This place is an absolute life saver, as ironic as that may sound. My girlfriend and I were completely caught off guard by the news and timing couldn’t be worse for both of us. To have this compassionate option and the privacy Early Options offered was an absolute blessing for our situation. Unbelievably professional, compassionate and knowledgeable care. Do not hesitate to reach out to them, they will walk you through every step. Your woman’s mental and physical Heath is in good hands here.

Simply the best! Definitely a high-end/ upscale option but you are getting privacy and absolute best service. You are seen by just one nurse who will be with you from beginning to end. The doctor has great hands and does not use any vacuum/ suction. Procedure was very quick and as painless as it could be. No tearing unlike other places that use harsher methods and therefore healing was quick. Warm, caring and friendly nurse who attended to my needs. She gave me a follow-up call to make sure I was okay. In and out in an hour. Highly recommend. Worth every cent.

I really cant thank Dr. Fleischman enough! I wasnt made to feel like just another number. She was so caring and kind. After the procedure, I was crampy and the staff was very attentive. They didnt rush me, they were all just there for me in every way.I wouldnt think twice about recommending this office to anyone I know in need of abortion services.Thank you again!

The morning I woke up to go to early options, I was terrified. The embarrassment that ran through my mind and the thought of the potential pain from the procedure was the only thing I could think off. Upon arrival to their office I was greeted by Madeline who walked me to a warm sunny room. I instantly felt comfort, because it wasnt the usual cold medical office. What I appreciated even more was the privacy and never having to run into other patients. Then came Joan who performed the procedure. She walked me through every step, while Madeline held my hand for support and just a few cramps later, I was done. I was shocked at how painless it was. It just felt like a period cramp. The process only took 1 minute. After that, they served me some tea and snacks while I recovered before leaving. I am grateful for business like Early Options and women like Joan and Madeline who support women in having options. The service was beyond what I expected.

I was so nervous and super scare when going in but they made me feel comfortable and at peace. Maggie was the best . She made sure I was good and held my hands throughout the process. She always checked up on me and explained whatever I needed to know very well. The process was very fast and I left feeling better and would recommend this place to anyone who wants to go through this process.

I accompanied my sister to the office and I can’t say enough! Dr. Fleischman was really kind and caring with my sister. She made her feel comfortable and safe. The staff is just so caring. I can’t recommend Early Options enough! Thank you Dr. Fleischman, Maggie and Johannna! You guys are the best!

I am not usually one to write reviews, but I am absolutely blown away by the level of genuine empathy and care I have received from Early Options. We all know that this is not an easy process for anyone, but the entire staff at Early Options made me feel the most comfortable I could ever imagine feeling given the circumstances of my visit here. I highly, highly recommend this place. You will leave feeling genuinely cared for and heard. The staff at Early Options only have your best needs and comfort in mind. I am so happy I found this place!

I am in the field of mental health and I was very concerned for my mental well being as I was faced with the need to terminate a pregnancy. I was very fortunate to find out about this place, Dr. Fleischman is an absolute professional in her work and a non-judgemental person which so incredibly important in these moments when a woman is already dealing with a tremendous amount of negative self judgement. Thank you Dr Fleischman and your wonderful staff for all your care and understanding, you a wonderful team that makes the difference in womens life.

My boyfriend and I are so happy that we found Early Options. I was shocked to see a positive result after taking a pregnancy test on New Year’s Eve, but even though it was a holiday, the team was quick to get back to me and schedule my appointment.The entire staff took the time to answer all of our questions, and my boyfriend was able to be with me the whole time. The procedure was not painless, but they gave me time to lie down and recover as well as a special heating pad. After the procedure, they gave us time to be alone together and did not rush us out of the clinic.After we left, I felt great and had no pain, and was able to walk around, grab food, and go to the Apple store.I did a lot of research before choosing Early Options, and I was very stressed by the thought of going to any other clinic and did not want to have an invasive surgical procedure. I am so grateful that we were able to come here, and feel so lucky to have had the experience that we had at Early Options, knowing that the whole team was 100% committed to making us feel safe, heard, and welcome the entire time that we were there.We did pay more money to come here than we would have if we had gone anywhere else, but we both agreed that it was worth it for the procedure, the privacy, and the treatment and attention that we received.I’m so thankful to the entire team and would 100% recommend Early Options to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation that I was in.

I got pregnant even though i had taken a plan b so i guess you can say this pregnancy was completely a surprise. I freaked out when I saw the test result and immediately researched good places to go for an abortion being that I am only 18. Early options popped up as one of the first results. I called them and immediately got a response from their receptionist. She was the nicest women I had ever spoken to. She did not make me feel guilty and scheduled an appointment for me the NEXT morning. When i walked in i was unfortunately by myself and she had told me “It’s okay we’ll be with you” I felt extremely comfortable. Dr.F was very straight forward and when she did the ultrasound she made me feel like it was all okay. The staff wasted no time in giving me the pills and walked me through the process step by step. They even let me have my boyfriend on the phone with me because he was at work which I loved. They sent me home with the correct instructions and in addition gave me a heating pad, tea, a poem, and some extra pads for bleeding. Probably the sweetest staff I’ve ever been with. The process was not unbearable pain. There was some tough cramps and nausea but i did not feel as if I wouldn’t be able to get through it. I called the office multiple times and they did not hesitate to answer any questions as well as assure me that everything will be fine and work out okay. I was only 2 weeks pregnant so the process was quick but i’m glad i had this staff with me along the way. I had my follow up today and they were the nicest to me. I tested negative for the pregnancy test and they sent a prescription of birth control to my pharmacy to pick up on the same day. TO EVERYONE THAT IS READING MY REVIEW: I am being 100% honest. You will not regret coming here. There are some nasty reviews but I went with my instinct and came her. I don’t regret it one bit. Thank you to the staff at Early Options. I appreciate everything you guys have done

Unfortunately I had an unplanned pregnancy that I was not ready to have! It doesn’t matter what your reasons may be and a lot of times some places will make you feel wrong or uncomfortable for wanting to have an abortion! Early Options is not one of those places! From the moment I called to the moment I walked out of the office I felt completely comfortable and confident I was in good hands! Bethany, Madeline and especially Dr. Fleischman are absolutely incredible women who took amazing care of me. They never made me feel guilty or wrong for making the decision I made. The office is warm, clean and inviting. The soft touch process which I recommend was very quick I wouldn’t say painless but definitely not as bad as other alternatives. I’m so happy I went to early options. I highly recommend going here. Grateful for incredible women helping other women in hard situations! Thank you Early Options!!!

From my first phone call to my second, and then, my third these beautiful women at Early Options were nothing less than patient, understanding, gentle, kind, and exceptionally empathetic. This decision I will admit is one I never imagined I would ever have to make. However, I found myself researching this path. I stumbled upon Early Options reviews and I called and spoke to a very pleasant young lady who went through the process and finance options without any pressure at all.  Once I finally made my decision to move forward they booked me an appointment immediately.This office is extremely private.  They set up appointments to where you are the only patient inside with overlapping time so there is no chance of rushing the patient. During my procedure, the nurse and Doctor were very warm, companionate, and informative.  I ended up becoming a bit emotional during my procedure but in return, these women gave me such comfort and reassurance, they answered any question that popped into my mind without making me feel uncomfortable or silly for asking. When my procedure was completed, the Doctor brought me this lovely ginger tea with snacks and allowed me to take as much time as I needed.  I have received several follow-up check-in calls to make sure Im feeling and doing alright.  Thank you, Early Options. Thank you for helping me through this tough decision with your kindness and understanding and for following up with me on my health.

What a wonderful staff and an amazing Dr.!!I was greeted by Martina and Maggie who made my husband and I feel right at home, they took great care of me. They offer little snacks like pretzels, crackers, water and ginger-ale.Maggie was very gentle in taking my blood pressure and prepping me, blood, etc. I cant say enough about Dr. F She was very warm, caring, kind and extremely gentle. I went in for the SofTouch procedure. It took exactly 3 minutes as I was only 6 weeks pregnant. I felt no pain, the most i felt was pressure as you would when getting a pap smear. My husband was able to be with me from start to finish. I left feeling great!! I bled lightly off and on for one week, like a period with normal cramping. Today marks one week exactly and I feel good. No cramping, no bleeding.At first I thought the price ($2100,) was crazy high but I must admit, it is a private practice, very clean and they treat you very well. I left feeling pleased. I never ever wrote a review before but because the way I was treated and how painless this procedure was I had to share with other woman.Thank you to the Dr. and staff for taking great care of me. May God Bless you allTo all the ladies out there please trust me, I was lost confused and scared.. Dont be, your in good hands!!

