I am looking for an OB/GYN in the Allen/Plano/McKinney area. I am having pelvic pain and an ultrasound found “something” in one of my fallopian tubes that I need checked out. If you have a Dr who is considerate and very thorough (does pelvic exams, occasionally checks your thyroid…), please let me know.
FYI…I delivered at McKinney Medical Center and I loved it there but my OB/GYN (Dr. Lori Halderman) was not thorough enough and misdiagnosed me as depressed and it turned out to be my thyroid. She would rarely do pelvic exams (even in third trimester), she never checked my thyroid…even when I complained of hormone issues and pain in my neck…she said it was depression and was very quick to through anti-depressants at me even when I assured her I was not depressed (turned our I had a tumor on my thyroid causing all the problems).
Please help me find a Dr.
Thank you for your responses! I never imagined I would get so many. I have also been to Craig Ranch and I really liked my Dr there (Andrew Shimer). But, when I became pregnant I realized that I needed a closer Dr. I would feel bad going back after leaving them once I found out I was pregnant. There are all so many good Dr's that I will have to talk to a few before I decide on one. Thank you again.
T., I really like my Dr - Dr. Anita Chin. She is with North Central Womens Health in McKinney, in the offices right across from McKinney Medical Center.
Hope this helps!

I absolutely love Dr. Eisenberg. His number is ###-###-####. A lot of my friends go to him and he was recommended to me. He delivered my son less than a year ago and I was sad when I didn't get to see him as much. He is very caring and doesn't rush through his visit with you. He is located in Plano, near Medical Center of Plano. Good Luck!
I had the best OB gyn that I could have ever been blessed with for my very complicated pregnancy. Dr. C. Edward Wells. He's offices out of Plano Presby and is just amazing!!!! Doctor of the year award---hands down!

I absolutely LOVE my OBGYN! Her name is Dr. Judith Hsu (pronounced "sue") and she practices at North Texas Obstetrics & Gynecology. The office is located on 15th street, just east of Coit in Plano (right next to Medical Center of Plano). We have recently moved to McKinney also, but I would drive hours to see her! She's amazing. So sweet and easy to talk to, but a REEEEALLY good doctor. She has done a pelvic exam every time I've had an appointment, and she's good about looking at ALL possibilities. Her staff is wonderful as well. After we had our first daughter, Emma Kate in 2006, my husband and I felt like part of their family. There were several times that I was sick on the weekend during my pregnancy, and Dr. Hsu would call me from home to talk to me about my symptoms and then call in a prescription. She also came to the hospital in her street clothes while running errands with her husband and little boy on a Saturday afternoon after I gave birth, just to check in. I couldn't say enough about her. I LOVE her!
Her office's number is ###-###-####.
Good luck!

Dr Garrett Garner at Presby plano is fabulous!! He's with Northlake OBGYN. You can go to the presby plano website and find his contact info. He is a great doctor and person!! Returns calls himself, calls himself with lab results the next day, the longest I ever waited was 15 minutes and he was doing an emergency c-section. I was in the hospital for 7 weeks with my last pregnancy and he was just wonderful!! Managed my very complicated pregnancy perfectly.
Dr. Eric Jacoby - hands down. He's the best. He's near Plano Presby. ###-###-####
I would highly recommend Dr. Eric Jacoby. His new office is located by Presby Plano. I work with lots of doctors and he has an excellent reputation among his peers and in the medical field. He is very compassionate and caring and he is very thorough. He delivered my twins and we saw him frequently throughout the pregnancy. He is always on time and his staff is wonderful too! You can't go wrong with choosing him!
I love my OBGYN. Dr. Shea Joyner of Craig Ranch OBGYN

All the doctors are so caring and wonderful! But I love Shea Joyner!
Good luck
Well I am not sure how far it would be to drive, but I drove from Terrell to see Dr. Ted Fogwell, he came highly recommended , my husband is a Doctor so he only wants the best and I was high risk . He has also taken care of my daughter who swears she will drive from Ft. Hood for him to be her OB when she delivers. He is at Presbyterian Hospital, I have been very pleased. I recently have a full Histo and the nurses all told my husband he was the best of the best, I hope this helps. He is a straight shoot from the hip kind of man and a good christian man, his staff is the nicest I have ever dealt with. He has a website and is in information to get his number.
T....I go to Katrina L. Lee, MD at 6124 W. Parker Road, Building 3, Suite 430, Plano, TX 75093, Phone ###-###-####. She is the ABSOLUTE BEST OB/GYN ever!!! She has operated on me several times. She is thorough beyond belief. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. After my last surgery, I was hospitalized for 5 days, she would make rounds 4-5 times a day to check on me...always early in the A.M. 6-7 A.M. and she would be in my room at night at 10:00 or after before she left for the evening checking to see if I needed anything before she went home for the night. I am allergic to estrogen and was taking over the counter St. Johns wort and did not know it was a natural estrogen...side effect of estrogen are blood clots which I knew from taking birth control pills, but did not know it was a natural ingredient in St. Johns wort. Dr. Lee is the one who told me because she is also a chemist. She is the most compassionate doctor I have ever known in 25 years of going to an OB/GYN. Dr. Lee is probably early 30's and makes everyone feel as if they are her only patient. Give her a call and go visit her. Her staff are wonderful too. Hope you feel better soon. God Bless you. D.
I LOVE my daoctor. He is Bruce Rajala at Allen Presbyterian Hospital. He is always thorough and LISTENS to his patients.

