I had to wait about 20 minutes to check in, about 7-10 minutes in the lobby while I filled out paperwork, and then an hour in the exam room (at least the nurse told me not to get undressed/change into a robe until the Dr. came in the first time!) but overall, Dr. Firpo was great. I feel like the reason she ran late was because she was probably giving everyone the same level of attention as she gave me. She was wonderful and caring and really listed. In addition to my well-woman exam (PAP smear), she also did urinalysis and an STD check at no additional cost. Her staff called promptly with results and also called in a prescription for me. She's now my primary doctor because she was so great!

My first experience with Dr Firpo was shocking Because of the two hour time lag between my appointment (10) and the time she saw me (12). She is quite friendly and seems to genuinely care about her patients. I was in for a well woman exam and plan on coming back every year, despite the wait.

She really cares about her patients. She unfortunately did not deliver my first child but took great care of me up to that point. We had a boy and she did a great job with the circumcision.

I can't say enough GREAT things about Dr. Firpo. My original OGA Dr. was too busy cramming in patients to notice that things were very wrong with my pregnancy. Dr. Firpo took over my case, delivered a healthy baby and saved my life. She has always been caring and attentive. She will listen to any of your medical problems and help you or find you a referral for your special needs. I always have to wait too long, but I know that it is because she is listening to patients and helping people, instead of spending 30-90 seconds with you like other doctors do. The general staff at OGA (check in/out, appointments, billing, etc.) are unfriendly and difficult to deal with. But, the staff and nurses inside Dr. Firpo's office are all great. And the nurses inside the Women's Hospital are amazing. Once you start with her, you will definitely want to stick with it forever.

I have had Dr. Firpo see me through 3 of my pregnancies and now she is seeing me through my fourth, and she is a wonderful doctor! I will see her until the day I die, and I will reccomend her to everyone I know, and do! My 3 girls will see her if she is still practicing in Houston when they get older. What a wonderful God send doctor!

Surgical Menopause:27yrs. Current age:49 Premarin(1.25):13yrs Firpo Patient:8yrs Cenestin:8yrs Went from Premarin to Cenestin. Complaint: She yo-yoed me on the dosage every yr. Also prescribed anti-depressant, which was a nightmare (felt like 24/7/365 morning sickness & 30 lbs+ weight gain). Annual Check-ups: Repeat above complaint (did she ever look over my chart?) Current Meds: Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Complaints: Why did I stay with her so long? Why did it take me so long to find out about Bio-Identical Hormones? After HRT change (& absolutely no other changes, ie. diet/exercise) why did I drop 60 lbs?

I LOVE Dr. Firpo. She helped my husband and I get pregnant without having to move on to a reproductive endocrinologist, which would have cost us some big bucks! Now I can't wait for her to deliver our baby!
