Planned Parenthood - Cedar Rapids Health Center - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

it breaks my heart that heartless fanatics caused this place to shut down. I needed an appointment today for a papsmear since I am a few years past due. I have some female issues that I needed to see a doctor for that planned parenthood used to be my go to provider for since they offered FREE care for low income people. Now I am without healthcare. If i die from cancer please let Reynolds know it is on her.

I’ve never had issues with planned parenthood. They’re always kind and compassionate. They also make sure that you are aware that your body is your own and you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to. For someone who did not have a choice in their health care growing up, this provides so much relief. 100% will always recommend them and point people their way.

Nurses and doctors at Planned Parenthood won't judge you, and treat teenagers with respect as if they are adults.

I'm 17 and I was treated like I was competent (not at all treated like a child, which I've found my family doctor often does). They looked me in the eyes and were very professional. They were very confidential: I could check a box on one of the forms I filled out to make sure my information stayed confidential from my parents even though I'm a minor, and I was asked some personal information to be sure I was who I said I was. The forms were also very easy to understand and straightforward, so anyone could fill them out easily, which I liked.

The doctor and nurse I talked to were very respectful, and it seemed like they actually cared and wanted me to get the best care possible. I never once felt like I was being judged, which was something I was nervous about before I went in. They asked me a lot basic protocol questions, but they also joked with me and created a very laid-back atmosphere.

The nurse was young and took my vitals very thoroughly. I've noticed my family doctor (who is much older) tends to cut corners to save time since they've been doing it for years, and reads vitals (blood pressure especially) in ways that would be impossible to take an accurate reading. The nurse at Planned Parenthood, because she was younger, was not only more friendly with me but read my vitals more accurately.

I felt comfortable even though I generally wouldn't be comfortable in that situation (I have social anxiety and it was my first time getting birth control). I didn't know what I wanted for birth control, and they gave me a huge range of options and told me the effectiveness of each, and what I'd might want based on my situation. I felt like I had all the answers, and being taken seriously really helped.

I've been here several times, both for annual exams and for long-term birth control insertion (I use the implant). The staff have always been professional, warm, and helpful. Planned Parenthood is the *only* place I've ever been that believes me when I say I'm a small person internally and doesn't use the "has had 6 kids" speculum for the annual exam. I would never go anywhere else for my reproductive health care.

I've had the most pleasant experience at planned parenthood. No feeling of judgement whatsoever, kindest staff I've met, and COMPLETELY confidential. I won't go anywhere else.

So happy they are closed. People who are involved in sacrificing of children should be ashamed of themselves. It's not healthcare.
