Not very informative about the process. One young lady told me I would be here for about 4 hours for the procedure. I had an 8:30am appointment and it is now 9:32am. I went to ask what was taking so long and one of the girls said they had to do paperwork and prepare anesthesia but they have called at least four people back ahead of me. Then one of the young ladies says I will need to be here for about 6 hours. All of the staff should be versed in the approximate time it will take. Y’all shouldn’t be telling people two different things. And why have me schedule my appointment for so early if you’re not going to call me back until halfway through the day? I would have appreciated MORE information and more ACCURATE information so I could plan my day better. I’m really disappointed in the experience so far. I’m still waiting. They finally called me back for my second ultrasound at 10:00am and now I am in the second waiting room before procedure with four other women. The doctor and nurse were kind. I do see that they are very busy so I guess they are doing their best to get everyone in and out in a timely manner. The processes is what takes so long.

Overall the experience was great. I got deep sedation, put me to sleep and I didn’t feel or remember a thing. The only complaint I have is that I got there at 10am and wasn’t seen until 7pm, there were 33 people in total including me so I am sure it was just a busy day. The Dr. was super caring and staff made sure I was as comfortable as I could be, going now 20 hours without eating or drinking, but now that it’s over I couldn’t be happier. I also got to talk to some of the other women there to pass the time by which was also super nice and helped calm my nerves. Thank you Aaron’s women’s center. It was a great experience with nice people. Some advice to people who are going in for the surgery. EAT A BIG MEAL AS LATE AS YOU CAN. And drink lots of water. That’ll definitely help.

I absolutely loved my experience here. i went in for the first time & they took care of me right away. they did my ultrasound but it was too early in my pregnancy for the ultrasound to detect anything so they scheduled me to return in two weeks. i returned after the two weeks & they redid my ultrasound & immediately set me up for my surgery that same morning. everything was so easy & pain-free. my favorite thing about this clinic was the lovely staff!!! very sweet, caring & non-judgemental. i felt very comfortable throughout everything. definitely recommend this clinic!

An upfront and brutally honest review of Aaron’s Women’s Clinic. Speaking on behalf of my wife and her experience and me as the husband.We were lied to. We had a confirmed appointment over the phone and on the day of the appointment we showed up about 2 hours late. A very emotional and sensitive event my wife has to go through, it was rough to show up however we made it in on her scheduled day.As we approached an honest and promising looking building, we made our way inside and after a few minutes were questioned why we showed up late. After explaining our situation as honest as possible they accepted us to start the 3 day procedure. Minutes later they say she may no longer do it and there is nothing we can do at this facility.If you’re a woman or a loved one of someone who has to go through such a sensitive procedure, save yourself the time and do not come to Aaron’s women’s clinic. I’m not sure who there is to blame, but there’s miscommunication in here and with something so serious and delicate you need to know the truth through every step of the way.

This experience was traumatizing. The wait took so long after not eating for 12 hours.There were 2 people there who I was a fan of but quit frankly the doctor HAS TO GO! He didn’t care about the patient on the table and was concerned about people hearing me in pain. I’m having surgery...why are you not soothing me. The thought of how he made me feel still has me crying. If this place doesn’t get another doctor I will personally report this facility. Being a licensed social worker, I do not recommend this for anyone.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this facility, their services, and their staff. I walked in alone and scared and was guided every single step of the way by the kindest, most genuine and considerate people I have gotten the pleasure to meet. I had a surgical procedure done and had to wait quite a long time to get it done because they are a busy place but it was comfortable and as cozy as it could be and felt SAFE. I always informed on what was happening to me and was treated with respect and felt valued as a human being and not just a number like those other places. If you are scared or nervous or doubtful- don’t be when you come here. I was in surgery and out before I knew it and felt NO pain and didn’t remember a single part of the procedure even happening which is incredible because that was the part I was most afraid of. The doctor is wonderful and professional and kind and funny too! Being in my situation I didn’t expect to come out feeling this relieved but I am very pleased with this place and their staff and recommended any woman in need of their services to walk in without fear. While I never hope to have to go again, I know I have a safe space if I ever need it. Thank you for changing lives.

They charged me $100 just to tell me that they dont do medical abortions and I have to be at least five weeks. However, I just called and the employee said that they do offer medical abortions.

Read the 1 stars if you need real information on this place. I hope you have nothing but time money on your hands. Appointment was 9:45 for 2nd visit. Its 1:30 now and Im still in the waiting room.. 795 for full anesthesia plus sonogram is 200. No real appointment thats just the time you show up (come an hr or 2 early maybe?!!) And you wait for many hrs. Have not eaten since 10 night before and horrible nausea.

