Why We Offer Anesthesia for Surgical Abortions: Prioritizing Patient Comfort

At Dr. Emily Women's Health Center, we believe that every patient deserves compassionate, comfortable, and safe reproductive healthcare. That's why we're proud to offer anesthesia for all surgical abortion procedures—a service that sets us apart in the Bronx and across New York City.

Understanding Your Comfort Options

When you choose a surgical abortion at our practice, you won't have to face unnecessary discomfort. We provide anesthesia options that allow you to be completely comfortable throughout your procedure. For many patients, this means they sleep through the entire process and wake up with the procedure already complete.

Our board-certified physicians, Dr. Brian E. Park, have over 30 years of experience in women's healthcare. They understand that managing pain and anxiety is just as important as the medical procedure itself.

The Safety of Our AAAASF-Accredited Facility

Our surgical center is accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), also known as Quad A. This prestigious accreditation means that our facility has been rigorously evaluated and meets the highest standards for:

• Patient safety protocols
• Anesthesia administration and monitoring
• Emergency preparedness
• Infection control
• Staff qualifications and training

When you receive anesthesia at Dr. Emily Women's Health Center, you can trust that you're in expert hands in a facility that prioritizes your safety above all else.

What This Means for Your Experience

Choosing anesthesia for your surgical abortion means:

No Pain During the Procedure: You won't feel discomfort during your abortion. Many patients report that the relief of not experiencing procedural pain significantly reduced their overall anxiety about the appointment.

Reduced Anxiety: Knowing you'll be comfortable allows you to feel more relaxed before and during your visit. Our compassionate staff will be with you every step of the way.

Faster Procedure: When patients are comfortable and relaxed, procedures can often be completed more efficiently and smoothly.

Quick Recovery: After your procedure, you'll rest in our comfortable recovery area while the anesthesia wears off. Most patients are ready to go home within an hour or two.
