Long-Acting Reversible Contraception
IUD Consultation
& Insertion
IUD insertion doesn't have to be painful. We use modern comfort techniques — including Nitrous Oxide sedation, heating pads, TENS therapy, and cervical blocks — as standard during every procedure. Schedule a consultation to explore your options with a provider who prioritizes your comfort.
Book 24/7 online or send us a message — we typically respond within one business day.
IUD Options We Offer
We provide both hormonal and non-hormonal IUDs. Your provider will help you choose what's best for you.
Hormonal IUD
Releases a small amount of progestin locally. Can lighten periods or stop them entirely. Options include Mirena/Liletta (up to 8 years), Kyleena (up to 5 years), and Skyla (up to 3 years).
Copper IUD (Paragard)
A hormone-free option that uses copper to prevent pregnancy. Ideal for those who prefer to avoid hormonal methods. Effective for up to 10 years.
IUD Consultation
Not sure which type is right for you? We'll review your health history, discuss your goals, and help you make an informed decision — no pressure, no rush.
Removal & Replacement
Whether you're ready to try for pregnancy, switch methods, or replace an expiring device, we provide comfortable removal and same-visit reinsertion if desired.
Your Comfort Is Our Standard
Modern Pain Management, Not an Afterthought
We believe no one should dread their IUD appointment. That's why we offer advanced comfort measures as part of every procedure — not as an add-on or exception.
Nitrous Oxide
Breathe it in during the procedure for calm and relaxation. Wears off within minutes. You will need to bring a driver. $50 fee for required single-use mask.
TENS Therapy
Gentle electrical stimulation that blocks pain signals during the procedure for real-time relief. No extra charge.
Heating Pads
Applied during your procedure to relax muscles and ease discomfort naturally. No extra charge.
Cervical Block
Local anesthetic applied to the cervix to significantly reduce sensation during insertion. No extra charge.
Want to discuss your comfort options before your procedure? Book a Sedation Gynecology Consultation so we can build a comfort plan that's right for you — in office or via telehealth.
