Planned Parenthood - Ithaca Health Center

Disclaimer: I have not been to Planned Parenthood since they moved. I brought my daughter here for HRT treatment. Her experience is positive. My experience is not based on three level of care care. I stopped of my daughter, ran an errand, and returned to PP. They would not let me into the waiting room. The receptionist first tried to claim HIPAA laws precluded my entry. I immediately dismantled that subterfuge by pointing it that nothing medical is spoken in the waiting room because that would violate HIPAA laws for everyone else in the waiting room. She took a moment then blamed safety as an issue. She then told me that she's not even allowed to tell me if my daughter is a patient. I replied that I know that which is why I told her that my daughter is a patient. She shrugged her shoulders in apathy. I'm not deaf to the current social climate; however, her initial misunderstanding of their policy (or a lie) followed by the fallback of safety concerns despite me clearly giving her all of the information about my daughter as proof that I'm here for her and not as an unsafe stranger, her apathy to my concerns is highly disconcerting and insulting.

They are very caring. There never seems to be too many people there. I have been here 4 times over the last year and have always had a good experience.

Always feel very safe, heard, and respected here. Have helped me multiple times where other OBGYNs have failed. Appointments can be long on a busy day, but everyone is so nice and transparent about it. I drive an hour to go here rather than any local Binghamton/Vestal OBGYNs because they are that good!

I can’t even describe how good of an experience I had here. I drove over an hour to come to this specific Planned Parenthood, and I am so glad that I did. I came here for gender-affirming care and everyone was excellent, respectful, and kind, from the desk staff to the doctors and nurses. They treated me like a human being and listened to me and spent time explaining everything to me. I would 100% recommend this office to everyone.

Very happy with the service I received yesterday. I went in for a Nexplanon replacement and the whole staff was very friendly and professional. My first insertion at a OBGYN office in CT I was severely bruised and in so much pain I couldn’t move my arm. That is not the case after coming to PPH in Ithaca! I’m not bruised at all nor do I feel any pain. The Dr. was not pushy about the topic of kids and was LGBTQ friendly to my spouse and I. Very wonderful experience.

The NP is saw was phenomenal and I felt well cared for the whole time- enough for me to feel like writing a review! There is a bit of a wait time as other have mentioned. The staff is all very friendly. Highly recommend.

I've never waited long to be seen here, and their staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. They work on a sliding fee scale of need be, and work with many insurances.

Everyone is nice. I have never waited to long to be seen. I have had issues with some of the doctor giving me false information. I have had to see specialist for no reason because there staff weren't properly trained on transgender issues. It hard to get ahold of them and I am always on hold for at least 2 minutes when I call them. I do like this office. They offer a lot of support for many different people.