It takes a while to get seen during walk ins but over all not a bad experience. Also bonus there’s no crazy planed parenthood protesters around soooo there’s that. i give it a solid 4 stars and say come in early if you’re doing a walk in .

Worst experience of my life. The people there are extremely rude, very unprofessional, and unorganized. The girl in the front office Shelby gave me 3 different prices to pay ranging from $595 to $895, when I told her I was quoted something different, another worker chimed in to tell me that “that doesn’t matter”. My appointment was set for 10am, but after waiting for hours, I wasn’t seen until 3pm. During the procedure, the dr. (Older white male) was so rude and unfriendly. He made me feel humiliated and very uncomfortable. I said “ow” one time and he yelled at me “DO NOT BE VOCAL! NO!!”. This experience was not only traumatizing but very scary, as your life is in their hands, especially on the operating table and they are there yelling at you as if they can feel your pain. If you want to go to a facility that actually cares, DO NOT GO HERE. They are money driven and do not care about the patients. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Please go somewhere else in houston. You deserve better than this. Everyone I spoke to while leaving said the exact same thing. Trust me.

Women I want you all to know that you can not trust the negative reviews for this clinic. I read the reviews about the staff and services and I almost did not go. But I read some positive reviews and decided to take my chances. From the moment I walked in I felt a since of peace! The staff was so pleasant and informative. Especially Joe, she has an amazing spirit! And the doctor, his personality is so so comforting!!! Although, by the Grace of God, I have a false postitve test and did not have to make the 2nd appointment, if I was ever in that situation again, I know where to go! GREAT PLACE...they deserve an A+!

Pros: They have walk in appointment. Charge $100 for initial. Includes only Ultrasound. Visit 2 - assuming they saw gestational sac on visit 1, they check your blood and go with the procedure.Cons:1) The Doctor was 3 hours late when I went there. This people are very unorganized and the system is driven by money.2) They push for you to do surgery and not the pill; they will find useless and unscientific reason and scare tactic for you to pick surgery over pill. Most pill appointments are 2 weeks after your first so clearly anxious women will pick surgery due to time crunch.3) The second appointment is always a week out due to “doctors schedule” and they charge a lot for the second visit. Roughly $650 or $550 depending on the type of sedation4) If the doctor who did your first visit works on sat then they will call you back on Saturday and force you to take general anesthetic and charge you additional $100 for the same.5) The doctor - ( some male doctor that I saw who was late, rude and did not have any interest on explaining me why to pick surgery over pill.) This doctor is very rude and did not make me feel comfortable at all. He wanted me to do the procedure because that’s why he did over there at the clinic. No other logic honestly.6) Funding option is a joke, they require you to wait two weeks to get funding. Again anxious women will pay as she wouldn’t wait any longer.other reviews are right, they don’t do anything until you are 5 weeks pregnant from the day of conception and not your last period due to no visibility of gestational sac on ultrasound. They will check your blood iron level on the day of second visit so make sure you are 10 and above otherwise they will turn you back. Girls upfront don’t mention any of this on your first appointment to prepare you. You just find out later on your own. Imagine the anxiety of not getting the procedure that day and losing time off of work and stuff.Over all roughly $200 more expensive than planned parenthood. For someone In this position for the very first time, please don’t go here. For someone who wants pill I say don’t even call this clinic and try another place.Having said all of that, they are doing their job and I understand why the place is the way it is. My review is for ladies who are like me and needed information before selecting the clinic.

The staff here could not have made this experience any less stressful. Everyone was so kind and made me feel as comfortable as I could be. Especially Daisy and Jo. They were so patient and so kind to me. They were there every step of the way. I am very thankful I had them as my nurses. The doctor here Is kind and patient as well.You can tell he’s a genuine person who only wants the best for his patients. He walked me through everything that was happening. Overall I am glad I drove 6 hours to go to this facility instead of choosing any other one. Truly great and genuine people.

I can not say enough good things about this facility. They treated me as one of the family and really went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable during this whole process. Given the most heartbreaking decision my husband and I have ever had to make, the team here took the best care of me and my husband. They let my husband know how everything was going throughout the day, kept me posted on when everything would be done, kept me comfortable and relaxed even though I was completely shattered and made me feel as home. I want to especially thank Linda, Stacy and Shelby for their open arms. I have never experienced so much caring and support from a group of people. Dr. Karpen, you were absolutely amazing. Thank you for being honest and straight forward with me.

