I am not on Medicaid personally; I'm on Medicare. I did look up the information for you though. You can go to this website:

Once you sign up they will send you a booklet that list doctors in your area that except medicaid. I live in the Arlington area but I went to see a doctor in North Richland Hills. She accepts medicaid and she came highly recommended. I was a high risk patient. And she can also recommend a great peditrician. The OB is located at North Hills Hospital: Doctor Dana Snells (there are 3 doctors in the suite they are all great). Hope this helps.
