Hi..I just recently moved to Mckinney from south Texas...also Just found out I'm pregnant and need an OB...I live in Mckinney and would prefer to go to a caring female OB that is in mckinney or nearby (allen or frisco). I heard that it is preferable to deliver in Allen rather than Mckinney, any opinions on this as well?
I see Sara Roberts at Craig Ranch OBGYN and I would recommend Shea Joyner too. Both are very sweet doctors and deliver at both.
I delivered at McKinney and had a great experience.
I use Craig Ranch OBGYN, they are in McKinney and I love them!! All of the doctors in the practice are wonderful. They deliver at both McKinney and Allen, and also specialize in high risk pregnancy (if you need it). I delivered at Allen and had a great experience, everyone was wonderful. Since delivering at Allen (2.5 years ago) my daughter has been to the McKinney hospital twice and received HORRIBLE service both times. I am trying to get pregnant now and will definitely deliver at Allen when we do have another baby.
Congrads on your pregnancy.
Dr.Suzette Boyd in Frisco,she delivers in Presby of Plano,one of the best hospitals.She was recommemded to me by my OBGYN when I lived in NY. Good Luck!
Congrats M.! Dr. Banks or Dr. Halderman are great and they are in McKinney next door to the hospital. Their website is:
I delivered at McKinney -- VBAC no less -- and everything went great! I have a very caring female Ob/Gyn, Dr. Jennifer Allen of North Central Women's Health Partners. There website is http://ncwhp.com/rhm.asp.
Congrats M.,
Try Dr. Elise Harper. She is just great. Her number is ###-###-####. She is located on the NW corner of Coit and HWY 121 in Frisco right next to Centenial Medical Center.
Good luck.

I love, love, love Dr. Pauline Petrovski at Centennial in Frisco. She is so sweet and easy going.
I definitely do NOT recommend Craig Ranch OBGYN. I used this practice when I first moved to McKinney last summer and was pregnant with my fourth child. Everyone was nice, and the office was clean and so forth. However, in my post pardum care, they almost killed me in what was suppose to be a simple procedure. They're young and not experienced enough to trust them with your life. Learn from my mistakes.
I now drive to see Dr. John Paul Roberts. (www.jprobertsobgyn.com) Excellent service and care for you and your baby is worth the drive. Good Luck!
If you want McK area, Dr. Jennifer Allen is probably the best physician in the area. She respects the process of birth (doesn't see birth as a 'delivery'), is very friendly to the more naturally minded and the more medically minded. She has a midwife in the office if you want more hands on constant care in labor. There are pros and cons of both hospitals in the area, it depends much on what you want/desire from your birth expereience. Feel free to ask if you have 'specifics' of what you are looking for, while I teach natural childbirth, I can give you a feel for what most people experience with most local providers and both hospitals.
Congrats. I ditto the positive responses about North Central Womens Health Partners. I am a patient of Dr. Lori Halderman and she was wonderful. I am a first time mother and had a great experience with the Dr.'s and nurses at this practice and when I delivered at Medical Center of McKinney.

Dr. Lauren Michelsen is great, she has wonderful bedside manners...she is located at Centennial which is at the corner of 121&Coit. Her website will give you her number and directions, www.eliteobgyn.net
Good luck!
I have gone to Dr. Jennifer Allen in McKinney for 6 years now. She is a member in a group of four female doctors (North Central Women's Health Partners), and I've had interaction with 3 of them, and like them all. Have several friends who go to the others, and they are pleased. Also, having delivered 2 babies at Medical Center of McKinney, I would recommend it. I was pleased with the level of care, and liked the staff. I believe they now have a Level II NICU unit, if the need arose for you. Best of luck to you.
I go to Dr. Varadi ###-###-####. She is in Plano near 15th & Coit. She delivers at Medical Center of McKinney & Baylor of Frisco (where I just delivered). It's not as close as Allen, but WAY nice. Dr. Varadi accepts almost all Health Insurances too. For me it was worth the drive.
I went to Craig Ranch OBGYN and had a good experience as well. I really liked their office and didn't have any problems. I delivered at Allen Presby and also had a great experience there! One reason I chose it over McKinney was because you get to stay in the Labor/Delivery room the entire time which is great! You're not whisked away after delivery to a "postage stamp" room! ;) That being said, I belive that's only the case if you have a normal delivery vs. a C-Section. Anyway, good luck in your decision!
I have enjoyed going to Plano Healthcare for Women, Dr. Gwen Webster. She delivers at Presby Plano, loved this hospital both times I was there :)
Hi. I know of a great female OB-GYN in McKinney. Her name is Dr. Shaye Joiner and she is at Craig Ranch OBGYN (www.craigranchobgyn.com). I am not personally a patient, but she attends my church and everyone talks about how wonderful she is. I am not sure if she is taking new patients, but you can try.