READ ! I wouldnt recommend this place it seem really fishy !! I went for appointment and was only 3 weeks pregnant and they didnt even offer the pill ! They automatically said i had to get surgical removal AT 8 WEEKS. When i questioned why couldn’t i get pill they gave me the run around and said its state procedure . I called other clinics and they said that was absolutely false !!! Going through a timeLike this can be stressful and clinic should make you feel as comfortable as possible !! Please choose clinics wisely so you don’t waste $100 on first visitHouston women’s reproductive service was amazing ! Great service

I brought my daughter to this clinic today for a surgical abortion, and I was EXTREMELY impressed with the level of professionalism, compassion, and care she received. The overall experience was outstanding!Living in Texas, it is very difficult to find a clinic since there are so few left, and sadly the majority of the ones that remain open get away with providing a much lower standard of care. Also, Aaron Women’s Clinic was the ONLY clinic that had a Board Certified anesthesiologist to provide a true “deep sedation” which resulted in a completely painless, comfortable procedure.Most other clinics advertise IV sedation, twilight sedation or moderate sedation, but none of these are true deep sedation. Since they have an anesthesiologist, they are the only clinic that can provide deep sedation anesthesia which is the most common type of anesthesia used for short procedures. Full general anesthesia requires intubation and mechanical breathing assistance). With deep sedation, the patient can breathe on their own, does not have pain, and experiences amnesia so they have no recall of the procedure.We had attempted to have the procedure performed at a different clinic in Houston. My daughter had the sonogram performed there, and then on the procedure day they called me after 3 hours to tell me they could not perform the abortion. Although they advertised IV sedation., they gave my daughter 14 different pills to take by mouth. They never informed me she would be receiving any oral medication.She experienced an adverse reaction to these medications and ultimately they were unable to complete the procedure. Although my daughter did not receive the IV medication, the oral sedatives (a benzo combo) alone left her unconscious and unable to be roused for 26 hours after she was given the pills.After spending multiple days researching clinics, It was immediately apparent from the first phone call with Aaron Clinic that this clinic was in a league of its own, and our experience there was 100 % different from the experience we had at the other clinic. The entire office staff from the receptionist to the nurse and doctors were friendly, accommodating, and truly concerned for my daughter‘s well-being.Since my daughter is a minor (17), they allowed me to accompany her to the exam room. During our first meeting with the doctor. despite the fact that the clinic was extremely busy, we never once felt rushed, and the doctor took a very thorough and complete medical history. He carefully reviewed and discussed my daughter’s other health issues and medications. He took his time and went over absolutely everything. with us. I was immediately comforted by his years of experience, bedside manner, and knowledge. His wife also works in the clinic, I believe she is the practice manager, and she was absolutely amazing! Everything was very clean and sterile, and they strictly adhered to all state laws/requirements.This pregnancy was a rare and unexpected event since It occurred since my daughter had an IUD that was in place when she learned she was pregnant.Although I do not anticipate our family having the need for their services again in the future, I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone in need of an abortion. Fortunately, we only live 45 minutes away, but if you live many hours away, it would be well worth the travel time to receive this level of medical care!

Review №25

The staff gives zero to little information. My first appointment the only info given to me before I arrived was the time and date. No one mentioned I would be there for multiple hours just waiting for a sonogram or how much it would cost. Thankfully I had time and enough money to cover the first visit but it would have been really embarrassing if I had not. I also think that all staff needs a refresher course in bed side manner. It’s a lot of sit here and wait all by yourself while you panic about what you’re about to go through. It’s nerve racking, especially for someone who has never done this or doesn’t have anyone to talk to about it. They separate you from your support person almost the moment you get there. There wasn’t an ounce of comfort or understanding given during the sonogram or procedure. No one was worried about the patient, at least that’s how it seemed. It felt very much like hurry up and rush you through so they could get to the next person and collect the fee. Every time someone answered a phone around there they could tell you from memory how much you would pay for your procedure at any stage .While they did get the job done, and I have had zero complications so far, if I ever have to or need to go through this again I will not be returning here. I definitely won’t recommend it to anyone ever looking for a place either. I also don’t regret the choice I made. So my bitterness doesn’t stem from any regret. They all need to do better.

For what little time my wife and I had with the bad cards we were dealt, we were greeted with open arms and great hospitality that made us feel like we couldnt have been in a better place. Linda and Stacy went out of their way to make my wife feel comfortable and Dr. Karpen is extremely professional at what he does and im so forever grateful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs help. Thank you Dr. Karen and staff.

