Brothers and Crochet

Well my experience with this practice has been ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. I’ve moved away now to Colorado. But was a long time patient of Dr. Melissa Crochet I followed her since she left UTSW. She’s a wonderful Dr as are all her partners. I don’t have many complaints besides the usual ridiculous wait time to be seen, make sure you take the full morning or afternoon off because you will be there 3 hours or longer, the front desk receptionist isn’t the most pleasant it amazes me that she’s been there as long as she has. You’d think it would kill her to smile. Now the rest of the staff has been pretty much helpful I just wish they would have a live person to attend to my needs when I’m calling and not have me always leave a voice mail it’s the most frustrating situation to be in.
One of my last visits was rather funny, I waited my usual hour and 45 minutes to be seen, I finally get placed in a room an after another 45 mins, I felt they might of forgot about me. So walk out into the hallway to see my fave doctor (Crochet) just sitting there playing words with friends. LOL I couldn’t help but laugh. I guess she has a life too LOL.
Best wishes…
I’d still highly recommend Crochet and her great group of staff, after all the run around they give you in the end you will be taken care of. (;

I am a patient of Dr. Crochet’s for over 15 years and recently had to see Dr. Fields-​Walker due to a conflict of last minute appt. I made. I can tell you that regardless of anything else, they are VERY caring, listening attentive, understanding and non-​judgemental. Both doctors are different in their own right, but have truely been blessed with both doctors. Crochet delivered my two children and I can tell you that during my first delivery there were some issues of having to go to do a C-​section, but upon hearing my concern and seeing other options, Dr. Crochet listened to me and used her experience to get me through a vaginal delivery. I absolutely would recommend either doctor. I have gone in for several issues related to ob and they have always assisted me through it all. Staff may need additional training based on other reviews, but my experience with Dr. Crochet’s nurse has been great. They do require you go through nurse, but if you let receptionist know you MUST talk to doctor and tell the nurse so, then you let them know and they work with you. Vonda and Debbie, longtime employees are great staff too. I believe it’s just a busy office, but not overbearing. Would highly recommend Dr. Crochet or Fields-​Walker anytime.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my doctor, Dr. Angela Fields-​Walker and the waiting room is nice… that is where my appreciation for this place ends.
Dr. Fields-​Walker takes amazing care of her patients, she is kind, understanding and very good at her job. She had me have a breast lump checked out (even though I was only 23 at the time), just to be thorough and ensure my good health. She has also reflected on any concern I have had (such as anemia due to tiredness and bruising) so I in no way want my review of this practice to reflect negatively on her.
That being said their staff is rude and not helpful. They never let me speak to the doctor (they always filter my call through the doctor’s assistant and a million other office personnel). In addition to that they never have any idea what is going on with my file. I identify myself with all of the requested information and they continue to put me on hold for ages and insist they’ll have to call me back the next day! Why can’t they keep tabs on understanding the patient files and call me the same day… or better yet, let me speak to my doctor! I hope for the sake of the awesome physicians there that they clean up their personnel and review how they treat patients because I (and I’m sure others that have been wronged by the nurses and front desk there) am darn close to just going somewhere else.
Promise to update if anything changes. And yes, I do plan to speak to my doctor about this issue directly so they are aware of the issues.

Ok, since I see others are Unilocaling their OB/​GYN, I will too (I hate to be left out). I have been going to Dr. Crochet since probably 1999 when I moved here. She is affiliated with Baylor now (where I work) but when I started going to her she was over at St. Paul so there’s no work-​related «bias» since I liked her long before her move to Baylor. She is excellent — on top of her game and is well-​respected as a great physician (I think her office even once got a shout out in the Observers «Best of» issue). But she’s also laid back, funny, remembers what’s going on with your life the next time you come in, and is very matter-​of-​fact and to the point when discussing things with you. All of which make for a great physician and also make for being more comfortable with her staring down your nether-​regions. hehe
