I have been seeing Dr. Allon here in houston for the past year and a half, and while I feel he is knowledgeable about PCOS, I have had some issues with his staff. Specifically with them billing my insurance incorrectly multiple times. Also, I always feel pressured to buy lots of supplements and stuff like that.

I am 24, single, and not even close to be ttc unfortunately so I am just looking for a RE to treat the PCOS for its own sake. Prefer a doctor that is very proactive in treatment, personable, and non judgemental.

I could also use suggestions for gyns. I have had my last two yearly's at Dr. Allon's office with his practioner, which is convenient but I would like to find a good gyn separate from my RE. Although one that is familiar with PCOS. Prefer a female gyn, don't really care on the RE. I live downtown so anything inside the loop is pretty easy.

I have been to several drs in the past that had little more than a passing knoweldege of PCOS and weren't really willing to do much more than give me the pill and tell me to diet and excercise since I was not ttc. I wish I, and my parents, had been more aggressive when I was 15 and 200 lbs instead of settling and letting myself get up to 300 lbs. I'm sure I'm not the only person on here with this type of experience.

I highly recommend an Ob/Gyn named Dr. Allan Katz at the University of Texas Women's Center (UTPhysicians) in the Medical Center. 1-888-4UT-DOCS

I usually see an OB/GYN/ENDO there, but I saw Dr. Katz for a purely Gyn issue, and he is amazing. We sat in his office and he took my thorough history himself, and he was very encouraging and kind.

As for Endo... sadly, I'm not really happy with my doc, either -- so if anyone else in Houston has a good one, please let us know!! =)
