Services
Heritage Clinic for Women offers three types of abortion services from conception through 22 weeks. To determine the appropriate type of procedure, an ultrasound is performed to determine how long you have been pregnant. This is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). Medical Abortion non-surgical abortions, commonly known as Abortion Pill (RU486) are offered 70 days (10 weeks) or less from the last menstrual period (LMP).The process involves a minimum of two visits to the clinic but gives you the opportunity to experience the abortion at home.
Medical (non-surgical) abortion, commonly known as Abortion Pill using Mifeprex and Cytotec is available if you are 70 days (10 weeks) or less from your last menstrual period. Mifeprex (Mifepristone) is a drug which blocks the action of progesterone, a hormone needed to continue the pregnancy by keeping it attached to the wall of the uterus.
Depending on how far along the pregnancy is, there are TWO types of Surgical Abortion offered at Heritage Clinic for Women. Heritage Clinic for Women offers the suction curettage surgical abortion procedure if your pregnancy length is between 5-13 weeks LMP. Suction Curettage abortion procedure is the most common method of abortions performed in the United States.
Medical abortion is simply another alternative to a suction aspiration procedure (surgical abortion). One procedure is not better than the other, they are just two different ways of experiencing an abortion. The perceived advantages and disadvantages with each option will vary depending on individual circumstances and perspectives.

These people were absolutely amazing. I was so nervous leading up to everything but the moment I went into the clinic that all went away. They even went so far out of their way for me, I live two hours away and my driver forgot their inhaler, started wheezing, and they made sure to go out of their way to care for them and get them an inhaler. I was so calm, even in the procedure that I almost fell asleep waiting for the Doctor to come in. I highly recommend these amazing people. They make you feel comfortable, validated, and not alone.

I had an abortion here last year for personal reasons, I had rescheduled multiple times due to fear and nervousness and each time I rescheduled the staff was incredibly understanding and helpful. At the time of the appointment they made sure I was comfortable and answered every question to the best of their ability. The therapy session provided before the procedure was incredibly eye opening and they emphasized all the options available. I'm super grateful for their professionalism. They offered financial help too which helped me tremendously. Overall they made a tough experience a lot easier on me.

This place is amazing. They keep your privacy and comfort as their main goals as well as your safety. They take the time to personally speak to every patient alone to make sure they aren't being coerced into the decision, even minors. The staff is friendly and bubbly and I had no fear the entire time I was there. It is a long wait and a long time to not eat but they are doing their best to help as many people as possible or and stay open until they do. They call in prescriptions right then and there so they're ready by the time you get out. Honestly could not have asked for a better experience.

Very kind staff. Doctor spend plenty of time with me answering my questions and helping me. I was scared and he made me feel better. Staff talked to me many times on the phone as long as I needed and answered all of my questions. I never felt rushed. Procedure was fast. You do wait quite a long time but I think it's nice that the doc spends time with his patients and didn't rush any of us ladies because it's a scary thing. I had no problems or complications after.

I just had an abortion provided by Doctor Gordon and I have to say I am impressed. Every nurse I spoke too was extremely kind. The blonde woman with the curly hair especially. She made me feel so at ease and that alone made it ten times easier. The Doctor was professional and I could tell he took his job seriously and really cared for his patients.
I was barely in any pain. I'm hours out of surgery and actually feel great! My bleeding is very minimal. I would highly recommend this place for woman's services. I live 3 hours from the clinic and I would make the drive again if I had too just to see this doctor. Its always a scary experience having an abortion, and they made it so much less scary. What a nice and professional group of people. I can't say it enough. Thank you so much to everyone at Heritage.

A wonderful place with extremely thoughtful and caring staff. Going in I was a little anxious, however all of my questions were answered and they were more than professional. The waiting room can get a little crowded - however the people waiting aren't judgmental and are respectful. Overall - a good place to go.
