not sure where to post - looking for OB/GYN in Fort Worth, TX

I have no idea where to post this, but hope to get some help. I am 10 weeks pregnant with twins, and will be switching doctors because the hospital here in town does not have a NICU. I would like a recommendation of doctor(s) in Fort Worth, TX who have experience with twins. I haven't been able to find any info on my own (through searches), but hoped maybe some twinstuff members are from DFW. Any advice would be appreciated Thanks!

 

My OB was referred to me by the receptionist at my family practice Dr. I looked on my insurance website to make sure that she was part of my PPO.
My advice to you would be to try to ask friends/family for referrals, and also to go on your insurance website and find one that way. Hope it helps.

 

Do you want to be in Fort Worth proper? I grew up in Arlington - my parents still live there - and had my first baby in Dallas. I have lots of suggestions - including OBs of friends who have had twins in the area - although most are in the Dallas direction ... Presby, Baylor, etc. I'd pick someone who delivers at Harris for Fort Worth specifically, I think.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you a list.

 

My old OB (who delivered my oldest) retired, but we had him at Harris Methodist downtown. Overall I had a great experience there. I'm not exactly sure where you're looking specifically (I'm from Saginaw/Eagle Mountain Lake!) but let me check with some of my friends and see what they know.

 

One more thought that I meant to include in my post above - one of my college roommates is an OB at Baylor Dallas - and of course she is biased - but she has emphasized, and I believe it's true, the fact that Baylor Dallas has the most advanced NICU in the area. We had about 6 weeks where we thought that we were having mo-mo twins, which are very high risk. We have moved to south Texas since we had our first baby (the one in Dallas) and my current OB is in Austin; had the twins turned out to be mo-mo, my OB friend was encouraging me to come camp out in Dallas for the duration of the pregnancy simply because Baylor's NICU is superior. That might be a consideration for you if you have any indication that you are at higher risk for any problems ...

 

I am west of Fort Worth in Weatherford, so I would not want to go further east than Fort Worth. I cannot use Harris because they don't accept my insurance, but I can use Baylor All Saints. They have a level III NICU and are associated with the Dallas hospital as well. I know lots of women who have delivered in Fort Worth, just don't know anyone who has had twins. Thanks again for any suggestions.
