A Preferred Women's Health Center of Raleigh

"This place is filthy garbage. The women working here are unprofessional, it’s dirty and run down. There is NO concern, consideration or care for the girls attending at all. They hoard women in for appointments and then have them wait HOURS, only to be moved to ANOTHER waiting room for another hour or two. There is no communication about what is happening or when it will happen. For the girls getting these procedures, it is an emotional and difficult experience, made more traumatizing by this poorly-run office. It’s just trashy and rundown… I will be contacting the board of health."

"I have been to this clinic more than once. It's so crazy because I've always been against abortions all my life. I grew up in a home where that was against the rules. When I was eighteen I got pregnant with my second child. It was the worst pregnancy ever I was having seizures and everything. I proceeded to have my child but got pregnant again immediately after she was born. I was very fertile. It wasn't about me being able to manage financially but my body was not ready to go through another pregnancy. I came and I did the surgical procedure. Protesters outside made me very uncomfortable. But the atmosphere on the inside was completely opposite. The waiting area is comfortable and they don't look at you like you're doing something wrong. I felt very comfortable getting this procedure done. I've also taken the pill and that was even better. They explained what to do and what to expect. It was a great experience"

"worst abortion clinic EVER, i would give 0 stars if i could very unprofessional. lady upfront was cursing someone out when i got there not to mention it took 4 HOURS for them to take me in. my second appointment there was 8 females in ONE room for counseling, no privacy whatsoever. definitely do not recommend this place."

"This clinic gave me a SAFE place to make a INFORMED choice without any bias or judgement. Everyone was kind and professional and because of that and because of how these places are in danger of disappearing I automatically gave them 5 stars. The overall visit went better then expected, the best part was actually seeing the ultrasound technician, I can't remember her name but it was on May 23rd and she was amazing for two reasons. 1) I was very early on less then 6weeks so to actually be able to see the pregnancy she couldn't do it the normal on the belly she had to use the wand, tmi but that can be extremely uncomfortable and you're in a vulnerable situation on top of another vulnerable situation and I've had plenty of negative paps/ similar situations to really appreciate how "comfortable" she made that situation for me 2) The whole clinic was a safe place without judgement but during the ultrasound was even more so. The ultrasound technician was very professional and she explained everything she was going to do but she was also extremely nice and we actually had a really nice conversations about our kids and books and movies and the fact that we could have that conversation during the type of visit I was having was what made everything easier. And I say that because when I found out I was pregnant with my son the woman "taking care" of me gave me a completely different experience (This was at a regular Health Department years ago and a completely different location) but for some reason that person actually made me feel bad for wanting to have him because of her own beliefs and made me feel like I was doing wrong by him for choosing to keep him and I include that because I have had quite a few very negative experiences and they can be mentally damaging but under NO circumstance should you stay at any place that is supposed to be providing health care that makes you feel bad. The only actual issue I had with my appointment was from the initial phone call to set the appointment. That is because the people who set your appointments are not actually at the clinic. The person I originally talked to said for my appointment (just getting the pill version) should only take 1-2 hours and I was there closer to 4hrs. That normally wouldn't be too horrible except you're not allowed to have your phone. They do play movies but there's also no clocks in any of the waiting rooms. Oh and in the lobby upfront they do have a vending machine for snacks but not one for drinks but they can get you a little cup for water."

"Some feedback that I’d give to this center is if a person has a certain appointment time, then they be seen at the time or least close to that time. For anyone going I’d say go in a little earlier than your appointment just for a better chance at getting into the Patient room. Overall, you will wait some hours just like any other clinic but the staff is friendly, the doctor makes sure your comfortable before taking the pill medication; and once you have completed everything; your good to go, I prefer this clinic if anyone wants to go forward with abortion."
