Looking for a Good OB/GYN...that Actually Listens And.....

I am going to second Rachel's suggestion of Dr. Tyuluman. I actually go to Dr. Brough, who is his partner, and the other doctor in their practice, Dr. Angel delivered my baby. All 3 are excellent. Tyuluman has a dry sense of humor and Dr. Brough is more the fatherly one. Again, can not say enough wonderful things about this practice. They are truly what doctors should be...kind, knowledgeable, and just plain amazing. I went into labor 3 months early with my daughter, and all three of them helped me keep her in till she was term.

Hi S.,

There's a doctor that's part of a group of ob/gyns (North Central Wone's Health Partners, www.ncwhp.com, ###-###-####) that many friends of mine go to. Her name is Lori Halderman and they always tell me how she always gives them a hug when they come in and that she really listens attentively and never hurries them up during their appointments. I haven't gone to her since I don't have a need for it at this moment, but plan on going to her for my next well woman appointment. Their office is in the Medical Center of Mckinney so it should be close to you. Good luck with everything.

My OB is great but is not taking new patients. I thought I would let you know that she told me when we thought I had endometriosis, the only way to diagnose it for sure is through exploratory surgery. We ended up doing that as I also had an ovarian cyst that we could choose to remove or not-- I chose to remove it so we could find out about the endometriosis. They did find it and removed it, but the birth control is a preventative to keep it from returning. I, too, am not crazy about so much birth control. I just wanted to share this with you as my own experiences. If you learn of another way to control it that does not involve birth control, I would love to hear about it. Your OB may be opting to put you on the birth control to spare you the surgery?

I absolutely love Dr Halderman in McKinney at North Central Women's center. She is awesome!! I have been going ot her for 6+ years and she listens!!

S.
You need to see Dr. WElls. I have gone to him for 12 years and he delivered both my babies. He specializes in complicated pregnancies and conditions. He will listen and do what's right i promise. he's in presby plano ###-###-#### and he does accept UHC.

Clark Griffith is wonderful!! I have been going to him for 15 years. He is in Presby Dallas. I can not say enough good things about him or his doctoring skills. I also live in McKinney and have United Health Care. Good Luck!!!

S.,
I wanted to offer my OB/GYN for your consideration. He is Dr. Christopher Riegel in Plano. His office is off Midway just past the light at Parker. He is a very good doctor and is very aggressive in treating endometriosis. He was able to diagnose mine and delivered and saved my baby and I during a difficult Cesarean. He is very matter of fact and does not beat around the bush. He also is not a touchy feely doctor, which I appreciate, but others find a little off putting. All in all, I think he's great!

I have the GREATEST OB/GYN! Her name is Melissa Bailey M.D. and she is at Centennial Medical Center in Frisco. She takes insurance and her office staff is nice and caring. She REALLY listens to you and addresses all of your concerns without rolling her eyes like all the others!!! You will really like her! M.

i use dr. eisenberg from women's specialists of plano. i have only been using him for a few years now but would not even consider going to anyone else. my mom has used him for a much longer time. i would be glad to share his information with you. they do accept united healthcare. he is behind medical center of plano. his nurses are also very nice and caring and have always been more than willing to help with any questions and concerns i have. the entire staff is wonderful! best of luck finding someone you can trust and feel confident in!

Well it doesn't get much better than Dr. Tyuluman at Presby Dallas (pronounced like "to la men"). I too live in Mckinney and have United Health Care but I have been going to Dr. Tyuluman since I was 16 (I'm 32 now) and would never go anywhere else. He always sits down to talk with you when you go in and he REALLY listens to what you want and feel. He has cared for me through two pregnancies as well and helped me with depression, irregular cycles etc... you name it. He has fixed it for me. There is also a Dr. Angel who works with him if you prefer a woman. She actually delivered my second son and she is probably the most sincere, caring woman I know. If Dr. Tyuluman left (God for bid), I would switch to her in a heartbeat. Of course, you may not want to go as far as Presby Dallas and I understand that. For me, when I have the perfect Dr., I am willing to go the distance. Their number is ###-###-#### (i think)

Dr Keith Reilser is the best doctor for listening...trust me, I talk much and always have issues! He is at MCP but is moving to Plano Presby sometime this fall.

Margaret Christensen in dallas is the best. She does not take insurance and will need you to educate yourself and be ready to take ownership of your health, but, if you're tired of the medications, surgeries, etc, she's the one to go see. www.healingwomen.com
