Other Services

Sonography

Sonography (ultrasound) uses sound waves to create a “picture” of a pregnancy. Ultrasound examinations can more accurately determine gestational age or size of the pregnancy. We recommend a sonogram for those patients who are unaware of the date of their last menstrual period. The fee is $85. If you choose to have an abortion, the fee will be deducted from the surgical fee.

GYN Clinic

The gynecology appointment includes a gyn exam, PAP smear, breast exam, lab work and urinalysis. Contraceptive options are discussed with a counselor. The fee is $110.

STD Screening

Hillcrest's comprehensive STD screening includes testing for HIV, GC, Chlamydia and syphilis. The fee is $150.

DMPA

DMPA, also known as the “birth control shot”, is a hormonal method of birth control. An injection is given every 3 months. It is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. The fee for DMPA is $70.

IUD

IUD stands for intrauterine device. The copper IUD is a very convenient, highly effective, reversible form of contraception. The IUD is indicated for 10 years of use, but may be removed at any time by a health care professional. The fee is $600.

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception is popularly known as the “morning after pill”. The consistent use of a contraceptive before sex is the best way to protect yourself from an unwanted pregnancy. If you have had unprotected intercourse in the past 72 hours and you are certain that you do not desire to be pregnant, you may want to consider using Emergency Contraception Pills. The fee is $50.

Counseling Services

Hillcrest offers a wide range of counseling services available at no charge. Crisis counseling is offered to women who have had a positive pregnancy test and would like to discuss the alternatives to an unplanned pregnancy. Extensive referrals are available for adoption services, prenatal care, second trimester abortions and social services. Friends and relatives who accompany an abortion patient may also meet with a counselor to gain knowledge about the procedure and how they may assist the patient during her recovery.

Community Outreach

Our Community Educator is available to facilitate small or large community groups discussing such topics as teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, birth control and other women's issues. Audio-visual and resource materials are available through the Community Educator's office.
