Aspiration
"Making the right decision starts with having the right informatin"

Why call Aspiration “non-surgical”?
It is inaccurate and misleading to say that Aspiration is a “non-surgical”
procedure.  This option is available at DrEmily's, but we urge our patients to
get all the information before choosing this route.

Ask questions before selecting a facility and procedure:
1.  Is the doctor a specialist trained in gynecology and using state-of-the-art
electronic equipment?
2.  Is the doctor a generalist with inexpensive manual tubes and no
training with sophisticated equipment?
3.  Does the facility have the resources to offer more sophisticated solutions
or is this the "only show in town"?

Is Aspiration painful?
Yes. Usually the pain lasts a short time, but women often call it unbearable.

How can I avoid pain?
The only way to avoid pain is with the simple expedient of being completely
asleep under a trained anesthesiologist’s care. The medication is very effective
and also short-acting. This means that you are awake and ready to leave the
office within 20-30 minutes.

When is Aspiration an option?
When a woman feels she has a high tolerance for pain, Aspiration is an option.
Remember, here at DrEmily’s, if you choose Aspiration and then change your
mind, or the pain becomes unbearable, an anesthesiologist is available to keep
you comfortable.  At DrEmily's we perform Aspiration only to 11 weeks of
gestation.

Why is Aspiration so expensive?
Aspiration doesn't have to be expensive.  At DrEmily's the price for Aspiration
is the same as that for traditional abortion and abortion LITE.  Check out our
pricing page and see for yourself.

Is insurance OK for Aspiration?
DrEmily is happy to verify and accept your insurance for Aspiration.

I cannot decide which procedure is best for me…
Sometimes talking to another woman helps. Give us a call ANYTIME 24/7 at

you always have the option of deciding what you want when you get here
and speak with our counselors and the doctor.
