We use Dr. David Becker at Plano Presby. He takes plenty of time with us and we never feel rushed. He also has a degree in sports medicine.

My husband & I go to Dr. Jenkins in Plano off Spring Creek. What is nice is they are a married team, I see the woman Dr. Tammie Jenkins & my husband sees Dr. Jenkins. I haven't seen Dr. Jenkins but my husband seems to like him. I can say I love Dr. Tammie she is great! Our children do not go there because they go to Dr. McDonald an excellent pediatrician but if they were to I would be more than comfortable with it.

My family uses Dr. Heather Akins. Her practice (North Texas Family Medicine) is located in the medical offices across the street from Medical Center of Plano. She has always been very thorough with us and she has a great personality. Never once have we been disappointed!

Best of luck in your search!

We use Dr. Gothard in Plano at Spring Creek and the Dallas North Tollway. He is the Dr. for the Rough Riders baseball team and for years has made the list on D magazine as on of the best Dr.'s in the area. The practice has several good doctors and Has a wonderful Nurse Practitioner that my daughter loves.The staff is also wonderful.If we are sick we have always been able to get in that day. Also the lab and x-ray facility's are in the same building. They also have evening hours for sick patients. I have seen Dr. Gothard and the NP both will take as much time as you need and is opened to your ideas and will work with you on your goals for your health care. It is important to find a great family doctor, I am also a RN working at Big Baylor downtown.

Not sure exactly where you are in Plano, but we have gone to Dr. Ansuya (Ann) Kumar at Inova Family Physicians since we relocated here in late 2005. Her office is at 2120 W. Spring Creek Parkway (just west of Custer and south across Spring Creek from the dog park). Our whole family (hubby, me, and our DD 8 and DS 7) sees her. She's really caring, does not rush you, and wants to get to know what is going on so she can see the full health picture. We really like her a lot.

Her number ###-###-####

My vote is for Doctor Beshires. He is in Garland at 190 and N Garland Ave. I love him!!! He is very nice, he listens to you, and makes sure you are comfortable with all of his decisions if not, he will explain and or do more testing if necessary. I love the fact that I never wait more than about 10 minutes, however, when you get in the room you do not feel rushed! He sits and talks to you, asks about your family.. he truly cares about his patients! Let me know if you decide to use him.. :)
###-###-#### is his office number.

Hi! I go to Dr. Dreiling at Pediatric Associates of Dallas. They are great. They are open evenings and Saturdays so you don't have to head to the ER with a sick kid that needs medicine. We had a weekend outbreak of pink eye that convinced me a doctor that's open on Saturday is worth their weight in gold. I believe they have an office in Plano as well. We have been happy with all the doctor's we have seen at the practice and many of our friends go their as well.

Dr. Paul Hull in Plano is the best family doctor around! He LISTENS to his patients and doesn't jump to conclusions. He saved my life! After my twins were born I became weaker and weaker and after the initial loss of weight, began gaining weight, I had trouble breathing at night. I saw a doctor near my home (I was living in Garland at the time) who assumed and treated me for bronchitis (I am a smoker). I continued to decline. I saw my OB/GYN who told me it was normal for me to be tired since I was a new Mom and to diet if I wanted the weight off. I finally broke down and called Dr. Hull (who had been my family doctor when I lived in Plano). HE LISTENED. He performed tests and told me to call him the next day -- at which time he'd already made an appointment for me with a cardiologist -- I was suffering from congestive heart failure! The initial prescriptions resulted in a weight loss of 27 pounds in 1 week -- all water weight associated with the condition. The cardiologist told me I probably wouldn't have lived two more weeks. I am alive and a happy mom to two 9 year olds because Dr. Paul Hull is the best!

Hi there....I would DEFINITELY recommend Dr. Tammie and Dr. Doug Jenkins (married)...I see that another person has responded about them, too, and they are both wonderful....I, and my daughters, 19 & 5 see Tammie and my son and my husband (son is 15) see Dr. Doug....they are just wonderful...so kind, never a wait, take their time - you never feel hurried or rushed and listen to whatever you say...I feel more like they are friends than my Dr.'s. My kids love them both..and if you cannot see one you can always see the other one...but there have been very rare cases where I did not see Tammie for me...only when I have needed to get it really fast and saw Doug and feel just as comfortable. They always call back immediately if you have to call after hours and just are the best Dr.'s I have ever seen. We have been going to them for about 8 years now and I will never change...we are so lucky to have them...they have kids of their own 2 boys and 1 girl all 8 and under so they are definitely good with the kids...and the nurses are great too...the office staff friendly and professional but not cold and clinical...I really think you will just love them as we do...they are located at Chase Oaks and Spring Creek in Plano and their number is ###-###-####...you can tell them that L. Amigh (Amy) referred you....in my opinion no need to see a pediatrician separately....in fact, I don't even see a GYN...I told her I just wanted "one stop shopping" and they do it all...pap smear, etc...she would refer me to my old OB/GYN (happens to be the same one she uses) if there were ever a problem...but that has not been the case...thank goodness...I hope you try them...you will really love them...terrific bedside manner and just so personable....

We love Dr. Keith Eppich! He is friendly, personable, thorough and we can often get in the same day! I do not have the number handy, but he offices with Dr. Lensing in the building at the SW corner of Spring Creek and Independence.

One more vote for Dr. Chris Clark in Richardson. He's the best ever. I was a pharmaceutical rep when I first moved here and called on most of the family practive physicians from North Dallas to Sherman. Out of all of them, I chose Dr. Clark and have never regretted it. He is now our family physician - he even sees my step-daughter who lives in Mansfield!!!

His number is ###-###-#### and his address is 399 W. Campbell Rd, Suite 101, Richardson, TX. It's in the building on the left of the hospital in Richardson. Tell him TJ Wolfe sent you!!!
