We offer many different contraceptive methods to our HerMD patients. We are proud to offer both hormonal and non-hormonal options, and we work with our patients to determine a method that fits with their lifestyle.

How effective is contraception?

The exact efficacy depends on the type of contraception used, but most contraceptive methods are highly (around 90-99%) effective when used as instructed.

What are the most common side effects of contraception?

The most common side effects depend on the type of contraception utilized. In patients who experience side effects, most are short-lived. The most common side effects of contraceptive pills include: breast tenderness, nausea, and mood changes.

    It’s been a year since I started going to HerMD. My friend at work recommended the practice to me and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I walk in the door, I’m made to feel as if I’m the most important client they have. Michelle is one of the most caring people, understanding and compassionate. Best practice in the area!

  • Mary Beth Hoss


    I had a phenomenal experience at HerMD. Everyone was so kind and helpful, and I didn’t feel intimated walking into such a beautiful space. Kendra (RN) was TOP NOTCH! She’s had many years of injecting experience and was so kind, sincere, and most importantly, she listened to my concerns! She gave me a natural cheek which is ann area I really dislike about myself. I highly recommend this med spa, and I’ve visited many in the past! Don’t let the location or construction scare you!
