Testimonials
I walked into the clinic shaking—terrified of being judged or rushed. But the receptionist, Sarah, greeted me by name with this warm smile, like she’d been waiting just for me. The doctor, Dr. Patel, didn’t just listen; he sat down, looked me in the eye, and said, ‘This is your pace. We’re here to support you, not pressure you.’ I was in and out in 20 minutes, but it felt like they’d lifted a boulder off my chest. When Dr. Patel called two days later to discuss my results, he even asked how my cat was doing (I’d mentioned her during the visit). Small things, but they made me feel human. For the first time in years, I didn’t dread going to a clinic. Thank you for seeing me, not just a patient.
Evelyn Jimenez
I’m a single mom working two jobs—I didn’t have time to wait weeks for help. From the moment I called, the scheduler squeezed me in the next morning. The nurse, Jess, handed me tea and said, ‘Breathe. We’ve got you.’ Dr. Lee explained everything in plain English—no confusing jargon—and promised to call personally with next steps. True to his word, he rang me at 7 PM the next day (!) to start therapy.
Debra Peters
I’m 19, broke, and scared to tell my family. The clinic’s website said ‘judgment-free,’ but I didn’t believe it—until I met them. The front desk staff didn’t bat an eye when I showed up 30 minutes early, panicking. Dr. Kim sat with me for an extra 10 minutes to answer my ‘silly’ questions (her words: ‘No such thing!’). She even wrote down her direct line and said, ‘Text me if you’re worried—day or night.’ When she called with my results, she asked, ‘Have you eaten today?’ and sent me a list of free therapy resources. For someone who felt invisible, that meant everything. To anyone my age: don’t suffer alone. These people see you

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is abortion legal in South Africa?
Yes. Under the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act (1996), abortion is legal: Up to 12 weeks of pregnancy: Available on request, no questions asked. 13–20 weeks: Permitted under specific circumstances (e.g., risks to physical/mental health, socioeconomic factors, or fetal abnormalities). Beyond 20 weeks: Only allowed if the pregnancy endangers the patient’s life or the fetus has severe abnormalities. Our clinic strictly adheres to these laws, ensuring all procedures are ethical and compliant.
3. Is the abortion procedure safe?
Yes. Surgical abortion is a low-risk, medically supervised procedure when performed by licensed professionals. Our clinic follows WHO safety guidelines, using sterile equipment and modern techniques to minimize complications like infection or excessive bleeding.
4. Are there any risks or side effects after abortion?
Serious complications are rare (<1% of cases). Temporary side effects may include: Mild cramping or spotting. Nausea or dizziness (due to anesthesia). Emotional sensitivity (counseling support is available). Our 24/7 emergency line ensures immediate assistance if needed.
5. Will my visit be confidential?
Absolutely. We prioritize patient privacy: No shared records without your consent. Discreet clinics in South Africa. Private recovery rooms and anonymous billing.
6.How soon can I get pregnant again after a surgical abortion?
Ovulation can resume within 2 weeks, so we recommend starting contraception immediately. Our clinic offers free contraceptive counseling and options like pills, IUDs, or implants during your visit
7. What is the difference between medical and surgical abortion?
Medical Abortion: Uses pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) to terminate pregnancies up to 9 weeks. Done at home with follow-up support. Surgical Abortion: A quick in-clinic procedure for pregnancies up to 20 weeks, involving gentle suction or specialized instruments. Our team will help you choose the safest option based on your gestational age and health.
8. Do you offer pain relief after abortion?
Yes. We customize pain management: Local anesthesia: Numbs the cervix (early procedures). Conscious sedation: Reduces anxiety while awake. General anesthesia: For a pain-free experience (later-term procedures).
9. How long does recovery take?
