Planned Parenthood - Southwest Health Center 5800 Bellaire Boulevard, Houston, TX 77081

"One or more of the following are true about this Planned Parenthood: - They are understaffed and unable to service the number of patients they have effectively - They are fully staffed but are extremely slow or ineffective workers - They are unorganized or have issues scheduling properly If you go here you will spend 1-3 hours waiting to be seen, beyond your appointment time."

"I've never left a review anywhere but I wanted to do so for this clinic, because they were truly amazing. I had to have surgical abortion after being freshly postpartum and having some risk of a potentially ectopic pregnancy. Before confirming whether they thought my pregnancy was safe or not they also let me know about resources to ease my worries if I did want to continue the pregnancy, like lactation consultants, etc. My procedure was done by Dr Shaalini Ramahndan. She was an angel! It went wonderfully. The staff was very informed, helpful, were able to properly medicate me for the procedure to have me safely breastfeed afterward. The anesthesiologist talked to me personally about my options. My doctor held my hand as I went under for the procedure which made me feel super safe. My doctor let me know what she found during the procedure personally, and had me come back for blood work the next day. I had such a positive experience here. I was terrified to have this done but it ended up being comfortable and much easier than I expected it to be."

"They need to teach staff how to draw blood properly. This is the second time I came for testing and they poked me several times to get blood. This is the second time the medical technician has to find someone else to draw my blood because they couldn't do it themselves. The second person that made the attempt to draw my blood had me put on a blood pressure cuff while drawing my blood. Never had to wear a blood pressure cuff to draw blood before. My entire arm hurt during this process and I continued to be in pain for the next three days. Again never had this experience before just to draw blood. Next time I'm going to providence - I've never had this issue with them and they are very fast! Damn. Also there is no point being on time or early for your appointment because they always make you wait 40 minutes after your scheduled appointment time before the nurse actually sees you. I near fell asleep waiting in the room. Its ridiculous. They don't seem very respectful of their patients time at this establishment. Noted."

"I was accidentally late to my appointment & was at a wrong location until I was sent here & they STILL took me in! :) Everyone here was very friendly, understanding, & made my experience comfortable while I was terrified for my first time. Jaimie (can’t spell his name) brought me in after checking in, he was extremely nice & made the experience somehow fun with his awesome energy. Tasha was very informative & helped me understand everything I needed to know, very happy she was my doctor. Would most definitely come back to this location again when needed!"

"Everything about my experience here was wonderful. I arrived early for my appointment knowing I wouldn’t be able to be seen early, and the guy at the front desk was very nice and helpful. He helped with my insurance and checking me in, and explained it would be a bit of a wait. I anticipated waiting longer but as soon as my appointment time arrived they called me back, to my surprise. The rest only took about 40 minutes. Jaime was awesome and super fun to talk to, made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Tasha was wonderful as well and made me feel comfortable and safe and provided excellent care. This was one of the best planned parenthood locations I have been to, the staff is excellent and the facilities are clean and nice, plenty of parking. Highly recommend this location."
