I never go to a family practitioner, but my husband has one in Coppell. Let me know if you are interested and I will get the information.

You have to try 21st Century Dental in Irving---they are THE BEST! I am a lot like you and I have some issues going to the dentist and I absolutely love them, my hubby does too. They have massage chairs, tv's, they will even allow you to have the nitrace gas while being worked on if its your preference. They will always offer you a drink before or after and if you have major dental work done, they will have a milkshake waiting on you afterwards if you want. They are just fabulous and I recommend them any time. Also, I had a problem with one of the hygenists being a little to "rough" for me and I mentioned it once and from then on I had a different hygenist and never had another problem-they are really good and you won't regret using them. The dentists name is Dr. Roy and the practice is 21st Century Dental on McArthur. BTW, if you want the name of the hygenist who is a little rougher, imo, pm me and I will give it to you-my husband didn't mind her so maybe I am a little sensitive. HTH

Hi M.,

Not sure if south Arlington is too far for you but I love my OB/Gyn and dentist! OB/Gyn is Dr Ellen Parrill, Medical Clinic of North Texas ###-###-####. Dentist is Dr Wayne Feil ###-###-####. My husband had a serious issue with dentists too and even he has been happy with Dr Feil. I have been going to both of them since I moved to the area 18 years ago. I live in Euless now and I make the trip down to South Arlington rather than switching. Both are in the I20 / Matlock area. Good luck with the search!

Welcome to Irving. I have lived here the majority of my life. I have seen many dentist (as I am a nervous scared person to see the dentist) and the one I see now is Dr Dennis Westmoreland, ###-###-#### wowsmiles.net he is very gentle, his staff is so nice and ensures that I understand everything that is about to happen and they hold my hand the entire time if I need it. He is always checking on me during what ever procedures is going on. For an ob I use Dr Shelley Ramos ###-###-#### tuscanobgyn.com her office is in Las Colinas near 161 & Mac Arthur is so pleasant from Carrie at the front desk to Paige and everyone else in the back. I have been through a lot with Dr Ramos from infertility through 2 pregnancies. As for a gp ours is in Colleyville - Dr Bell ###-###-#### we love him - he used to be in Irving but moved and we stayed with him. There is Dr Jeffrey Mason in Irving who we have seen from time to time and he has been good to us. Hopes this helps out. If you need anything else, feel free to e-mail me anytime ____@____.com

Took me awhile to find one I liked
Dr. Israel & staff is great and he's located by Baylor Irving off 183 & MacArthur, I even use him as my OB GYN

Hi--Dr Steven Hoffman is a wonderful, caring, and easy to talk to OB-GYN. He is right by you off Macarthur right by Las Colinas Medical Center. His phone # is ###-###-####. Tell him A. referred.

These are all wonderful doctors. I have been seeing three of the four for the last 11 years. I would have been with the other one if he had been around Baylor, but I have been with him for about 5 years. My kids have grown up with the Ped Dentist. He and his staff are wonderful. The adult dentist is the most amazing dentist. He will be very gentle and explain what he does before he does it if you let him know his fears. He does lots of volunteering in foreign coutries for people who need dental work. OB/GYN - can't say enough about his warm personality and work ethics. He saved my sister's life, so I started going to him. Never regretted changing OB/GYN doctors. Fam prac is just a wonderful, caring doctor. He doesn't do the cattle call rounds. He spends time and talks to you.

OB/GYN: Angleo Mendez/Baylor - ###-###-####
FAMILY PRAC: Eric Futscher/Baylor - ###-###-####
ADULT DENTIST: Richard Buck/Hurst - ###-###-####
PED DENTIST: John Gober/Colleyville - ###-###-####

Dr. Hugo Velez is on Las Colinas Blvd. The number is ###-###-####. He is a great dentist and very gentle. He does all the cleanings himself. I had a filling that I have had since I was 10 that needed to be replaced and the last dental work I had was my wisdom teeth removed when I was 19- I was scared to death- and he talked me through the whole thing, checked on me, made sure my jaw wasn't too tired. I would definately recommend him.

Dr. Mary Ward is our new doctor at Tiena Health. I saw someone else recommend another doctor in that practice. It is excellent- everything you need is right there. Labs, X-rays, Chiropracter- GREAT! Dr. Ward really listens and does a thorough job. I was going in for a check up and had gotten a virus the night before and was really sick- I was passing out in her office from not having enough fluids and she called my husband to come get me. Most doctors would have sat me back in the waiting room, or hurried out to see thier next patient, but she left me in the room to lay down and her and her assistant Sam checked on me every few mintues and then called me at home to see how I was doing.

I dont' have an OB/GYN in Irving, so I am looking for that too.

Good luck and Welcome to the Metroplex.

I noticed that you have a dog- I dont' know if you have found a vet. But Story Road Animal Hospital is excellent. Dr. Inmon and the other doctors there are unbelievable. I use to work for vets and am very picky about who I will take my dogs to- and they have exceeded my expectations. Everyone I refer there loves them.

I live in Las Colinas.. welcome.. I love it out here...
My Dentist is wonderful. he is on Walnut Hill and Story at Cottonwood Dental. Dr.Worton ###-###-#### tell them S. Morgan refered you..

