Review titled Caring, friendly and knowledgeable
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 July 2024
The lady who did my consultation was so lovely, friendly, reassuring and helpful. I was unsure of what to do and after speaking to her for around an hour, I knew what I wanted to do. She was completely nonjudgmental and kind. I really appreciate all of the help, reassurance and compassion that was given. I decided to continue my pregnancy and MSI made sure I was completely supported by other healthcare professionals. Thank you so much, you made a tough time better.

Review titled Seamless service and delivery
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 July 2024
I already have a toddler and my husband and I had decided to only have one child, so when I became pregnant accidentally, I knew getting an abortion was the only logical choice for me. It was important for both my mental and physical wellbeing. I opted for a medical abortion. The entire process was pretty speedy and there was plenty of information available about how to take the pills. The potential side effects were also outlined in detail which gave me courage to know what to expect. Thankfully, things went smoothly and I only had minimal cramping. I would highly recommend this service to anyone choosing to have an abortion.

Review titled Can’t even work their computers
Rated 1 star out of 5

Phoned to book a vasectomy and lady couldn’t even take my details - put me on hold for 20 minutes then said she would transfer me to someone else - another 15 minutes on hold before I hung up and decided to use someone else that I would be comfortable allowing to operate on my when they can’t even organise the booking process or have staff that know the process for private bookings.

Review titled Really positive experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 July 2024
I had a medical abortion at home. My overall experience with MSI was very positive. Really quick and I was treated with the utmost respect. I made the first phonecall on a Friday Afternoon, had my telephone consultation 2 days later on the Sunday, then received my pills 2 days later on the Tuesday. So overall time from making first phone all to receiving the pills was 4 days. Being able to have the abortion in the comfort of my own home was really important to me. I rang the aftercare line a couple of times with questions and the nurses I spoke to were very helpful and reassuring. My overall experience was quick and straight forward. I would definitely recommend MSI choices.

Review titled Good care from MSI however pain is intense
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 June 2024
I am only leaving this review as I think it is important to share my experience with other women before they decide which type of termination they have. I choose medical (abortion pill) and was told I would experience cramping. I think it’s important for women and young girls to know, the pain is not cramping. The pain feels very much like early labour contractions. They are extremely intense. I’ve given birth, with no pain relief, I have a high pain threshold, but this was a lot even for me. If I was a young girl, who had never experienced birth, I think i would have been quite frightened. The level of pain should be explained in better detail, so it does not come as a shock as it did to me. I also felt very very unwell. This was also unexpected. Women need to know the truth about the level of pain they are going to experience so they can make an informed decision, if I had known, I would have chosen surgical.

Review titled Awful service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 May 2024
I had three positive Clear Blue pregnancy tests at the end of March so I booked a termination appointment with MSI. I was asked to travel to Buckhurst Hill from Essex to come in for a scan so I could collect the medication for termination afterwards. I had a scan and nothing showed as the pregnancy was very early on. The nurse proceeded to use a cheap pregnancy test that of course came back negative and she told me that I probably had false positives on the other tests which I was very shocked to hear! After that I was advised to take another pregnancy test one week later and if it came back positive, they would send the termination medication to my address. A few days after this, I had a very light bleed which I assumed was a period so I left it alone but I wasn’t feeling right, so I took a pregnancy test another 2 weeks later which came back positive again. I got back in touch with MSI who asked me to come in for another scan (even though I was told medication would get sent to me at the previous scan if another positive result came up) so we traveled to Colchester and found out that the appointment had been booked on the system incorrectly!! I was told over the phone that my appointment was ‘this Friday’ and when we got there I was told it wasn’t until the following Friday! I have spent £277 just to get to these appointments that have not got me anywhere. So now I’m over a month pregnant, very scared and stressed out as the pregnancy is effecting my interstitial cystitis badly and MSI continue to mess me about. I am not happy.

Review titled Disappointed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 May 2024
I very unexpectedly found out I was pregnant recently and sadly knew that it was the wrong time for me to have a baby. As I was sure of my decision I was understandably eager to get the process done as soon as possible. I completed the online form on the MSI website and an advisor called me 48hrs later. This is where the issues started. She was extremely patronising on the phone, not at all reassuring or compassionate as you would expect from somebody in this position. I was then booked a further phone consultation with a nurse but not for another week!! I got very upset at this point as another week to speak to a nurse, then another delay following this to collect the medication, I was potentially looking at another 10 days + for this to be over with. I was told by the advisor ‘well we do have the weekend coming up…’ it was Wednesday!! Also to note, I work as a midwife and I was finding it very difficult being at work in the situation I was in, which I explained to the advisor. I feel like MSI make you jump through hoops to access abortion care. I have no idea why you have to speak to an advisor and then a nurse! Cut out the initial consultation with an advisor and book it straight with a nurse to expedite the process! I ended up paying to go private for my abortion and the consultant I saw in the clinic actually works for MSI!! I had a next day appointment, a quick scan and the medication given to me and I was in the clinic for no longer than 30 mins! I felt safe and not judged. This is how easy it should be. Overall incredibly disappointed with how I was treated by MSI, who made an already very difficult time even more difficult.

Review titled Kind,understanding and professional practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 June 2024
A unplanned pregnancy resulted me to reach out to MSI reproductive choices. I received a phone call within 48 hours after completing the online consultation form. The lady on the phone was professional and assuring and confirmed an appointment for me within two days which was a massive relief. Although this decision wasn’t easy for me I went forward with a medical abortion. The midwife at the clinic was professional and gave me clear step by step instructions on what to do and expect during this time. I felt relived speaking to the midwife who was understanding and answered all the questions I had. After taking the first medication which was then followed by second medication 24 hours later cramping a lot stronger than period pain began with bleeding. My bleeding began and lasted just over 2 weeks. The bleeding started of heavy was a lot lighter on the second week and then suddenly got heavy again towards the end of the second week. This is when I called up the helpline number provided which is also 24/7 I was told to expect light bleeding and spotting up to a month. I realised having a bath and physical activity such as working long hours cause heavy bleeding to flow. So a few days off work would be beneficial.Everyone I spoke with was helpful kind and understanding. I am very grateful for each and everyone of you. Thank you

Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jordan - Posted on 24 April 2024
I had a bit of anxiety but the staff were excellent. The nurses/midwives were amazing throughout the procedure and really put me at ease. They were all great, including the aftercare and I although it’s not a very nice procedure (vasectomy) they made it good. The doctor was also very good at explaining everything and also helped put me at ease. They make this place great! Maidstone
