Pre-Op
In order for you to go through basic
procedures as easily as possible after you have decided to terminate
pregnancy, we have included here some recommended procedures for you
to follow before pre-op and during follow-up.
At
Eve Medical Center, we make every effort to
see that each woman receives personal attention and the highest
level of care. While we try very hard to minimize waiting time for
all of our patients, sometimes that is not possible. We ask for your
understanding in this matter and assure you that while there may, at
times, be delays, we will never compromise the quality of your
medical care.
