At DuPont Clinic, this procedure typically involves two appointments. On the first day, you’ll meet your Patient Care Guide, review the process with a nurse and physician, and receive medication to begin dilating the cervix. The second day involves the actual procedure in a private, supportive setting.
Our approach is grounded in the latest evidence-based medical standards to ensure your well-being. If you would like more information about Dilation and Evacuation and whether it’s right for you, our care team is here to answer all your questions with compassion and expertise.
