  I received my IUD here in 2017. When I first sat down with the intake nurse, she asked me if I had taken any pain meds ahead of time. I said no, and was surprised when her eyes widened and she said, “Nothing?” Apparently the receptionist was supposed to tell me to take plenty of pain meds when I booked my appointment. The nurse said “You should be fine,” and we proceeded with the procedure. The procedure was the absolute worst pain of my life. I screamed for the doctor to stop at one point yet they said “almost done” and continued anyways. Afterwards I laid on the table sobbing. They left me to recover and the doctor came back concerned and surprised that I was crying, but not in a particularly gentle way and it upset me more. In addition to the actual pain from the IUD, I felt uninformed and violated. I support Planned Parenthood and their mission but every time I hear the name mentioned I get chills because of this awful experience. I wish I had written this review or reported this earlier but never got up the courage.

  Before I even came to this location I read some reviews and usually I decide for myself if an experience is bad; I work for a doctor office so I do understand how stressful the day can get. I am beyond words with my experience! The building itself (inside) is super neat and honestly very clean but the service???? The girl at the front was very rude and honestly made me feel like an embarrassment to be there. I had questions about filling out my paperwork but she couldn’t have cared less about helping me and I didn’t even bother with asking her anymore. The doctor I had was also very dismissive, she hadn’t really said much for me to tell if she was nice or not. I love that there are options such as PP and I fully support the cause but I don’t really appreciate having felt the way I did leaving here.

  I was literally on hold for 50 minutes prior to close... They closed before answering my call. How hard is it to pick up a phone? Especially when I am willing to wait patiently for an hour.

  I moved from Tolland CT to New Milford CT. I figured I'd go to the danbury planned parenthood because it's silly to drive three hour round trip just for birth control. I called them, and I was on hold for half an hour. I went to go in so I could talk with them, and was in the waiting room for an HOUR... I looked over into the receptionist area to see if anyone was in there, because the phones were ringing off the hook. The receptionist was back there, stuffing her face with pizza. I just walked out and called up the Manchester pp. A few years have gone by since then, and I decided to try danbury again... I just called, half an hour before they close. The phone rang and rang and an automated message told me that they are closed. They don't close for another half an hour, though! This place is dingy and gross. It's located in an old converted house and the waiting room was disgusting... I didn't even want to sit down while I waited. Forget it, I'll just go across the state and waste a day. At least they're professional, curteous, nice, and CLEAN over there.

  Moved to CT from MA. Didn't have health insurance yet that was valid for services in this state. The clinicians and desk staff worked out to negotiate a fair price for an exam and birth control. Was in and out - faster than my original OBGYN. Would definitely go back.
