I Have Got to Find a GREAT OB/GYN in Dallas

I would strongly recommend Robert Bender in Plano (Plano Medical Center is where is office is located). He has stepped out of the OB aspect to focus his pratice on the GYN part of the medicine! I have been to him for several reasons over the years and have recommended him over the years to friends. They all have be very happy. Good luck!

Dr. Evans at Presby Dallas!!!!!! If you prefer a woman, his partner Dr. Daros is supremely compassionate. I can't say enough about how happy I have been with both of them. Good luck!

Hi Allyson,
I know you received a lot of responses, but I wanted to let you know I had the same problem. I went through the pill (every brand), the patch, etc. I just can't do hormones. My dr, who was frustrated with my problem sent me to Dr. Maria Reyes and she took care of me. As a matter of fact she and Dr. Elizabeth Stevens share their practice. I noticed someone else suggested Dr. Stevens (she's great too....she was on call and delivered my 22 month old)!! I now have the copper IUD (NO HORMONES). I am happy!! Either choice is a great one: Dr. Stevens or Dr. Reyes (Dr. Reyes # is ###-###-####). Good luck!!

I cannot recommend them highly enough, once you go there, you will never go anywhere else! The midwives at Allen Birthing Center!

They can do every practical thing a doctor can do, only more safely, they know natural and prescription remedies, they do full spectrum well-women health for all ages, they do pre and post natal care and of course birth babies! They are ALL so nice, prompt, acurate, attentive, smart, they listen, they care, they go out of their way for you in every area-even billing and such--they are very reasonable, as well! Just visit once and you'll be hooked, I promise!

I transferred to them mid-pregnancy with my fourth child, I ended up being a little late and needed a c-section, but Becky delivered me vaginally with her incredible skill and patience. I walked home that night and was cleaning a little the next day, I felt so great! I had three hospital babies, but never again!
I went back for pap-smears, physicals, a lump I found, hormones, they can do it all. They even do the lab work right there!

They are all so kind and phenominal, I'm treated like a Queen!

Please let me know if you find a doctor like this!!! I too HATE hormones. I do have a doctor I like for deliveries...but my options seem to be get cut or the pill.

I hope to only have a female OB/Gyn from now on. Love having a dr. that can relate. Jennifer Freeman is excellent--smart, on top of all that's new for women, listens, takes time, very personable. Friendly staff too. Dr. Freeman is at Presby Dallas. Also, a great doctor but less personable is Dr. Crockett.

I have the same feelings about many doctors. I LOVED my OB and she just retired to stay home with her kids. So, I can't wait to see the responses you get. I am in LH too and I do know there are a lot af doctors at Presby that my friends say they love but since mine retired I don't really have names. I wish I could help more. Good luck!

A.,

Another "best" that is my OB is the docs at Dr. Waldrep's practice at Med City. My doc is a newer doc named Dr. Sahn McGowan. The practice is very well respected and everyone in the office has been wonderful and really organized. Good Luck!

Hey A.,

I have been seeing a WONDERFUL OB/GYN for the last 2.5 years now. I was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago (so I understand issues with hormones) and it took 2 years of infertility treatments to have our daughter. I just had our 2 baby 4 months ago and told my doctor that I would not be going back on the pill as I had a HORRIBLE experience on several different versions of it (I am also certain that it's what triggered my PCOS issues because until I went on them I never had any problems). He was very supportive, listened to what I had to say, and gave me multiple options (while explaining the pluses and minuses to each). He staff is AMAZING as well. When I got pregnant on my own the second time they rushed me in to do blood work to make sure all was well (I had two miscarriages before my daughter). They call back after hours to give results as well. At one point during my first pregnancy we thought we were losing her, and I called in a state of panic around 2am. He calmed me down, then had me come in first thing in the morning (I could have gone to the ER, but if I were truly miscarrying there would have been nothing they could have done). He and the staff were awesome through the whole thing. They were also able to fit my mom into a very busy schedule (she lives overseas)without any issues, and ask about her constantly when she is gone. His name is Dr. Fong and his office is right next to Medical Center of Plano. That may be too far away for you, but I had to mention him just in case. Good luck and I hope you are able to find the doctor that works best for you!

