Surgical Abortion
Surgical Abortion Procedures are available up to 14 weeks and 6 days from the start of the last menstrual period, as determined by ultrasound in our office.
A surgical abortion is performed with your choice of local anesthesia or intravenous sedation (twilight sleep).
Surgical abortion procedures are done in a single day. If you are over 13 weeks, your doctor may recommend using a medication called misoprostol to help prpare your cervix for the procedure. You will be given the misoprostol soon after arriving in the clinic and will than wait 90 minutes to 3 hours for the medication to have ist effect.
Surgical Abortion Follow-up Care
A follow-up visit is not required after a surgical abortion. However, if you would like to be seen simply to be reassured that everything is OK, we will be happy to see you at no cost. We are always available if you feel you might be having a problem after an abortion. There is never a charge for post-procedure care.

State of Arizona Consent
The State of Arizona requires that women having an abortion must have a consultation with the doctor at least 24 hours prior to the procedure. The state requires us to give you certain pieces of information at that consultation. This information can only be given to you in person by one of our doctors. This means that you will need to make two visits to our office, one to receive the state-required information, and once for your abortion procedure. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please understand that this process is required by state law.
