- Wear a comfortable, two-piece outfit.
- If you choose to use IV sedation you must have a driver with you.
- Make sure you have a government issued ID with you. Florida has a Minor Parental Consent law so we need proof of age. If you don’t have an ID, please call the office so we can discuss other options for ID.
- For privacy reasons, we do not allow cell phones in our office.
- If you plan to use IV sedation, do not eat two hours before your appointment
We understand that your time is important and we will do everything we can to get you home safely and quickly. Generally, your surgical appointment will last about 2-4 hours. An RU-486 appointment will last about 1-2 hours.
On your appointment day you will fill out paperwork, have some lab work done, have an ultrasound and then meet with the Physician. The Physician will inform you about the procedure and discuss the risks, anesthesia options, aftercare, and birth control. She will also address any and all questions or concerns that you may have.
If you are using the RU-486 you will take the Mifepristone medication, receive a take home bag with your second medication, prescriptions, check up appointment reminder card with pregnancy test, and aftercare information and then you are ready to go.
If you are having a surgical procedure you will see the Physician again and have the procedure. Once the procedure is completed you will be escorted into the recovery room where we will give you something to drink and a snack if you are hungry. Before you leave we will go over your aftercare instructions again and make sure you have all of your take home information and medications.
