My
experience
with
TIA
Flatiron
has
been
life-changing.
Never
before
have
I
felt
every
part
of
me
cared
for,
in
every
way,
by
a
medical
team.
Their
whole
person/patient
focus,
awareness
and
attentiveness
to
a
patient’s
emotional
triggers/experience,
and
consent
practices
during
interactions
with
one’s
body,
are
unparalleled.
I
was
nervous
to
have
my
IUD
removal
and
insertion
of
a
new
IUD,
and
after
an
initial
positive
experience
with
my
Whole
Health
Visit,
I
decided
to
place
my
trust
in
TIA
Flatiron
for
the
IUD
process.
The
removal
was
rough,
and
my
body
reacted
by
spasming
so
much
so
that
the
measuring
(first
step
of
the
insertion
process)
alone
was
impossible.
We
worked
together
to
arrive
at
a
decision
to
schedule
a
second
appt
later
in
the
week
with
the
doctor
who
is
raved
about
as
an
IUD
specialist.
I
was
also
offered
a
suppository
to
use
the
night
before
that
would
help
soften
and
prepare
me
for
the
insertion
(something
that
is
no
longer
available
in
Texas;
we
in
NYC
are
very
fortunate).
One
of
the
revolutionary
things
about
TIA
Flatiron
is
their
offering
of
a
combination
appt
of
acupuncture
+
IUD
insertion,
to
support
the
body
through
an
otherwise
somewhat
traumatic
process.
The
day
of
insertion,
I
felt
held
and
cared
for
from
the
moment
I
stepped
into
the
facility.
The
acupuncture
session,
which
was
provided
in
the
clinical
room,
was
calming,
grounding,
and
centering.
After
resting
with
the
lights
off
for
a
very
nice,
long
while,
the
needles
were
eventually
removed,
and
it
was
time
for
the
doctor
to
see
me.
Dr.
Mo
had
me
laughing
right
away,
and
talked
me
through
each
step
of
the
process
as
he
worked.
He
and
his
assistant
got
into
a
nice
flow
so
that
the
whole
procedure
was
smooth,
and
swift.
All
the
while,
the
acupuncturist
held
my
hand
to
provide
pressure
to
a
major
pressure
point.
I
felt
so
held,
as
though
I
had
a
personal
IUD
insertion
doula!
The
fact
that
all
of
this
was
even
a
possibility
in
my
lifetime
made
me
well
up
with
emotion,
with
gratitude
at
the
forefront.
I’m
reliving
that
experience
now,
eyes
glistening
as
I
type.
When
the
process
was
finished,
I
was
gifted
an
aftercare
package
filled
with
everything
I
might
need
during
my
body’s
healing
and
adjustment
process-
and
more!
I
was
moved
by
the
care
and
attention
to
detail,
and
I
am
not
alone
there!
I
have
since
told
dear
friends
about
my
experience,
and
we
have
each
teared
up
with
emotion,
all
of
us
wishing
we
each
had
always
had
this
option
in
our
youth,
and
grateful
it
now
exists.
I
have
endless
gratitude
for
the
team
at
TIA
Flatiron.
I
cannot
thank
you
enough
for
this
life-changing,
immensely
positive,
medical
experience.
I
will
continue
to
sing
your
praises
to
everyone
who
will
listen.
Thank
you.
