planned parenthood

Hey guys, I'm usually a lurker, but I just had a question.

I just sent in a request online for an appointment at Planned Parenthood for an annual exam (I haven't had one in about 2 years) and to be tested for STI/STD's, just to be on the safe side. I've heard that it is free, but their website said it's only free for low income patients, is it expensive if you aren't? Do you have to have health insurance? What are their doctors like, are they good?

I've only gone to one gyno, and that was the doctor that came to my university every month to do check ups on the students, so I was just hoping to get some feedback from some of you that have had exams at Planned Parenthood.

I'm going to the Seattle Clinic in Washington if any of you have been there too.

Thanks in advance!

Because Planned Parenthood's funding sources differ greatly around the country, the services they can offer for free or a reduced fee, or even whether or not they can offer those services for free or a reduced fee varies greatly from place to place. Your best source of information for your question would be to call your local Planned Parenthood and find out, or check out their website and see what they offer.
