Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Infant died suffered head injury
Our baby died several weeks, after birth. He was the on call doctor, at Baylor, for Dr. Martin Read at the time. He suffered a traumatic head injury- which Dr. Decker informed my husband of, right after birth. His autopsy confirmed a subdural hemorrhage which the pathologist confirmed is something that occurs, at birth.

I love Dr. Decker. He has been my OB/GYN for 22 years. I have had 4 children under his care, including 1 c-section and 2 VBACs. He has been very caring throughout the years and always real. He is very intuitive and always listens. He helped save the life of one of my children that had “no chance” according to 99.9% of doctors.

Do not trust him. After a c-section, I was hemorrhaging and no one in his partners could reach him. Another Dr had to save my life.

He's been my obgyn for over 20 years. Delivered all three of my children. I've had one other surgery and two d & C's as well. Takes all the time you need and truly cares about his patients.

Excellent doctor and excellent staff. He explains procedure and results with as much detail as possible. I had issues with birth control with I use for PCOS and he has helped with trying to find one that works well and has also helped with finding different treatments for the PCOS which my previous doctors didn't. I had a LEEP procedure done which he explained well before starting. His nurse explained her own experience with the procedure. They truly do an excellent job.

I am happy tomsay Dr Decker has been my OBGYN for approx 31 years and was able to deliver all three of my children AND performed surgery for another issue, so I do know. I am very grateful for the care and concern he has always shown me. He's always taken the necessary tests or steps to be sure of the path that needs to be taken. He will not blow you off, nor your issues. You want a bubbly personality or a caring, experienced,knowledgeable doctor to take care of you?

Steer clear, he is not a virtuous care provider. You will be better off receiving care from someone else.

I've been seeing Dr Decker for 28 years. He is the kindest doctor, very knowledgeable, and wonderful bedside manner.! Can't imagine anyone not having a pleasant experience with him or his staff. Would give a 10 star rating if I could!

Rhonda in Ft Worth, TX – Jan 06, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Decker?
He's one of the few doctors I've known who really, truly listens, & doesn't write off elusive symptoms as "stress". He delivered my 2 babies over 20 yrs ago, & helped me through some complex, difficult health issues thereafter. Very knowledgeable. I'm surprised to see a bad review from someone who says he has "horrible bedside manner" and is "egotistical". Maybe there's more to the story, or the person confused him with someone else. In over 27 years of his care, I've never seen him be that way.
