This is NOT a REAL MEDICAL FACILITY!!!
I have gone to this "pregnancy center 3 times during my adult life. The first time I had no idea what this place really was. The second time I went I was a little older and wiser, but still very much uneducated on what this "clinic" does. My second visit, I had just found out I was pregnant with my now exes child. Needing verification of my pregnancy, I went to this "clinic" and tested positive. This is supposed to be a simple 20 mins testing and paperwork. Once I stated i was thinking about an abortion, it turned into a 2 hour appointment. I was told I was evil, and a sinner. I was degraded. I was told that they could provide classes for couples so "we could be a nuclear family", after I told them he was in prison for abusing me while pregnant. They actively pushed me to stay with my abuser while providing papers for our local domestic violence shelter, Genesis House . Ironic to say the least. The receptionist gave me my pregnancy test. Weird for a "medical facility". There are no doctors or nurses in the facility. My verification was pre-filled out and signed by a radiology doctor from Sheffield Village.
Upon my 3rd visit to this facility, I knew I would test negative, but wanted to go again with clearer eyes on what this place really is. The receptionist again gave me my pregnancy test. This time I realized that there are ZERO computers for your medical files. The receptionist, Debra Gall actually signed paperwork as "Dr. Debra Gall". When I went home, I looked her up under the Ohio online medical license website and they had no license in the state of Ohio. I again received pre-signed paperwork for a doctor I had never seen. They took zero medical history from me. After my appointment was over the "Doctor" decided to pray with me.
The next day i received a text from a number asking if I had gone to my appointment, now a real medical facility would know that you had gone to you appointment. They wanted me to text them back private medical information, if I had decided to place my baby up for adoption, had an abortion, keeping the pregnancy. They wanted this through a TEXT message. Never have I had a doctor ask me for medical information through text messages. Plus I had tested negative for a pregnancy. They should know this, so why are they asking me what I am doing with a pregnancy I am not having?
The following business day i decided to call the "abortion reversal pill" hotline that Cornerstone promotes in their facility. I told this hotline I had a medication abortion at 9 a.m. that day. They referred me back to Cornerstone to obtain a prescription for their "abortion reversal pill". I had a prescription from Dr. James Matheson in 15 mins. Never saw or spoke with this doctor. He had no medical history and I had JUST TESTED NEGATIVE for a pregnancy in the same office that is giving me multiple medications to "reverse my abortion" I never had. And the abortion reversal pill does not work. Giving false hope to someone that may regret their abortion the same day. This is a dangerous practice. This can cause people to take their lives or have a reaction to a medication without a full medical history. Never seeing a real doctor. They have no computers storing your medical records. It is all paper. They can destroy paperwork.
This clinic is using YOUR state tax dollars to operate. I have saved all messages and emails from Cornerstone as proof as well. Again, THIS IS NOT A REAL MEDICAL FACILTY!!!!

I used to volunteer in different ways to help Cornerstone. They are an amazing group of people who truly care about people and want what’s best for them. They are not pushy, but are there to help those in need and help them out of potentially bad situations.