I just called to inquire about an appointment this morning, 2/29/2020. I spoke with Linda. She was very rude with me and hung up the phone in my face. I called back and asked for her name and the license number to this facility to report to Austin. She told me that this facility DOES NOT have a license and for me to just go somewhere else. I don’t know this lady, but this seemed very personal. She would not give the phone to a manager. Very unprofessional. I’m turned off at first impression!

Excellent place. Very sweet doctor and staff. I was treated so well and at all times felt safe and cared for. If you need an abortion please go here or at least check them out. I went to Houston Womens Clinic and was shocked at how horrible and dirty it was. Be careful with your health choices. You can get an infection that will kill you if you go to a doctor or clinic that is not clean. And the staff at Houston Womens was rude and obviously did not care about the patients. They just wanted me to schedule an appointment and did not want to answer my questions. Ladies Beware. I checked out the clinics before I decided to go here. This is the absolute best place in Texas. Thanks to all the staff and the doctor.

This is hard never done this before but I had my reasons good thing is this place has full anesthesia and I didn’t feel or remember anything.

My first visit was for an ultrasound (100$) to see how far along I was. They call you by numbers instead of your name. I was 8 weeks and price was quoted 795. I had it scheduled for the next Saturday and I get there and was told my iron was to low so I would have to wait it was 9.7 and they want 10 or higher. So get some iron pills Incase they forget to tell you bc who wants to drag out a emotional and tough situation. So I had to wait 2 more weeks bc the doc went out of town the next week. Ok day of procedure they mixed me a another patient’s chart up 3x but they caught it before the doctor came to give me another ultrasound. The older lady who did my iv I completely understand you’ve probably been doing this for years but I was concerned that she did mines and went straight to the next lady no hand sanitizer or nothing and then pulled the needle out and stabbed it in the chair. The bathroom in the bath was a little dusty. Overall the doctor was straight to the point and I don’t think he was rude just very blunt. The staff was nice to me and answered any questions I had and also informed me of the Lilith which I called on all their open days to increase my chances. I believe one lady name was Kelly she was beyond nice and accommodating. I would return here if need be and I had no complications just minor bleeding and of course pain. I’m right at 3 days from my procedure being 2 weeks ago. I wanted to wait to write my review to make sure everything was good. Thanks for your services!!!

Chose this location based off reviews. Made a great choice. For weeks I’ve been nervous about the whole procedure but it was no where near as bad as I thought. Even tho the doc got a little frustrated with me due to me not being as relaxed as he’d like but what you expect when you’re nervous. Overall everyone was nice and cared. Made me feel safe. The wait time was a bit long but I won’t complain you get to relax and have some quiet time. You won’t be disappointed with the place. Although I hope and pray I never have to return.

Review №47

HafgeI absolutely loved the Doctor and all staff. All of my questions were answered and then some. I especially appricate Dr Karpens honesty and knowledge. A few weeks before finding Dr Karpen i unfortunately had a terrible experience at Dr Rosenfelds office. The clinic was unsanitary and Dr Rosenfeld seemed inoxicated. He never looked at me in the eyes and had urine on his scrubs after using the bathroom. He did NOT preform the ultrasound which i now know is ilegal. He sent me home with 8 Cycotec to take 4 saturday and 4 sunday, which is also ilegal. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which in some cases Cycotec is used for which i did not know. I had no bleeding and was also told the fetus was deceased. Again by a women tech not Dr Rosenfeld. After a long, painful and emotional weekend i went to a Emergency Clinic the Monday after. I was told by a Doctor although the fetus had a heartbeat of 80 or under it was not dead as i was told the previous Thursday again by a Tech not Dr Rosenfeld. So i was lied to. Dr Rosenfeld also made me sign numerous concent forms and copy a letter his wife (whom is on his staff) wrote out for me to copy. Now i see why. He was trying to cover all his basis as a Doctor he knew he was commiting a crime. I am a mother of a little girl and definitley a feminist and would NEVER want this to happen to any other woman/women. He is a liar and does not have any bedside manor in which i feel due to the situation at hand i very important. I hope my story helps detour even 1 woman from making the same mistake i did. Not to mention the money i lost due to lies and criminal activity. Please stay away from Dr Rosenfeld. Dr Karpen is honest, very informative and genially cares about his patients. I would recommend him to all women, again especially due to the sensitivity of the issue at hand. Thank you and agian please keep my awful encounter with Dr Rosenfeld in mind when picking a doctor. Hope this experience i went through NEVER happens again. Thanks.

This place was wonderful, we had to make the hard choice of coming here. They made me feel so goodnight the entire time yes the wait was so long but it was because it was better for me. Linda the nurse was great she answer every question I had and my husband said they answer his too. The whole process when fast on the last day I didnt feel anything and they have called to check on me days later! Go here if you need to make this choice. The clinic was very clean! No pain at all!

