Like other women on yelp... if I could give Dr. Abikhalid 6 stars I would too!…read more Office is clean, beautiful. Staff are nice, her appts run pretty much on time. Im a GenXer, entering perimenopause at 49yrs old. I just moved to TX fm Southern California where I had access to some of the best medical in the world HOAG, UCLA, USC medical centers. Looking back I was prob in peri around age 44-45 with heavy cycles, brainfog, back sweats, major insomnia. She was one of the ONLY MD's who actually listened, saw and heard me. Its NOT normal to "deal with our next phase female symptoms". I went for a second opinion on a hysterectomy after seeing another gyn who I felt was treating me like a paycheck vs a patient. I was also gaining weight at a rapid amt which has never happened in my entire life. Dr. Abikhaled listened to me, explained why I am indeed a candidate for a hysterectomy based on my labs, ultrasound, biopsy, symptoms. She was also transparent sharing if I didn't feel comfortable or confident with her, she had 2 other colleagues she could refer me to. THIS is the type of medicine I need for me. Dr. Abikhalid is also a very clear communicator. She is very frank while having a nice bedside manner which I appreciate. Fast forward to pre-surgery consultation, based on my case I discussed keeping my ovaries bc Im not in full meno yet and didn't want to slam into meno like some of my friends did. She agreed that was a good option for me. I had my hysterectomy, preserving my ovaries via robotic surgery. It was 90min, outpatient. She was sure to have my pain meds ordered ahead of time. I had 4 small incisions from the surgery. No bleeding. I was off oxy on day 3. Managed pain with Tylenol/motrin. 1 week out I felt pretty strong, an ab binder would have been useful for the 1st 2 weeks esp for sleeping so buy 1 ahead of time (amazon has tons). Helps for ab core support. 3 weeks I was doing short walks outside yet still got fatigued pretty easily. Got back on my hrt patch and no more brain fog, no more insomnia, no more swollen hands and ankles. 6weeks I felt strong and fatigue finally was gone. I was cleared to do light weights again. Im at 8weeks. Im back exercising. Lifting up to 30lb. Back to weight training. Feeling strong, clear headed, no more swelling in my feet/ankles, insomnia is very little and i still get "mild" back sweats around 2/3am. Nothing like pre-hysterectomy where i was sweating through my shirt. If you have peri symptoms and painful or super heavy cycles like I had that is NOT normal. See Dr. Abikahlid. She is one of the best in womens health.

Also, a good friend of mine (who is not pregnant) is a regular GYN patient of hers and had many great things to say about her. Granted I have not given birth yet, but my monthly appointments have been actually...enjoyable. Both my husband and I look forward to chatting with Dr. Grimes. She is so funny and very helpful in giving advice I truly believe in. None of this "you can't do this and you can't do that."

My 19-year-old daughter was seen today by an ARC Nurse Practitioner at the North Austin Ob/Gyn -…read moreRenfert Way, Suite#250 location for a possible medical issue. As expected, she was led to an exam room and asked to disrobe in preparation for her medical exam. While she was awaiting the Nurse, an individual knocked on the door and asked to enter. Believing it was part of her ARC medical visit, she agreed. It was not. An individual entered and presented my child with a printout asking if they wanted to take part in a gender related study involving mental health issues that may or may not involve compensation (per the printout). Per my child, they pressed her to sign up and participate. Caught off guard by this unexpected intruder, my child responded they would speak with their mother first and took a picture of the handout to be polite. Again, my child was disrobed in the exam room awaiting an ARC medical professional when this individual entered on a completely unrelated matter and solicited them to take part in a study that had NOTHING to do with their medical care. How is ARC allowing this to occur? No one should be allowed to solicit disrobed patients inside an ARC exam room. These actions unnecessarily confused my child and made them extremely uncomfortable. If ARC wishes to setup a table in the office lobby for outside solicitors to attract interested parties, then so be it, but to allow them to enter exam rooms with disrobed patients is unacceptable and should be stopped immediately. Again, this solicitor had nothing to do with the purpose of my child's medical visit and was simply seeking applicants for their study. The printout in question showed "ROC - Reach out and Connect" on the front. ARC should not allow solicitors into the exam room under any circumstances! **Response to Annie A's reply: I attempted to send this complaint via your online form on the ARC contact page you're referring to, but it failed to accept my submission. Too many characters? Don't know - it did not provide an error message. Why not share your work contact email here so I, and others, may reach out to you directly with our concerns? Isn't that the purpose of "customer service"? Also, why not share your reply to my review here so possible future ARC patients may better understand how this issue is being handled moving forward? Resolution for me will be ARC acknowledging exam room solicitations (such as my child experienced) are unprofessional and will be prevented moving forward. Thank you.

