Modern OB/GYN Allen

You can imagine my husband and my joy as we went to see Dr. Carino after we found out we were pregnant for the first time. I’m not sure if she was having an off day or what, but she couldn’t have be less enthusiastic, and that was disheartening. I had only seen her once before a year prior for a yearly exam, so I’m sure she didn’t recognize me. Upon coming into the room, she didn’t greet me by name, and never even asked my husband’s name! For us, establishing this relationship for the birth of our first child was very important, and her demeanor was strictly professional, only asking us very clinical questions, with no warmth or support for our long list of questions. To top it off, she made sure to inform us that upon delivery time, there is a chance she wouldn’t be present because she can’t work ²⁴⁄₇. We aren’t idiots, and we know this, but it was not comforting for her to let us know that on day one. I only got about an hour out of the appt before having my small file transferred to a much better, albeit further in distance, doctor. I’m disappointed that she couldn’t even muster up excitement for us as we heard our baby’s heart beat for the first time! I can’t imagine her being by my side through the happiest, most emotional experience of our lives. No thanks.

I was disappointed with the service here. I came in for irregular periods and lower pelvic pain and got an ultrasound and blood test done. I had to call them a total of five times over the course of two weeks to get the results of my blood test… And when they finally called back she just said «everything’s normal». So, I requested the test results to be send over and when I received them I found that one of the hormone levels was actually low and if I hadn’t requested the test to be send over I would’ve never even found out. Anyhow, the problems I have still persist and they have not requested a follow up appointment or recommended anything and quite frankly it seems like they don’t care.

Sorry to say but I had very very bad experience with Dr. Megan Carreno who recently delivered by first baby on December 26^th, 2014. Had C-​section delivery… which took 6 long hrs to complete.
Why? Cause Docter ruptured my bladder during the surgery, they had to call Urologist Sargon… who had to come from Dallas to Allen location; meanwhile for 2 hrs I was in the operation theater lying on the table with lots of pain medication putting me to sleep… my feet was very badly swellen
After 5 days staying in hospital I came home with a newborn baby, a urinal catheter (as my bladder was ruptured) and incredibly huge swelled feet (due to lots of pain medicine, high dose antibiotic).
Even after 2 weeks with urinal catheter, the Urologist told us, my bladder hasn’t heel yet & he is not sure when it will heel completely.
So I am very disappointed & frustrated about this, I can’t hold my baby properly or do breastfeeding because of my condition.
FYI; this is my first baby after 10 long years of marriage.
I am not going to visit this doc. for my next pregnancy

HORRIBLE, UNPROFESSIONAL, DISORGANIZED SERVICE. AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! I sat in the room after my appointment for thirty minutes before anybody told me I was finished. I was given orders for labs and a mammogram but no instructions for where, when, and how to schedule the appointments. When I returned for an ultrasound follow-​up, I was told I missed my appointment. Apparently, the appointments were scheduled separately but the automated voice reminder only confirms the MD appointment and not the appointment with the ultrasound technician. VERY FRUSTRATING. I’m a nurse and by the WORST standard, this is terrible patient care/​service.

Dr Meredith is awesome. I have had several doctors over the years, not seeming to find the right one. Then I found Modern OB/​GYN in Allen. Dr Meredith was very helpful and encouraging. I was having lots of pain and have been told by other doctors that I shouldn’t have a hysto b/​c I was too young and only had one kid and blah blah blah. Dr Meredith supported my decision and made my experience wonderful.

Dr. Merideth helped my wife through one of the most difficult pregnancies as well as other curve balls life has thrown our way and we couldn’t have done it without her. HIGHLY recommend. Couldn’t be happier with a doctor.

I’m writing this on behalf of all ladies looking for a terrific, and I mean TERRIFIC, ob/​gyn. I saw Dr. Megan Carreno and she’s wonderful. I’m new to the area and am so glad to have found her and happy she’s on my (new) list of doctors for the Dallas area. She’s great at putting one’s mind at ease, is very informative and shows a great deal of compassion, as well. Her staff members are awesome, the office is nice and I couldn’t be happier with my overall experience.
Dr. Cerreno discussed all of my options and talked to me more like I was her friend as opposed to her patient. I believe her philosophy to be less is more — so, you don’t have to worry about her scheduling you for a bunch of tests or exams that you don’t, but she will encourage you to do what you should to keep yourself healthy. I got the feeling that Dr. Carreno put herself «in my shoes» to work with me during my visit. She’s a very nice and non-​judgmental doctor.
I would bet money that Dr. Meredith is equally as awesome. I spoke to her briefly on my way out of the office and she was really friendly and helpful too.
