"Wonderful staff"

About: Marie Stopes International Essex Centre

I would just like to say that I have read the reviews here prior to having my treatment, and the negatives scared the hell out of me. However, when I actually got to Marie Stopes, and had the whole experience myself, I can honestly say that in a situation as unpleasant as this, it was as good as it can be. The nurses were absolutely lovely - they made me feel normal and human, chatted about all sorts of things, and made the situation as casual and less nerve-wrecking. The worst part was the waiting - there were some delays - however, that is the only complaint I have. Once I was called in the surgery room, everything went by incredibly quickly. I had IV sedation, but I was assured that I will be asleep. And so I was. I also recovered in no time and had no side effects from sedation afterwards. All in all, I was taken care of, I felt treated like a normal patient, and a very uncomfortable and sad situation was made less stressful by the lovely attitude from the staff.

I apologise for the delay in responding, however we have only just been given the access to respond to clients. Thank you for such positive feedback and I'm sure many others in this position have benefited from reading such positive comments. With best wishes from MSI.