Since my first…read morevisit, I knew that this office would be my home base for all of my women's care needs , no matter how far I needed to drive. I have always recommended this office to my friends, as the office is beautiful, the staff are friendly, and the care is next level. Some years ago, I voiced my concerns to Dr. Shepherd about potentially having PCOS. She took my claim seriously and gave me a formal diagnosis, which is more than I can say about other doctors I had raised this concern to. The past couple of months, I have been going through an ectopic pregnancy, which was at first thought to be a miscarriage. Dr. Shepherd and Dana Wicker were the two primarily responsible for my care during this time. These two women were incredibly professional, informative, and diligent in care when it came to my health and the potential risks this could cause. In addition, they were kind and compassionate as my husband and I went through our loss and the health anxiety it caused. I can say with full confidence that while this experience was incredibly difficult and heartbreaking, it was made better by the bedside manner and care provided by this office. All that being said, I will continue to be a regular patient here and recommend to anyone looking for an OB/GYN.

Do not go here. This…read moreclinic is a completely different place than it was when Dr. Debo was there. They lost their only truly excellent fertility doctor years ago, and now they have OB-GYNs without fertility board certification providing care at the same premium price. The approach is completely one-size-fits-all. Patients are pushed through the system like cattle. There is no individualized care. When I tried to discuss what had worked for us previously--the protocol that resulted in the birth of our son--I was told that this new doctor (a sub from the Dallas clinic) does things the same way for everyone. Apparently personalized fertility treatment is no longer a priority. After our transfer failed, they called to tell me I was no longer pregnant. Less than an hour later, I received a $5,500 bill for the next cycle. There was no discussion about my loss, no conversation about next steps, no attempt to understand how I wanted to move forward. Just an invoice. I am now transferring to a smaller clinic in Austin that actually provides individualized care, and Kindbody has made the process unnecessarily difficult. I completed all required paperwork, yet I am being told I must wait nearly two months for a 10-15 minute "protocol call" simply to give permission--again--to transfer my embryos. I find it hard to believe that a phone call requiring a simple yes or no cannot be accommodated sooner. One employee even told me there are "so many people transferring their embryos to other clinics right now." When I responded that this didn't seem like a good sign for Kindbody, she immediately tried to walk it back. That interaction spoke volumes. The lack of personal care became especially obvious during my second transfer cycle. Patients are literally referred to as "batches." You'll hear staff talk about your batch and how many women are in it. The waiting room is packed before 7 a.m. because they continue taking on more and more patients without providing the level of care those patients deserve. At the end of the day, Kindbody feels like a business focused on volume, not families. Fertility treatment is one of the most emotional, vulnerable, and expensive experiences a person can go through. Patients deserve compassion, communication, and individualized treatment. I experienced very little of that here. Save your money, your time, and your emotional well-being. There are far better fertility clinics out there.

For starters, their communication sucks, relying solely on messages through their internal system…read moreinstead of contacting me directly. On top of that, when my wife was going through a two week long procedure, I had to take off of work to care for her during and after the procedure. I requested Kindbody to fill out FMLA paperwork to cover me for being out to take care of my wife and they refused to do so, saying that "the male gender is not eligible for FMLA." So, what I am getting from this is that I am not going to be covered for taking care of my wife during the time she is going through any medical treatment from this company. Do NOT use Kindbody if you do not have someone else that can care for your spouse during treatments in your absence.
