What Our Patients Say

These are responses from our patients, their partners and families who have come to our clinic for interruption of desired pregnancies for reasons of fetal anomalies or medical indications.

"Dear Dr. Hern and all your wonderful staff,
I want to thank you for all your support and understanding in my times of sorrow and need. I have never met a doctor in my life who has shown so much compassion for his patient as you did for me! You all helped me and supported me when I had to make the hardest decision in my life. Although the pain in my heart is still here, I am thankful I am still here to take care of my other children. Thank you all much more than I can ever express. I couldn't have made it without you and kept my sanity."

"Dr. Hern and his staff complement each other in a very positive way. I was treated with respect, understanding, compassion and support. The staff was attentive and kind. This most difficult situation was made easier because of the kind of care that I received. The privacy and respect for that privacy that was given to me was extremely helpful. I am very grateful and appreciative of the gentle way that I was cared for while I was there. Thank you for being here for me during this very delicate and difficult time in our lives."

"Dear Dr. Hern and All Clinic Staff,
It is important to me to write this note to let you all know how grateful both of us are for your professionalism and support through the emotional decision and planning we had to make on very short (near panicked) notice. Both of us now take particular comfort in the confidence we gained regarding my medical treatment, as well as the respect we received on our decision. Once again, thank you all for your care and support and for our freedom to choose."

"I was very impressed with both you and your staff. You were all very knowledgeable and compassionate and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you again, Dr. Hern. I will never forget how you helped me (and my family) through a very sad and unfortunate ordeal."

"I am so grateful to live in this age where I have the choice to have an abortion. I am even more grateful that people like you and your staff were there to help me. You were kind and invited me into your office before the procedure. I felt safe and cared for. I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for your clinic and, as I later learned, the pivotal role you played in young women's rights to choose for themselves. I just want you to know that I feel that you saved my life."

"We just wanted to drop you a quick note to express our sincere appreciation for your sound level of professionalism and even more, for your sincere human touch. During a time that is most difficult and sad, you and your unique staff were able to reach out with tears, arms, hands and words of compassion. It was not easy, but you made it better. Thank you sincerely."

"I accompanied my friend to your clinic for a late-term abortion. I just wanted to let you know how much you truly changed her life and how much you have inspired me in my own life to help change the world in a positive way. You are an angel on earth, Dr. Hern. I am compelled to write to you because I am so grateful for your work. Please don't ever forget how much we love and need you."

"This was a very difficult decision for me to make from the very beginning. I was scared and confused. When I called the clinic the first time, the nurse was kind and comforting. From the moment I arrived at the clinic, the ladies here were like no one I've met. Everyone here treated me like a real person and took the time and patience out of their busy schedule to listen to me and give me a hug. These ladies took the time to know me and my family, who they never met."