I struggle to find words to express my gratitude for my experience and every woman involved with Early Options from start to finish. If you find yourself reading these reviews, panicked, praying for help and guidance -- look no further. This is your sign. This is your answer. I sent them an e-mail on a Saturday night at 1am and was personally responded to by the next morning at 8am and I had an appointment scheduled 2 days later. Every human being involved was compassionate, understanding, loving, and kind pre-appointment, during procedure, and post-procedure. It was beyond worth the money to have this level of service, safety, and peace of mind and I am forever grateful. The procedure is very uncomfortable, but I felt so protected and taken care of and all discomfort and pain was gone within 2 days. They called to check in for several days after the procedure and are always available to answer any questions, no matter how small or silly they may be. I write this with tears in my eyes as I hope this review can change someones life the way Early Options changed mine. I will be forever grateful to my doctor and every woman who held my hand in this process. You all are truly changing the world with your work and I hope that you know that.

Very professional and pleasant. The staff is very gentle, caring and friendly. Would recommend this place when dealing with this tough situation. I’m not a typical person of writing any reviews but I felt for my first time doing a review for Dr Fleishman and their staff. I felt like I was in good hands.

Review №17

The past few months have been the most physically and mentally exhausting experience I’ve had yet. I found out I was pregnant in April and despite being in a committed relationship, was not ready to be a mother for a number of different reasons. Scared, panicked, embarrassed - I did what most woman do and tried to find a place in the NYC area to get this over with as quickly as possible and ended up at an abortion clinic. Six weeks post procedure and still no period. I took a test and it was positive. I don’t think I’ve ever felt lower, going through this once was enough, a second time was in-fathomable (especially back to back). At this point I was certain of nothing but the fact I couldn’t return to a clinic. I found Early Options, read the reviews, and immediately submitted the online form to get an appointment. It was Saturday morning when I did this and I had read that the office was closed on the weekends. Shortly after, I received an email from Dr. F herself on her day off attempting to calm me down and try to provide her with some additional facts before anyone jumped to conclusions that this was a new pregnancy. After a few back an fourths she gave me a call on Monday morning advising I come into the office that day because there were three reasons I had just had a positive test. (1) I had an ectopic pregnancy the first time which could be dangerous (2) i still had residual hcg levels but was no longer pregnant (3) small chance this was a new pregnancy. Dr. F stayed late that day to accommodate my schedule and performed a bloodtest and an ultrasound. Nothing was seen on the ultrasound, no conclusions. The blood test returned the next day with lowish levels of hcg that only ruled out the ectopic pregnancy, and I would need another test in 48 hours to see if the levels rise. Back I went for more blood and was treated so warmly by all of the women working. I felt so comfortable in the presence of these women and the concern they had about me and making sure I was ok, reassuring me that this is nothing to be ashamed of, was so warming. The next day I missed the call from the office with the results, so Dr. F text me to tell me that my hcg levels rose and this was a shocking new, early pregnancy. As crazy as it sounds, I felt calm with this news / outcome. I wasn’t scared to go through another abortion, I felt prepared and supported. The next morning I had breakfast and coffee (as this is allowed with the procedure performed at early options, not at an abortion clinic) and just being able to have my normal morning routine made me feel that much more comfortable about the day. I arrived at the office and was greeted by the same amazing women and again felt immediately comfortable. They took me to my large private room where I was able to prep and remain for my procedure. I was debriefed on aftercare, given the necessary medication for before and after, offered a beverage and talking about dogs. I was so relaxed. The procedure was about to begin and I was given a heating pad and a stress ball to help with the pressure / cramping. One of the nurses even stood up by head to talk and distract me from what was going on below. Within minutes it was over and felt not much different than a normal OBGYN checkup. The nurses and Dr. F stayed with me talking and making sure I was ok, brining me snacks, beverages, a new heating pad - anything I needed to make me comfortable for as long as I needed before getting ready to leave. All in all I think the words that sum up my experience at Early Options are the genuine concern they have for patients, the calming / comforting feeling all who work there provide, the support throughout my entire process, the privacy and the overall absence of any feeling of judgement for my decisions. When I left that abortion clinic a few months back I said to myself I would be embarassed to ever have to go back there. although I of course don’t want to have another abortion, I would never feel embarassed having to go back to Dr. F and the rest of the women at Early Options. Thank you!

This was not my first abortion, unfortunately. My first was 8 years ago at a clinic. And after that experience, when this happened again, I knew I could not go through that again. My OB-GYN was on vacation when I found out this time around. I did my own research and found Early Options. After looking at the videos of the SofTouch procedure and digging into Doctor Fleischman’s credentials, I thought “wow this is too good to be true!” I called to make an appointment as if I had just found the fountain of youth. The receptionist was so professional and understanding over the phone. Upon arriving to the office on the morning of my appointment, the nurse and doctor were the kindest souls with the most chill energy. Their ability to comfort you was not forced, it was authentic. The knowledge Dr. Fleischman has of the history of abortions and the process in general is very clear that this practice is her calling. The procedure itself felt like an OB appointment. I hate to say this: but they found a way to normalize abortion and strip the fear away. My doggie and fiancé came with me and even my pet was at ease!! In experiences such as these, it’s the little things that count too like the heating pad and sparkling water & Kind bars!! I can not recommend this highly enough. For a situation I wish I didn’t have to face, Dr. Fleischman made it feel routine!! I’m actually in awe and would recommend it to people both near and far. I actually got in the car right afterwards for a 6 hour drive to my parents house. So to say that I felt back to myself is an understatement. This feels long-winded but for anyone reading this, do not be afraid. This place is a sanctuary for anyone in this position. I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Fleischman!!

Had a very positive experience at Early Options. I went in nervous and not knowing what to expect. I was able to set up an appointment and did not have to suffer in a waiting room. Dr. Kang and Maggie were 5 star! They explained my options in great detail. I felt at ease and well informed. Dr. Kang and Maggie were very professional and warm. They made the process smooth and quick. The office was very private and clean. The Early Options practice should be at the top of your list! Thank you Dr. Kang and Maggie, you guys are awesome! A genuine 5 star review!!!

Truly have nothing negative to say about Early Options - the staff was so warm & welcoming, the office environment was calming and the overall experience was seamless. I felt comfortable the second I walked into the door which says a lot for me. I highly recommend them to anyone in this type of situation -- they exceed expectations.

The group of women that create this organization truly do exceed expectations, the environment is calming and welcoming. I felt comfortable given the circumstances and that says a lot for me. The process was private and confidential and although my husband was able to join me, he couldnt make it but the ladies made sure I had a support system throughout. I couldnt ask for a better setting, they made a difficult experience bearable.

Dr Fleischman and her staff were incredible. I came into the office nervous and I was still a little shocked to even be pregnant. After finding out I was pregnant I immediately started researching my options. And I am extremely grateful to have gone with this place. This decision was extremely hard for my boyfriend and I, but it was something that I knew was the best choice.From the moment we walked into the office, it was a calming environment. I was the only patient scheduled for that time slot and so there was a much needed amount of privacy for me. After coming in, I had several questions and fears but Dr Fleischman and her wonderful assistant answered all of them and made me feel safe and secure. And unlike every other place I researched, I was also allowed to bring my boyfriend with me. Having him be able to be there with me took away a lot of my fears.I decided to go with the Soft Touch option and honestly was expecting to feel pain throughout the process. But once the procedure began, I was shocked by how little I felt. All I felt was just a bit of pressure. And I almost didn’t even realize it because Dr Fleischman’s assistant and my boyfriend stood on either side of me while we had a conversation and before I knew it, it was all over. It literally lasted less than 2 minutes. Both my boyfriend and I were amazed by how quick it was. Afterwards, they gave me snacks and drinks and allowed me stay in the room for as long as I needed. I did feel a bit of cramping afterwards, but honestly, it was overall smoother than I could have ever imagined.I am extremely grateful to have found this place. When I found out I was pregnant, I assumed that having to terminate it would be an experience that would scar me forever. But getting to meet this lovely staff and doctor, it made this experience nothing of the sort. Once I left the office i was able to walk around and take the train with no difficulty. I do still feel a bit of cramping. But that is very normal for this kind of thing. And it feels similar to my period cramps. Overall, if this is something you are considering, I have only good things to say about Early Options and Dr. Fleischman. I thank you for the service, kindness, and for making me feel so much better about this situation.

Review №23

I cant express how wonderful the entire staff is at Early Options if you are someone considering abortion. My partner and I were unsure initially even to have an abortion and wanted as much information as we could possibly find. We also wanted to find an environment that made the termination if we decided to proceed, private and as comfortable as possible given the already very uncomfortable and stigmatizing circumstances. We called every facility that offered the abortion procedure in the New York City area and I guarantee you will find no better place than Early Options to meet and exceed all of your needs. From the first phone call with a warm and friendly tone at the front desk, the medical assistant who was so attentive, to the doctor who spent SO MUCH patient-physician face time with both my partner and I on multiple occasions, the sparkling and clean facility, and to the procedure itself- it couldnt have been more worth the money. In regards to the procedure, I barely could feel what was happening as the actual procedure was taking place, which was a huge deal to me given a previous abortion elsewhere I remember being very painful. At Early Options, my partner was allowed to be at all the appointments held my hand throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference to me. The entire time spent at Early Options was smooth and comfortable. Thank you so much for helping us and providing us with all the necessary information to make an informed decision we are comfortable with.

