Lisa P. Otey, MD — Greater Houston Gynecology is located at 2010 Naomi St, Suite C, in Houston, Texas. The Naomi St address is in the Montrose and Museum District area of central Houston, a culturally diverse and walkable urban neighborhood adjacent to the Texas Medical Center (TMC), Rice University, and Hermann Park. The TMC is the world's largest medical complex, making central Houston one of the most resource-rich medical environments in the United States. Dr. Lisa P. Otey is a gynecologist serving patients in central Houston and the surrounding inner-loop communities of Midtown, Upper Kirby, West University, and River Oaks. Texas does not have a state fertility insurance mandate. For a full list of Texas fertility resources, visit the Texas fertility clinics page.
Physicians and Clinical Team
Dr. Lisa P. Otey is a gynecologist providing focused gynecologic care at Greater Houston Gynecology. Solo or small-group gynecology practices like this one can offer a more personalized care experience, with consistent access to the same physician rather than a large multispecialty group rotation. Gynecologists are board-certified OB/GYN physicians; a gynecology-only practice does not provide obstetric delivery services but focuses on the full range of gynecologic conditions. Fertility evaluation—including hormone panels and assessment of conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine abnormalities—is within the standard scope of gynecologic practice.

Laboratory and Success Rates
Greater Houston Gynecology is a gynecologic practice, not an ART clinic. It does not maintain an IVF laboratory. Fertility-relevant diagnostics including ovarian reserve testing and pelvic ultrasound can be ordered and managed through a gynecology practice. Patients requiring IUI, IVF, or subspecialty reproductive endocrinology care would be referred to an REI at one of the many world-class fertility practices affiliated with or adjacent to the Texas Medical Center.
Patients who proceed to ART should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
The Montrose/Museum District location is in one of Houston's most vibrant urban neighborhoods, with proximity to the TMC, Hermann Park, Rice Village, and easy access from the 610 Loop and US-59. Central Houston patients from Midtown, Montrose, Museum District, Upper Kirby, and West University can walk, bike, or drive a short distance for gynecologic appointments. The area is also served by METRORail on the Red Line. Solo and small-group gynecology practices often provide more personalized scheduling and continuity of care than larger hospital-affiliated clinics.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Texas does not mandate fertility insurance coverage. Gynecologic visits, annual preventive care, and diagnostic testing are covered under most commercial health insurance plans subject to copays and deductibles. Fertility treatments including IUI and IVF are generally not covered in Texas unless an employer specifically includes fertility benefits. Patients should verify coverage for specific fertility-related diagnostics—such as ovarian reserve testing—before scheduling.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a gynecology-only practice versus a full OB/GYN practice? A gynecology-only practice focuses exclusively on women's reproductive health outside of pregnancy and delivery. This specialization can mean more scheduling flexibility, a calmer office environment without labor and delivery emergencies competing for appointment slots, and a physician whose entire clinical focus is on gynecologic conditions. Patients who want obstetric care and delivery will need a separate provider.
Is the Naomi St location close to the Texas Medical Center? Yes. 2010 Naomi St in the Montrose/Museum District area is approximately one to two miles north of the main Texas Medical Center campus. This proximity means easy access to TMC-affiliated specialists, including reproductive endocrinologists, if referral is needed.
Can Dr. Otey help me if I suspect I have PCOS? Yes. PCOS diagnosis and management is a standard part of gynecologic practice. A gynecologist can order relevant bloodwork (LH, FSH, testosterone, DHEAS, insulin), perform a pelvic ultrasound, review your menstrual history, and develop a treatment plan—whether the goal is symptom management, ovulation regulation, or fertility optimization.
Does this practice accept walk-in patients or offer same-day appointments? Appointment availability varies at solo and small-group practices. Contact Greater Houston Gynecology directly to inquire about new-patient scheduling and same-day availability for urgent concerns.
