Review of The Morgentaler Clinic

There s no parking so don t look for it. Not even paid parking is available. Extremely discreet entrance in order to secure privacy. Not a wheelchair accessible location as you have to walk up a long flight of stairs. After getting COVID questions done, you re asked to enter to the security area where a security man will ask you some questions and ask you to turn your phone off, make sure you aren t driving alone after the procedure, etc. I had to wait in the waiting room for about an hour while reading their clinic forms and signing forms. I wasn t too sure of the time as I didn t wear a watch and couldn t see the clock because it was in the corner of the room. After though, I was called in to see a woman to confirm that I had filled out the information on my paperwork correctly. She wasn t very nice, seemed very in a rush and annoyed at the same thing she had to do everyday. Then I got escorted back into the waiting room to wait a couple of more minutes for the counsellor to see me. The counsellor was extremely kind and compassionate. She s willing to answer any questions you have and is willing to help you as much as she possibly can. At the counsellor s office you re asked to take a painkiller as well as offered an anti anxiety medication to help if you are feeling nervous. After that, you re escorted by the counsellor to the locker area to change and then you wait in a different waiting room to check your Rh blood type and to confirm your pregnancy. During my procedure, I had a male doctor as well as two female nurses with me. I wouldn t say I felt uncomfortable with them but they were definitely just doing their job. Wish I had a nurse s hand to hold but that s okay. The procedure was pretty uncomfortable as obviously they re poking and prodding in your uterus. After the procedure, you get escorted to the recovery room where a nurse will ask you if you want water or crackers. If you feel well after 30 minutes, you are allowed to leave. I had to stay a little longer as I was a bit nauseous afterwards. I would say after changing, it s quite awkward waiting in the waiting area again to give back the locker key. It would be nice if you could just drop it off and leave rather than have to wait in the waiting area again. I would say overall, it wasn t a bad experience but definitely be prepared to wait.