Review №25

I HIGHLY recommend Early Options--this place is amazing and full of wonderful caring people! When I first found out I was pregnant two weeks ago, I felt scared and worried because I knew I would have to end my pregnancy since I wasnt ready yet. I went online and started looking for a place where I could get an abortion safely and discreetly. At first, I was considering going to a PP and getting a medical abortion there before I found that Early Options not only offers the abortion pill, but they also have another method called Softouch. After I looked at the reviews and read about the procedure on their website, I was sure that I would receive the best care here.Once I got to the office, I was greeted and brought to my room where this really nice girl prepared me by taking my blood pressure (and other stuff) and went over some aftercare instructions with me. She was really helpful, answered all of my questions, and made me feel like I was in good hands. I was so nervous but the whole atmosphere at Early Options made me feel safe. When Dr. Fleischman came in, I was able to talk to her and she helped me decide if I wanted the abortion pill or Softouch by going over what to expect with each option. I wasnt sure which at first but then I decided to go with Softouch (Im so happy I picked this option I will explain why). Once I laid down for the procedure, Dr. Fleischman was really gentle with me and did a quick ultrasound. I felt a little bit of discomfort down there while I was being prepped but the procedure was over before I knew it. It was so quick I couldnt believe it! There was some cramping during and afterwards but Dr. Fleischmans assistant was there to comfort me. She reassured me and brought me some crackers, ginger ale, and a heat pack to help soothe my cramps. She was so sweet and caring...she helped me a lot. I was given some time to recover but the cramps subsided after 10-15 min and I was ready to go home. Im really happy I chose Softouch because the procedure was quick and the care I received at Early Options was amazing. It has been a week since my procedure and I feel great--no more pregnancy symptoms, minimal bleeding that lasted for a few days, and I was able to go back to studying the day after my procedure :)Thank you so much Dr. Fleischman! I am so grateful for the care that you and your assistants gave me!!!IN SUMMARY: This place really is the best. The whole visit took about an hour and half and the procedure was done within minutes. Everyone was so warm and compassionate and they really helped make a stressful event a lot less stressful. I value the experience I got here and I am so glad I came here instead of PP. Although I didnt bring someone with me, I really liked that they gave me the option of bringing someone with me to help me through this difficult experience. I hope that my experience helps other women find this place.

I was truly struggling with a pregnancy that was going to result in a miscarriage. I was in and out of my OBGYN & Emergency room over the past few weeks with the option of wait it out . Ive been in pain and the thought of still carrying a baby and going thru the motions of pregnancy that wasnt going to be was physically and emotionally wearing me down. I spoke with DR. Fleishman and the early options team whom were from the start extremely supportive & informative. Giving me all the information I needed to comfortably end my pregnancy instead of waiting to miscarry at home. Im relieved ! comfortable and happy to begin the process of starting a family again soon. thank you !

Review №27

I am sort of at a loss for words because I dont know where to begin. I know that the way I was feeling going through this was devastation, fear, shame, and all of the above. I didnt know where to go or what to do and I was just very lost. For anyone who is going through that, I will 100% without a doubt suggest using Early Options. Do not waste your time (like I did) trying to call or go anywhere else.My journey started at ParkMed because they take insurance, and could get me in early. I made an 8:30 apt. - 5 hours later, I am still not seen and in a hallway (still scared, ashamed, and exhausted) staring at a wall next to at least 8 other girls, also waiting. Not only was the procedure going to have to put me under which terrified me but the fact that no one checked on me or gave me any sort of wait time or any information on what would be going on, just blew my mind. The waiting room was full, hence why I was stuck in a hallway, and girls names were being called all day with no privacy or sense of respect. Tons of information was asked about me that (in my opinion) had nothing to do with why I was there, and made me EXTREMELY uncomfortable.Finally I had enough, after the 5 hours I (on a whim), decided to call Early Options because they were around the corner. As soon as the woman answered the phone I knew already I would be in better hands, she was so genuine and soft spoken and patient and just comforting. It was a complete miracle that they happened to be open and able to take me (which once I got there found out they dont usually take apts. on Weds they are usually closed but happened to be there and willing to help me). This fact alone blew my mind because I was so desperate, starving and thirsty due to the other place making me fast since the night before because I would have needed to go under.I get there and just had the biggest sense of relief. No one was in the waiting room, just the nurses- it smelt like lavender and the women were so accommodating and helpful. I didnt need to give any invasive information, they gave me snacks, soda, apple juice to help my fatigue and we started about 15 minutes later. I was done about 5 minutes after that. They dimmed the lights for me after to rest and were just a click away if I needed. They gave me all the information I needed and confirmation everything was done and went perfectly. I was given antibiotics there so there was no need to have to wait for a prescription, and most of all they spoke to me like a human being and not just another number.Long story short.. I understand it could be costly but at the end of the day if this is something that is important to you, and you want the best- most respectful- care possible, then use Early Options. Its a no brainer. This is a very intimate, emotional thing to go through, and should be treated with nothing less than the utmost sensitivity. They go above and beyond and honestly I would consider them friends for the way helped me through this and I dont just mean physically.I know this post is long but if you happen to be in the predicament I was, and read my whole experience, I really hope you take my advice.Best of luck.

I cant say enough positive things about my experience with Early Options (EO). When my husband and I unexpectedly found out I was pregnant, he was leaving the country for several weeks and we had a very short amount of time to make a choice and have the procedure. We are already parents to a 20-month old and it wasnt the right time or step for us to have another baby..I looked into Planned Parenthood (huge supporter of their marvelous work) but the wait was 1+ weeks at all clinics, which would be challenging with my husbands travel and our current (lack of) child care. I believe it was early morning when I submitted an online inquiry to EO and I very quickly received a call back from Dr. Fleischman herself. Her demeanor was warm, supportive, she gave me time on the phone and answered my questions. She seemed to be able to sense my emotions provided the most perfect responses for my needs. Truthfully it all happened very quickly for us and I was probably a bit matter of fact about it all, but Dr. Fleishman wasnt clinical or cold in response, she provided the exact care and reverence that felt appropriate, while also helping me move forward with my decision. She let me know she could see me as soon as that afternoon and was transparent with pricing and insurance when I asked.On arriving to the Dr office I was on my own as my husband was in the car with our napping child. Dr Fleischman immediately offered for him to come up, and bring her. She said I was the last appointment of the day and so we wouldnt disturb anyone else. She said they have had children in the office before and would be happy to help look after her so my husband could be with me for the procedure. I was truthfully quite nervous to be on my own so appreciated it so much.Dr Fleischman answered my questions, Soft Touch method vs pill, and described the procedure. She asked about my pregnancy symptoms and gave me some medication for my nausea and a OTC pain reliever. Martina was my nurse and she was kind, warm and also seemed to have Dr Fleischmans wonderful bedside manner. She was very caring. The preparations were efficient, but not rushed in any way. I opted for the Soft Touch method. It was pretty much exactly as was described to me, uncomfortable, but not excruciating and both Dr Fleischman and Martina kept me informed on how much longer there was to go (process was no more than 2 minutes) and offered words of encouragement. I appreciated how Dr Fleischman very quickly performed a sonogram to check how many weeks I was and then at the end to confirm I was no longer pregnant. Less than 5 seconds each time which, having been pregnant/had a baby could have been more upsetting if it was drawn out.The rest of the staff were wonderful and cared for our daughter during the procedure. We were probably in the room for 10 mins without her, it was truly that quick. They gave her some cookies and we could hear her giggling in the reception room.Following the procedure I was hustling to get up and going but Martina was supportive and encouraged me to take some time and rest. I think they would let you stay there as long as you wanted, with a warm pack to keep comfortable and various drink & snack options.Dr Fleishman also gave me the option of having IUD following the procedure which I did. After I got up and dressed she again asked the staff to provide some babysitting while she bought my husband back in to talk in detail about what we should expect from the IUD. We really appreciated that.The only flag I would note is the cost, it is expensive and a privilege to be able to afford the environment of EO. I wish every woman had the ability to choose a provider like Dr Fleischman.My healing process has been comfortable and straightforward, some cramping, limited bleeding. The Soft Touch method was minimally invasive and dispelled any built up fears or expectations of what an abortion really is. We should talk about this more and make choice less scary for women.

