Planned Parenthood Pacific Beach Express Mimi Brien Center

I went there without an appoiment and they assisted me anyway. All professionals there made me feel confortable and were really helpfull. I was really well assisted!!! Fantastic clinic!!!

Went in and was hassled by the medical ASSISTANT about getting a chlamydia and gonorrhea test. Told her I didn’t need one she said well it’s best to do it so we’re going to do it anyway before you leave with your medication.

I called, and had to wait for about 10 minutes before I could talk to someone. While I was explaining why I wanted to see the doctor, she just hang up on me. I didn’t call again because of the long waiting time.

What a fantastic clinic, with a very friendly helpful staff! I was really impressed with what I was able to get from this PP. Growing up, Planned Parenthood was such a stigmatized and shameful place to be spending time at, and I am glad I can now free myself from such pre-​conceptions.
I made an appt about 2 days before through the website, came ten minutes late, but was still able to be helped promptly. Because I am a college student, everything I received was free-​of-​charge (income = $ 0). The nurses are very knowledgable and truly care about the safety and health of their patients; my consultation was thorough, non-​invasive, and easy!
It makes sense that PP encourages donations, and I was more than happy to comply.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend; especially for issues with confidentiality in the family
ALSO: the tiny clinic is on the corner of a road, hidden behind a bunch of residential homes.

Everyone here was extremely professional, helpful and friendly. I don’t think my visit could have gone any better unless they gave me money for some reason, which they actually kind of did because they gave me a bunch of free condoms and lube. Whoohoo! Went here to get tested for STIs and just want to say that if you’re a dude, it’s SUPER easy and painless – just a quick gum swab and pee in a cup. Don’t wait to get tested and if you’re in the area, I highly recommend this place and, yes, you can park in the spots out front. There’s only two, so you may have to park on the streets if they’re both full, but yeah, the staff and the clinician (s) are top notch.

Very friendly staff. I made an appointment for a birth control refill. I was in and out in 10 minutes. All around great staff, professional atmosphere, and good quality service.
I have had pap smears, breast cancer checks, and all my birth control needs from several different San Diego planned parenthoods. They really are an incredible organization that helps women in need.
5 stars for this location and millions of stars for Planned Parenthood!

If I can give this place 10 stars, I seriously would!
So I was in a hurry for some birth control pills and I stopped by this place on a quite late afternoon. I know I should have called first, I gotta wait a little bit but they made it all easy and nice. If you are a new patient, you will be required to do a STI test (you can check your result online 1 week after that, very safe and sound) Then they will meet you in a private room and counsel you on which type you should take.
Finally they gave me 1 year supply of birth control, some plan B pills and condoms. All for free, because I am a low income student. How awesome is that? I wish I had known this earlier because I had been paying for my pills for a long time. So make sure you ask for that when you walk up to the counter!
All the people there were so nice, caring and friendly. I was very pleased with their service.

It was my first time going into a planned parenthood and absolutely scared out of my mind. However the staff was very friendly and informative; they definitely quieted my fears. The wait was as long as it took me to fill out the paperwork which was just one sheet. Since I was under the age of 18 and thus without my parents technically had no income I was able to get a years worth of birth control pills, 2 packs of plan B, and lots of condoms, all for free. There was no physical exam required at all, just a few questions about my health history, pretty standard and a urine test. All in all, very very great. I would not hesitate to go back.

I’m really glad that there’s a really fast Planned Parenthood clinic, especially in PB, because as the saying goes, «if you fail to plan, then plan to fail.»
Preventing unplanned parenthood and a nasty case of blue waffle is key to maintaining a carefree young adult lifestyle.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself… or someone else.

Knowing what goes on in those depraved bars that line Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach, I have to applaud Planned Parenthood for putting an Express in the beach community. I am sure that there are many emergencies that occur after a night of drinking and flirting. I say this not in demeaning manner, but I once was younger and can recall some memories still-​LOL. Now my friend and neighbor has a very «social» young daughter who needs rides to this PB clinic for refills on her birth control pills and other «prescriptions» so I have been to the PB Express office a few times.
It is a smaller Planned Parenthood and quite low-​key-​squeezed into a building just off busy Ingraham Street. If you weren’t especially looking for it, you might miss the PP Express completely. Yesterday at my Woman’s Group, we had Planned Parenthood come out and give a talk on their organization. It was very informative and insightful. Planned Parenthood has lots of locations all over San Diego. Even if you don’t agree with all the services they provide-​as I now do, having become a more devout Christian-​the organization certainly provides incalculable help for many different problems. I asked the speaker what is the difference between an Express Planned Parenthood office and a regular one? She told me that at the Expresses, they don’t do medical exams that require removing your clothes.
Listening to the presentation yesterday, I was absolutely shocked at the crisis in STD’s and the fact that people ages 15 – 24 have the highest % growth in getting them. Planned Parenthood is very proactive in getting the word out about how to prevent STD’s with outreach, education and condoms! HIV, HPV, and Hepatitis testing is available. Women looking to avoid unplanned pregnancies can get free birth control and prescriptions. I was shocked when the speaking group passed out flavored condoms. I never knew they were now making condoms in cherry and mint!
Men’s Services and LGBT Services are offered. No need for me to worry about PG stuff anymore but I applaud Planned Parenthood Express for being right there where it is needed. And for all the valuable work they do-​despite the debate about some of it– 5 Unilocal STARS!

The «Express» drew me in, the free condoms kept me coming back for more. Very convenient.
