In patients' words

"I cannot express with words how wonderful the staff at lovering health center are. All I can say is that I pulled out of the parking lot and said to myself “I’ll never forget this place”. Whatever you are being treated for at lovering, I can promise the amazing humans that work there make it so much easier to get through."

"One doctor ... was extremely pushy in suggesting I have an IUD inserted the same day as my abortion. I expressed having zero interest ... Multiple times. ... This person was so insistent, it made me extremely uncomfortable in an already uncomfortable situation."
