I recently moved to Dallas and had to find a new doctor. My parents were both doctors, so I'm pretty picky about my health care. I don't think I could've picked a better doctor in the Dallas area than Dr. Hollenshead.
The office is very nice and in a convenient location for me. It has a parking structure with free parking right next to it. At first it was hard to find though because the main entrances to the building go to the apartments. The office has it's own entrance outside facing the street, though and was easy enough to find once I realized my mistake.
Dr. Hollenshead and her staff are great. They're all very nice and super thorough. They don't do anything unnecessary, but make sure that they aren't overlooking any reason for your illness or discomfort. She does things that make sense, like giving you refills for your maintenance medications (like for asthma or things that you're always going to need) so you don't have to make an appointment or call just to get them refilled and she'll also give you samples if she can, which doesn't happen quite as often as it used to at doctors offices. (There are fewer samples given out by pharmaceutical reps these days) Dr. Hollenshead also treats you very well, you don't feel like you're just another patient when you go to her office. It's almost like going to see a friend ... who fixes you when you're sick.
They'll also try to accommodate your schedule if they can. I date a teacher who had a hard time finding the time to go to the doctor, so would go instead to Redicare. This ended up being problematic when Bronchitis turned into a light case of Pneumonia and the doctors at Redicare missed it. I urged my significant other to go see Dr. Hollenshead and not only did they make time at the end of the day for the appointment, they found the problem, realized Redicare had missed the Pneumonia and then took steps to kick the breathing problems that were a result. It was a HUGE difference than hearing the Redicare doctors act as if they didn't care and then actually say "there isn't anything else I can do, you'll have to go to the hospital if it doesn't work." Well, the whole point to going to a doctor is to avoid going to the hospital (even with insurance, those bills are outrageous). So, it's good to find someone who cares enough to make sure their patients are taken care of. It's pretty evident that Dr. Hollenshead does and it seems like she really enjoys her job. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a new doctor. read more
