I was looking into Planned Parenthood for an surgical abortion (I am 6 weeks) but I am hearing many negative experiences. Thank you very much,

No abortion is ever a "pleasant" experience, but what kind of negative experiences have you heard about?
I had an abortion at about 6 weeks. I didn't go to Planned Parenthood, but I did have a surgical. The entire process from the time I got there, to the time I left, took about 3 hours. Although they told me to expect to be there for about 5-6 hours. I remained awake through the procedure and had no problems during or after my abortion.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Sorry..
I should have given more info. The negative stories were online, doctors performing botched abortions. I cannot find any information related to PP in my area and there are many clinics so I feel a little overwhelmed. I am early but this would my 3rd abortion and I am in my mid 30's ( I have been to PP but this was 15 years ago and not in this area).
I would very much appreciate a recommendation for a reputable clinic or doctor in the LA area.

good abortion clinic in Los Angeles Area
Hi,
I just came to know about my pregnancy and as this is an unplanned one, I will like to go for an abortion. After all the discussions I have seen online, I believe I will go for a surgical one. I have been to a couple of clinics around Pasadena, CA and I am still not sure which to go for. If possible please let me know about any good clinics in or around Pasadena CA (los angeles)
Thanks