My OB GYN is wondeful also.. His name is Dr.Hanson he is on MacArthur across from MacArthur High School... The best ever... ###-###-####

Family Doctor Dr. Feehrey he is at Tianna Health right next to Las Colinas Medical. Both my son and I go to him and his assistant Angelica they are the best! ###-###-####.

I'm very picky about my doctors and who I entrust my health to and I have found all of them to be wonderful and would not trade them at all. I've been going to each of them since I moved here 9 yrs ago and have not been disapponted...

Feel free to email me if you have questions.

Peace and Blessings..

I'd recommend a couple of docs I use in the Las Colinas area.

Dr. Edwin Matthews, primary care - ###-###-####
Dr. M. Rozas, pediatric dentist - ###-###-####
Dr. Jason Erickson, dentist - ###-###-####

My OB/Gyn is in Grapevine, so I can't help you there.

i have gone to peter sakovich in irving (on macarthur) for about 12 years now and he delivered my 4 year old. the office is always busy but he's great, if you can't get in with him in a timely manner his sister in law kim is wonderful! good luck.

it's so weird to see how many ppl I know in real life that use this site!

Whatever you do, do NOT use dr hanson @ las colinas OBGYN (lcmc). I'll tell you why on Saturday at the park. & if anyone is reading this & looking for the same advice, just msg me & I will tell YOU too!

I highly recommend Willow Bend Dental. They are exactly what you are looking for. Also if you need a hair stylist I highly recommend Conni Adams. She works in Ft. Worth and Dallas. Her # is ###-###-####. She is also a color specialist and has 18 yrs. exp. If you need a really good massage therapist, and I mean GOOD, contact T. O'Connor at ###-###-####. She has 16 yrs. exp. and does a lot of deep-tissue, pain-relief work as well as regular massage. She has a location at 635 & Marsh and also makes house calls. She charges $45 hr. if you come to her and $60 hr. to come to your home. She works 9 AM - 9 PM and on the weekends as well.

OB GYN - Dr Veronica Villalba. Her office is located in Las Colinas Medical, and she delivers there as well. She's a wonderful dr, and her office staff is great too!!!

I use Peter Sakovich, 3501 N. MacArthur Blvd, Irving, TX 75062 ###-###-####. My daughter, 22, also goes to him.

Go to Dr. Mark Godat in Dallas. He saved my life. I have been going to Dr. Godat for several years. In fact he delivered all 3 of my daughters boys. I woke up one morning vomiting. I could not get it to stop. I went to urgent care and they said I would need to go to the hospital. I called Dr. Godat and asked if he could get me in at Medical City so I would not have to wait in the emergency room. He said sure, I'm just finished delivering a baby and have another in labor, I'll take care of getting you a room. He met me outside my room and took one look at me and said we need to do a CAT scan and a spinal tap. The CAT scan did not show anything but the spinal tap was full of blood. I had a ruptured aneurysm. Dr. Godat took the time do do something for me that most Doctors would not have done. He saved my life by asking for the correct test. He found a neurosurgeon for me. The brain surgery was successful and my aneurysm was clipped. I was in the hospital for 17 days and he checked on me every day. Don't hesitate...go to the best... Dr. Mark Godat.

Mandy,

I go to Dr. John Maxey for my OB. He is in Las Colinas I absolutely love him! He is very funny and he was very understanding when I was fearful.

I would love to hear who you have chosen as a Pediatrician. I am looking to change and I'm not so sure.

I wish I could help you on the dentist part.
Good Luck and Welcome to Irving!

for your OB/GYN: Dr. MArk Godat at Medical City Dallas. He is awesome!!!

I do NOT recommend Rabile Family Dentistry--stay away. They found things wrong with my teeth that I had never even heard about from another dentist and supremely botched up my husband's wisdom tooth extraction. He had to go to Monarch Dentistry so they could fix it.
As for a family doctor, we go to Dr. Stephanie Elmore of Starcare on Walnut Hill. She is our family doctor and we also use her as our "pediatrician" for our now 15-month-old. I've never had a problem getting a last-minute appt. in her office, and the PA's there are also great. This office is really good about answering your questions and not just telling you what you have to do.

If you are interested in having another baby someday...I would suggest delivering at Dallas Presbyterian Hospital. I have had both of my children there and had a wonderful experience. I have a highly rated NICU in case something, GOd forbid, happen to your new baby. I have close friends that delivered 9 weeks premature and there little girl is 2 1/2 now and as normal as any other child. I use Dr. Walter Evans at Dallas Presby. They have a girl doctor if you prefer. The office number is ###-###-####. Dr. Evans was rated one of best doctors in D magazine. I live in Arlington and still delivered at Dallas Presby...wouldn't change doctor's or hospitals for the world. I use Dr. Jeff Borgman for my dentist. I have been going to him for 7 years and he is unbelievable. He explains everything and is very personable. I would suggest using a Pediatric Dentist for your little one when the time comes. I have one that I use in North Arlington if you would like the info. Be sure to ask if they allow the parents back w/ the child. Many practices don't...also many practices strap the child down....mine does not. THey let you hold them in your lap. Just a heads up to ask ahead of time. Good luck!
