Seeking OB Gyn in Plano or Dallas

You might want to try a midwife at a birthing center. They gave me so much better care at The Birthing Center at Swiss Avenue than I got at a Dr's office. First off they told me how to prevent preclampsyia. They gave me nutritional support. When my appointment was supposed to be 45 minutes I spent 40 to 45 minutes with the midwife even if it was just to talk about the weather. They were never late to an appointment. When I delivered they always had the baby right beside me. They also are very good at keeping an eye on your blood sugar, protein in urine, and weight and will transfer you to a Dr. if you have any problems. They gave me exercises to expand the birth canal and instructions on how to tell if you need to come into see them if there is lack of movement. When I talk to people about what my midwife did for me they are amazed because their dr's don't spend half as much time nor do they give them anywhere near the education about how to eat, exercise, sleep, rest, and live while pregnant to have a healthy baby.

Dr. Deborah Fuller, Baylor Dallas, or Dr.s Heckman, Harris or Ehmer (group practice, all are good) Dr. Harris served on the Quality Care board at Baylor.

I saw Dr. Katrina Walsh for 1st pregnancy. Liked her, but felt staff and she paid lip service to my desire for no drugs and breastfeeding. Also seemed threatened by hiring of labor doula. However, always very professional. I was induced with high BP 1 wk before due date and while baby was born fine, I had a few complications. The LDR nurses at the Plano hospital (can't remember current name, but it's at Coit & 15th) were awesome, tho didn't care for the attitude of the recovery RNs.

Switched to OB-GYN practice that also has 2 RN Midwives on staff, Women's Health Alliance. Saw the midwives for next 2 kids (drove in from Frisco for last one!)....loved them! Never had problems with high BP again, great deliveries.
Best of both worlds, you're in the hospital (Baylor University Medical Center, downtown Dallas) so you don't have to be transported if there's trouble, but you also have low-intervention approach!!!! I've met Dr. Mathews, but not enough to make judgement call. If you can, go for the water delivery...I didn't say yes quickly enough (tub fills slooooooowly), but would if I did it again!
They'll give you lists of doulas, pediatricians, lactation consultants!!
http://www.wha-docs.com/ click on the Midwives link. I go to the Baylor location. Been an official patient since 2000, with 2 births to their practice and still love them!!

Hi C.!

Dr. Garrett Garner (Presby Plano) is awesome! I had blood pressure problems with my first pregnancy and then my water broke early with my second and I misscarried our third over the summer. He is very caring and has a sense of humor too. I highly recommend him.

Hi C.,

I've used the same OBGYN since 2001 and still love him! Dr.Clark Griffith at Presby of Dallas. He's a very intelligent friendly doctor. Has a more layed back personality which I like, you don't feel rushed with him and he listens to your needs & concerns.

Good luck to you and your baby!

P.S. He also has very friendly office staff & nurses and I had a wonderful experience with post op care after my C-section so the post op care has improved since my last delivery.

I LOVE my ob-gyn. Delivered 2 babies with him. Dr Robert Milstein. He's down at medical center dallas, but for me it's been worth the drive. (good luck finding the right one!)

Hi C.,

I know you said Plano, however, I can say Dr. Elise Harper at Centennial Medical Center is ONE of the Best OB's I've ever had and I have researched many! She delivered my son when my last OB turned into a real nightmare mid-pregnancy! She was very professional while at the same time maintaining a wonderful connection. Centennial Medical Center is located off of Lebanon Rd in the Frisco area of 121. Here is the office # ###-###-####. I've recommended many people to her and they've had nothing but great things to say about her!! However, these days her schedule becomes filled up quickly so it may take a while to get an appointment. Good Luck!

I highly recommend Dr. Berry Fleming.

I have had a few gynecologists over the years and he is by far the best! He really takes the time to listen and calm any fears you have. He's also good about not doing unnecessary testing, etc. I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant. I can't say enough about him. He delivers at what is formerly Plano Presby and also at Baylor Frisco.

Hi C.,
My ob/gyn practices at Baylor Med Center in downtown Dallas. Elizabeth Stevenson, D.O. at Park Lane Ob/Gyn ###-###-####
http://www.parklaneobgyn.com/
She is the blonde lady on the web homepage. Her partner, Dr Reyes is very nice, also.
I have been seeing DR Stevenson for 8 years, and I am 36, she is a 2-3 years older than me. What I really appreciate about her is that she realizes she is the primary care physician for most of her patients, and she takes many extra continuing ed classes for depression, heart disease, etc in an effort to give "whole body" care.
Plus, she does a great delivery if that is in your future. Funny, focused, not threatened by a doula.

My OBGYN is the greatest. I had complications with getting pregnant and when our miracle happened Dr. Tania White-Jackson was there. I had alot of difficulty all during my pregnancy were I had to have a sonogram every month to check on my son, my doctor was there! She is located at Presby of Plano~ ###-###-####. May God direct you to the doctor that will best suite your needs.