Review №50

This clinic is unorganized, chaotic, and unsympathetic. After arriving an hour early to our appointment, the office had already lost our paper work. We flew in specifically for this clinic and had arranged everything prior to our arrival on the phone the week before. They were unprepared to say the least. After making us wait for 4+ hours, we were told no care could be provided because of details that were ignorantly overlooked by both the staff and the attending medical doctor. I can not stress this enough: if you value your body and the care it receives STEER CLEAR OF AARONS WOMEN’s CENTER. They are nothing more than a mill, churning out as many patients in a single day as they can.UPDATE:After giving the clinic a second chance and proposing we fly out for a second attempt, the staff member on the phone referenced my bad yelp review and then threaten us saying she would “allow us to visit but (she) didn’t want any attitude when the process gets delayed.” She then quoted us a process time of 6 to 7 hours (excluding sonogram) which was double the time we were told on our previous trip. The staff was literally threatening us with waiting times and delays. This was malicious and uncaring to put it politely. No woman should have to go through this, and no staff member should be allowed to push a patient to tears with her crude and callous attitude.

I found that everyone in the building was knowledgeable of whatever question I had. Not only did I get answers I received real life friendly answers. There was no sugar coating going on. They used the best examples to describe what would happen next. I found that they are also family oriented. I think 3 generations are there right now. Despite what you are going through please talk with any of the ladies. Pretty cool people. I would suggest taking the day off from work because thats what I did for my 3 day procedure. I would get there and just relax and let them tell me what to do next. Dr. K was awesome because he is quick and understanding and he has a staff that knows his every move like synchronized swimmers. I am very observant and there was not one person that could not help. I want to thank everyone there who made my life a little bit easier. Please keep up the great work that each and every one of you do at TASC. I was even motivated to get a nice shade of red lip stick, a nice big Titan truck, and enroll into a nursing program. Lots of love sent to you all! Thank you very much!

I want to thank all of the wonderful nurses and staff members at this center who went above and beyond to help me through a very difficult period of time. First of all, they were the only clinic in the area that was able to take me in on the same day, which I really needed.When I came in, not only did I feel 100% free of judgement, they helped me feel calm, safe, and cared for. Everyone was kind and professional and they made the process as easy as possible. They are very busy and the wait time is long (arrive early if you can), but its clear that they do their best to offer quality care to all women.

I give Aarons 5 stars, no doubt. If I could give more I would. CLEAN, SAFE, GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM, PROFESSIONAL, COMFORTING, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OFFERED.From my first appointment to the procedure appointment I was treated with kindness & patience. Not one person seemed to be judged, every woman that I saw walk into the clinic was treated equally. EVERY single staff member were all smiles, I could tell it wasnt just for show. Especially Miss Linda, she was there for me from beginning til the end when she walked me out to my ride. She comforted me thru the whole process and I just adored her. This place doesnt treat you like cattle with money in your hand. They like to keep the ball rolling, but not to the point where you feel rushed. They explain EVERYTHING along the way. The doctor was a sweetheart, hes old school and he has his ways of doing things, but he doesnt skip around corners just to get to the next person. He will do whatever he needs to do to make sure the process is safe and secure for YOU. And thats definitely not something you will see often in this field. My procedure was a 4 day process, since I was so far along. (Like I said, they dont skip around corners) After the procedure I felt NO pain AT ALL. I feel relieved and I feel like myself again thanks to this facility. Please take this decision seriously, you want to do whats best for your body and your emotional health. This isnt a best bang for your buck process. It requires safe methods and most of all REAL support from REAL people. I can guarantee Aarons will provide you with all of the above.

This clinic is a lifesaver! I am so grateful that this place exists! Girls, if you cant have your baby for some reason, this is the place to go!I was turned away from so many clinics, because Im high risk. Dont waste your time, energy and money at other clinics! If I didnt call 50 clinics in the whole country, than none. I live with a life threatening medical condition and the only possible way for me was with deep sedation(+500$). For some reason no other place offers the procedure with deep sedation and we are writing 2019. Every clinic offers twilight sedation. I live in Dallas, was able to see the doctor for the first appointment in Dallas and was given the second appointment for 2 days later Saturday morning in Houston. (Texas law, 2 step procedure). They were fantastic! Highly professional, knowledgeable, everybody goes out of their way to comfort you in such an uncomfortable and challenging situation and I can be hard to deal with when Im in so much pain and discomfort. Thanks for putting up with me! I was not well. Nurse Linda, thank you so much for calming me down and telling me dont worry honey, it will be ok, it meant the world to me! Oh, and the doctor is funny :) They were so good at making me laugh when Im stressing out and make me feel comfortable about this scary procedure. Truly amazing how they handle the situation. Confidence is key! The doctor has 40 years experience and it shows. Every single staff member, nurse, doctor was a fantastic team member.

