MSI Brisbane Abortion & Contraception Clinic

I had a surgical termination with marie stopes on the 8th of june. Once the procedure was done and i went home i was bleeding from the backside. I was in a lot of pain, with the amount of blood i seen i went straight to emergency. Finding out i had a large tear in my backside. The nurse told me this was caused from them being extremely rough during the procedure. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to ANYONE!

Would not recommend coming here at all especially to have a surgical termination. There are now many places that can provide this treatment that will provide you with exceptional care unlike MSI. I Had a surgical termination in the beginning of October. 2 weeks later I had heavy bleeding and couldn’t get through to the after care line that was provided by them so I went to the emergency department. The doctors told me that there were contents of conception left behind sizing up to 41cm/s and that having two surgeries close together increases my risk of infertility. In the end the only management to reduce the risk of infection and the highest rate of success was surgery. Overall they charged me $800 for a surgery that they said had gone to plan when in fact it did not. There are more details I could go into of negligence but the most important facts I have stated.

These guys were amazing from start to finish. They were very clear and concise with all the information provided to me and I was not left waiting long at all for the actual procedure. All the nurses, doctors and admin staff I dealt with were lovely. I would definitely recommend this clinic to other people who require their services. They made me feel very comfortable.

I underwent my surgical abortion last Friday the 10th of November, All seemed to be going exceptionally well. I was treated kindly and felt comfortable and welcomed, Although it was a sad and stressful time i felt i was in a safe space. However i wasn’t and am unhappy with how the procedure was done and what went wrong to cause this. I left the clinic in no pain, light bleeding was all and just disoriented from the anaesthetic but all seemed to be fine. I was told i would be discharged with pain medication to take home, However i wasn’t. The same night i all of a sudden started to get extremely excruciating contractions in my uterus, Now to my understanding obviously slight cramping and discomfort was known to be normal after having this procedure. However the pain i experienced was like no other, I am honestly scarred from this pain and never want to go through a traumatic experience like that again. It felt like my insides were being ripped apart over and over, Contractions type of feeling but 10x worse, I was shaking in coldness but sweating, rocking back and forth, screaming in pain like never before. I called an ambulance and was immediately taken to emergency department. As i sat there in pain , vomiting blood, horrible bleeding and discomfort. I was immediately admitted to hospital as a patient, with multiple blood tests, Multiple pain killers (Fentanyl, Morphine , Endone , Codeine) i was given all of this painkillers and nothing helped with the pain , I then had to have ultrasounds , an internal ultrasound as the doctors thought it was a possibility that the termination was unsuccessful and there could of possibly been scar tissue left that was causing the pain however nothing was seen on the ultrasound. I did multiple other tests and swabs , then to find out the doctors expressing extreme concern of the look of my uterus and cervix by having the internal ultrasound and papsmear, my uterus being so inflamed and infected from this procedure. I was then diagnosed officially with the uterus infection called Edometritis. , I was in hospital from friday night (day of the procedure) till Tuesday morning, On multiple pain medications, and the strongest antibiotics through a drip and cannula in my arm for 3 days straight In the worst unbearable pain i’ve ever experienced in my life. It’s now been a week since the procedure and i am still having bad pains and issues , This infection i was told by the doctor that if i had stayed at home and tried to sleep it off ect, and never went to hospital could of caused long term effects such as infertility. This isn’t what i expected from this procedure at all and how i have been diagnosed with such a serious cervix and uterus infection is beyond me, was your equipment not sterilised? What was it. Not to mention the fact. no follow up calls have been made, no contact has been made, Absolutely nothing. And the fact there is no direct number to call , other than the main one which you are on hold for for over an hour is ridiculous. This experience has quite literally traumatised me and i wouldn’t wish this pain or experience upon anybody.

I was treated very well from the reception until the end of my procedure (IUD replacement). I felt secure because everything was explained very clearly by the nurses and doctor. All the professionals were very careful, loving, and friendly with me. I would like to know the names of all of them to mention here in gratitude, but unfortunately, I only know the ones mentioned on my invoice, Dr. Nicole Drever and Dr. Jacqueline Lippiatt. Thank you very much to them. I definitely recommend the clinic and will return.

Now I can only say as a review from dropping my daughter off at bowen hills, Marie stopes and the information that I had required to making the appointment. I booked my daughter in here and upon calling them for an abortion that depending where your at in your pregnancy stage it does range in cost. The earlier you are the cheaper it is but my daughter was 13 weeks and we paid $550 with $100 deposit. After 14 weeks your going into the $1000+ range. The website says you will need a support person which you will afterwards due to slight drowsiness etc. There is NO parking there, I found the closest parking is on hurworth street (paid parking) just 3min walking distance if you get close enough, but you can park in the driveway if your picking up only. They gave me good enough information when I called them. So I was quite happy for my daughter to come here and hoped everything went well although it's a pity as a support person you can't go in with them. As other reviews prior stated the building looks rundown and is in need of a major maintenance clean up out the front. Other then that seemed like our experience was good
