Okay, so the other day I had to head over to Planned Parenthood on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. Here’s how it went down.
First off, I found the address: 1511 West Broad Street. Easy enough, right? I needed to get some info on birth control and also wanted to get tested for STDs, just to be safe. When I got there, I noticed the place is called the Franklinton Health Center. Good to know.
Before going, I checked if I needed an appointment. Turns out, you can book one or just call them for more details. Their phone number is (614) 222-3525. I decided to call ahead because I had a bunch of questions.
- I asked about the types of birth control they offered.
- I also inquired about the process for STD testing.
- And, of course, I wanted to know about their hours.
The person on the phone was super helpful. They answered all my questions and even gave me some extra info I hadn’t thought of. They mentioned that Planned Parenthood is a big deal when it comes to healthcare, which I kinda already knew, but it was reassuring to hear.
When I arrived, I saw a sign saying they accept Ambetter, among other insurances, which was a relief. I filled out some forms and waited for my turn. The waiting room was pretty chill, and I didn’t have to wait too long.
The staff were all really nice and professional. They made sure I understood everything and answered any last-minute questions I had. I got my STD test done, and they explained how I’d get the results. They also talked me through my birth control options and helped me pick what was best for me.
Overall, it was a smooth experience. I left feeling informed and taken care of. If you’re in Columbus and need any of these services, I definitely recommend checking out the Planned Parenthood on West Broad Street. Just remember to call ahead or book an appointment to make things even easier.
