Planned Parenthood - York

my daughter recently came here as of 7/5/24, she told me they were treating her nicely and complimented her on her nails Its my daughters first time being pregnant. Shes 18. as soon as it was time for the surgical abortion procedure , I was immediately let down and disappointed, I am mute but can hear very well. The first part of the procedure my daughter did great , she was fine with the lidocaine shot on her cervix and even made jokes about how the ringing sounded like aliens speaking. She was semi fine with the speculum insertion aswell. she asked the doctor how long the procedure would take , The doctor lied to her and told her it would take two minutes. The vacuuming took 4 minutes approx. My daughter was screaming and kicking and even apologizing over and over again for moving. She would ask for breaks even asked for the doctor to give her something to bite down on. The doctor told her she would not start again unless my daughter said so, at times the doctor would start without telling my daughter and my daughter was in so much pain she was screaming begging for them to tie her down so she doesn’t move. She screamed and yelled and told them it felt like she was being gutted alive & She begged for the doctor to stop the procedure so she could go to a different location to be sedated (this was before they perforated her water.) they deemed her unsafe and ended up stopping the procedure after the fact that the doctor had already perforated her water & couldn’t proceed anymore. the doctor walked out the room along with the 2 other nurses. My daughter lost a lot of blood, was lightheaded and almost fell while trying to put her pants on. They sent her over to the wellspan hospital in york, didn’t give her paperwork. Had her sign a consent form and rushed her out the building through the back. Shes at the hospital now , told her experience to the doctor and nurses, and now the nurses are trying to call the clinic to get paperwork for a summary of her visit there. And guess what!!! The planned parenthood clinic is closed now.nnI do not recommend surgical abortion if you are 18 or under, height 5’0-5’4 or lb 98-115 , You will not be able to sit through that without being sedated.nnMost horrible experience i’ve had yet. I had to listen to my daughters blood curdling screams and cries. It sounded like she was getting murdered and I felt extremely sorry and bad that my daughter had to go through that horrible experience.nnShame on you planned parenthood ! I’m ashamed of myself that i put my trust in this clinic to take care of my daughter.

One thing I really respect when it comes to a doctors office is patience and dedication. I saw both these aspects in the office. The lady at the front desk was helpful and really made sure that I could get care even though there was a insurance mess up in the beginning. Online it said my insurance was not accepted by Planned Parenthood but then she called them and ran through some papers to double check, and actually turns out that I was covered by my insurance.nnWhen I was taken back by the doctor, she explained everything that she was doing and made sure that I was okay many times, and I respect that highly.nShe was very kind and did a good job at explaining my procedure.nI saw empathy, patience, and overall professionalism between the three workers I spoke to. I highly value these traits and I’m glad that the PP in York executed them..
