HOPE ABORTION CLINIC - BAD REVIEWS FORCED TO REMOVE WEBSITE
January 2019
It is the 26th year in our Lord, Small Victories continues the ground battle against this atrocity in Granite City, Illinois. Recently, we exposed the reviews from Hope Clinic .com to social media websites. Almost all were negative experiences and some just down right nasty about the treatment and conditions and dangerous abortion complications inside this Midwest largest late term sanctuary abortion mill where approx. 10,000 babies are murdered annually and Illinois taxpayers are forced to pay for everyone’s abortions. Within 48 hours Hope Clinic took their website down and replaced with no reviews just their hours basically and their motto. We just learned they posted several NEW reviews from Jan.2019 to cover their tracks. FAKE REVIEWS. Like FAKE NEWS. We then were notified Hope Clinic placed a tv ad encouraging viewers “if they don’t want to be pregnant to come to Hope Clinic in Granite City, Illinois and to view their new website” (which contained no reviews) ending with their motto. BOOM! Our exposure of the horrors and lies inside Hope Clinic forced them to their knees. Thank you, Lord, this abortion mill was built on lies and continues the spin of calling the deliberate murder of innocent babies, “a woman’s right to healthcare, or reproductive rights”. The recent 2018 abortion client reviews told a different and very concerning story. We will be posting on our website. Our ministry has been exposing the lies and deception of Hope Clinic for decades now. You can put up a fresh coat of purple paint trying to keep the facade going, but the truth is coming out of this two-million-dollar state of the art chop shop. Window dressing plain and simple. How you present the package determines the sell; the same with abortion. More inviting, more duped clients. Pictured here are current staff inside Hope Clinic including all four abortionists. Chief abortionist Yogendra A. Shah who had reviews of insulting patients, screaming hate at them in front of family members. Unlicensed workers, underperformance, rude and unprofessional behavior and care. Decomposing fetal body parts left inside patients causing complications and emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Just to name a few. We told you Hope Clinic hires right off the streets and trains everyone to assist in the abortions. It’s just cheaper than paying for professionals. As a matter of fact, employees are required to of had to undergone at least one abortion themselves in order to work inside Hope Clinic.
Since Hope Clinic removed reviews we have included them below;

I had an appointment Friday, August 24,2018. I drove 4 and half hours. I got to my appointment just to find out that the lady, who scheduled my appointment, did NOT give clear instructions. I arrived on time and was prepared to have my procedure done just to be told by security that I wasn't allowed in the building and that I had needed a driver, who had to stay for the entire procedure. Now with that being said, that was a first I heard of anything about my driver staying with me. So I proceeded to call the clinic and speak with someone to explain to me why wasn't that stressed to me so I made sure I was ready to go when I got there. The woman on the phone stated "she didn't know" but I couldn't stay. I remained calm and asked her if I could possibly make a few calls and get someone to come sit with me, she put me on hold and checked on that and returned to the phone to tell me "yes you have 30 minutes to do so". So I ended the call and made calls to find someone then call back to let the clinic know my driver was on there way, at the moment the woman put me on hold again then came back to the phone to tell me that the SUPERVISOR said NO and I needed to reschedule. At that very second I became livid, because I missed 10 hours of work that day, drove 4 and a half hours for this appointment, had to find a babysitter last minute for my daughter, and had just got off work at 11pm the night before, just to not get any rest nor my situation handled in a professional manner. I will never contact Hope Clinic of Granite City Illinois, ever again to do any type of business nor recommend anyone I know to them. I thought they were better and wayyyy more professional than this

We are sorry to hear about your experience. The Hope Clinic has a very strict driver policy for patients receiving sedation for safety reasons. But it seems your situation was not handled in a professional manner. We have since updated our driver policy and included clear instructions on our website so that hopefully other patients do not have the same experience. Thank you for your detailed feedback - it will not only alert patients to check out the driver policy prior to arrival but has improved care for future patients.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST CLINIC! Walked in for our 12:30 appointment to be greeted by over 50 people crammed into the small wiating room (which apparently has a MOLD PROBLEM which requires additional waivers when filling out paper work). Waited nearly 3 hours before finally getting ultrasound, while patients who had seemingly just arrived were waited on before those who had been there since before NOON. Total commotion in wiating room. Overcrowded and nurses completely unprofessional, even spiteful. No attention to detail. Nurses didn't even verify birthdays, watched two patients with same first name became mixed up and ultrasounds/medical history was not only swapped but divulged to wrong party....a pretty INCREDIBLE MISTAKE when given the type of clinic and the procedures being performed. Experience only got worse as we continued to go thru the waiting process. After making payments and recieving take home medication, patient was asked to wait for doctor in order to take first pill. Instead patient had to wait 3 hours in bright solitary room waiting for doctor to finally come in so she could literally swallow a pill and leave. When I asked the nurses what status was of patient and what wait time I should expect before she could leave, I was told she would be out in a few minutes time. When I simply inquired again as to the nature of the 3 hour wait for a pill, they threaten to KICK US OUT OR RESCHEDULE US and make us spend another 8 hour period ... in which both of us had to take off work to even make this work. Awful experience. Would never recommend. Nurses are spiteful and like to use ANY BIT OF POWER they have at disposal...when patients need compassion and EMPATHY. Completely overbooked and unprofessional. P.S. For what it matters doctor was very nice and apologized profusely for wait.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

We are sorry for your experience. We are undergoing construction and repairs of storm damage and it has made for a short time of limited space. The staff are all committed and compassionate about their work. We strive to make the (sometimes long) visit with us the best it can be in a stressful situation and we clearly fell short in your case. We appreciate your feedback so we can make improvements.
See this link to the kind of care we are known for and hope to give in all situations.