As a first time patient here, my experience was so good . I was so nervous about everything, but they help claim me down, told me everything that was going to happen so there were no surprises. While you wait they have you as comfortable as much as possible. Would recommend this place to anyone in my situation.

Review №62

Okay let me just make this very clear. When a woman decides to have an abortion, it is one of the hardest decisions to make in life definitely when you show up at the clinic. The audacity that the woman in the office had to ask me if I was “angry” after I wasn’t wanting to really talk after she kept questioning me about my debt card which I provided my ID. Thank you to the lady in the office who made me so upset I started balling my eyes out, my heart is already broken with the choice I have to make and you just made it a hundred times worse. Just FYI I was in the clinic today at 1020 am on July 3rd, 2019. You should never ever ask a young woman like myself if they are angry about the most difficult choice they will ever have to make in their life of terminating their own baby. If I could give this place no rating I would after how I was treated.

Dear doctor and staff,I want to thank you for doing what you do to help women through a difficult process that was already a difficult and heart breaking decision to make.I realize this office is not one where normal doctor-patient relationship are forged. Everyone of your staff is as sweet, helpful, understanding and informative as they could be, not to mention how patient they where with me.Thank you doctor for the clarity of your instructions and letting me know the things I needed to know. And for carrying the burden of keeping the emotionally painful events a secret.Thank you all of you for taking such good care of me. I will see you in 3wks for my follow-up.Sincerely yoursJuanita Toledo

Staff were very nice and professional. They talked and laughed with you at all times making you feel very comfortable. There was no time where I felt like just a patient going into surgery. Then when I had trouble finding a driver since i lived out of town; they did research on their end to help me get home instead of just blowing it off saying they couldnt help. Love this facility and would refer anyone to them.

Excellent place. Very sweet doctor and staff. I was treated so well and at all times felt safe and cared for. If you need an abortion please go here or at least check them out. I went to Houston Womens Clinic and was shocked at how horrible and dirty it was. Be careful with your health choices. You can get an infection that will kill you if you go to a doctor or clinic that is not clean. And the staff at Houston Womens was rude and obviously did not care about the patients. They just wanted me to schedule an appointment and did not want to answer my questions. Ladies Beware. I checked out the clinics before I decided to go here. This is the absolute best place in Texas. Thanks to all the staff and the doctor.

Other than the long for nothing wait it was a great experience. I was put under and I admit I was scared because I have never been put under for anything but it was over before ai even knew what was going on. One minute bI was talking with the doctor and nurses next minute Im in the recovery room all done. The medicine they give you is great. Recommend them to anyone who needs the job to be done.

STOP ! WAIT !THIS IS A REAL REVIEW .....Worst place EVER ! If you want your self confidence and heart to be broken then come here . This place should not even be allowed to be able to do abortions they give people false hope and over charge for service . While y’all at it for an bad abortion clinic search this clinic up also u will see a lot of disturbing things about it . I will not waste my time or money here the doctor was so rude to me after he did the ultrasound he put my spirit down and make me feel worthless . So pls pls make sure u take the time actually think about this clinic before u give your money to it ! The doctor was talking to me as “demanding and like I’m not worth his time , he even told me I’m the doctor not u and basically whatever he say and does that’s what it going to be “ They are not worth it RUN!!!!! 😩I’m still crying

The TX Surgical Center is a really nice place compared to the other clinics in houston. They also offer the cheapest prices in Houston! If youre 14+ they can also help you here, which Ive heard is cheaper than planned parenthood! This surgical center is definitely not your typical shoe box clinic.

I had my procedure done last week. Yes the wait is long but if this what you choose then just be patient. They were really good. Most of the questions I asked they had answers right a way. I had no problem at this place the nurses took care of me & I was shock of how quick & throughly they did my procedure. The doctor checked me twice after the nurse (watching the ultrasound) said I was clear he still did a quick sweep & manually checked me with his hands to make sure I didnt have anything in my pelvic area. Its a clinic that has done lots of procedures. I would recommend this place. Thank you to the staff & doctors for helping me through this tough time.

