Good McKinney Medical Center OB/GYN? (Plano, Allen: live, law, suites)

[outlawturtle]

Does anyone have any recommendations for great OB/GYNs in or around the McKinney area or McKinney Medical Center? How about the medical center itself...their website makes it sound like a great place and it looks like they have a level II NICU? We just relocated to the McKinney/Frisco area and my wife is due with our first in January! My wife prefers a female OB/GYN but if a great male one exists she could deal with that too.

We also prefer a doctor that does not schedule all deliveries by C-Section so they can have their weekends off...we have heard some horror stories from friends. Thanks in advance!!

I don't know any OB/GYN's in McKinney, but you shouldn't have any problem finding a dr who doesn't schedule c-sec all the time if you stay in that area. Plano is known as the #1 city in Texas for planned c-sec, so stay out of Plano. I begged my dr for an inducement when I was pregnant a few months ago, but he wouldn't do it. I had PUPPP which is an allergic reaction to the baby, and I was miserable, but he didn't think it warranted inducing or c-sec. I'm glad all my begging didn't sway him!

Congrats!

We see Dr. Pauline Petrovski at Centennial in Frisco (121 & Coit). My sister in law recently started going there.

We're due Christmas day. Another doctor in the office is oncall that day, but she's oncall right after that. And said she'd be there if I needed a c-section. She has privileges at Centennial and Plano Presby, but our doula said that Presby has a 50% c-section rate and they try very hard to have all deliveries during business hours. Centennial is a bit more relaxed.

Do you need a Level II NICU?

Thanks for all the information so far! We do not need a level II NICU, but I just saw it as something that made McKinney Medical Center stand out a little from the rest. Does Centennial have private birthing suites and postpartum rooms?

Cortney Trylovich delivered one of my grand babies and now we have another on the way. My Daughter-in-law really likes her. Trylovich is Plano Presby and my son's family lives in McKinney. Don't know if she's taking on new patients.

We haven't toured yet, but according to their literature:

9 LDR suites, 2 ORs, and 20 antepartum/postpartum rooms, all private. The LDR suites have private baths with shower, phone, cable TV, and sleeper chairs.

Level III NICU and 32 bed normal nursery

And now apparently a 'concierge service'

They also have a Celebration Dinner for mom and partner...

My Dr. is Dr. Allen. They are all great though. Highly recommend. NCWHP
