John A. Whitfield, MD, brings more than three decades of exceptional gynecological healthcare training and experience to women in the Fort Worth, Texas area.
After graduating from the University of Missouri-Kansas City I relocated to Dallas for a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Parkland Memorial Hospital. I loved this area, so decided to start my practice in Fort Worth. What I found were a wonderful a medical community, patients, and colleagues which helped build a thriving practice. Over the years, I have strived to provide compassionate and expert care in a professional and friendly environment. Practicing obstetrics has been a wonderful opportunity to participate in building families that make up our community. And gynecology has allowed me to provide care to thousands of DFW women from the teens, through the reproductive years and into menopause.
Modern women’s healthcare means options and choices. And as medical science develops, so do treatment options. I have strived to stay abreast of the latest developments and have continued to position myself as one who can offer contemporary treatments to my patients. Obstetrics and Gynecology is a very diverse specialty and staying current with developments in essentially two specialties has become a challenge within my specialty. So, after delivering over 2000 babies to area families, I decided to pursue an ongoing passion and focus my practice exclusively on gynecology and gynecologic surgery.
What I have found is that more and more women are, in fact, choosing to see someone who specializes exclusively in gynecology and the reasons are many. Your time is important, you are looking for someone who specializes in the problems that pertain to you, and you are looking for a higher level of service and care. My staff has been carefully chosen as professional, friendly and helpful individuals who have been thoroughly trained in gynecology to provide expert care in a warm and compassionate setting. We are not just interested in outcomes, but also in you as a person and your story. Furthermore, providing a high level of service exceeding your expectations is our goal.
My team and I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your needs. We are excited about the possibility of creating a trusting and caring healthcare partnership with you.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common, and without testing, it’s possible you could be infected without showing any signs or symptoms. The question that many women have is, when and how often should I be tested for STIs?
February was American Heart Month, an annual event to raise awareness about the country’s leading cause of death. Women carry special risks and sometimes experience symptoms differently than men.