If I could give Early Options 10 stars I would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ … I am so fortunate to have found Dr Fleischman and team of incredible women with a level of genuine individualized care and special touch for this work 💖From the initial calls with Madeline, to my time in visit with Martina and Dr. Fleischman, I felt so supported, reassured and comfortable during a very difficult moment of my life. Words cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel for the sensitive approach and the kindness of Dr. Fleischman and the Early Options team.This is not your average clinic. When you arrive for an appointment, you are the only one attended to. And there are no overlapping appointments or other patients waiting around. The atmosphere is private, calm, peaceful, cozy, inviting and infused with plants, diffusers and symbolism of grounding and healing energy throughout.Dr Fleischman and team exuded a quality of attention and care from beginning to end. They walked me through the process step by step and was so patient in addressing my questions and concerns. I opted for the SofTouch procedure which was very quick (like getting a pap) but not painless. Martina brought me a heating pad, hot tea and held my hand, while Dr. F shared some incredible stories and humor which was a helpful distraction :) Even though I was on my own, I never felt alone for a moment with the women by my side every step of the way.I highly recommend this place!!! If you are looking for a safe, private, attentive and nurturing environment with gentle, patient, understanding and kind team of women who genuinely cares about women’s health … Visit Early Options. You will not regret coming here! I wish all my medical experiences had this quality and care.A special note: The price was a bit of a barrier at first and I eventually called around to other typic clinics and made an appointment at the cheapest location. Upon further research, I realized I did not want to be a number on the assembly line of women’s health and something urged me to call back Early Options and speak with them about payment plans. I was so glad I did ... Returning to Early Options was one of best decisions I have made.I was also blown away learning about the public service work of Dr. F. and her nonprofit organization with a platform to support women at large with access to affordable early abortion options. I really hope this will become available to more women throughout the U.S.I am extremely grateful for the Early Options Team. My deepest thanks and appreciation for all that you do! 💖

The clinic and the staff were very inviting and sensitive towards my situation. I had gone through a procedure before elsewhere, and the level of attention and consideration for the patient’s comfort at EO was unparalleled. I arrived by myself, and felt safe and emotionally supported throughout the entire process. It was very quick (no waiting time) and they let me take as long as I needed afterwards, offered me snacks, kind words, etc... The cost is absolutely worth it. Thank you EO team 💜💜

I moved to NYC to begin my new career. Im in my twenties and travel is a must when it comes to work. A baby has no place in my world. I have no one in NY and my situation well just not the best. I found Early Options on Google and decided to call the office. Madeline was so kind and patient on the phone. She answered all my questions and I had a bunch. I thought because I wasnt bringing anyone with me, I would feel alone but I was wrong. Dr Fleischman and her staff were amazing! These women are kind and compassionate. I left the office with my life back and I cant thank them enough!

My partner and I came to early options in May. I don’t have anything to compare our experience to but felt the she and I were well informed and cared for. Dr. Fleschmin was competent and comforting. There was no-one else in the office and I was allowed to be by my partners side through the whole process including during the procedure. Dr. Fleschmin, confirmed this was okay with my partner, which was appreciated. I definitely felt that my partners comfort was a priority here and I recommend early options to anyone else supporting a partner or friend in this situation.

Early options was the ONLY option when I found myself in a situation where I opted for termination. Dr. Fleischman was so helpful throughout the entire process. We never felt judged- only comfortable and informed. Well worth the money to feel that your body is in the best hands.

Review №36

I had an miscarriage of twins at 7 and 8 weeks of pregnancy. It was one of the most emotionally devastating experiences of my entire life. My doctor told me my choices were 1) Watch and wait (expectant management) 2) Medicated miscarriage that is filled with hours of pain and excessive bleeding or 3) a D and C. I have an extreme fear of anesthesia and I also dont like the idea of surgery to scrape the insides of my uterus. So I did my research. I knew there had to be another way and I found out about Manual Vacuum Aspiration. I did a quick Google search and found this clinic. The whole experience was superb. The receptionist made me feel so comfortable and answered all of my questions and the nurse Selena literally held my hand. And Dr. Fleischman was so reassuring. The procedure was painful yes, but nothing unbearable or that you cant breathe through and it was over in less than 5 minutes. Ill tell you that pain was nothing compared to the emotional pain of dealing with a miscarriage. Im just happy I can fully grieve now and move on and try again next month! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The day I found out I was pregnant I was with my friend and she told me about Early Options. She confided in me and told me this is where shed gone a few years back. She told me how comfortable they made her feel after dealing with judgement from her family :(She was right! The office was private and for me that was the most important thing. The staff was amazing. It was the perfect blend of professionalism and kindness. If you find yourself in this situation, I definitely recomment Early Options!

Review №38

Dr Fleischman and her team exude true compassion, knowledge and friendliness, and provide a vital service that I wish any person needing to end an early pregnancy could access. The office is calming and welcoming, and they clearly explain your options beforehand through a virtual visit. The procedure itself is quick and feels like one bad menstrual cramp plus pressure. There is no surgery (e.g. D&C) and therefore no scarring. I was in the park two hours later, able to give full energy and attention to my two, wonderful little kids. While I would rather not have needed this service, it was very much worth the price, and I feel fortunate to have met these women. Thank you all!

In this day and age, I dont understand how abortion isnt considered mainstream medical care. Why is there such a stigma surrounding abortion? All women should have access to an office like Early Options. You dont feel judged, you dont deal with protestors, women make up the staff, you dont even have to deal with a crowded waiting area! Its just you and the doctor. I also appreciated having my husband there from beginning to end. If youre in need of abortion services, this is definitely the place.

Top of the line care. I thoroughly researched the safest options before committing. Soft touch is the best option on the market. I had the procedure. It was much easier than I imaged it is a far more natural than other options and I am super strong healthy and could still have children should I decide to. I will have a healthy pregnancy and this is because I took proper care of myself and went to the right place. I can not tell you enough how grateful I am to this place for taking such good care of me. Thank you

Im writing this review as I hope that it will be informative to other women who are looking for a safe and affordable solution to what for many can be a sensitive and difficult situation. I researched several options available in New York City and when I contacted Early Options, I was met with evasive answers to my straight forward question of cost for the SofTouch abortion procedure. Needless back and forth emails followed as I repeatedly asked for a definitive answer on cost. I found the lack of transparency to be suspect and decided to read through all of the reviews until I found one that mentioned the cost of the procedure. I followed up with the clinic and was finally given a definitive answer (as the cost had changed since that review had been posted).Here is the response: The SofTouch procedure and the Abortion Pill is a flat fee of $2,100. We take a $300 deposit to secure your appointment.We can also provide an insurance form to submit to insurance companies but of course it depends on the insurer whether there will be any reimbursement.I have little doubt that Early Options provides stellar care for their patients, as the reviews attest. But I am not able to afford such care and would like to have been given the necessary information up front. I followed through with an appointment at Planned Parenthood Boro Hall in Brooklyn. I was very happy with the services provided. Registration was cool and perfunctory, but the nurse, counselor and doctor that I met with were exceptional- warm, concerned, informative and entirely non judgmental. My abortion at 7 weeks was 450 dollars based on my current income. I hope this helps. I wish all the best to those researching their options.

Coming to this practice was the best decision I made. Due to the nature of my visit- being pregnant and wanting a man abortion- I was extremely nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know how painful, fast, traumatic, or otherwise it would be.Early options was clean, professional, discrete and friendly. The nurse held my hand through the procedure. Yes, it is painful- but only for a minute. The doctor was quick and efficient. She was so patient with me. She was warm and kind. I truly felt so safe and cared for.Great staff, great doctor, and the best experience for the situation.

When I found out about this place there was NOT DOUBT I choose the right place to be at. Knowing that the situation maybe overwhelming and difficult for any women, the doctor and staff made the process as humane and kind as they could. The kindness in each and every soul in that clinic made me feel respected in any form. I recommend it to anyone who believes it has the right to choose what best for herself . Thanks to all of them from my heart.

I can not emphasize enough how caring and compassionate the woman in this office are. From the second you walk in the door you are cared for like you are family. I had the soft touch procedure done today and I did not want pain medicine or lidocaine. The procedure from start to finish took 2 minutes while I was talking on the phone with my friend.My friend was shocked she said it’s done? Seriously that was so quick! I cannot stress how gentle this procedure is it felt like I was getting my annual pap done. for anyone that is going through this please call Early Options they are truly amazing the cramps I won’t even say pain is so mild. I can’t thank them enough wonderful Dr. and amazing team.

If youre reading this and youre scared like I was, or feeling completely alone, and not knowing what to do, and trying to make what (for me at least was) the hardest decision of your life, Im here to first say - youre not alone, and second to say that you should go to Early Options. Youll have privacy, practitioners who will literally hold your hand and walk you through it, and quality health care that will leave you feeling safe and relieved. Im glad that SoftTouch at early options was available for me and before I left I even told my practitioner that I wish it was available for all women, because it really should be this discreet, as comfortable as possible, and with the respect and care each of us deserves. Seriously gracious that Early Options exist and this was my experience.