Best wishes!

I recommend Dr. Frances Crites at Presbyterian - Dallas. Don't know about the medicines - but she is very open.

Also, she gets you in and out -- I have never had to wait that long - even if I call because I have an issue and need to be seen that day.

Here is a great doctor, dr. Yolanda lawson, 3310 live oak, dallas, texas. She has polite bed-side manners and listens to you patiencely. I keeping on asking her to be my internal medicine doctor. Make an appointment with her she will not regret-it. 1-###-###-#### ob/gyn.....i have been with dr. Lawson for 7 years. It feels like all my life. You could not ask for anyone as precious as she.......grateful yours, J. roberts oct.26,2008

I also Recommend Dr. Hagood. Always listens, great advice, calm manner. I really like the other doctors in the practice and her nurses are the best. They call you back the same day and will call you back just to answer questions.

I have sent a number of friends who have wanted to change doctors to this practice and everyone has been happy.

Good luck

Dr Hagood ###-###-####

I am in LOVE with my OB/GYN. She is in her early 40s and has two children of her own. Her staff is just as excellent as she is. I have sent several friends to her and they all love her too. She has been through endometriosis with me and 3 miscarriages. I adore her so much that I came home for my appointments with her while I lived in London for 3 years. Her name is Dr. Tracy Hays. She is off of Washington near Baylor. Her number is ###-###-####. Good luck!

Dr. Kurian at Baylor in Mesquite. She also has an office in Medical City.

###-###-####

She has hugged me while I cried, knew my name before she came in to an appointment, and remembers every last detail about me.

Great gyno!

Try Dr. Jan Goss, at MCD. She's wonderful, and has made the "best ob/gyns" in the country. She's caring, attentive, readily available, and works with you to create a plan that you like. She treated me when I had some real problems, and there have been times I stopped at her office without an appointment, because I needed some questions answered, and she actually took the time to listen to my concerns!

S.

You might try Tara Dullye MD. She is great and is at Presby Dallas. Good Luck!

I personally see Dr. Kristi Ryder at Northlake OB/GYN. They are at Medical City in Dallas. I think she is great and she really listens. When I go in for my appointment I am usually back with a nurse within 10 minutes of my scheduled time. She is kind of yound but there are several other doctors in the practive. A client of mine seens Dr. Roberts and she says she loves him and has been going to him for years. Everyone I've met that sees Dc. Mclintock in the practice has outstanding reviews as well. Look them up and give them a call the nurses and reception staff is very nice and caring.

I'm done having babies, I had a tubal, so I don't even bother with an OB/GYN anymore, I just go to a Dr. who practices Internal Medicine. She does my yearly paps. I really like her and she's very down to earth. She even occassionally has her dog at the office, signs posted of course in case of allergies. But she's the first Dr. I've been to who listens and doesn't interupt me after 30 seconds. I've lived in Flower Mound & now in Plano & I'll still drive the extra distance to see her.

Her name is T. Anne Myint:
1850 Lakepointe Dr # 300, Lewisville, TX 75057-6442

I think you need Dr. Connie Casad. She is an Gyn that no longer does OB. She is awesome and used to be my doctor before I started pro-creating. HA! She concentrates on women's wellness instead of the standard lines most doctors give you. she also has a website you can check out. www.conniecasadmd.com. Besides being a great doctor she has the best nurse in the universe.

Good Luck!

I love Dr. Elizabeth Stevenson, located at Park Lane and 75. see http://www.parklaneobgyn.com/
She's a younger doctor (late 30s) and is in touch with women's issues. I've referred a lot of my friends who have issues that run the gamut. I would give her a try. I don't know of her opinions about BC as I've never been on it, but her staff is excellent and courteous. She delivered my two kids and is a DO, not an MD, so she's more natural about childbirth.
Hope this helps.

