing my procedures/exams were amazing. They talk you through it and keep you calm. When I needed explanation of some results, the doctor who worked with me called me and took 15 minutes to answer every question I had. I can't say that I look forward to my visits there, but at least I know I'm being taken care of by knowledgeable, supportive doctors and nurses. read more

The buzzer outside might not work at first, but stand outside for a few minutes and someone will be sure to let ya in. Place is clean and the staff is nice. The procedure I had took less than 5 minutes, however I had to wait about 30 minutes in the room to be seen. Would have given 4 or 5 stars if the staff would keep their opinions to themselves. Getting off of your bc and going back to condoms? "We'll be seeing you soon!" read more

Nothing but good things to say. Thankfully I wasn't bombarded by protestors (it was too cold outside for that), but the staff here is so great. I ran into a big issue with my prescription, but they did nothing but try their best to help me and pulled through. Staff was caring and friendly and helped me out SO MUCH when I really had no other options. read more

I came here for an IUD insertion! I had such a wonderful experience here! Previously I went to an expensive OBGYN. I waited 2-3 months for my iud insertion appointment. The doctor there were not able to insert my IUD correctly for some reason? After 7-10 minutes of poking around causing serious cramps and used up two Kylina IUD's the doctor told me there was something wrong with my uterus? I got an ultra sound everything is fine. I tried to reschedule and then they told me the day of the appointment i wasn't a candidate for the IUD. So I called planned parenthood! I only had to wait one week exactly for my appointment! The staff here are extremely nice! The strawberry blond lady that inserted my IUD had me explain to her the procedure to see what I knew about the IUD. I really liked that she asked me what I knew instead of rambling about the IUD. The whole thing was so fast!! Just 3 really big cramps and done!! The best part was that it was all FREE!! Because I am 18 I fall under some grant. I was about to pay 2500 for the same IUD at the other doctor office. read more

I was impressed with the staff and the Dr that took care of me. However the protesters outside are annoying as hell.

I went here because they were the only doctor's I could find in the area that were willing to sterilize me. I am 31 and have no children so I was surprised that they were willing to do it at all. I went for my initial consult back in May and yes we had to wait quite a while to be seen, but that is to be expected with this kind of facility. The staff were extremely friendly and able to answer many of the questions my SO and myself had about the procedure. Between the time of the consult and the time of the procedure itself I was kept up to speed by the super friendly office staff. They were always happy to help me and answer any questions that came to mind. The day of my procedure (this past Friday actually) we went and were buzzed in, I filled out some paperwork and was taken back to begin preliminary stuff almost immediately. I can't stress enough how friendly, professional and knowledgeable the staff and doctor was. If I have any kind of female issues in the future I will go here first. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. Waste of my time. What is the point in requiring appointments when they mean nothing. I wasn't seen until 2 hours after my scheduled appointment. I shouldn't have to pay to have a 2 hour late appointment, small talk, and prescription written. HOPE exams are a joke. Why even see the patient? Have them fill the paper, write them a prescription and stop wasting peoples time. read more

Usually happy but I was not told that a hope exam was just the nurse looking at my chart and asking the same questions that I just filled out on the paper work!!! I was told I couldn't get my next depo shot without having this exam but I can't really call it an exam....I paid an extra $55 to have her repeat the paper questionnaire.....I think that is part of a scam and I'm very unhappy for the waste of my money....if I'm going to be paying a lot I expect something to be done besides being asked repeat questions!!!! read more
