First care is an amazing resource for anyone who is pregnant and needs help with baby clothes, diapers, formula, and parenting resources and education. Please ignore all the negative reviews from people who have never received the services.To Ted who says First Care shouldnt exist, and that planned Parenthood provides all the same services, you dont know what youre talking about. Planned Parenthood doesnt give diapers and baby clothes and baby supplies. Also Ted, if you think First Care shouldnt exist, will you be buying me diapers and baby clothes? Otherwise where am I supposed to get help with these resources??Planned Parenthood is the place to go if you want an abortion. First Care is the place to go if you want to keep your child and need help with pregnancy and baby resources.
This centers website has a lot of info about providing judgement-free, pressure-free information on three different types of options for pregnant people. However, in its FAQs, it states ‘While abortion often feels like the only option, we don’t believe it’s in the best interest of women.So know that if you go to this clinic they will try to steer you away from abortion. Listing three options and then actively discouraging people from choosing one of them does not seem pressure or judgment-free to me.I also find it a bit odd that the center offers STI testing and pregnancy tests, but nothing about contraception? Id expect a center that offers guidance on pregnancy options to also have contraception options.The website also states they adhere to a strict confidentiality policy, but in a response to an earlier review, they stated that the reviewer wasnt in their records. This makes me nervous--why are they sharing details about their records on a public platform like this?
Dishonest & fraudulent ...they predate on vulnerable people...they have an agenda and its not helping couples going through a difficult time.Edited-post response by FCPC: I have had a negative experience and I let you know, dont try to descridit this review with your dishonesty, though that is very up your lane. This place has an agenda and does not exist to help people, unless you want exactly what they want for you. Beware!
I went in today and no one was at the front desk. Not very helpful. LuckilyPlanned Parenthood was nearby and open, and has the resources I need.
ETA: I stand by my one star review. Crisis Pregnancy centers are fraudulent and shouldnt be funded by any public money. Thankfully the state is starting to see this as well, as womens rights are being eroded by organizations such as yours. Women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and full bodily autonomy. I will continue to make sure women know they can not receive that at your clinic.
I feel like a lot of the negative reviews on this place focus on them being anti-abortion. They dont do abortions here, its not what they do. Its like going to Target and being upset that they dont sell cars. This center focuses on helping women who are pregnant and plan on keeping it, and if thats what you want to do, its an excellent free resource. If you want to get an abortion, then go to planned parenthood because they provide those services. And at the same time, I can understand if the principle of them being a conservative organization bothers you, but its partially funded by churches, so what can you really expect? Again, if you want free STD tests, help with baby clothes, its an excellent FREE resource. The staff a really kind and helpful and theyre willing to go the extra mile to help you out.
Incredibly kind, helpful and supportive pregnancy center. They take the time to listen to your needs and give you all resources available no matter what decision you make for your pregnancy. They truly care about you as a woman and support you through any situation you are facing. Highly trained and certified professional medical staff. Completely confidential.
Laura @ First Care pregnancy Center did an amazing job assisting my wife and I with outstanding resources for our son. She even searched the web to give us much more options as well as over exceeding our requests for support. Kudos Laura. And God Bless You.
Avoid this place like the plague. Their mission is not about the health of the mom or the baby. If you do go here make sure you are being treated by a licensed medical person (nurse or doctor), insist on seeing a license! They are solely interested in tricking you into carrying the baby until it is legally against the law to have an abortion. At that point this place will wash its hands of you and never care about you again. Go to planned Parenthood who will give you all medical options, and will help YOU make the best choice for the health of you and your family.
Coincidence that this place is positioned so closely to Planned Parenthood? I dont think so. Yet another pregnancy center who does not provide abortion services and all of the so-called services they provide can also be provided by Planned Parenthood or other clinics. Theres no reason this place even needs to exist.
They offer free ultrasounds and STD testing. They also have free adoption resources and parenting resources. They arent trying to pressure or coerce women, contrary to some of the other reviews. They will be honest about their beliefs and respectful of yours wherever those beliefs may differ.
I cannot express how amazing and helpful the First Care staff are !! They made me feel completely welcomed, valued, and understood.I ended up going to First Care due to having an unexpected pregnancy. It all came down on my family without warning, I was lucky we had saved up some money which was to pay some of our car debt but instead that money helped us for the first 4 months of pregnancy but after things just fell into a crisis and First Care helped me emotionally, and financially to get through the rest of my pregnancy. First Carw helped by providing coaching, earning point to buy my child clothes, diapers and wipes. They also helped me get connected with recourses to get a car seat, breast pumps, doula, and a pack n’ play. I cannot be more thankful that we are able to get these types of help when things go downhill.
Absolutely love this place and their staff! They are incredibly helpful and caring! I went to both pre birth and post birth classes! Super helpful information for new & expecting parents! They are beyond willing to work with anyone and help get you your answers! Laura & Adriane are my go to girls when calling or going in for appointments!
I absolutely had a great experience here! The staff were kind and very helpful. Most of all they were very understanding, and nonjudgmental. The care and love I received from the staff was unbelievable!! I would recommend this place and the program to anyone!
Tova is exceptional at what she does. I felt very cared for at my visit. She is very informative and so sincere. This place is very nice for someone who needs it.
Not a real medical facility!!! No licensed doctors.!!! Their only goal is to shame women away from ALL available options. Probably funded by fanatic religious groups to control women.
Kind, experienced, educated, professional, and so very helpful. Free services and everything is confidential.
This place served my wife and I with the uttermost care!!! Their service is really good.
First Care..we got good support and care
