I'm looking for a good OB, perferably male w/ Presby Plano priv. I'm pregnant w/3rd and final child, it's still very early so I have time to do my research but I've had some not so good experiences w/female OBs. They've had the 'get over it/be a man' kind of attitude about my complaints or concerns. Also, this might sound pretentious but I would like a beautiful/compfy looking office and easy parking.
A doctor that does not accept Medicaid preferably...
I know, I know, this sounds horrible but I would rather not wait 2 hours to be seen. I will be fitting my visits during extended lunch times. I've had to use a Medicaid doctor (1st baby) and boy! was it rough EVERY doctor had such a horrible attitude and bombard you w/drug free speeches..one even said in order to be his patient I had to take a drug test!! I cannot believe that (drug-free/non-alcoholic/simply fallen on hard times) people w/out insurance have to deal w/this.
Finally i simply 'dealt' w/ Dr Jibril in Plano. She was OK but rough..mentally that is and ALWAYS late.
By the way..
I might be considered a high maintenance patient LOL, I ask a lot of questions and have a low tolerance for pain.
Thanks!
Dr. Christopher Riegel is the best! He has been my OB for over 16 years (found him when pregnant with my oldest and he has delivered all 3 of my kiddos). His office is right next to Presby Plano. His office is called Prestonwood OBGYN - ###-###-####. He is great at being as detailed or short as you want him to be!
Good Luck!

You've received some great recommendations already, but here is another: Dr. Randall Burt ~ ###-###-####. His office is located in Presby Plano. He is very compasionate, understanding, and takes the time to actually get to know his patients (and not just their medical history!) and I have never felt rushed or dismissed when I've had questions or concerns. His nurse, Bernetta, is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. The front desk and insurance gals are all very personable. They do their own sonograms in the office, and the phlebotomist there is great ~ she's never had to stick me more than once and it has never hurt (I've had some blood draws other places that brought me to tears)!!!
Good luck in your search and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

I'm not in your area, but can totally relate to your experience. I am high risk, and that combined with the challenges you've described made my last birth experience an absolute nightmare.
I looove the doctor I have now. But he's here..not there. All I can say is perhaps finding a Doula or Midwife might be a better route this time. Otherwise, you can always try runnng names through websites where patients give their doctors a "grade" and performance review and take it from there.
Good luck, and no need to apologize. This is your body and your baby, you shouldn't apologize for wanting the best experience possible!
MORNING!
i love my OBGYN, his name is Dr Trostel. he is at 3800 Parkwood Blvd ste #403 Frisco TX 75034. His phone # is ###-###-####. I am big on questions and he is always willing. His nurse is also awesome! Congratulations and have a good day!
I love my doctor, Dr Alvin Gebert, who is at Presby Plano. He is very thorough, and is great about the pain. I've gone to him for about 10 years, through 2 pregnancies with complications, and only had to wait once or twice due to baby deliveries. He does his own sonos, which I love! He even came in on his day off for me when I was bleeding in my 1st pregnancy to give me a sono for peace of mind.
His number is ###-###-####.
Good Luck!
Dr. Levy is awesome! He has a lot of patience. He delivered my sister, daughter, son, cousins, nieces and nephews as well as both of my granddaughters! He is off of Park or Hebron where Carrollton and Plano meet.
I believe he does accept medicaid on limited bases but I don't know of any irritations caused by that while visiting Dr. Levy's office.
My doctor is Garrett Garner of Northlakes OBGYN, which is located at Plano Presby. Everyone loves him.
