Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas

Today is December 291. I realized (extremely last minute) that I never used my free «Women’s Wellness» appointment… and my current insurance policy expires in 2 days, at the end of this year.
Since I haven’t been to a doctor at all this year (and have been paying my dues in full every month!), I began the desperate search for an OB-​GYN with a same-​day appointment.
I called 50 different gynecologists and nobody had anything available until after the new year.
Enter our story’s hero (ine): Planned Parenthood!
The Lewisville office had one appointment available today for 1pm which I happily booked online. I arrived at 12:30pm, completed some basic paperwork (YES they take insurance now!), and was called in around 12:50pm.
I have NEVER in my ENTIRE life been called in EARLY for a doctor’s appointment… Huge bonus points for PP!
The staff was friendly, professional, and extremely competent. The doctor who I saw was extremely caring, non-​judgmental, warm, informative, and kind. I felt seen, cared for, and very well taken care of. Who knew that going to your gyno could actually be a pleasant experience?
I gave a urine sample and had a pap smear, pelvic exam, and breast examination done by the doctor. I was told that I’ll get my lab results in 3 – 5 days and apparently my cervix looks healthy and happy (whoo hoo!).
Ladies, it’s so important to take care of your physical, sexual, and reproductive health. Planned Parenthood is SUCH a valuable service as they provide important information about birth control options, safe sex, and even information about loving/​healthy vs. harmful/​abuse relationships. Regardless of your political beliefs or affiliations, I think we can all agree that female health is important and that it is essential to take care of ourselves and our bodies.
I highly recommend this clean, professional, and well-​run facility and will be back for any sexual health needs I may have in the future. Thank you for all that you do for women and the men who support and love them, Planned Parenthood.