Hi A.:

NEVER in my life have I heard of not being allowed to transfer to a partner within a practice...that's just ridiculous...just call and make an appointment...they can't control whether or not you see the doctor or the partner...that's just laughable, you're certainly entitled to see any doctor you choose...and I can't believe anyone would go along with that.

I have a great OB/GYN that I've gone to for years...he delivered both my children and has never tried to persuade me one way or the other concerning birth control or any other issue, it's always strictly my choice..he has lots of partners and you can see any of them that you want to. He's in Medical City Dallas, which is a great facility.

Dr. Mark Bernstein: ###-###-####

Good Luck!

Hi A.,

I would highly recommend Dr. Maryann Prewitt located at 4601 Old Shepard Place Bldg. 2 Suite 209 Plano, TX 75093 ###-###-#### She doesn't deliver babies - just GYN -- she's great. You'll love her.

T.

Dr Samuel Tyuluman is wonderful. He is near Presby Dallas in the new Carrell building. I just went from OB to GYN, so to speak, and he spent an hour talking to me about cells and cancer and exercise and self care, and not a word about hormones. He is incredibly smart and incredibly nice. I highly recommend him. Check out his website if you are interested. I'm not going to say that he is perfectly on time with each appointment, but when you are his patient you know that the lady in the next room is getting really great health care, and that he will spend as much time with you as you need, too.

You should go talk to Julie Hagood - part of Walnut Hill Ob/GYN at Presby Dallas. While I can't speak to the part about BC - because the whole time I've been seeing her it's during this phase of my life where I want to get pregnant - I can say that she seems to be on top of the latest thinking and open to different methods - not just what she's always been doing. Part of the reason is that she's younger - mid to late 30's. I just had a great discussion with her the other day about accupuncture for fertility.
On top of everything she has a wonderful nurse Emily and Dr Hagood is an amazing person. I'm always amazed that she has so much compassion & respect for me as a person. And she's been there when we had are wonderful little girl - and had to deliver a baby boy at 20 weeks.
I would at least schedule an appt with her for a consult (just talking) and see if you and she are on the same page. That's what I did before my husband and I tried to get pregnant - b/c I didn't like my OB at the time - part of a very conservative practice at Baylor (also considered one of the best).

Good luck. And just a random question - why were you going to a doctor for a yeast infection - just go get some monistat and cut out the long wait : )

I go to Medical City.. I see Dr. Milstein. I love him!! He is very umm "with it" he has always listened to me and always take my concerns seriously. Dr. Culpepper and Dr Bernstein are in the same office and they are all great too!! If you go and see him tell him I sent you :) He delivered both of my kids and I have had 2 surgerys with him.. if for any reason your doctor is running really behind cause he had to go deliver or something.. there is always an option to see one of the other docs.. but honestly, out of the 11 or 12 yrs I have been going there.. that has happened maybe once.. their number is: ###-###-####.. Good Luck!

Looks like you have several responses. Jan Goss and Cheryl Kinney at Medical City dallas are fabulous. They do not push anything. They are both older women that have been through or seen it all. Dr. Goss even referred me to another M.D. at a different hospital for my infertility problems. I now have a 6 and 7 yr. old. If they do not take your insurance, ask for a name of a DR. at Presbyterian. There is a great OBGYN that sounds like Ann "Lutitch". I know Dr. Goss delivered 2 of her kids. The DR. that delivered my kids was in her practice, unfortunately, she is no longer practicing. Good luck!

HAve you considered using a midiwfe?

You might try Womens Health Alliance at Baylor downtown who has a great CNM Lynsey Stephens.

You can also try www.texasmidwives.org to locate a well woman midwife. I have only ever received exeptional care from mine!

