Planned Parenthood - Schenectady Center - Schenectady (NY)

5 /5 Sara Maxwell: It’s only been one day since my procedure but so far so good. Pain and bleeding are minimal. Everything went well and I am so grateful for the staff at planned parenthood schenectady. From the receptionist at the front desk, to the doctor, everyone was so respectful, non judgmental and welcoming. The RN who explained everything and took my medical history was very reassuring, as were the nurses in the waiting area where women are waiting for their procedures or recovering. The RN who works with the anesthesiologist is also excellent, the nurse assisting the doctor as well etc. I mean they all work so well together as a team. And as awful and heartbreaking as it is to be in the situation of needing a procedure like this, this team really makes the experience as comfortable as possible. I was so worried and anxious in the days leading up to my appointment, I’m just so appreciative that everyone was so kind to me and they all seem to really care about their patients. And as promised, I made it home safely to my family so for that I am forever grateful. Thank you.

5 /5 Jadin Manipole: I had the most incredible experience yesterday at Planned Parenthood. I am a very open person so I dont mind sharing this info, but I had a non-hormonal IUD placement procedure and I am so happy I went here. When I arrived, the receptionist was kind and provided me a lot of information in regards to insurance (which I am fortunate to have), cost of services, etc. Dr. Hinman and her nurse, whose name I am forgetting, were some of the best help I have ever received in all 24 years of my life. I was so anxious and the nurse was right by my side and he answered any and all questions, while reassuring me that all will be okay and that the team is experienced and will put my needs first. Dr. Hinman did the same. So many doctors need to take a lesson from her book when it comes to being compassionate. She confirmed with me that this is the birth control route I wanted to pursue, and was open to having other conversations if I wanted to explore more options. When the procedure was happening, which was stressful because of my genetic makeup, Dr. Hinman and the nurse did all in their power to keep me comfortable and to reassure me that I was doing great and strong. They were very communicative throughout the process and coached me through breathing exercises. In addition, they are FAST thinkers and when the placement was not going as it usually does (again because of my genetic makeup, not because of their skills), they were able to have it inserted by bringing out an ultrasound to ensure it was properly placed. That made me feel so much better because they were not just hoping for the best but actually being cautious that the placement was correct and no future problems would arise from misplacement. Overall, I cannot recommend Planned Parenthood of Schenectady enough. I am so fortunate to of had an amazing experience on all fronts and wanted to come on here to encourage people to utilize them as a resource. I have been to other Planned Parenthoods in the Hudson Valley and Schenectadys care blew the others out of the park. Thank you so much to Dr. Hinman and the nurse who stood by my side and cared for me. I feel fantastic today and so proud of myself for putting my reproductive health first. Couldnt of done it without you two.

5 /5 Miranda Gardner: Literally seen all of the negative comments and it made me uneasy at first but as soon as I walk in it’s a very positive and caring atmosphere I promise, they make you feel listen and heard I just went there today and I was super nervous they obviously could tell but told me there’s little to worry about and everything went amazing I absolutely reccomend this place and location!!