Dr. Dawn Bankston with Associated Women's Health ###-###-####). There are four doctors in the practice and they are all very good. I've been seeing Dr. Bankston for almost 10 years now and she delivered my son in April of 2007.
Medical Center Plano is also a very good hospital.
Hope that helps.

Dr Courtney Trylovich at Northlake OBgyn (www.northlakeobgyn.com) is absolutely amazing! She is at Presbyterian Plano, now Texas Health Plano. She is incredibly warm, and I cant just even begin to name all the wonderful things about her. She is also very highly recommended by everyone in the hospital that I spoked with, and family friends who were nurses there just had exceptional things to say about her.

Baylor is supposed to be very good, I agree. It's been a few years for me so I don't know if presbyterian of dallas still has a good reputation, but I have used the same OB there for 20 years and have been very happy. Gene Hunt

I use Dr. Donald Chester in Plano. His office is right next to medical center of Plano (15th and Coit). He delivers at Medical Center of Plano and also Baylor of Frisco. He is a wonderful doctor and his staff really care about his patients. His office number is ###-###-####, I'm not sure exactly how long he has been in practive but I know he has been in the obgyn field close to 30 years.

I have had the same OB/GYN for all 3 of our kids and continue to swear by him. He is Dr. Gary Duncan in Plano. I had 2 of my kids at Plano Presby and 1 at Plano HCA. The experiences I had w/ Presby were awesome and have a quite a few friends who had children there. But Dr. Duncan is a wonderful doctor and recommend him to anyone.

Gave Dr. Autrey's office a call at ###-###-####. He has a great staff and a great doctor. Dr. Autrey has been in pratice over 24 years at Medical City Dalas Hospital. He will probably send you to Dr. Weiss for the preclampsyia and they will keep in close contact with Dr. Autrey on each and every visit. Dr. Autrey also excepts all insurances except for Medicaid. Good luck to you and your baby.

Dr. Katrina Walsh at Plano Presby is fantastic! ###-###-####

Without a doubt - Chris Riegel -- Prestonwood OB/GYN -- he is AWESOME ###-###-####

Dr. Angela Angel at Dallas Presby! The entire group is SO great and came recommended to me by more than 1 person. I moved north to Little Elm and I don't have the # but you can look her up!
Good luck~

I had all three of my kids at Presbyterian Dallas (Texas Health Dallas now) and it is always one of the highest rated hospitals. I love my OBGYN; he delivered all three of my kids and is the OB that all of the nurses in labor and delivery say they use because he is so fantastic. His name is Jonathan Brough at ###-###-####. I have never felt in better hands with a dr.

There is a wonderful OBGYN In Frisco Texas
Jon Ricks, M. D.
Warren Parkway
Baylor Hospital Frisco.
He also has a office in Plano
P. S
Frisco

I've been seeing my OB/GYN for 9 years now and I love him! Dr. David Fong. (He's a partner w/ Gary Duncan who someone else mentioned). He has offices in Plano and Frisco and his bedside manner is amazing! He delivered my daughter as well as a few of my friends that now see him too. I highly reccommend him.

The BEST OBGYN in Dallas (in my opinion) is Dr. Glen Heckman!!!! I have been with him for 13 years. We have gone through a fallopian tube cyst, miscarriage and natural child-birth. He is wonderful! As is the team at Baylor Dallas. His number is: ###-###-####.
Good luck!

Definitely recommend Dr. Jon Ricks. He has an office in Plano and Frisco and is the most caring doctor I know! Good Luck!! :)

I'm a high risk patient for premature labor and my first two babies were both preemies. I switched doctors for my third pregnancy and had a wonderful experience and went full term. Dr. Marci Oliveira is amazing!!! She is perfect for pregnancies that may run into complications. I love her nurse too...which helps when that's who you talk to over the phone when you have questions!!! Dr. Oliveira is located at Medical City in Dallas. She may refer you to see Dr. Weiss for the preclampsyia, he's a perinatologist there at Medical City. He is very smart and a very good doctor as well... They work together very well and you will feel so comfortable during your pregnancy!!!

My daughter was born two months ago and switching to Dr. Oliveira was the smartest and best thing I ever did!!!

Good luck!

i'm with Dr. Sandra Brothers. She partners with Dr. Crochet. They are both located in the Landry Center and associated with Baylor Dallas. I'm a runner and Dr. Brothers is open to me running (in my 8th mo now) and is someone that doesn't push c-sections. Baylor Dallas is a great place too. They have a WONDERFUL mommy and me group for post birth too which i highly recommend.

C.,

Dr. Kyle Mathews is GREAT. He is in Plano and uses Presby Plano. He doesn't say much...but is a great dr and takes all kinds of precautions. I have used him for my 2 kids and both were c-sections.

Hi C.,

I have Dr. Jane Nokleberg at Presby Dallas and she is absolutely FANTASTIC!! We have 3 boys and she has been by my side the entire time. Presby Dallas has also been rated "best hospital to have a baby in Dallas" several times. The staff is incredible and caring, I can't say enough good things about them.
