Planned Parenthood

Terrible service. Nurse practitioner was rude and unhelpful. Don't bother calling to make an appointment- you'll still wait forever after you get beyond the waiting room. I'm only giving it a star because I have to.

I waited for over an hour to be denied the prescription I've had for over 10 years, the doctor didn't even get to the exam (pap smear). Basically, I filled out the required health forms and checked the box that says I have migraines. When the doctor finally came in to see me (after I'd been there for an hour and a half waiting in a paper gown) she asked me about this. I admitted to having migraines (as in- yes, I've had migraines before. I don't remember when the last one was, it's not a chronic condition) and was told that it's their policy not to prescribe Estrogen of any kind to people who get migraines. I asked directly if that was going to affect my getting the prescription I've had (that was prescribed by my own doctor) and she said yes, that's their policy. I walked out. I only went there because I was out of town due to a family emergency and I couldn't get to my doctor before my prescription ran out. Having been on the pill for several years I didn't want to mess up my current cycle. It's not surprising there are so many unplanned pregnancies when their policy is so that it denies patients birth control based on a highly generalized heath form before they even have an exam performed. That was my experience. Don't waste your time. If you have to resort to using Planned Parenthood- be aware of their policies, and don't mention having occasional headaches if you want your prescription filled