My OB/GYN is awesome. He has been on the Best of Dallas doctors many times. His info is below. I chose him after my last OB/GYN was trying to rush me into surgery and went here and found a non surgical slution after much testing. WHich my last doctor did none of. Here is his info:

Dr. Catherine Holt of Elite OB is located on Coit and 121 at Centennial Medical Center pavillions. She is my new OB/GYN and she is the best I have ever been to. Dr. Holt will call you personally with test results and she encourages patients to call her with any questions and concerns. She is also the nicest OB I have ever had. The practice is shared with Dr. Lauren Michelson, so it's small. I had been going to North Central Womens's Health Partners for three years, but the practice was not as personalable because of how many patients the practice had.

Hi T.,
My OBGYN is Dr. Victor Vines at Medical City Dallas. I feel he is one of the very best. I know it would be a little bit of a drive for you but he is worth the drive. I'm expecting my fourth child and I drive from Frisco to see him. I also love Medical City they have excellent care. His office number is ###-###-####. Good luck!

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Alvin Gebert. He is in Presby Plano. He is the most thorough doctor I have ever gone to. He found cancer of the vulva on me that another doctor just dismissed and he also diagnosed and treated my endo after years of pelvic pain and no response from two other doctors. I had two complicated pregnancies with him as my doctor and he was always on top of things.
Most recently, my pelvic pain came back (also had incontenence). After a very thorough exam and a review of all my complaints he told me that a hysterectomy would be the best thing for me. Of course, only if I was sure I was done having kids. I waited a year, but had the surgery last November. I've got to tell you, I feel better than I have in a long time. Gebert spent a LOT of time explaining the procedure to me and going over my options. I actually have a friend who used the same doctor as yours for her hysterectomy (I live in McKinney also) and she didn't explain ANYTHING to my friend. Because of this, my friend didn't get the results she needed from the surgery. My friend also had complications from the surgery that were life threatening. Needless to say, her experience made me appreciate Dr. Gebert even more!!
I agree that the Dr's at Craig Ranch are great! My Dr.there is Tricia Shimer. Joyner assisted Shimer with my C-Section and they did a great job.
I was having pelvic pain, and they were VERY thorough and didn't stop running tests, etc. until they figured out what was going on. Their number is ###-###-####.
Good Luck!
All of these OB/gyns are probably great, but just make sure you have a good endocrinologist. I too had tumors on my thyroid and have since had them removed. Your best bet is to have your endocrine doctor recommend someone. Because most symptoms can be reversed or "not typical" when you have a thyroid problem, many OB/Gyns dismiss symptoms when they are not familiar with "thyroid replacement" patients. I currently go to Endocrine Assoc. of Dallas (Dr. Audrey Miklius). When I had my last child, my OB-Gary Duncan (Plano) stayed in constant contact with her, b/c it can be truly different from a "normal" patient. I won't say he was the best, but he recognized the fact that he was not the expert at this type of illness....therefore all went well.
Best wishes!
Dr. Kristen Innes is wonderful & very good! Her office is 3880 Parkwood Blvd. Suite 403 Frisco TX 75034. www.drinnes.medem.com
WONDERFUL ob-gyn, Ralph Joseph, D.O., Allen Presbyterian. Very thorough, delivered both my boys, still see him as my regular ob-gyn. I too have thyroid issues. He's very good with follow-up.
My sister and I have used Shimer and Shimer in McKinney for several years and really like them. I have been to Patricia Shimer (the wife) and she is really good, but for the past 4 years I have been going to their P.A., Jeannine and she is fantastic and extremely thorough. I would encourage you to talk to her about your past in detail and tell her of your concerns. I also have an excellent G.P., Dr. Christopher Lawrence in McKinney and he is terrific with thyroid issues and is using a lot of Bio-Identical hormones with great success in his female patients.
