From the moment you arrive, you will be welcomed into a private space and supported every step of the way by a dedicated Patient Care Guide, nurses, and your physician.
Your Step-by-Step Care Journey
- Day One: Pre-Procedure Appointment
You will meet your Patient Care Guide, who will review your medical history and guide you through what to expect. A nurse and physician will answer all your questions, perform a brief ultrasound, and begin medications to gently dilate your cervix. - Overnight Cervical Dilation
Medications and/or small dilators are placed to soften and open the cervix overnight, minimizing discomfort and risk. - Day Two: D&E Procedure
On the second day, the physician completes the D&E procedure in a safe, private room. Sedation options are available for comfort. Most patients spend a few hours at the clinic before returning home or to their accommodations.
In rare cases, especially after 24 weeks or due to specific medical histories, a three-day protocol may be recommended. We will always explain all details and options in advance.
