For expert obstetrics and gynecologic care in the Dallas and Irving areas of Texas, trust board-certified OB/GYN Dr. Jose F. De Leon, aka “Dr. D.” He offers a variety of services for women from puberty to menopause, including annual Pap smears, infertility support, STD testing, and management of endometriosis.
Dr. D is a graduate of Texas A&M University, where he majored in biology and went on to earn a degree from UT Southwestern Medical School at Dallas. He completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Paul Medical Center in Dallas.
Dr. D has been in private practice for 16 years and enjoys privileges at Pine Creek Medical Center, Dallas Medical Center, Methodist Hospital Dallas, and Medical City at Dallas. He also serves as the Chairman of Women Services at Dallas Medical Center.
In addition to offering general obstetrics services and gynecology support for women from puberty through the postmenopausal years, Dr. D provides several in-office procedures, including EssureⓇ and endometrial ablation.
“I saw Dr. Tako, he actually listened to me and showed true concern. This was the 5th doctor I had went for my issue and I was just happy he didn't just brush me away. The staff was amazing and helpful as well. They were really concerned. ”
Dr. Odette Limosnero believes that integrative medicine is the best path to true health. While most physicians treat only symptoms and disease, she strives to truly understand why the symptoms are occurring in the first place. She aims to treat her patients in the most natural, least harmful way possible, and only if needed resorts to prescription medications and surgery.
Dr. Limosnero struggled personally with skin and digestive issues, weight loss, and infertility. A regular yoga practice is what opened up her eyes to a new way of looking at health and how our physical bodies are connected to our mind and soul. Food was no longer just calories but a source of nourishment and vital energy. This approach to her own health was what helped her the most, and she now lives a healthier lifestyle and has two beautiful, healthy children.
In July 2015, she opened Roots Integrative Gynecology in Carrolton TX, 75010, to help other women benefit from a more holistic approach to women’s wellness and health care—the same type of holistic care that she found so helpful in her own life. She takes the time necessary to uncover and treat the underlying causes of women’s symptoms using methods learned in her fellowship in Integrative Medicine as well as the foundation of traditional medicine.
Dr. Limosnero grew up in San Francisco Bay Area. She went on to obtain her undergraduate and medical degrees at the University of California at Davis. In 2000 she moved to Texas for residency training at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. Then in 2013 completed her fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine where she was trained under the guidance of Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Tieraona Low Dog. She found that several of the modalities were also helping in her own struggle with infertility. She went on to pursue further training in acupuncture and Chinese Traditional Medicine, attended ayurvedic medicine workshops, and completed a yoga teacher training program under Sloane Park. After almost 11 years in general obstetrics and gynecology practice, she decided to follow her calling and passion and Roots Integrative Gynecology came to fruition. Most recently, Dr. Limosnero has been Board Certified in Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Integrative Medicine. She enjoys spending time with her husband Robert, her two amazing sons Noah and Xander, cooking, practicing yoga, walking, spending time in nature, and practicing mindfulness.