On my first consultation for an ultrasound it looked kinda shady and I was so nervous. I felt like the wait took forever. My 2nd appointment was a complete turn around. Went in at 8:30, Dr. Was very nice and got straight to the point. The medicine did wonders in helping me to relax, and the nurse was right there rubbing my arm and assuring me everything was fine. Quick and quite pain less. I was headed home at 10:30. Thanks again for helping me through😘

Review №81

This place took such good care of me. About a week and a half before visiting this office I had gone to another place for an ultrasound/ abortion( which was $500 altogether) and afterwards went home and tried to take the antibiotics they had giving and and I tried taking them w food w/out food everything and I would always throw it back up so I was worried I would get an infection so I went to the hospital and did a whole bunch of test and ultrasounds. She comes back to explain to me that there was nothing one sign that I had an abortion. I was 100% shocked. I also found out that I have negative blood so I need a shot of rhogam post procedure and this office did not test my blood/ask me about my blood type at at all, then I returned the next day after I get out of the hospital and I am absolutely so upset and angry and She told me I needed another ultrasound and I was pleading and crying for them not to give me one and she kept insisting that I HAD to I finally said okay and took my ultrasound. So the day of the abortion comes around and I’m sitting in the room getting ready for the procedure and I’m crying super scared worried allof the above and After the “doctor” “finished up” he then through his gloves off and said “ you should of done the pill “ and left the room. My parents found Arron’s women’s center and booked me an ultrasound/abortion. This has been my 5/6th ultrasound at this point and it was very overwhelming the doctor &nurse Jamie was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING she could tell that I was shaking like a wet dog and nervous as all hell. She was so understanding . If you ever need something like this this is for sure the facility to go through. I 100 percent promise it will be the best experience you can have like this

Review №82

My wife is beyond satisfied with her experience here at Aaron Womens Clinic. Dr. Karpen explained each option available for termination(7weeks)and even recommended the asleep option which entails being put completely under by an anesthesiologist. The emotional distress of my wife is fairly low for what she expected, but is due in part to not being conscious for the procedure. My wife was also very pleased with Dr. Karpen and the nurses bedside manner.Yes, you have to wait up to 4 hours, but its because theres only one doctor performing these procedures and theres a considerable amount of diligence and time the Doctor and his staff are putting into each patient.

I absolutely love this place. I had a problem. Me and my husband are in the military and it would have been hard for us to have a baby. So I can here and they were loving and honest. I was 4 weeks and the doctor told me that he could do it until I was 5 weeks, but because o was going overseas the next day he told me he would try. And he did and he got all of it.THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE THIER AWESOME!!!!

Everyone from the front desk to the doctor were amazing 😉. Shelby. Staci. Linda. Carissima Tan. Doctor karpen and his wife. This was such an emotional time for all of us and they made us feel comfortable and accepting of the issues of fetal anomaly. It was completely confidential and reassuring. I recommend this place to all women in need You will be in a better place in your mind when all is said and done. Words cant express our gratitude ❤️ They all went above and beyond

This place helped me out in a very difficult time in my life. I was 18 years old and 17 weeks pregnant so it was pretty expensive almost 2 grand. However the girls at the front desk gave me a list of places that donate money to abortion costs for girls in need and were able to get 200 dollars off of my procedure. I had To come in 3 days for them to insert the laminaria to soften my cervix and I still didn’t have the full payment on the first day but they started the procedure anyways because having me wait would only jump the price up and I am very greatful for that. I came in on the third day for the procedure and paid the rest.The reason I gave 3 stars was because the dr is not as nice as his staff and doesn’t like to put up with girls that are in discomfort. But I mean I do get it because it can make it difficult to do his job correctly if you are moving around, but he should still have a better demeanor.The anesthesiologist guy was great!! Made small talk with me about my tattoos and made me completely forget where I was before I went under.

Review №89

I had high hopes walking into this place, it seemed private and quiet. Well it went down hill fast. The doctor is flat out rude. At an emotional time the last thing you need is to feel like your wasting their time. He is very arragent and makes it uncomfortable to even ask questions. He told me my only option is to be put to sleep because when He gave me an ultrasound I squirmed and he doesn’t deal with the oohs and the ouches. I heard the two people before me have to be put to sleep as well so I got the impression if he isn’t interested if he can’t put you to sleep and not deal with you. I went on a Monday and he said he only can put you to sleep on Saturdays because the girl he uses lives in Oklahoma. I frowned because i Came on a Monday and like any other person wants it to be over as soon as possible. He catches an attitude like he is doing you a favor. Horrible experience I cried when I left and thank my lucky stars that led my to the doctor I went with because they were cheaper and a million times more caring.