An unplanned pregnancy at my age was not on my TODO list, but there I was confronted with a positive pregnancy test! After the initial shock, I began my research and it didnt take long to find Early Options. I read so many of their reviews and decided to call. The woman on the phone was patient and helpful. She assured me and made me feel confident in my choice. When I got to the office everyone was warm and welcoming. Dr. Fleischman was extremely thorough, she answered all my questions. I chose the procedure and although it was crampy, it was quick. I left the office feeling more like myself and by the next day I was back to normal. Reviews were a huge part of my decision to come here ~ hopefully this helps someone else.

Review №51

My boyfriend and I recently went here after days of researching for a safe, natural, private, comforting, yet knowledgeable place to confirm our decision. A lot of things came into factor when choosing a place. Early options gave us an extraordinary experience! We were more than delighted and forever grateful to have had such an amazing experience in a situation like this. The staff are welcoming from the moment you walk in: from the receptionist, to the clinical assistant, to the doctor herself. They explain and inform you of your situation honestly and openly. They were able to differentiate the truth to us oppose to the mixture of information we’ve seen online. We were walked through everything and all of our questions were genuinely answered. In the midst of this hard, emotional decision they made us MORE than comfortable, along with being HAPPY about our decision while clearing up any confusing. We were originally against things in this nature but luckily we caught it extremely early before it was able to even form. The doctor explained and showed us which was even more comforting to know that it was as tiny as a poppy seed and literally just an egg that happened to be fertilized at the time. Nothing more nothing less. That eased the pain and soothed the array of emotions that arises with the controversy. The procedure was extremely fast, but intense in the moment which is about 90 seconds. The intensity went away within moments after everything was complete. You are allowed resting time, and you are constantly checked on and assured that you are okay in all aspects! You are also allowed to have your partner by your side and if your partner is absent the assistant is more than enough in comforting you throughout the process. She was my backbone! We recommend this place to any and everyone that are looking for a safe, more natural, private comforting and informative place to be able to openly discuss their situation and be analyzed for the best option without being judged. Situations like this are not the easiest decisions to make. You have to weigh out the pros and cons and make the best decision for everyone overall. Not everyone will agree with your decision which is what made this place even more special because it is super private! However, we are thankful to have had such a wonderful team on our side. Thank you Early Options!

Let me start out by saying this, if you are having any doubts about coming to Early Options, put that to rest. This should be THE place all women go to when they need or want to end a pregnancy. I am an extremely sensitive and anxious individual. As a married woman with one child already, I never imagined having to make this extremely difficult decision. From the initial encounter over the phone, I knew that this would be the right place for me. I am terrified of COVID-19 and I expressed that numerous times and they took my concerns into consideration and assured my safety. The initial video meeting with Dr. Fleischman put me and my husband at ease. She was sensitive, informative and understanding. She made us both feel heard and included, which is rare during this experience. Usually, the male in the scenario is shut out. We were given an appointment for the next day and upon arrival we were greeted by the doctor and the doctor alone. I was very confused. I felt fear, sadness, regret, confusion and was having a full blown panic attack. Dr. Fleischman was patient and gave me as much time as I needed to gather my thoughts. Once I was ready the doctor came over and talked to me and my husband. She eased me into the procedure because I was still so terrified but before I could even panic further, the procedure was complete. I couldnt believe it. There was no pain, no nausea just a few seconds of pressure and that was it! I have had pap smears that hurt more. After the procedure, I was very dizzy (I have an inner ear disorder so it isnt related to the procedure) and again, the doctor was patient and kind and gave us as much time as we needed. She offered beverages and snacks and anything else I could have needed. Not only is she extremely skilled at what she does, she is also sensitive and kind. When I left I felt a sense of relief. I know a few friends who have had abortions and their experiences made me sad for them, years later they still feel trauma etc. I wish every woman would use early options because this is the right way this procedure should be done. I am very grateful for all that they do.

Hi My name is Edan Rein and I have been a happy costumer at this facility for some years. The service is amazing and the method they use is quick and non surgical, not to mention the one on one treatment you receive from the moment you enter till the time you leave and even after that.I had such a positive experience that I felt compel to write a review so that other women who find them self in the same position as I have can have a true account of someone who went through it first hand. I took the time to read the reviews of others as well, and this next comment is to the person who took the time to go to somany clinics for some strange reason just to see who has the better service. I had the surgical abortion the first time when I was younger and it was nothing short of a nightmare. not because I had a moral issue with the choice I made, It was simply the way those huge clinics run and terminate the pregnancy that was the bad experience. tons and tons of woman hurled like cattle receiving a number and waiting for hours, After that you are put to sleep and of course it is a surgical procedure. When you are abruptly awoken you are told that they need the bed so its time for you to leave no matter what the condition is.The reason why it is important for me to share this is because I truly believe that the methods used should be changed to the more natural none surgical especially sincethe technology already exists.One last thing, I was going to use another name to write this review but after reading this one review who claims that the clinic writes its own review I decided to use my real name and email address. Its so important that we women know what are best and safest options for us.Thanks again to all the staff at early options!

Wow. There’s no words how amazing doctor F is. She is an angel. She is very motherly and makes you feel like you’re at a 5 star resort, being in the sitution you are in it is indeed very comforting.

I cannot recommend Early options enough if you are thinking of ending an early pregnancy. The team is supportive, informative, and empathetic. I felt this from the first phone call with Madeline to my in-office visit with Dr. Fleischman. The office was extremely intimate, Dr. Fleischman guided me through my options and I opted for the soft touch procedure. It took about 5 minutes. I was quite emotional after and Dr. Fleischman offered me snacks, comfort, and space, I never felt rushed. In another hour I was back to my day. I am truely grateful to the team at early options for providing an environment that allowed me to feel confident with a hard decision. This is the way all women should be able to experience a decision like this. Thank you!

Early Options gave me a calming and private experience during a very difficult decision. I felt so at ease between the nurse and the doctor. Both were readily available to ease all nerves and seemed to understand the difficult situation the women are in coming into the office. I also appreciated the privacy they offered. There is no advertising saying what building you are going into on the outside, and only womens health practice on the door. Once at the door, you pick up a phone to let them know you are there and they buzz you in. The only other people I saw were the workers. Even when you leave, after the procedure, they make sure no one else is out in the office to ensure your privacy. Overall, the staff made me and my partner feel so comfortable and ease with a decision and choice that was very difficult. I appreciate their professionalism and comfort.

I truly believe that Early Options is the absolute BEST place to deal with this tough and exhausting decision. My boyfriend and I became increasingly scared about the process of abortion as we called numerous clinics. These clinics rushed us over the phone to make a decision about which option we were going to choose. I was given a long to do list of how I needed to prepare pre-procedure and told blood tests were necessary as well. We were told this could take up to five hours and my boyfriend was not permitted to be by my side for any of it. We knew there had to be a better option, and there was. The minute we called Early Options we knew it was the place. The all female staff working there are remarkable as they make the entire experience as comfortable as possible and provide support no matter what. They were able to schedule us in a day after we called, a Saturday. We were told about the SofTouch option and knew that was the way for us to go. With this option, no to do list or blood tests were needed, the entire process took just two hours, and my boyfriend was able to be there with me the whole time. At first we did not think Early Options would be possible for us due to the price, but after explaining our situation, a discount was offered. The women of Early Options truly saved us. No longer did we feel alone, but apart of a community doing right by women. We are forever grateful for the doctors and staff that empowered us and made us feel safe. Thank you wonderful ladies from the bottom of our hearts.

I walked into this office full of anxiety and nerves, and a little bit ashamed of what I was about to do. It is obviously not an ideal situation to be in - but from the moment I walked into the office, the staff was absolutely incredible. They were so warm and welcoming that I was instantly put at ease. The doctor helped me understand the options I have and worked with me so I could make a decision that was best for me, which ended up being the medical route. The nurse, who was so wonderful and friendly, walked me through the steps numerous times to make sure I understood everything. I ended up having such a positive experience and I think it has to do with the staff at this facility going above and beyond for me. I am so grateful that they helped me navigate such a stressful experience and turn it into such a positive one. You can absolutely tell they have a passion for helping women, and I could never thank the doctor and staff enough for how much they helped me!

I could not be more grateful for the kindness and expertise of the women at Early Options. Dr. Fleischman and her staff took more than two hours to talk to me about my options and perform the procedure (her nurses held my hands and helped me with deep breathing exercises--the whole procedure only took 1-2 minutes). Afterward, they sat with me for a long time, helping me recover emotionally from the whole experience. I can genuinely say that this was the single most positive medical experience I have ever had--I wish all doctors visits were like this. Dr. Fleischman and her staff are the most extraordinary medical practitioners I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I could not possibly recommend this clinic more highly.

