Appointment Day: What to Expect

We are proud to provide the shortest appointment days in the area, typically 5 hours or less.

Have your ID out and ready to show the security guard to enter the clinic door
You enter and complete a COVID-19 symptom screening and temperature check. If you do not pass the temperature check, you will need to reschedule your appointment.
Once in the lobby you fill out your paperwork and medical chart.
The technician completes an ultrasound to determine gestational age.
You complete any required vitals or lab work.
You meet privately with a counselor to confirm you consent to the procedure and that you understand the facts of the procedure.
For a Medical Abortion, you meet with the doctor to take the first pill. You receive a second round of medication to take at home the following day. The abortion process is completed at home.
For a Surgical Abortion, the doctor performs the procedure and fully terminates the pregnancy in the clinic. You begin to experience relief from the symptoms of pregnancy shortly after the procedure.
Finally, you move to our recovery room, sip some of Scotsdale’s famous hot tea, and receive aftercare instructions.
