Abortion Information
Physicians specialized in obstetrics and gynecology perform abortions up to the eighteenth week, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period, employing the latest vacuum aspiration method. Local (awake) or general anesthesia (asleep) is utilized according to patient choice.

Because we specialize in abortion, we can provide the best in professional care to our patients. Arrangements for abortions up to the 24th week of pregnancy may be made for women upon request.

All patients scheduled for an abortion with general anesthesia must not eat or drink for seven hours prior to their appointment. For local anesthesia, do no eat or drink for four hours prior to your appointment. It is advised that each patient is accompanied by one relative or friend.

We are primarily concerned with your well-being and will not compromise to save time; therefore, expect to be at the Center for at least two hours. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes, the remainder of the time will be spent taking a medical history, routine lab work, counseling on abortion and contraception, and encouraging you to rest comfortably before departure.