Workers are non chalant and have a lack of knowledge when it comes to resources that are listed on their website.Very dismissive with phone conversations when asking questions and needing answers.Seems to have a staffing issue.When I called to see about rescheduling, I was told that “I’m in the middle of checking patients in, I will have to call you back later”, very unprofessional and never in my life have I been told this from a doctors office.

Your feedback is very important. Thank you. We will be having a training with the front desk staff this afternoon to respond to these issues so they aren’t affecting more patients. We are sorry for your experience.

Response from the owner5 months ago
We are clearly falling short if this is how you felt at our facility. We work hard to treat each patient individually and with care and compassion. Our employees are dedicated and feel very strongly about the work that they do. We will make sure to portray this to patients more effectively. We don't ever want anyone to feel alone. Thank you for your feedback.

I had an appointment today which went well. But no one told me there would be a bunch of protesters waiting to judge you. But luckily they had volunteers to get you from your car to the place which really helped. I was there for maybe 3 hours but the wait wasn’t long. The people there were so nice and friendly and once I actually got in, a lot of those nervous jitters went away. I would recommend them if you choose to go this route but I will say taking someone with you will help you through it more. Unfortunately I went alone but they ppl there took very good care of me.
Response from the owner9 months ago
So sorry you were harassed outside. We do usually have protestors and they are legally able to be there. But this is your private decision and once you get inside we work to take the best care of you in a NO JUDGEMENT zone. We support you 100 percent whatever your decision. Thank you for your feedback.

Fake clinic, religious motivated. If you need an abortion don't go there!
Response from the owner7 months ago
I’m sorry but this just is untrue. We are not religiously affiliated and we do offer abortion care in this facility. You may have confused us with a different location as there are many “fake” clinics out there.

I went to hope clinic for my abortion I was scared at first due to the fact I was pregnant and already had three young children under the age of five . The employees at hope was understanding and gave me a peace of mind. I would tell anyone to go to hope clinic . The hope site is also helpful with finding funds to get the abortion.

I took a 16 year old family member here on the morning of 1/13/18. The counselor was great and sensitive to the child’s age and mental state, however the the male Indian physician was insensitive, rough and disrespectful towards my family member.He treated her like garbage and was very unapologetic about it. He even came out into the hallway screaming and yelling! I would not recommend any woman receive services at this clinic!
Response from the ownera year ago
I am sorry to hear this was your experience. We all really care about our patients and their wellbeing physically and mentally at all times. Thank you for your honest and timely feedback as it will only help us improve our care and make sure no one has a similar experience.

The counselor Hannah was nice, but my friends comfort shot was botched and she felt the whole procedure. The nurse stuck her 5 seperate times in both arms with the IV port because she was distracted talking to the people around her and then proceeded to blame my friend for it. When we were told we'd be refunded our 60 dollars they took it back and claimed they gave her the comfort shot in her cervix along with the numbing shot. If they couldve just given it to her in her cervix then why did my friend have to get stabbed so many times with the IV port? Why did she feel the whole procedure if they supposedly gave her the shot after all? Why did they offer us a refund if they honest to god really did give her the comfort shot? She had a complete meltdown afterwards and had to have the counselor come down to the recovery room to talk to her. I do not recommend this place.
EDIT: its been 6 days since my friends procedure. Ive been at Missouri Baptist hospital since noon today with her because shes having complications. Shes been soaking through 2-3 pads every hour since yesterday. The people at the ER say she needs a D&C because theres still "product" in her uterus. This has been the hardest experience for her. I have to take her to St. Clair tomorrow for another procedure. I DO NOT recommend Hope Clinic whatsoever.
Response from the owner9 months ago
We will look into all of this. It sounds like very bad communication from our staff. It is true we do not offer general or deep sedation and can certainly make referrals to facilities that are able to offer that. On the other hand if she did not receive the moderate sedation or “comfort shot” as planned then she should absolutely be given a refund. We will make sure this is fixed ASAP. Our mission is to provide the best care to patients at all times in compassionate manner.

unbelievably stupid regulations about cars.
Response from the owner6 months ago
Not sure exactly what this is in reference to, but we do require patients have a driver/guest with a car or a safe mode of transportation home if they are receiving sedation. This is truly for the safety of the patient. We don’t want anyone driving or taking other transportation by themselves after being heavily sedated for a procedure. We are so sorry if this caused an inconvenience. We know how hard it is to access healthcare these days and aren’t purposely trying to make it any harder.

On the website I seen that it says if you live in Illinois they accept Medicaid now but I know other places accept Medicaid if the pregnancy is due to rape or if it puts the mother or baby in danger so I was wondering if this is the same for them or if they accept it even out of those conditions?
Response from the owner9 months ago
Please refer to our website. http://www.hopeclinic.com/illinois-residents/
There is no specific criteria to meet except to be an Illinois resident and have active Illinois Medicaid. Hope that answers your question.

The experience at this clinic was not very good, they wouldn't allow anyone to be with me through out the whole entire process. They isolate you the whole entire time, their counseling is done by people that are immature. The person that I did my "counseling" with acted like a young teenager, when I looked at her office her calender looked like a teenager had wrote it out with little sketches all over it. Why would anyone want to talk about such a touchy subject with someone so immature appearing. The workers were rude while they were doing lab tests on you they chated with the other worker there, ignoring you pretending you were not there....By the end of all the hoops and experiences at this clinic I was too mad to think straight and make a proper decision
