I had a great experience with the staff here, they made sure I was comfortable during my iud check. They were more informative about everything and making sure I was okay with every step.
Every appointment I've had here thus far as been lovely, and the people working here have been nothing but kind. I go primarily for testosterone/transition services, and I cannot recommend PP enough for that. The folks at the front desk are super respectful and helpful, and the doctors have always been patient with me.

If I ever need any of the other services they provide and have a choice between PP or my PCP, I'll go with PP in a heartbeat.