Review №64

In reviewing the google reviews of various abortion facilities, I noticed that this facility had extensive long winded reviews as opposed to others, almost as if the reviewers were prepped for a performance like a star witness is prepped in advance by his or her attorney.Therefore, I called and visited a few abortion centers to see if there was a difference in the way that i was treated at each one. Much to my surprise, everybody, except one, put their best foot forward. They were all, including this one, informative, kind, patient and considerate, although the individual at this facility seemed to be a little snooty. That did not make her bad, just snooty.So why the discrepancy between reviews and service.Why are there only long winded, eloquently written reviews for this facility and not for the others. Most of the positive reviews written for the others appear to be written by normal people with normal writing skills.The only conclusion that I can come to is that Harvard graduates usually have an extensive vocabulary and a great capacity for a turn of phrase. As a rule, they write a lot, They write well and I surmise that they love to see their efforts on display.That doesnt make them better doctors, especially when it comes to abortion which requires not academic brilliance but specific technical skills.Let it also be noted that some of the negative reviews written for other facilities are also exceptionally well written, well beyond what you would expect from the average person. Remember, anybody can write a review, whether it is positive or negative, especially if they have a self-interest in the project.I would be equally comfortable in four out of the five facilities that i reviewed.

Review №65

Hands down best option available for terminating a pregnancy. Its a staff of all women, everyone is incredibly kind from the first call to the actual procedure, the procedure is normalized, absolutely no judgment, and the flat fee of $1800 covers everything. I recommend the SofTouch procedure which is very minimal discomfort (might feel like slight cramping, or, in my experience, no pain) and it was over in 2 minutes for me. Slight bleeding after the procedure, and then youre done. Throughout every step of the way you are taken care of and guided. And, absolute privacy. You will not be in a waiting room with other people and you will not run into anyone on your way out. So, for those who value their privacy and dont want the anxiety of running into someone familiar, this is a huge plus. Hope this helps anyone considering where to go.

As soon as I entered the office, I was greeted with an atmosphere of support. I initially went in just for an ultrasound, unsure if I wanted to go through with an actual procedure. Just a few minutes with the doctor and I made my decision; she made me extremely comfortable, worked quickly and offered to discuss options and possibilities. Upon her arrival in the room however, I knew the decision I needed to make. Everyone at the office made me feel 100% at home, from the doctor to the office manager. My mother was in the room during my procedure and she was able to hold my hand throughout the procedure. The support in the room helped me tremendously in getting through the emotional experience and I was given time for a quick respite afterwards. Other than the forewarned cramping and spotting, I havent experienced anything abnormal and am both relieved and grateful places like Early Options exist in providing support for women and rights over our bodies.

Review №72

I am writing this review for a few different reasons. First, as someone who found Early Options through google and citysearch reviews, I want to address an important consideration. If youre like me, you are probably skeptical of the many, many positive reviews. I was. Regardless, I felt it was my best option for a private and uncomplicated abortion. I am now on the other side of the process and can honestly say that the website information and reviews by and large are accurate and true.My husband and I were never expecting to have to make this decision. Because this was the most difficult thing Ive ever done, Im having a hard time describing the experience positively. However, the manual aspiration procedure, as described, was very quick and only slightly uncomfortable. The nurse was extremely calm and reassuring. The doctor answered my (few) questions as I was already pretty prepared. After the procedure was done (truly less than 5 minutes), my husband and I were a bit emotional. We were comforted and offered tea, snacks and as much time as we needed. While we have resolved to never do this again, I am thankful that I was able to afford THIS type of care in THIS setting as opposed to the many other options out there.

From the very first phone call, it was a pleasure speaking with a staff member. They were informative and super friendly. I found myself in a situation for the first time and was instantly hit with a sense of overwhelming confusion and nervousness. I did not know what to think; so many emotions running through me. Upon speaking with Haley and Juliette, I felt sympathy from people I have never met. Going into the office, I was greeted, remembered, and welcomed. Meeting Dr. Fleischman was a humbling experience. She was supportive, warming, non judgmental, and most importantly COMPASSIONATE! Honestly, I didn’t realize how fast the procedure was and you do not need to be put to sleep. The process was literally done in two minutes; you do experience an intense cramping for about five minutes and then it’s gone. I was back to normal within minutes. It’s amazing how quickly it passed. When you are showed support and see the experience put into play, it feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Under the circumstances, I have to say I made the best choice by coming here. All of you are wonderful people and thank you once again from the bottom of my heart.

First off as a man, you never want to put yourself or your girl friend, wife, etc. in this kind of situation. Having your partner pregnant when you both least expect it can be a huge emotional weight whether it is because of financial reasons, mentally not ready, etc. Overall, it is not fun to be part of this situation but Early Options could not have made this difficult situation more comforting or establish a clean friendly environment for me and my girl friend. It is all private; no packed lobbies. The office is big enough for 1 patient at a time to ensure 100% privacy unlike at other abortion clinics. The procedure was simple and safe and took just over 1 minute to complete. Definitely worth the extra $$.

I was beyond impressed with Dr. Fleischman and the entire Early Options office and staff and would highly recommended them to anyone seeking pregnancy termination options. I traveled from Los Angeles to see Dr. Fleischman because after hours of research, I felt strongly that non-surgical MVA made the most sense in my early stage of pregnancy. To start, they do a wonderful job of ensuring your privacy throughout the visit; I never crossed paths with another patient and I really appreciated the care and attention they put toward patient privacy. I was greeted by the lovely Zoey at the front desk before meeting the equally lovely Selena, who provided emotional support during my procedure. Dr. Fleischman does an extraordinary job of humanizing the process and made me feel at such ease. You can read on the Early Options website that this is her life’s work and her passion for helping women during these vulnerable, sometimes highly emotional visits is immediately apparent. It’s easy to trust in her and her expertise. The procedure itself starts like a Pap. For me, the last minute or so was intense, but I imagine the discomfort varies for everyone. Overall, it was quite fast and recovery felt seamless. As soon as the procedure was over, I bounced back to normal almost immediately, just with some cramping. Dr. Fleischman and Selena both thoroughly explained the after-care process, so that I know exactly what to expect. They made sure I was comfortable the whole time and did not rush me out following — instead, they assured me I could take as much time as I needed to feel stable before leaving. I was quite uncertain and fearful walking into their office that morning, but ultimately I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much!

I honestly never thought I’d be in this position. I spent days researching but when I came across Early Options I immediately felt different. I called a few times and Madeline was very patient with me. Her voice was so comforting. The office was really private and the staff was so supportive and friendly. Dr. Fleischman. sat with us and answered all of our questions. She was kind and made us feel secure in our decision. I’m eternally grateful to these woman for making such a tough situation bearable.

Early options is a clean, quiet and very private place to learn about all your options when you find out about an unplanned pregnancy. After doing some research on their website, i called promptly at 7 am the new morning and was given all information you would need or want when making that first intimidating call. The call was informative enough where I didnt feel pressure to ask tough questions and compassionate enough where I felt comfortable sharing personal details. I made the soonest appointment possible and was relieved and comforted by the extreme measures taken to protect my privacy. You dont run into any other patients, by standers or anyone for that matter. I received sound advice regarding all my options and decided I was not ready to be pregnant and terminate. I had the option to begin the process immediately or come back at later time. I took a few days and came back to start the pills. I took one pill orally in the office and was carefully instructed by several professionals on how to continue with the second round of medication at home. I was sent home with a thoughtful package containing the medication, precise instructions, an on call doctor contact and very sweet/necessary things such as sanitary napkins, a chuck for my bed, cookies and chamomile tea. I left the office with no symptoms or side effects and knew the second round of medicine would be done in the privacy of my own home. I followed the instructions carefully and felt very comfortable taking the medicine at home. I took the second round at 1pm on Wednesday and made it to thanksgiving dinner at my parents the following evening with no issues. Staying on top of the pain meds is key, however I am used to doing this during my regular period cramps. I returned the following Tuesday for a follow up to confirm everything was okay. With each visit, the staff was more welcoming and friendly. This is truly a safe space for women and men, as my bf joined me for my final visit. Im very happyWith the service provided and sound with my decision to not be parent just yet. I am truly grateful for the service and compassion that was lent to me during a trying time.

