Abortion Pill
The abortion pill provides a non-surgical option up to 6 weeks of pregnancy. This method allows patients to complete the process at home, prioritizing privacy and autonomy. Our team ensures proper screening and follow-up care for safety and effectiveness.
Surgical Abortion
First-trimester surgical abortions are performed using local anesthesia or sedation for comfort. The procedure involves cervical dilation and suction to remove pregnancy tissue, with a strong safety record and minimal complications when performed by experienced providers.
Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation
This minimally invasive procedure offers permanent birth control by sealing the fallopian tubes. Performed under sedation, it requires only a short recovery time and provides over 99% effectiveness in preventing future pregnancies.
Private Patient Services
Private services include dedicated recovery rooms and personalized attention for patients seeking enhanced privacy. Support persons may accompany patients during non-surgical times, ensuring emotional comfort throughout the experience.
Ultrasound Services
Ultrasound imaging determines gestational age and pregnancy viability. This diagnostic tool is essential for confirming eligibility for specific abortion methods and ensuring accurate medical planning.

Honestly the first day wasn't too bad. My only issue was I kinda felt judged by the counselor and I also waited almost an hour for the nurse practitioner. Besides that it was as okay. The second day put a sour taste in my mouth. I had an appointment at 8 am and the procedure didn't begin until after 2. During that time I was not made to feel comfortable at all. I was in so much pain and one of the nurses had the audacity to to tell me, MID CONTRACTION BY THE WAY, to breath and that if I didn't want to listen it didn't matter because she was helping me not herself.
I felt ignored and not made to feel comfortable at all. I would never recommend this office. The reason I gave 2 stars is because the front desk ladies were amazing and so sweet. Besides them the rest of the staff is horrible!

This was my 1st time receiving a abortion & I was really really nervous. Im 23 & already had one child, I couldn't really handle another. This doctors office made everything so calm & peaceful for me. I felt nothing. I was put to sleep & woke up with the procedure finished. I highly recommended Dr. Benjamin for all your needs in dealing with this. Thanks so much again! I apperciate y'all!

Had to the worst experience ever! I was there to get an already emotional procedure and the 2 of the nurses were rude! Also I understand the policy no eating or drinking but I hadn't eaten or drink anything since 2 am when I was told to be there at 7am and I didn't start to get seen till 10am. So yes I had sip of water! However, the nursers that did assisted amongst the Doctor were the a great experience. I'd never recommend this place maybe there sister location.

I got an elective laparoscopic tubal ligation here (female sterilization) in October 2021. I am 33 and child free! They weren't judgmental, didn't try to talk me out of it or tell me I would regret it or want kids someday. Didn't try to give me hoops to jump through. I made the choice, paid for the procedure, and they did the procedure. No run around. I'm so happy I found them! The staff was also wonderful. Everyone was very nice and thoroughly answered any questions I had during the pre-op visit and right before the procedure itself.

I visited this office 10 years ago. The only face I remember is Dr. Benjamin's but I remember feeling safe with an all female staff. The office is in a pretty discreet location. I have never seen pr0testers around the office. The nurses were extremely kind and caring. I woke up in a rush to leave and the nurse was extremely helpful even when I didn't think I needed help. Writing this review to send support to the Doctor and his staff. This is a tough field to be in and I so appreciate your commitment to supporting women and anyone with a uterus.
