Overview
John A. Whitfield, MD, brings more than three decades of exceptional gynecological healthcare training and experience to women in the Fort Worth, Texas area. After graduating from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, he relocated to Dallas for a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Parkland Memorial Hospital. He loved this area and decided to start his practice in Fort Worth. What he found was a wonderful medical community, patients, and colleagues which helped build a thriving practice. Over the years, he has strived to provide compassionate and expert care in a professional and friendly environment. Practicing obstetrics has been a wonderful opportunity to participate in building families that make up his community, and gynecology has allowed him to provide care to thousands of DFW women from the teens, through the reproductive years and into menopause. Modern women’s healthcare means options and choices, and as medical science develops, so do treatment options. Dr. Whitfield has strived to stay abreast of the latest developments and has continued to position himself as one who can offer contemporary treatments to his patients. Obstetrics and Gynecology is a very diverse specialty, and staying current with developments in essentially two specialties has become a challenge within his specialty. So, after delivering over 2000 babies to area families, he decided to pursue an ongoing passion and focus his practice exclusively on gynecology and gynecologic surgery. What he has found is that more and more women are, in fact, choosing to see someone who specializes exclusively in gynecology, and the reasons are many. Your time is important, you are looking for someone who specializes in the problems that pertain to you, and you are looking for a higher level of service and care. Dr. Whitfield’s staff has been carefully chosen as professional, friendly, and helpful individuals who have been thoroughly trained in gynecology to provide expert care in a warm and compassionate setting. They are not just interested in outcomes, but also in you as a person and your story. Furthermore, providing a high level of service that exceeds your expectations is their goal. Dr. Whitfield and his team look forward to meeting you and taking care of your needs. They are excited about the possibility of creating a trusting and caring healthcare partnership with you.
