I
recently
had
an
incredibly
positive
experience
at
Planned
Parenthood,
and
I
wanted
to
share
my
story
to
help
others
who
might
be
in
a
similar
situation.
For
years,
I
struggled
with
difficulty
in
seeking
care
to
remove
my
Nexplanon
implant.
I
constantly
ran
into
obstacles
that
tended
to
contradict
what
I
had
been
told
elsewhere
so
it
was
impossible
for
me
to
remove
this
device.
I
am
not
trying
to
sway
others
into
making
this
decision.
Nexplanon
works
well
for
others—just
not
for
me.
The
problem
wasn’t
the
device,
it
was
getting
the
device
removed.
Anyways,
the
Planned
Parenthood
team
changed
everything
for
me.
My
four-year
journey
to
find
a
clinic
that
would
remove
my
Nexplanon
implant,
covered
by
my
insurance,
was
frustrating
and
disheartening.
I
cannot
count
how
many
places
I
went
to…
That
all
changed
when
I
moved
almost
a
thousand
miles
and
discovered
Planned
Parenthood.
Not
only
were
they
able
to
accommodate
me
quickly,
but
they
also
went
above
and
beyond
to
make
me
feel
comfortable.
One
of
my
biggest
concerns
was
the
fear
of
fainting
during
the
procedure,
as
I
had
a
previous
unfortunate
experience.
Planned
Parenthood
understood
my
anxiety
and
allowed
me
to
wait
for
my
boyfriend
to
join
me
from
work
for
emotional
support.
This
simple
act
of
compassion
meant
the
world
to
me
and
alleviated
much
of
my
apprehension.
The
Planned
Parenthood
staff
thoroughly
explained
the
removal
process,
step
by
step,
which
helped
ease
my
nerves.
They
took
the
time
to
ensure
I
understood
what
was
happening
and
why.
This
level
of
communication
and
transparency
was
something
I
had
rarely
experienced
in
previous
healthcare
settings.
During
the
procedure,
they
not
only
successfully
distracted
me
but
also
made
the
incision
with
such
skill
and
precision
that
it
absolutely
blew
my
mind.
Furthermore,
when
it
came
to
discussing
birth
control
options,
the
doctors
and
staff
at
Planned
Parenthood
were
incredibly
understanding
and
respectful.
I
didn't
feel
pressured
into
making
a
choice,
and
for
once
in
my
life,
I
felt
like
my
voice
and
preferences
truly
mattered.
They
provided
comprehensive
information,
allowing
me
to
make
an
informed
decision
that
was
right
for
me.
After
the
procedure,
the
doctors
even
went
the
extra
mile
by
directing
me
to
a
delicious
bakery
nearby,
suggesting
I
"reward
myself."
I
found
this
gesture
not
only
adorable
but
also
incredibly
kind,
making
the
whole
experience
even
more
memorable.
I
cannot
recommend
Planned
Parenthood
enough.
Their
genuine
care,
compassion,
and
commitment
to
patient
comfort
are
truly
remarkable.
They
provided
a
safe
and
supportive
environment
during
a
time
when
I
needed
it
the
most.
If
you're
looking
for
a
healthcare
facility
that
values
your
well-being
and
respects
your
choices,
look
no
further
than
Planned
Parenthood.
They
are
a
lifeline
for
reproductive
health,
and
I'm
immensely
grateful
for
their
outstanding
care.
