Appointment Policies and Information

Telehealth appointments are available for some services at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast Virtual Health Center of Texas.

Childcare Policies

We’re unable to provide childcare at our health center. For safety reasons children need to be accompanied by an adult when they’re in the waiting room. Only infants can accompany you to the exam room. Please bring a friend or family member to be with your children if you don’t have childcare at home.

Only infants and toddlers in a car seat or stroller are allowed in the exam room. Please make arrangements for childcare for any other children.

Services Offered

You can fill your birth control prescriptions at our health center instead of the pharmacy. Birth control refills are available during all business hours.

You can come to us for services that don’t require a medical exam. For example, birth control education and supplies; emergency contraception (AKA the morning after pill); pregnancy testing and counseling; STD testing, and testing and treatments for urinary tract infections.

If you are under 18, please read facts about minor consent.

All new and returning patients and all guests must provide a photo ID.
