Hi Ladies,
We just moved here from Wichita Falls and had our first baby 2 weeks ago. We had the BEST doctors there and are so sad that we will not be able to have them here. Their bedside manner and professionalism were outstanding. Both my OB/GYN and our Pediatrician were so patient, loving, kind, wise, and genuine. I really need some help finding not only replacements for us here, but EXCELLENT replacements!!! We are looking for doctors in both areas of care that have the same qualities. I don't have a preference as to if they are male or female. We need them to be in the Ft. Worth/Keller/Southlake area. We are currently living in Haltom City temporarily, but will be living in the Keller area sometime within the next year or so. Oh, also you know how important it is to have a GREAT hair stylist...so I also need recommendations on that as well! Thanks so much ladies and I can't wait to hear back from you. Please include if you don't mind the doctors/hair stylist names, locations, and why you REALLY LOVE them!
Funny ow this works...but I love Kid Care Pediatrics and Dr. Fricker. Mickey Hooper in Fort Worth is great OBGYN. She is fabulous.
Dr. Julia Flowers at Baylor G'vine- OB/GYN. FANTASTIC bedside manner. caring, listens, takes her time. Takes a bit to get in- so call now!! ###-###-####
Dr. W. Pierre Robert Or Dr. Scott- Pedis, same office- Baylor G'vine. Just great staff & bedside. Dr. Robert is willing to listen to you & get your feedback & really values your maternal insticts; Dr. Scott is a little more "take charge"- "this is the problem" 817817-###-###-####

Hi B.!
You have been given tons of great referrals, but I would like to add my 2 cents. : )
First, Our pedi is Dr. Mangham. She is located off Rufe Snow and Keller Pkwy. She is in the Cooks Children network. Her # ###-###-####. I have 2 girls (3yrs and 14 mo) that have been seeing her since day 1 and we love her! She is very patient and is a great listener. I would advise to definately use someone in the Cooks network.
Second, my OB is downtown FW, but worth the drive. Her name is Dr Robbins and I was blessed to have found her. Her # is ###-###-####.
Third, I really love the Terrace Retreat in Southlake town square.
Congratulations on your new baby!! Little girls are so precious... : ) Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions, advice or just need to vent : ) ____@____.com
Good luck,
B.
B.,
I absolutely love my OB/GYN... Dr. Maurice Gagnon. He delivers at Baylor Grapevine, has an office there; but he also has an office in Keller. Since I live in Keller, that is super convenient. He was also easier to get in to see than most of the female docs I tried first. Gave up on that and found him! He was voted best doc by his Dallas peers last year. He's a grandpa - has a daughter in her early 30's. My husband loved going in there, since he felt so comfortable with him. I've referred three other friends to him, and they love him too. His phone is ###-###-####. The website is www.myobg.com
We also love Cook Children's doctors. There are several offices, but we go to Drs. Matlock and Yok at the location off Davis and Keller Pkwy -- also conveniently right across the street from Dr. Gagnon!
Congratulations on the new baby! Hope it all goes well, and let me know if you have any questions about the Keller area. We love it here!

Welcome to the area! It looks like you've received numerous recommendations, but here are mine, too:
OB - Gilda Cipriano in Bedford (Hwy 121 and Hospital Pkwy, across from Harris-Methodist HEB Hospital) - Everyone in the office has always been pleasant to deal with. Dr. Cipriano has a great bedside manner and takes time with each patient. (When I was looking I had also heard great things about Dr. Julia Flowers, but wasn't able to get in to see her for several months.)
Hair Stylist - I've gone to Salon Cheveux in Bedford (Hwy 121 and Harwood) for over 10 years. I've used Bob, Sheila and Rachael and would recommend any of them. Each takes the time to find out what you are looking for and will make suggestions as to ways it might be improved, if they have any, without pressuring you to do something with which you are not comfortable.
Good luck! I hope you find the doctors and stylist that are right for you. :o)
Hi B.,
I have lived in Southlake for 8 years and i really like my pediatrician. His name is Dr. Tran (he also lives in Southlake)and has two kids. He is very nice and caring and most importantly is very good at diagnosing and treating my kiddos ages 3 and 7. We have used him for 5 years or so now. He is in Grapevine (really close to southlake). The office number is ###-###-####. They also have three other doctor's in that office with another location in Irving and office hours on Saturdys from 8-12. Also, we use Dr. Cody Mihills...Great!
I use Dr. Wai as my OB. He is in Baylor Grapevine hospital and I have used him for 10 years. He is excellent as well. If you prefer a woman, Dr. Julia Flowers is supposed to be one of the best. She is also in Baylor Grapevine.
As for a great hair stylist, I use Tory lane Salon off of Davis Blvd in North Richland Hills. Call and ask for Alan Lohse. He is very, very good. He is my good friends husband who I have known for years. (he's not gay...if you were wandering). His prices are great...I pay $85 for cut and 3 colors.
Hope that helps you out....if you want to call my cell phone feel free.