Thank you to the dr and staff for such a positive experience. This was scary at first but they were so professional and helpful evry step of the way. I was able to get help financially from the Lilith Fund which was a blessing, it was just a portion of the cost but it definitely helped out. The procedure here is not cheap but it’s worth every penny bc it’s a clean. Professionally ran surgical center, it’s not just a cheap clinic like planned parenthood. They are so presise about every detail on the day of your procedure. They check your iron levels and check your blood type and then give u a pill that melts in your mouth to soften your cervix so that the procedure goes smoother. The doctor is firm and honest with you from the start. I was there from 8am and left at 12:30 the longest part was just waiting for my cervix to soften up. The procedure took 5 mins The staff (nurses) are caring and helpful and make you feel so comfortable. I was put to sleep for the procedure which is the best way honestly. I was given the anesthesia and was out right away. I woke up in the recovery room felt like minutes later and remember asking the nurse “it’s already over”? It was so simple and easy. I immediately had some cramping but nothing worse than reg period cramps. The nurse gave me some pain meds that worked right away. When I got home i had no pain just bleeding. Just felt like I was having a normal period. They sent me home with antibiotics and pain meds and even walked me out to my ride. There were protesters when I arrived that morning but they stay out of parking and try and talk to you but no yelling or pushy mean stuff you see on tv. You just ignore them and go about your business. I remember being on that side of the conversation at one time. But in recent years my view has changed. Everyone has a different story on why they are making this decision. The day of the procedure I spoke to other women there. Some who had 3 or more kids and their family just couldn’t afford anymore to a college student who had a sports career and was barely 19 just trying to do what was best for her future. I will not ever judge anyone for the decisions they make anymore. And I am so happy that we have to choice in this country to make the decision on what we feel is right for our lives. And I am so glad places like this exist to help women. I do not regret this whatsoever. It was the right choice for me!

Omg !!!!!!!!!That’s all I have to say !!!!!! The ladies in the front talked to my wife in such a way that she felt so comfortable and secure going tru the whole process there were some questions she felt more comfortable asking the ladies in the front the 3 Hispanic ladies answer the questions in such detail there was no doubt we had came to the right place. My wife mention that the lady that was with the doctor while he did the ultrasound was basically every where he went which made my wife feel better knowing the friendly face was going to be there while the doctor did the procedure, she explained how she needed to walk and drink water basically the do’s and don’t after the procedure am super glad everyone took there time with my wife and treated her individualy and made sure her safety was first because we do plan on having kids simply not now.

This place is HORRIBLE. Everyone here is RUDE & the doctor is delusional. These people over charge you for everything. I was charged a extra $150 because I had morning sickness. My total was $850 for 6 weeks of pregnancy. The clinic is beyond filthy and reminded me soooo much of a slaughter house. The smell in the ultrasound room was horrible. The clinic floor was dirty. Also the nurse claimed she lost my blood work (that was never done or needed) & that I needed to pay $100 extra for them to repeat. Not to mention the clinic called me every week to reschedule my appointment because the doctor did not show up, but yet I was charged another fee smh. I recommend you all to drive right past this clinic and pick another abortion provider. Houston Womens Clinic or Planned Parenthood.

Review №98

I had absolute no problem with anyone or any appointment.They tried making everything as convenient as they could for me as im from Louisiana.I went for two days. I had an ultrasound and the first part of the procedure done. I had a white pill and two Orange pills. Theyre just there for comfort. It wasnt so much od pain but more pressure. Procedure itself didnt take long, but the waiting will obviously be long as there are so many women in your situation. The second day, i went right on back and got my medication. You get pills that disolve in your mouth and those help ripen your cervix. Youll wait a while. At least two hours or so in the room where youll sit and watch tv and have a blanket to cover up because itll be chilly. Youll eventually get an i.v and then not long after the i.v, youre turn for the last part of the procedure and will be asleep the whole thing through! Give yourself and your driver about 5 hours to stay there.The Dr. Is pretty sweet and will answer questions. He is older and moreso set in his ways, so dont be alarmed if he seems standoffish. Hes just extremely busy. He definitely knows what hes doing though. Again, bc there are many women in your situation.Mrs linda that sits in the back with you will try to do a boogy dance if you let her! She reminds me so much of my grandma and weird or not, it made the process so much easier. All the other nurses were sweet and make sure to have a smile on their face. Its a very positive environment considering what its based on.Now, they do give you a number and call you by tbat number. Its for your protection. I definitely wouldnt want my name called just in case they tried looking me up lol. So the number thing isnt bad. I wouldnt call it being treated like cattle. Another great thing, its clean there! Lol. Thank all of aaron women people so much!! Yall were so amazing.💗💗💗