If you're a runner try Dr. Brothers. She's a marathon runner, Mom to 3 boys and can't be older than 45. She's in practice with Dr. Crochette who is wonderful too. They reside in the Tom Landy center building next to Baylor Dallas. ###-###-####. I've never waited more than 30 mins.

I have not asked her specifically about different kinds of BC, but I did ask her many many questions about birthing since I didn't want a C-section (unless had to) and didn't want all the drugs (ended up needing em!)also. She was open and very easy to talk with.

Good Luck!

A.,

First of all, you're hysterical! This sounds like a difficult situation, but you write with such humor. Second of all, I have a recommendation for the best ob ever. (Seriously). BUT she's all the way in McKinney and can be tough to get in to. Dr. Jennifer Allen delivered all three of my kids. When I wanted a tubal ligation she refused because there is research out there that shows that it causes problems later in life. She pays attention to what is going on in the medical world. She listens to her patients. She is simply the most wonderful dr. out there. If I had a son, I was going to name it after hers...that's how much I love her! She is in the North Central Women's Health Partners practice http://www.ncwhp.com/ and their numbers are 972/542-8884 or Metro 972/562-1065, if you're interested. Good luck. :)

Dr. Tara Dullye is the best OB/GYN I've ever had (and I've moved quite a bit.) She LISTENS and is concerned about any aspect of your life YOU are concerned with. She has never even asked me to take birth control, it's always about what I want. She's great at explaining options, side effects, things to watch out for or consider which you may not think of at first. I've never waited more than 15 minutes to be seen, unless she had an emergency delivery. Her office is in Presby Dallas, and I live in Allen - but she's worth every minute of the drive. Her number is ###-###-####. I was told I had PCOS before deciding to have kids. Thanks to Dr. Dullye, I have two great, healthy kids.

I do not know if she is still in practice, but I loved Dr. Barbara Crockett located 8160 Walnut Hill Ln, Dallas. Her number is ###-###-####. I live too far to see her, but would if she were closer. She truly understands what we are going through since she has lived it as well. Dr. Charles Downey is also known for his compassionate and open-minded views. He is located at Richardson OB/GYN off of George Bush Frwy. Good Luck!

Dr. Remedios is great and funny. She's with Presbyterian in the Margaret Perot Building. Sorry that I forgot the number, but she is great!

Hello mrs. A.,
I have used Dr Clark Griffith for 13 years and he is awesome. He is at presbyterian of Dallas. Also sounds like with the kids you have a very busy life!!! dont we all though? (smile) I am a mother of 6. If you ever need a break or just someone to run errands for you. Please consider One Touch Professional Cleaning. Bonded and Insured visit the website.

Dr. Mark Godat at medical City Dallas-- he is the best!!! He has a great NP, Babara and it's a 1 doctor practice, so you know who you're getting.

I love my OBGYN. He is across the street from Baylor. Dale Ehmer, MD
Baylor is the most natural birth friendly place to have your baby, so the doctors associated with Baylor are familiar with more natural methods of everything. Even when he has offered me hormones, he has not pushed and also I really feel like I can talk to him. Your first visit starts in his office with your clothes on, to chat, and I feel like that is much better than meeting someone for the first time with legs in the air! Good luck

Dr.Phyllis Gee in Plano is awesome. A very up to date and thorough doctor. Her staff is super nice and professional. This is a woman's office. The office is clean and comfortable. Dr.Gee doesn't do ob so the oppiontments aren't pushed back for all the reasons most ob/gyn appt. are. She has a good website that will tell you more about her. I personally saw her once because I already have, love, and need my ob/gyn. She would be my choice if I didn't need an ob and love my own doc. Dr. Ricks is my doc. and he is great. I would reccomend him to anyone but you would likely preffer Dr.Gee being a woman and not having the delayed appt.s that Dr.Ricks has. Well, I hope you find who you are looking for :)
