Buffalo Women Services

What Buffalo Women Services does

Buffalo Women Services is an independent OB/GYN medical practice headquartered in Buffalo, NY, founded in 1983 and led by Dr. Katharine Morrison. The practice provides abortion care spanning medication abortion up to 10 weeks gestation, surgical abortion up to 22 weeks gestation, pre- and post-procedure counseling, and financial assistance navigation for patients who lack coverage. It serves a regional catchment that includes New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania — a footprint shaped by post-Dobbs patient flow from neighboring restrictive states into New York. Care is delivered through in-clinic visits and, more recently, an online medication abortion channel that extends the practice beyond its physical location. The organization is a member of the Abortion Care Network and works with Partners For Choice on web and SEO presence to drive patient acquisition.
