C- Section Delievery

Jane Nokleberg did mine and she is fantastic!!! She's down at Presby Dallas, the entire group is great! OBGYN associates of Dallas.

K.-I can't tell from your post if you just prefer a c-section because you don't want to deliver vaginally, or if you need one. Hospitals want to lessen their c-section rates so they grill doctors for doing what they (the hospitals) think are unnecessary c-sections. If you just WANT to have a c-section, even if your doctor agrees to it, he or she will have to try to find a medical reason for it. Not always easy. Dr. Christopher Riegel in Plano (his patients deliver at Presbyterian Plano) is an excellent ob-gyn and surgeon. He tries his best to make his patients happy. You could always call him (or any doctor) to discuss it before choosing a doctor. Best wishes to you.

Give Dr. Autrey's office a call at ###-###-####. He is located off of 75 and Forest at Medical City Dallas Hospital. If you want a C-Section, he will do it....no questions asked. His office takes cash and all insurances except Medicaid. Good luck. I know you will like him.

Dr. Dennis Eisenberg. he delivers at medical center of plano on coit and 15th. i LOVE him. he was so good to me my entire pregnancy, did an excellent job with the c section and is just a great person in general.

My wife had a good c-section experience at Presby Dallas on Walnut Hill. Dr. Gray performed it.

Dr. Paul b. Payne
he is awesome and delivered both of mine by c-sec. He delivers at Baylor Dallas.

his office is in Dallas separate from the hospital

I go to Dr. Greg Chapman at Health Central Women's and he will do a c-section if necessary and his staff is very nice.

Good Luck!

Try Dr Todd Ruk at Dallas and Plano Medical Center. He has performed all 3 of my C-setions (2 elective) and he has been great.

I use and absolutely love Dr. Greve in Mansfield and Arlington. He's with the Matlock OBGYN group. He did a CSection on me and I had no problems. Excellent Hopsital and excellent staff in his office. I do not know if he does elective c sections but from what I understand nowadays I believe a woman now has the option to choose a c section if they want it. I have an alomost 4 year old daughter that I delivered vaginally and I have an almost 2 year old daughter who was born by the c section route. She was supposed to be a BIG baby and Dr. Greve was concerned about Shoulder Distocia so he wanted to do a c section. My little sweetie weighed in at 7 lbs. even so I could have delivered her just fine vaginally and I would have because my first labor and delivery was actually a breeze. But it did turn out that her umbilical cord was wrapped several times around her neck. So we were happy with our choice to do a c section after all. However, looking back on it now I do wish I delivered her vaginally because it was truly such an incredible experience. I felt like such a powerful woman when I popped my first daughter out. It was actually something truly incredible instead of scary or painful to me.

I hope you find a doctor who will honor your decision to have a c section. You do deserve to have the birth experience you desire. But please think about delivering vaginally as well because I think you will be so proud of yourself when you are through. And once your baby is in your arms you will be so happy you will forget what just happened.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.

I think what you need to focus on is finding the best OB for you as well as the best hospital for you. Any Dr who delivers and is good at it, will do an excellent job with c-s as well as vaginal deliveries. Find a Dr who provides you with excellent ongoing care and you'll be good. It's not like there are Drs that advertise doing c-s only. Given the higher risks for complications, costs and longer recovery time associated w/c-s, you're just not going to find that unless there's a legitimate medical need. I can't tell if this is your first, or if there's a medical reason for having a c-s in your case. There may very well be. I had a c-s with my son, and used Dr Brothers. She was excellent.
