I Need Recomendations for a GREAT High Risk OBGYN

I'm looking for some advice w/ finding an OBGYN. Not just any, but one that is great w/ high risk patients. I have very hard pregnancies and I'm very leary about going to a OBGYN that won't have "patience" or be able to fit me in right away if the need arises.

What can I do next?

I was not high risk during pregnancy but recently went into preterm labor and had my daughter at 33 weeks. I was transferred to Harris Methodist downtown Ft. Worth (because my hospital didn't have an adequate NICU) and was under the care of Dr. Thigpen. He was a WONDERFUL doctor, and I highly recommend him to others.

Good luck . . .

We are also military, so I know he takes our insurance!!! :)

Edited to add: I didn't realize the advice before me recommended the same doctor!!! And someone mentioned Dr. Tabor. He is in the same practice and is actually the doctor that delivered me. I didn't like him as much as Dr. Thigpen, but mainly because the first time I met him, he was delivering my daughter.

Dr. Payne at Baylor Grapevine. Excellent!

Hi M.!! My name is K. Simmons. My OBGYN was awesome. He is in Fort Worth, the Hulen/I-20 area. His name is David McAlpine. He is wonderful and is a fertility specialist so I am guessing he deals with high-risk frequently. He delivered all three of my babies and I just love him. You might check him out.
Good luck to you!! :)

I don't know the doctor's number but I am sure you can find him in the directory. His name is Dr. Tatum and he did my sisters twins and my other friends baby when she had to have surgery!!! I will try to find his number but he is GREAT!!!

I live in FW, but my OBGYN is in Dallas at Medical City off of Forest and 75. He is WONDERFUL! I myself did not have a high risk pregnancy, but my girlfriend who uses him does and she had TWO EXTREMELY high risk pregnancies and she loves him. Personally, I have recommeded him to all my friends and every one that has gone to him loves him. His name is Dr. Robert Milstein ###-###-####). Good Luck!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no idea what that must be like to go through. I have a wonderful doctor, but he is in Irving. I don't know if you want to drive that far, but to me he's worth it. He has made it to where I have two wonderful children when I didn't think I was ever going to have any. I have driven to Irving to see him for over 15 years now. His name is Dr. Peter Sakovich, http://www.macobgyn.com/about.html
Good luck and best wishes to you!
