What to Expect During Your Appointment

1

Check In

Use the check-in link sent to you via text to fill out your patient paperwork and consents PRIOR to the day of your appointment. Paperwork MUST be filled out at least 1 day before the appointment for our office to be able to process the paperwork.

Upon arrival to the clinic, check in via the Healow app or by text to indicate you have arrived. Then help yourself to coffee, tea, or water and a light snack while you wait in our cozy waiting room.

2

Consultation

Appointments happen with your clothes on in the comfort of the consultation room, in comfy chairs with a beverage of your choice.  Revolutionary, right? New patient appointments last 60-90 minutes where we will review your history, discuss your current concerns, and then review your plan of care options. Return patient appointments last 30-60 minutes and consist of an update of information as necessary, review of plan of care and symptoms, and revision of plan of care as necessary.

3

Review Options

We’ll take the time to go over all your options, review the most up-to-date evidence and pros and cons and work together through shared decision-making to find the best fit for you. This includes considering your personal needs, preferences, and any physical, emotional, or financial factors that are important to you.

4

Vitals & Exam

During all visits, a brief physical exam, including vital signs and an assessment of your concerns, is conducted in the consultation room. If a breast exam, pelvic exam, Pap smear, or procedure is necessary, we provide trauma-informed care in a separate, private exam room. You’ll be offered warm or room-temperature cloth gowns, robes, sheets, and blankets for added comfort on a cushioned exam table.

We use Nella KIND reusable speculums exclusively, designed for your comfort. They are temperature-neutral (no more cold metal speculums!), small as a tampon (no more pinching or pain), and completely quiet (no clicking sounds from disposable plastic speculums). Footrests or stirrups are available when needed, but many exams can be performed without them. Your safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities, and we strive to make every examination a calm, comfortable, and pain-free experience.

FAQs

Have questions about Family Planning?
Tap to expand items
What are the different types of birth control methods available?

We offer a variety of birth control options, including oral contraceptive pills, contraceptive injections, vaginal rings, contraceptive patches, IUDs, implants, and natural family planning methods. Our providers will work with you to determine the method that best suits your lifestyle and health needs.

What is natural family planning, and how does it work?

Natural family planning involves tracking your menstrual cycle to determine your most fertile days and using this information to prevent or achieve pregnancy. We provide education and tools to help you understand your body’s natural signals and effectively use this method.

How long does it take to become pregnant after stopping birth control?

It varies depending on the type of birth control you were using. For example, fertility can return immediately after stopping pills, patches, or rings, while it might take 6-12 months after discontinuing injections. Our providers can guide you through this process and provide preconception counseling to optimize your chances of conceiving.

Are there side effects associated with different birth control methods?

Each method has potential side effects, which can vary from person to person. For example, hormonal methods may cause nausea, spotting, or mood changes, while non-hormonal methods like the Copper IUD may lead to heavier periods and/or more painful cramping. Our team will discuss the pros, cons, and possible side effects of each option to help you make an informed decision.

Can I switch birth control methods if I’m not satisfied with my current one?

Absolutely. If your current method is not working well for you – whether due to side effects, lifestyle changes, or other factors – we can help you transition to a different option that better meets your needs.