As far as Pediatricians...Dr. Shuri gets a high rating from my Moms group. I too however am looking for a new OB :-(
Dr. Pierre Robert out of Baylor Grapevine. (Ped.) Wonderfully kind and caring.
Dr. Rebecca Robert out of Baylor Grapevine. (OB) I had a very high risk pregnancy and she worked very well with my two perinatologists (one of which was her mentor.) I owe her alot!
(The Robert's are actually married.)
Jersey or Sky at Terrace Retreat Salon in Southlake. It is located in Town Sqaure. Sky is a great stylist and Jersey is a great colorist.
Good luck!
Great hair stylist in Fort Worth - Jack Garrison, owner of the Garrison Moore Salon on Camp Bowie Blvd. He's very outgoing and personable and you will love what he does with your hair.

I found a great OB in Hurst. Dr. Charles Safely. He is in the building nest to the N Hills Hospital. There is also a salon called High Tower Salons. Go ask for Jean and she is real good.
Congrats on your new baby girl!!
I have found an OB/GYN that I absolutely love! His name is Dr Ryan, and he has an office in the Harris SW hospital. I believe the group is called Women's Health Group... I really love their offices because the first preg I saw him with, I ended up miscarrying and was very impressed with how he and his staff handled it. I had to call him after hours during the miscarriage and he never made me feel like I was interrupting him in any way. My next preg I carried to term and ended up having a VBAC. He wasn't thrilled about it, but he knew how important it was to me. He filled me in on all the information I needed to know to make the decision and left it up to me (after telling me that if anything arose that alarmed him, we'd do another C-section anyways). He was always very considerate during "those" check-ups, as well. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at sey681 at yahoo. com!
welcome to fort worth! i have a five week old son and recently had to go through the process of choosing a pediatrician as well. i visited with a lot of doctors, but decided on dr. fricker at kidcare pediatrics on keller parkway. he is young and works great with me and my newborn. i also like the front office staff which is very important. i have called a lot true to new mom form and they are always very patient and helpful.
i have gone to amanda busch at old world salon on precinct line/hwy 26 for almost 8 years. she is the best in the area!
My OB/Gyn is Dr Jonathan Snead at Alliance Women's Healthcare in Keller. I honestly came across him by pure chance. I was having some strange things going on and ended up in the ER and he was on call. Turns out I had an ovarian cyst that wasn't going away on its own. He is awesome! Although I haven't experienced a pregnancy/delivery with him, he did my surgery for my ovarian cyst. He came in while I was in the surgery prep area and calmed me as it was my first experience with anesthesia. He also asked me if I'd mind him saying a prayer for my health and the success of the surgery. I was blown away by that and very touched. All of my visits to him since then have been great. He's very thorough and very easy to talk to.
He's at:

I am sure you will find great doctors here. Years ago when we lived in New Orleans my husband thought he was having a heart attack. He works for Exxon and the bosses called him to tell him they would fly him her as the doctors are the best. Turned out ot be ulcers but I think Baylor is a great place to start. I have a Day Care at home and one of my customers uses Omar Gomez ###-###-####, Kid Care Pediatrics 940 Keller Parkway Ste 280, Keller, Tx 76248 Their baby weighed 1.9 and he is a healthy baby so I do not know from experience but he probably is good.

I love my OB! His name is Dr. Troy New and he is located at Baylor in Grapevine. He spends lots of time with you and he is very gentle. I have never felt uncomfortable with him, he is just so professional. He has also done a D&C and hysterectomy for my mom and her twin sister and they love him as well.
I had terrible experiences with Kid Care Pediatrics so I wouldn't recommend them.
My son sees Dr. David Nichols in Southlake. They are part of the Cook's Childrens network. He is very professional and answers any questions you my have. The office staff is also very organized and courteous. Good luck!
