Several Planned Parenthood facilities in the state of Washington have received poor client reviews online, dating back several years — so many, that there isn’t enough space here to publish every negative review for all the Planned Parenthoods in the state. But some in particular stand out.
1. Bellevue, WA: Planned Parenthood’s Eastside-Bellevue Health Center, located at 14730 NE 8th St. in Bellevue, is operated by Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands. In 2015, Planned Parenthood’s Issaquah Health Center merged with Eastside-Bellevue Health Center, which opened the previous year. The facility commits both medication abortions (up to 10 weeks) and surgical abortions (up to 13 weeks 6 days).
For this center, Yelp lists two negative reviews for 2017 and two for 2015 — the most recent being posted days ago.
November 2017: “Planned Parenthood, I will no longer stand by you.”

While some Planned Parenthood clients also left positive reviews, many were negative.
In addition to the above postings, several client complaints seemed to stem from long wait times, while many others were related to billing issues.
Live Action News has published claims made by former Planned Parenthood staffers who accused the abortion corporation of fraud. In 2015, seven former Planned Parenthood (PPFA) employees informed the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations that Planned Parenthood should be investigated for a number of potentially criminal and fraudulent acts. These former employees told Committee members in a formal letter that because Planned Parenthood receives half a billion in taxpayer funding annually, Planned Parenthood should “[…] merit close Government attention as to whether or not these funds are being spent appropriately.”
It was about the money, the employees said, not healthcare:
In an op-ed, former Iowa PP manager Sue Thayer wrote in 2017:
Planned Parenthood advertises that services and supplies are free, but when Medicaid-eligible women are served, it is expected they donate fifty percent of the total cost for the visit….
“Planned Parenthood counted those payments as voluntary donations and billed the full amount to Medicaid,” Thayer recounted in her 2015 testimony, adding, “There is a reason that, despite technically being a nonprofit, Planned Parenthood has reported $765 million in excess revenue over the last 10 years. It is run very much like a business – focused on increasing revenues, placing its own bottom line above the interests of women. And yet leadership would take expensive trips to Europe and Russia and throw elaborate parties at fancy venues.”
