In-person evaluation at a licensed Georgia clinic is strongly recommended to ensure compliance with current state law. Georgia's LIFE Act requires gestational confirmation before abortion medication is prescribed, and an on-site ultrasound is the standard way to verify eligibility. Tara Gynecology [OBGYN], LLC performs that ultrasound at your first visit. Review the abortion services page  or call 770-991-0041.

A surgical abortion at Tara Gynecology is a brief, in-office procedure performed by a board-certified OBGYN. Beforehand, the team reviews your medical history, performs an on-site ultrasound, and completes required lab work. Georgia law requires a 24-hour waiting period after counseling, so you may need two visits or a same-day consultation and a scheduled return. The D&C (dilation and curettage) is followed by a recovery period. See the abortion procedures page.

No overnight stay is required for a surgical abortion at Tara Gynecology [OBGYN], LLC. Surgical abortion procedures offered at the clinic are performed on an outpatient, same-day basis at the Riverdale facility. Patients typically rest briefly in a recovery area after the procedure before being discharged. It is advisable to arrange for a trusted person to drive you home following the appointment. Call 770-991-0041 to ask about same-day scheduling availability.
