I'm having major issues going on with my body. I had preemie twins a year and a half ago and my body seems to be falling apart. I'm losing my hair and my periods are out of wack.I have major pelvic pain. I have gained tons of weight without eating.I am not breast feeding anymore but I still have milk but its turning brown. I scheduled a appointment with my doctor and it took 6 weeks to get in and I went in and it ended up canceled due to doctor's personal business. The next time I could get in was two months from now and I can't wait that long. If anybody knows a great, caring, knowledgeable OBGYN in the fortworth,midcities, grapevine area please let me know. I am sorry if this is TMI. I just need some help.

I love mine, Dr. Patrick Allen. He has two offices, one at North Hills Hospital and one in Keller off Basswood. Also, my sister goes to Dr. Sneed. He has an office off North Tarrant and also works out of Dr. Allen's North Hills office once or twice a week. I know you've recieved many referrals here, and I wish the absolute best of luck to you whoever you choose to see.

Your hormones are clearly out of whack and the number one is likely your thyroid hormones - that will cause the loss of hair, issues with your cycle and the weight gain. Your body will continue to produce breastmilk for quite some time even after you wean - I had a friend that had milk for 7 mos after she stopped nursing.

The best GYN in the DFW area is Margaret Christensen: www.christensencenter.com She does have a backlog/waitlist (but the best docs always do), but I got in in 24 hours due to a cancellation, so I recommend you call today and talk to her nurse and try again first thing on MOnday in the morning around 10 am - I was able to get in the next day. That time of the day is when the nurse usually finishes her reminders for the upcoming appts and is usually trying to fill a cancellation. And, the receptionist is a nurse, so she will understand your issues - she isn't always as pleasant as she should be, based on how Dr. Christensen runs her office, but I think that's just her demeanor - she takes her job very seriously and is very conscientious.

Dr. Christensen was likely the top OB/GYN for at least 15 years. She had thyroid and adrenal issues herself (and other health issues). She closed her OB/GYN practice as she realized that conventional medicine had only taught her to either "cut it out or drug it up" when women had these problems. She changed her practice to GYN only after she solved her own health problems and trained as a functional medicine doctor. She treats the whole woman and NOT just specific organs - she jokes that she used to treat from the breasts to just above the knees only - that's how OB/GYNs are trained. Dr. Christensen uses only bioidentical hormones. She also has 4 children and breastfed them all, so she is a true expert on all these issues. I wouldn't go to anyone else for my GYN issues - she will spend at least 1 hour with you at your first appt - she spent 2 with me as my case was quite complex, as it sounds like yours may be.

I use Dr. Troy New in Grapevine. He has delivered all four of my babies. I love him. He is very personable and have never had him cancel on me. He will stay in the room and answer all questions without looking like he is leaving the room. I would see if he is on your insurance. Good Luck.

Dr. David B. McAlpine! He's my ob and he's located in fort worth at Baylor SW. He's amazing! He saved my life with an emergency surgery, and then helped us get pregnant when we were having issues, and then saved me from having to have a repeat c-section and let me have v-bac after the on-call doc. said no. Everything went smoothly and I would never switch docs now! Call him!

M.,
a great dr is Dr Troy New at Baylor Grapevine Hospital. He dlivered both of my children and came highly reccommended. I have also reccommended him to 3 other people and they love him. After having children his patients stay on with him as an OBGYN. If you were willing to try Plano another excellent doctor is Dr Ewa niewarowski at Plano Presby hospital. I referred her to 5 people, they all love her. Because she is so attentive, proactive, and caring she actually saved my friends life.

My goodness!!! It sounds like you definitely are having some hormonal and possibly thyroidal problems. I don't know how specific you have been with the appointment taker at your doctor's office, but you need to tell them this is urgent. There is the Women's Integrated Health office in Grapevine- Dr. Kindrick or Pope or Lopez are very good. And they are taking new patients. But please let them know this is an urgent problem so you can get in... otherwise, also see your primary care physician!!!!

M.,
Sounds like a thyroid issue, which your GP can probably address. However, if you want to see an OB/Gyn a friend referred me to Dr. Tim Rost at Baylor Grapevine and I went through an entire pregnancy/delivery with him. He and his staff are very friendly and caring and there's NO WAIT to see him (most OB/Gyns I've seen have LONG waits). His # is ###-###-####. Best of luck you you!

I absolutely LOVE my ObGyn, Dr. Beverly Wood. I've been with her for about 13 years and she's delivered one of my two daughters, one of my nephews and all three of my nieces. My only concern is that she tends to be booked out far, so I don't know how quickly you can get it to see her. Please call her, as I truly believe you'll love her. She's located in Bedford, right across from HEB Hospital. Her office # is ###-###-####. Explain the urgency of your situation and, hopefully, they'll be able to squeeze you in somewhere. Feel free to use my name as the referring source. Good luck!
