Our Birth Control & Contraceptive Services
First-Time Contraceptive Counseling
If this is your first time navigating birth control options, we make it straightforward not overwhelming. Every option relevant to your health profile is explained clearly, honestly, and without steering you toward any particular answer before you’ve had a chance to ask your questions.
Oral Contraceptive
The pill that works for your friend may not work for your body formulation differences are real and clinically significant. We review your hormonal history and health profile to prescribe the right one, not the most frequently defaulted to.
Hormonal Non-Pill Methods
The patch, vaginal ring, and hormonal injection each carry different hormonal profiles, adherence demands, and real-world considerations. We explain what each actually involves before making a recommendation so you know what day-to-day life with that method looks like before committing to it.
Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) Counseling
Hormonal IUDs, copper IUDs, and subdermal implants each work differently and suit different patients for different reasons. We counsel on the meaningful distinctions between them, set honest expectations for placement and adjustment, and coordinate everything directly when you’re ready.
Emergency Contraception Consultation
We offer same-day telehealth and in-person consultations to walk you through your emergency contraceptive options based on your specific cycle timing and elapsed time quickly, accurately, and without judgment.
Contraceptive Method Switching
Side effects you’ve normalized may actually be signals that your current method isn’t right for your body. We evaluate what’s happening clinically rather than advising you to wait it out and guide you through switching to something that fits better.
Common Symptoms & Situations Patients Come to us
- A current method causing problems a previous provider attributed to something other than the method itself
- First-time contraceptive guidance from a provider who explains options rather than just selecting one
- Wanting to understand long-acting contraception thoroughly before committing to a method that lasts years
- Emergency contraception guidance when there's no time to wait for a callback
- A current pill that used to work well and no longer does with no clear explanation from the prescribing provider
- Contraceptive management alongside an existing diagnosis or medication that limits available options
- A pill that worked well for years and has recently stopped working — without a clear clinical reason offered
- Switching methods without losing the clinical history already built with a provider
- Prescription renewals where the provider actually asks how the method is going before sending the refill
- Exploring non-hormonal alternatives without being steered back toward hormonal options
- Connecting current contraceptive choices to longer-term reproductive and family planning goals
What Your Visit Includes?
Every consultation is built to give you the clinical foundation for a decision you’ll actually feel good about:
- A thorough review of your personal and family health history, current medications, and any past contraceptive experiences what worked, what didn’t, and what side effects you’ve dealt with
- A real conversation about your daily life, your cycle history, and what level of method involvement is sustainable for you
- Clear explanation of every option that fits your health profile including options you may not have been offered before
- Lab work or health screening ordered when your individual profile calls for it
- Same-day prescription for confirmed oral or hormonal methods following your consultation
- A structured follow-up plan and consistent access to the same provider going forward
You leave knowing what you’re on, why it was recommended for you specifically, and who to contact when something changes.
Birth Control & Your Follow up
The method that fits your life today may not fit it in three years and that’s not a failure, it’s biology and circumstance doing what they do. We stay involved through:
- Regular prescription monitoring and method check-ins at appropriate clinical intervals
- Proactive side effect evaluation rather than waiting for a breaking point before addressing what isn’t working
- Smooth method transitions that preserve the clinical context we’ve already built no starting from scratch
- Reproductive life planning that keeps your contraceptive choices connected to where you’re headed
- Full integration with women’s primary care so contraceptive health is never managed as a separate concern
- Between-visit access to your provider for questions that are real and time-sensitive

Insurance, Medicaid & Payment Options
Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans cover FDA-approved contraceptive methods and counseling and many preventive contraceptive services carry no out-of-pocket cost. Our billing team confirms your exact benefits before your appointment so there are no financial surprises when you arrive.
Uninsured patients are always welcome. We accept Medicaid and connect patients with financial assistance programs and community resources when cost is a barrier. Contraceptive care should be accessible regardless of what your current coverage situation looks like.
The Most Question We Got so Far
Still have questions? Reach out we’re just a message away.
I've been told my side effects are just something to get used to. Is that actually true?
Not always — and it’s worth finding out before assuming it is. Some adjustment period is normal when starting or switching methods. But persistent mood disruption, cycle irregularity, headaches, or low libido that continues past the adjustment window is worth reassessing clinically. We distinguish between what’s expected and what’s a signal that the method isn’t right for your body.
Can I discuss and receive a prescription over telehealth without coming in first?
For oral and hormonal contraceptive methods, yes in most cases. A telehealth consultation covers your full health history, walks through appropriate options, and issues a same-day prescription when clinically indicated. Placement of long-acting devices requires an in-person visit, but everything leading up to that decision can happen remotely.
I'm interested in a non-hormonal option. Will I be pushed back toward hormonal methods?
How do you handle contraceptive care for patients with complex medical histories?
