In a city with no shortage of OB/GYN options, Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates of Dallas has quietly built one of the most trusted reputations in women's health in North Texas. With a 4.9-star Google rating drawn from more than 2,305 patient reviews — a volume that would be impressive for any medical practice, let alone a five-physician OB/GYN group — the practice at 3801 Gaston Avenue has earned a word-of-mouth standing that most clinics spend decades trying to achieve. For women navigating pregnancy, complex gynecological conditions, or an early evaluation for infertility concerns, this is a practice worth knowing.
Who They Are
Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates of Dallas is a physician-owned OB/GYN group located in the medical corridor along Gaston Avenue in East Dallas, adjacent to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas — one of the region's flagship academic health systems. That proximity is not incidental: the practice maintains a hospital affiliation with Baylor University Medical Center, meaning physicians deliver babies and perform surgical procedures in one of Dallas's most recognized hospital environments.
The practice currently includes five physicians: Dr. Steven Harris, MD, Dr. Ashwin Gaitonde, MD, Dr. Linden Collins, MD, Dr. Kyle Spencer, MD, Dr. Tiffany Hong, MD, and Dr. Richard Wagner, DO. Dr. Harris, who has accumulated more than 1,400 patient ratings with a near-perfect 5.0 score on Real Patient Ratings, is retiring in May 2026 — a transition worth noting for established patients who may need to transfer care within the practice. The remaining physicians each maintain satisfaction scores of 97–99%, an unusual uniformity that suggests the practice's culture of patient care runs deep rather than residing in a single individual.
What They Treat
This is a full-service OB/GYN practice, not a dedicated reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) clinic. That distinction matters, and it is worth understanding clearly before booking an appointment.
Obstetrical services span the full arc of pregnancy: preconception preparation, prenatal care, genetic testing, high-resolution 3D and 4D ultrasounds, management of both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies, labor and delivery at Baylor University Medical Center, and comprehensive postpartum care including breastfeeding support and contraception counseling.
Gynecological services are extensive: well-woman exams, Pap testing, HPV management and vaccination, STI screening, a full range of birth control options, pelvic sonography, breast care, PCOS evaluation and management, stress and anxiety care, incontinence evaluation and treatment, ovarian cyst care, fibroid management, and menopause care.
Surgical capabilities are a particular strength. The practice performs in-office hysteroscopy, minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures, and robotic surgery — addressing endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, hysterectomy (abdominal and vaginal), incontinence procedures, and pelvic organ prolapse reconstruction. For women with endometriosis, in particular, the availability of robotic surgical expertise within a trusted OB/GYN relationship is clinically meaningful.
Infertility evaluation and treatment is listed as a formal service. The practice offers infertility evaluations and treatment for common causes, with explicit attention to PCOS-related infertility. However, patients should be clear-eyed about what this means in the context of a general OB/GYN practice: the focus is on evaluation and management of underlying causes rather than advanced assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI). If your infertility workup points toward the need for IVF cycles, the physicians here are likely to coordinate a referral to a dedicated REI specialist — and their Baylor affiliation makes that handoff well-connected.
Understanding the Review Volume
A 4.9-star average across 2,305 Google reviews is not a statistic to scroll past. Most medical practices in the United States have fewer than 100 Google reviews; practices with 500 or more are considered highly reviewed. A practice with over 2,000 reviews at 4.9 stars is operating in a category that few reach.
The Real Patient Ratings platform — a verified review system for healthcare providers — corroborates this, showing 4,010 verified ratings and a 98.4% satisfaction score. Review themes are consistent across all physicians: "excellent listeners," "friendly and efficient" staff, patients who feel "well-cared for and respected." That consistency across six physicians suggests a practice-wide culture rather than a single star provider.
In a Dallas OB/GYN market that includes large hospital-affiliated groups and national women's health networks, sustaining this level of patient experience at scale reflects a deliberate investment in care quality.
The Texas Fertility Insurance Landscape
For patients whose concerns touch on infertility, understanding Texas's insurance environment is essential. Texas does not have a comprehensive fertility insurance mandate requiring insurers to cover IVF or IUI. Under Texas Insurance Code Chapter 1366, the state requires insurers to offer (not cover) benefits for IVF when they already provide pregnancy-related benefits — a "mandate to offer" rather than a "mandate to cover." In practice, this means most Texas patients pay out of pocket for assisted reproductive technologies, or must rely on voluntary employer fertility benefits.
This is a meaningful financial consideration when deciding where in the care pathway to engage. At a practice like OB/GYN Associates of Dallas, initial infertility evaluations — bloodwork, ultrasounds, hysteroscopy — are typically covered under standard gynecological benefits, which can make starting your workup here a lower-cost entry point before potentially advancing to IVF at a dedicated REI clinic. For more information on what coverage may be available in your situation, see our fertility insurance guide by state, and our IVF cost by state breakdown.

Choosing the Right Starting Point
One of the most common mistakes in the fertility care journey is bypassing an OB/GYN evaluation and going directly to an IVF clinic before understanding what is driving the delay. For many patients, the root cause is identifiable at the OB/GYN level — irregular cycles, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, structural issues like fibroids or polyps — and addressing those conditions first can make more invasive interventions unnecessary.
OB/GYN Associates of Dallas is well-positioned to serve as that first stop, particularly for patients earlier in their diagnostic journey or managing concurrent gynecological concerns. When cases do need escalation, their Baylor University Medical Center affiliation provides infrastructure for coordinated referrals.

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.