Going here was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you were skeptical, just letting you know that the positive reviews are real. As soon as I stepped inside I noticed it was such a warm and welcoming environment. From the receptionists, to the nurses, to the doctor, every single one of these ladies were extremely kind. Ask them anything! They answered all of my questions without judgement and made my boyfriend and I feel so comfortable. The nurses offered me a stress ball and even went and got my bf one too when he asked. They talk to you throughout the entire procedure that lasted only 3 mins! I felt like I was having a casual conversation with my friends and before I knew it, it was over. It was so quick and not painful at all. A little bit of cramping that lasted a few seconds. I was so relieved and happy I came to this place. The rooms smell so good and they’re nice and clean. There’s even candy in each one! The doctor was so nice and kind to me she even hugged me at the end. I wouldn’t have asked for a better place to get this done. The money is worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My dear friend had an appointment here a couple of weeks back and I went along for support. From the time they answered our first exploratory phone call to the time we walked out of the office, everyone was kind, compassionate, non-judgmental and extremely informative. The office is bright and lovely, with an all-female staff. I was able to go in with her for the entire appointment from check-in to the aspiration procedure. We spoke at length with the nurse and Dr. Fleischman, who were happy to answer all our questions and spoke to us in great detail about what to expect. The aspiration procedure took less than 5 minutes and she was awake and alert the entire time. Following, there was some light cramping and bleeding, but that’s all. She went to work later that afternoon without any problem whatsoever.We were both deeply impressed with the services offered at Early Options. In a less than ideal situation, they provided absolutely ideal service. The aspiration procedure was done in an examination room, not in an operating room. You’re not put to sleep, and a friend/loved one gets to hold your hand throughout. If you are looking for a compassionate, safe environment in which to handle your family planning needs, you need to look no further. All the stellar reviews are true. They actually care about their patients and their needs. And it makes all the difference.

Review №81

So much false advertising about this place! I am pro choice and, unfortunately, already experienced another abortion, under anesthesia, resulting in zero physical pain.Early Options procedure is highly painful and traumatizing. You feel like theyre eviscerating you with no sedation and no anesthesia. You feel like going to a butcher. You feel youre almost dying. I still have nightmares about the totally unexpected and highly intense pain during the soft touch. There is nothing soft about this method. Even the name is outrageous.The discomfort continued for 3 weeks. Nightmares are still troubling my sleep 4 months later. I was totally misled by a bunch of fake reviews. I only saw 5 star reviews online. I should have known better.I feel they played with my health. Dont be fooled or you will be scarred for life! Abortions are usually not an easy thing to do. But here we are not talking about the mental aspect, we are talking about the physical pain: why would you choose to suffer so much?

I could not say enough wonderful things about the service, compassion and treatment I recieved at Early Options. The non-judging staff was there to assuage my every concern and made me feel comfortable and in a safe space. They were attentive, made sure that I wasnt waiting long, and completely thorough on educating me on what I was going to experience and what I should expect. They ensured my privacy, which was important to me, and made me feel so cared for, not just another patient on the list. I am extremely grateful for the entire team at Early Options for adding warmth and making a difficult process easier for me.

The women in this office are angels. This was one of the hardest days of my life and I can’t express how grateful I was that I walked into a space where I felt totally supported and genuinely cared for every step of the way. The nurse Anna was honestly the kindest person. The procedure was not physically pleasant—I always have had a sensitive stomach and I did get nauseous and throw up after the procedure and was pretty strongly crampy during the procedure and for about 10 minutes after. That being said, it was totally bearable and it was just as they explained to me it would be. My boyfriend was able to stay with me the whole time and they were just as lovely to him as they were to me. There were no surprises during the procedure and they rubbed my back and gave me ginger ale afterwards. That afternoon I felt completely back to normal. Any woman making this tough decision should go to Early Options, I left feeling at peace and supported with my decision.

Couldnt even get past the point of making an appt because I Kept receiving incorrect information. Madeline was extremely combative over the phone which was highly unprofessional giving the nature of my situation. I come from a place with poor infrastructure, and a crumbling economy. And Id rather fly there to receive the treatment and bedside manner I deserve as an American citizen. Shame on you! New york and New Jersey are the worst places to seek medical attention or to have any procedure done. Everyone here thinks their a character in Good Fellas. Disgusting. I flew out of state last minute to deliver my daughter. Thats how bad it is here. Or at least thats my exeperience as a young black woman with medical professionals. #NotJustAnotherNumber

Im so grateful to have found Early Options. Dr. Fleischman and her team are a group of absolutely incredible women. From the moment I walked in I was made to feel comfortable and was greeted with nothing but warmth and understanding. I was shown into a private room where both the nurse and the doctor listened to my concerns and explained the procedure. The actual soft touch procedure lasted roughly 2 minutes. There was slight cramping, but nothing out of the ordinary- more like normal period cramps. I rested for a few minutes afterwards and was able to walk out 15 minutes later to enjoy the rest of my day. My entire visit took about an hour and a half, and I left feeling completely respected. I appreciate everything that the doctor and staff did for me. There should definitely be more establishments like Early options for women everywhere. We deserve it.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Early Options! After years of trying with no success- I gave up on the idea that I was going to have any children. Low and behold at the age of 42 yrs young- I gave birth to my first child 8 months ago. My partner and I were planning to try to have another in near future, but wanted to wait until our son was at least a year and 1/2. Well surprisingly I just found out I was pregnant again. I knew I was not ready again. I really questioned myself- What if this is the last time for me especially at my age? What if? What if? What if? I knew in my heart of hearts what the answer was. I knew right away after searching which doctors office I was going to choose. Early options. Madeline was so gracious and caring on the phone and made me feel comfortable immediately. I was very early in my pregnancy and she made and appointment for me the following morning for a blood test. Upon arriving the office was a very convenient location, and a beautiful office. I was greeted by a welcoming and smiling Juliette who was just so sweet. I was put in a private room right away with no other patients visible. Dr. Fleischman was non judgemental and very empathetic to my needs. She performed an ultrasound and explained how I very early I was and said whatever choice I made she supported it. Dr. Fleicshman offered to put me on their schedule and I decided to stay so I would not have to debate about my decision and also because we were traveling far for the holidays. The procedure for myself was painless. I was quite surpised that I honestly felt nothing and it was over so quickly. I have had an MVA at a clinic when I was 30 and the experience was the complete opposite of what I experienced. I cannot say how wonderful all of the women are here and how lucky we are to have available services like this one. Also to my clinical assistant who was just so attentive to my needs and so sweet (I so sorry I forgot your name☹) DO NOT hesitate contacting this office if you are in a similar situation or even just have questions- this is the place to go!

Navigating this process is mind-numbingly difficult. But the staff at Early Options does everything to make it easier. From the first emails through the whole appointment and with the follow-ups, I felt that my girlfriend was in the best possible hands. As a guy its hard to know what to do, but Dr. Fleischman and her staff will make you feel comfortable being a part of it. There is a section on the website for men that included a helpful guide for men that answered so many questions. When we walked in, there was ZERO judgment and a complete sense of privacy. We didnt see anyone but the staff. I was able to be next to my girlfriend during the whole procedure. They answered every question we had. If you are concerned about being in the room during it, you dont have to worry. Everything is covered, but you can be right next to her. They really went to great lengths to make sure she was ok and as comfortable as possible. Nothing felt rushed or made you think that you were just another appointment. My girlfriend has said many times that she doesnt feel like she could have gone anywhere else. I dont understand why every clinic doesnt operate like Early Options. Unplanned pregnancy is really difficult for everyone, but at least here you know that she will be taken care of properly and you can be there to support her.

Review №88

This is never an easy decision to make. I struggled a lot emotionally and physically to make this decision after a careful consideration with my partner. While researching about the process of abortion, I was very scared about the traditional procedure as well as the experience of getting XX. I did a lot of research and find this new technology at early options. Although the reviews online seem to be “too good to be true”, I decide to give it a try due to the credibility of Dr. F and the level of privacy that this clinic offered. Upon my arrival, I was still nervous. The staff working here are extremely nice and they tried their best to make me feel comfortable. Actually, the whole procedure was not as hard as I though and it was really the same as advertised. It felt like doing a pap test at the beginning and then followed with a minute long softouch procedure. I closed my eyes and grabbed my partner’s arm. The doctor and the staff supported me and helped me practice deep breath to ease my nerve. I wasn’t suffered from this procedure. I just felt very tired and sleepy. After the procedure, the doctors did an ultrasound to check everything is ok. It worked well. I’m surprised that I recovered so quickly - about 40 minutes. The level of pain is manageable - like a bad period cramping and it didn’t last long. I feel ok after walking out the clinic. I am very grateful to find this place and I highly recommend this technology as well as the service this clinic provided.

In addition to my previous honest review in quotations below. It seems that my review is being questioned as if its fake. Let me describe the office to prove that I was there with my partner. The office is basically an apartment transitioned into a medical office. Its very clean and neat. You walk in and there is a small front desk to the left straight ahead. The rooms where the painful SoftTouch procedure that my partner endured are to the right down the hall at the end. While walking down the hall youll observe a room to the left. There are two rooms at the end of the hall that I viewed. My partner and I were in the room to the left after walking all the way to the end of the short hall.There are two chairs in the room and the procedure table is in the middle of the room. If youre laying on the procedure table the sink will be to your right. The owner states that Early Options appreciate being awake and being connected to what is happening with their bodies which is completely misleading because it is very traumatizing to be awake and witness a pregnancy termination like this. My partner has a high tolerance for pain and I held her as she went through two rounds of excruciating pain, the first is round of pain with the SoftTouch method is when the Dr opens the women up and the second round of pain is the pull and extraction. You (owner) cannot discredit my review because it doesnt provide the 5 star reviews which are questionable. I was in that office with my partner and provided a full description of the office all the way into the procedure room which cannot be refuted. Im Pro Choice and I recommend going elsewhere for a pregnancy termination, Early Options is NOT the place to go..I would NOT recommend! STAY AWAY! Im pro choice and my partner had a termination there and she experienced horrific pain which was more than the slight discomfort we were told. Its not a Soft Touch at all. I dont recommend being awake for a painful termination at this place, its highly traumatizing. Females sedation or full anesthesia will reduce being traumatized.

