If a parent or legal guardian does not accompany the minor patient, our office is required by law to mail a certified letter, return receipt requested, to the last known address of the parent or legal guardian 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment. The abortion may proceed 48 hours after the notification letter has been mailed whether the parent has received it or not. Complications rarely occure because abortion is a very safe procedure. A very small percent of women experience minor complications that will not affect the ability to become pregnant in the future. Should any concern arise, we ask that you contact our office immediately.
Most concerns are able to be handled by the telephone.
However, we are able to see you at our office at any time necessary.
