Planned Parenthood

This location is the best! Staff is attentive, friendly, and supportive. I’ll return to this one again!

I went in yesterday for an appointment here at this facility. Considering how nervous I was I expected the appointment to not go well. Every single staff I encountered not only made me feel instantly comfortable, but made me feel like the choices I was making were the right ones for me! Thank you so much for making my experience a positive one! I highly recommend this location and this team!

This PPH location has the best staff by far compared to any clinic/​hospital I’ve ever been to. I was nervous to go in, but the staff was so welcoming and supportive. Living in Bremerton, there are a few clinics nearby but taking the ferry to this location was definitely worth it. Also very clean and wait time wasn’t bad at all. Thank you guys for taking care of me during such a tough time. I really appreciate your services.

Every single time I have gone to the First Hill Planned Parenthood (about once a month for over a year) I have been treated very well. All of the staff is very friendly and attentive. They are always helpful and fast or at least very apologetic if a delivery of your kind of BC pill hasn’t been received by them yet. I dislike going anywhere else. It is a small office though, and can be very busy in the small waiting room, but I’ve never had to wait more than 20 minutes to pick up my prescription. Plus it is located in a fairly large building (Nordstrom Tower) so you can easily just wait in the hall or elsewhere nearby if it’s too crowded.

The staff were really great and professional and I’m really grateful for the information and services they provided. But the waiting room was tiny so that there wasn’t really any privacy in talking to the receptionist, filling out the forms or waiting for an uncomfortable procedure. I think the day I went they were particularly backed up but it wasn’t ideal to have to stand for an hour or more. Also, parking in the local garage is pretty expensive. Other PP locations very nearby have both free parking and larger waiting rooms, making the overall experience a little more comfortable.

Most people get a bit nervous going to Planned Parenthood, especially for uncomfortable exams. I waited about 35 min after my apartment time but once I got in to see the nurse, she was amazing and answered all my questions. And the NP was great. Would highly recommend the First Hill location in Seattle.

I have been to a few different locations over the years and this one is by far the best. To start with its a brand new, beautiful facility. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. This is the first one I’ve been to that was actually on time with my appointments.

This is the first and only Planned Parenthood I have visited in the Seattle area, but they blow the ones in southern Nevada out of the water. I have been going to PP for a few years for my birth control prescription, but was unsure of what to expect as PP of the Rocky Mountains and PP of the Great Northwest are not connected. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They were able to set me up with a consultation for a new prescription that day since I had explained to them that it would be difficult and costly to get my previous prescription from a pharmacy. After filling out paperwork, I only had to wait about 20 min to be seen, and they kept apologizing for the wait. In Las Vegas, I had to wait anywhere from 30 min to and hour and a half just for a simple pick up! They were so helpful. I haven’t visited any other clinics in this area, but I would definitely recommend this one based on my out-​of-​state experiences.

I have been going to Planned Parenthoods since I was 15. I have been to several locations here in Washington state, but also a few in Georgia and Florida. So I feel I have great authority to say, not all Planned Parenthoods have the same quality. Even here the Pacific Northwest.
My family lives in Whatcom county, and the planned parenthood there is by far the best I have been to. When I first moved to King County I lived in Bellevue and went to the PP there. Since the Bellevue location had a «free clinic» feel, I was really scared to venture to any of their locations in Seattle thinking they would be worse. I recently have been reunited with insurance, but the specific BC I used had a $ 40 co-​pay for one month Supply. PP charged me $ 45 for 3 months. No brainer right? I live on First Hill and need to get my BC right away and didn’t want to drive to Bellevue anymore.
So the First Hill location… it’s only open 3 days a week at limited hours. It’s on the 10^th floor of the Nordstrom Tower. My first impression when I walked in was ‘Wow’. You wouldn’t guess it’s a PP. It’s very clean and professional. It’s very small and they only have one window. The staff at the front desk was very friendly. Unlike other locations, you don’t need to fill out a slip to get your BC. They also don’t have a bowl of condoms (which is always sketchy looking to me).
At PP you need to see their doctor once a year to receive BC. I for one, haven’t seen their doctor in over a year, so I wasn’t allowed to pick up my BC. I made an appointment to see one. There was no appointments open for the day, but I got the impression that if there were they would of seen me that day. The last appointment of the day is at 10:30am, which for me was really inconvenient. Needless to say I ended up having to go to my pharmacy and paying $ 40. I then was reminded that as of January 1^st the Health Care Reform goes into effect and my insurance will cover my BC 100%. So I canceled my appointment. I did speak with one of the doctors and she was really friendly, so I do recommend checking out this location if you need to get a check up or BC.
