Planned Parenthood Mission Bay--Parker Center

This is hands down the best PPH in California. Every time I come here the staff is so kind and welcoming. The service was very speedy. I have absolutely no complaints about this PPH from the women that greet you to the nurse/​midwife that conducts the procedures. I wish everyone’s experience at PPH across California is as pleasurable as mine has been the past 2 visits which were a year and half apart by the way. These people are amazing and should be recognized more often. Thank you again and I will be back.

I went today for an S T D exam but I get there an they tell me I can’t get the exam cause I wasn’t specific on the phone when I made the appointment. They said I didn’t tell the person on the phone my symptoms so they didn’t schedule the right appointment. How is that my fault, if they font ask what kind of symptoms am I having I’m not going to give out personal information to somebody I don’t know! Also the receptionist at the clinic is very rude, she talks very loud so the people sitting in the waiting room can hear your personal information! This is my last visit to this clinic very rude, no respect to patients & never on time!

240pm appointment
Got there at 215pm
Was not even in room till after 3
Two people who got there after me went in before!
Waiting room again to wait for exam room: why? I’m just getting BC no reason to make me wait the doc can talk to me in the interview room!
It’s now 352pm. I’m still waiting.
Been here almost two hours now even though I had an appointment.

Went here for my annual exam — my first time at a Planned Parenthood and I can tell you it will be my last. I had a 9am appointment which I was early to. They tried to tell me I owed a copay… its my annual exam — they’re free. They’re always free. Its preventative care! I went out to call my insurance company and a nurse came up to me saying they couldn’t find the eligibility check they did the day before so they won’t charge me. I don’t mind paying if it was an urgent care visit or something, but thats not what this was and I know my insurance plan.
I saw a busy waiting room and figured there must be a lot of people who didn’t make appointments. How ignorant of me! 10 minutes go by… 20 minutes go by… 50 minutes go by… 70 minutes go by. I had had enough and told the receptionist i’d like to cancel and walked out. lets just say the person that left 10 minutes before me was NOT as nice.
How unprofessional to schedule an appointment and then leave the patient sitting there when you’re over an HOUR + behind schedule. At least have numbers or something like they do at in-​n-​out so you know if you’re close or just waiting your morning away.
Get it together.

Came in today with an appointment. They said I could come in a little earlier. I had a procedure done to remove my implant birth control and re-​insert a new one. The front desk girls were amazing, the MA was great, and the clinician Brita, hands down she was phenomenal. I will forever recommend this clinic. I still and always will support Planned Parenthood and their mission.

I’m giving them 5 stars because they are always so helpful at all the PPs and at this one they were super friendly and accommodating to my personal needs. Thank you always!

Sure it’s a central position for many, but waiting time is just too long. An hour late serving the first patients of the day… is not acceptable.

Amazing! I will make this brief. Best Planned Parenthood Around! I was in and out super quick the staff is REALLY nice and very chill. Props to Meghan who works an awesome front Desk. That woman knows and loves her job! Meghan worked her magic and got me all set up. Love that woman! Cheers to Mission Bay PP for kickin’ butt!

Friendly staff, clean facility, reasonable wait time. (With appt took less than 30 min each time).
Patients go back alone, which could be a drawback if you trust the person your with and would both like to consult the doctor, or see the ultrasound.

Bad Vibes
So, the wait time was over an hour each time I have been there even with an appointment.
The nurse practicioners are hit or miss. You will either get someone who honestly cares about helping people or you will get a bitch who’s attitude is «it’s not my job».
If your ok then this place is ok. But if you messed up or need help the answer is no. I feel like the few who do care save them over all.
If your having a bad day, suck it up and don’t lay it on someone who is obvously there because they need your help. Help!

the Jiffy Lube of V land.
they were an hour late. but you can’t complain at a FREE clinic, you ingrate. I sat there squirming, sweating… what was taking so long? had the vagina before mine swallowed up the doctor whole… like Jonas and the whale? Maybe he was currently crouched, squinting, reading a copy of Moby Dick from a single light dangling from her cervix. «I’ll be right with you … you … you… «he called to me.
Maybe they had a camera on me and were laughing from the back room.
Finally I was called and asked all kinds of personal questions, types of questions that caused me to reminisce. Only one partner this year, thanks. Yes I know… business is slow for everyone this year.
They weighed me fully clothed, at eight pounds heavier than my scale at home. minor panic Had my home scale been sugar coating my life?
In the end, I got all kinda birth control for free and a pamphlet for every possible problem you know. down THERE! ‘
*echo echo echo *
I thanked them… great times… turned off the light and let them out.

I wish I could say I qualified for the «free» services as I felt as though with the little I make to eke by I would easily qualify. But unfortunately I make «too much.» This would have to be the first time I’ve ever heard that one. Should I take it as a compliment? NO. Better keep it under wraps, Devon. Don’t want it going to your head. You barely made rent, after all.
I’m sure they’ve seen their fair share of messed up «junk» in their day, so I’m sure I was (*or hope so at least) a pleasant surprise of normalcy.
Yes the wait time was relatively long but how can I complain about wait times when my only other options are grossly overpriced private health care organizations or healthcare through my job which I do not have affordable access to. I’m most definitely not complaining though. I feel fortunate to have access to a cheap facility that can provide me with a sound mind and assure me that my bizniss is doin’ fine.
There is a flat screen t.v. in the lobby that plays a 20 minute loop of about 3 music videos and a story about some people traveling through Chicago. Better than complete silence I’ll admit. While waiting you can’t help but wonder what everyone else is there for. You can really let both your mind and imagination wander.
In my head I imagined a woman angrily running out of the backroom screaming, «I’m not a whore. It’s not my fault I have a heavy flow and a wide-​set vagina!» at the nurse. No such luck. I guess that will have to remain as nothing more than a scene from Mean Girls. HA HA HA
While waiting, I witnessed a woman get Plan B relatively easy which is nice. Instead of having an extended wait and having to take an unnecessary pregnancy test, she explained the sitch, paid and was on her way worry free. Nice.
Their protocol is to have everyone pee in a cup «just in case.» You would think with the gallon-​a-​day-​or-​more water habit I have that this wouldn’t be tough for me but incidentally I didn’t have much to give them. Good thing it wasn’t needed.
After I changed into my paper gown, the nurse practioner came in the room and proceeded with my exam. I apologize Ms. N.P., but it seems that I didn’t catch your name even though you rounded second base with me. She was very professional and thorough and informed me that if I don’t hear back from them not to worry, it’s a good thing.
So Planned Parenthood, I thank you, hope to not hear from you and I’ll be seeing you in a couple of years for an update.