I hope that nobody is ever faced with the situation I had but if you are, there is not a question that early options is for you.After suffering a missed miscarriage ( the pregnancy wasnt viable but my body hadnt yet caught up) which is cruel enough, the idea of waiting for my body to do its job, which could take weeks, was even more unbearable. Desperate, I called my OB/GYN to find a solution. He told me about early options. I called at 9:00 AM and was able to get an appointment at 10:30 AM. When I got to Early Options, the nurse hugged me since I had been crying when I made the appointment. I knew I was in the right place. Dr. Fleischman is truly a remarkable human being, physician and advocate. I feel so lucky that I met her during this harrowing ordeal. Dr. Fleischman explained the softouch procedure ( which I had never heard of before that moment) and explained why it was the best choice for me. Not only did the procedure barely hurt, it offered me the mental closure I needed to help me move past what happened to me.I have not been in any physical pain since the procedure, and my pregnancy symptoms are gone. I cant imagine having deal with any physical pain in addition to the mental anguish that has been plaguing me since this began.Thank you early options for giving me the choice to move on with my life and close this painful chapter. I am forever grateful to you and your team.

I am a 42 year old and found myself in a very difficult situation a few weeks ago. Being clear bout my options was the first step when facing my decision. As usual, Google showed to be a great source of information. Many sites showed up during my search and I thoroughly reviewed many of them. As a woman, Early Options attracted me because of their presentation, contents, and friendly approach. As a trained medical doctor, Early Options gave me the information I needed. Meeting the staff was a great experience, since my very first call. The experience was fast, easy and extremely well executed. I also want to say that I felt supported each step of the journey and I hate to share that I came to Dr. Fleischmans office by myself. I have written this review as an opportunity to show my support now and in the future to this office, which is more than a place offering a quick way to solve an issue.

It was a very calming experience, the staff was absolutely amazing! Worth ever last dollar. When it comes to your body, and a sensitive matter like ending a pregnancy, it is necessary that you pick the best, and Early Options was truly the best decision I made. I walked out with very minimal pain, and on a mental level they truly have a warm, and caring environment. I recommend it to any woman who is faced with an unplanned pregnancy. Thank You Dr. Joan Fleischman!

More women need to know about the options available to them. I was beyond pleased with my experience here. The staff were extremely welcoming and comforting. In a time like this thats just what you need. Very professional yet I felt as if I knew them forever. From the start they respect your privacy. You do not have to sit in a waiting room packed with other women who are deciding to do the same thing, who are pregnant, kids running around etc. You have the entire office to yourself with an all women compassionate staff. The doctor is very supportive and the nurses are extremely caring. The procedure itself is super quick from start to finish. The pain you feel for a minute is so worth the before and after care given. Afterwards I was able to get right up and walk out to continue my day. I am not sure why anyone would want to do any other procedure. They are so invasive and unhealthy. If any women were in the position I was currently in I would recommend this office in a heart beat! I highly, highly recommend this office and procedure and every women should know this place is here. I have heard horror stories from other women and this is already a terribly hard decision- go where you are treated properly!I never ever take the time out to review anything or to air my business publicly but I had to with this because like I have said, more women need to know this is available and need a great place to go. Amazing office and I am so thankful for you all

🙏🏼 Im so thankful that I found Early Options. I would like to start with thanking Madeline for all of her help. Answering my emails and booking me an appointment so quickly. She took her time explaining the options and also provided me with a discount form... WHICH HELPED ME ALOT! As soon I walked in I was greeted with such professionalism and kindness (Thank you Anna).Upon meeting Dr. Fleischman I could see the compassion, trust, genuine love in her face and no judgement. This was very Important to me since I had an abortion several years ago and that experience was horrible. I felt judged as soon as I walked in. The waiting time was very long, the atmosphere felt COLD (lonely) and I also shared a room with several other young ladies but with early options I had the opposite.Haley was another amazing person that helped me a lot ! I was extremely nervous and scared but she made what is normally a very scary and uncomfortable situation, NOT as scary. She not only answered all my questions but she also held my hand through the whole procedure and spoke to me as a friend not a patient.THANK YOUEarly Options

I cannot thank them enough for everything they did. I came here and promised I would write a review because I actually thought these people were amazing. I didnt feel right not letting other people who were in my situation know how wonderful they are here. I came alone to get an abortion and I was treated kindly, with respect and one of the women held my hand the entire time. It made the would be traumatic experience easy. Thank you so much. I owe you guys everything.

Making this decision is never an easy one but after doing some googling and finding Early Options it made the experience so pleasant considering the situation. From when I first called I got such a good vibe that I chose the right place, The staff of all women are extremely friendly and supportive, they truly made me feel comfortable and safe in moving forward with my decision. The doctor was equally as wonderful by answering all my questions and really being attentive and kind through the whole process which is very quick, I chose the softouch and there was definitely some slight pain and discomfort but it’s very brief and afterwards I took a little time to recover and relax then I was able to leave and go on with my day. The privacy that Early Options provides is also something I really felt was special and important at a time like this, I never once saw another woman in there (even though there were others) or anyone in the waiting room, I had a nice comfortable room where I was able to just have peace. My boyfriend accompanied me but I felt better with him nearby and not in there with me so the assistant was there with me the whole time and she was sweet and funny and it made me feel like I was there with a good friend. Overall this made a negative situation into a more positive one and I would highly recommend this office for anyone going through this difficult time.

Review №97

The women that run this place are absolute angels. From the receptionist to the medical staff. They understand how difficult of a decision this is and they are there to listen and calm your nerves from the moment you arrive. The privacy and genuine care they display are so comforting. They walk you through every step of the way and make the entire process as comfortable as it can be. The nurse, Francesca, was so understanding and soothing during the process. She was there for me every step of the way and stood by my side. They even allow a companion with you, which is completely unheard of. I am beyond grateful for that! Dr. Fleischman is a compassionate doctor, woman and person. She took the time to speak with me before and after the Softouch procedure. I don’t think this review could truly explain how wonderful and caring she is. Although the procedure was a few minutes of pain with bad cramping, it subsided quickly after. I felt very panicky after, and the nurse was there immediately with an ice pack, and drinks. I left a heating pad on the entire time which helped tremendously. They allowed me all the time I needed, but I was there a total of 1.5 hours. Although I feel overwhelmed with emotions, I can’t say enough positive comments about all the women that work here. Again, true angels. Thank you.Also, I would ignore any random poor reviews, those come after an article was posted about this practice in a magazine. Completely false reviews! The positive reviews were what helped me tremendously in choosing this center and they are completely accurate.

I went yesterday and granted Ive never experienced a different setting but from what I herd every other abortion option seemed scary and painful. The Softouch was literally that, a slight pinch a few cramps, and it was over in 3 minutes. My best friend was with me the the whole time. When it was over I felt relieved and most of all in control of my body. The waiting room was empty from beginning to end I saw no one but the doctor and assistant. They were there for me I was able to ask any questions I needed, which wasnt many since I researched the whole week prior. Please if youre thinking about getting an abortion choose Early Options it was all around a great experience.

Review №99

I know that one of the reviews described how painful the procedure was...But this was TOTALLY NOT the case at all. Super kind staff that made me feel comfortable and the procedure took 3 minutes at MOST. I thought we were just getting started but I was surprised to hear that we were actually done. I dont have a high pain threshold and I would liken it to a Pap smear followed by a couple minutes of period cramps. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Couldnt say enough great things about this practice !!!

Dr. Fleischman and her staff were MORE than welcoming, warm and generous with their accommodations. My S.O. and I could not be more grateful to have chosen to go through the Soft Touch experience with such a great team!The Soft Touch termination is EXACTLY as described. It is not completely comfortable while being performed, but that should be expected with any procedure. The termination only took about 5 minutes! The cramping did hit hard for the first 10 minutes, but within the same half hour, you are comfortable enough to return to the hussle and bussle of your day.Being curious, we asked Dr. Fleischman if she could show us the extraction, in which she was very candid in presenting and explaining everything thoroughly. We happen to only be about 4 weeks in, but the termination is NOTHING like you see on the internet. Just a minuscule cluster of tissue/cells.We felt compelled to leave this review in hopes that other patients find comfort in their decision. Again, Dr. Fleishman and her staff truly care! If you are seeking excellent treatment, Early Options is a non-judgement, empathetic team that genuinely has your best interest at heart!
