Dr. Holt is one of the worst doctors I have ever seen, she is lazy, lacks through assessment skills, and overall does not care for her patients well being. I was her patient during my first pregnancy, which ended in a healthy baby boy, no thanks to her. She misdiagnosed my preeclampsia and mislabeled me as anxious, I am actually just acutely aware of what can go wrong in pregnancy and asked questions about that stuff. I was induced at 39 weeks when I was already 4cm dilated she decided to start pit and break my water, instead of breaking my water first and seeing how I do. She wanted me to deliver quickly not because I was GBS positive but because she wanted to take her dog for a walk. During the last few weeks of my pregnancy I was extremely swollen and told her about this I also had headaches and protein in my urine all of which scream preeclampsia. My BP never went above 130 in office so she did no further testing, but should have done PIH labs, 24 hour urine, and been more aggressive in my visits especially since I was having symptoms! Upon arriving to L&D my blood pressure was 170, my baseline is 100-110, my BP went as high as 230 during my labor and I was told I was anxious, I was not! And BP would not be that high due to anxiety. Even after my epidural my BP was extremely high, she refused to treat the BP, because my PIH labs were negative BUT I am a unique case, something she does not understand. Thank God I made it through labor without having a stroke or seizures this was no thanks to Holt. My labor was wayyy too fast less than 5 hours and left me feeling scarred. While sewing up my episiotomy she decided to have a conversation about nurse on the unit, so unprofessional! I’m trying to bond with my son and she’s rambling on. She is risky and non-sealant. She then told me post-partum she would only treat my BP if it was above 180! That is NOT okay! She also told me not to call her about ANY bleeding post-partum even if there were golf ball size clots. I also suffered with crushing nerve pain at the end of my pregnancy which she would not address. I got my medical records from her and al her notes said I had no edema, on my last visit she even commented on how swollen I was! She would also state I had no complaints, but I had told her about my severe back pain, headache. Her notes are a complete fabrication and contain false information. I informed her that post-partum I had increased swelling, headache, an high BP, she refused to mag me which is the treatment for this, she states “I don’t mag people a week after baby” That is not evidenced based and she was just being lazy and not treating me properly. I told her about the mag and she began to say “I know you a healthcare professional but,” I stopped her there and said you’re not being aggressive enough and I no longer need your care. I spent that entire night in the ER getting BP medications and got a new OB that was contemplating mag, but decided against it because the ER was able to control my BP and mag can wreak havoc on the body. I’m now on tons of BP meds trying to control this issue that she would have never caught because she doesn’t care enough. I could have died because of her negligence. According to my records I had protein in my urine for 2 months before delivery and that’s when my swelling started too, she never told me about the protein until weeks later when it was 3+, she never did labs in office which is totally unacceptable. She risked both my and my babies lives. She lied in her documentation, take care of yourself and avoid her at all costs.

We moved from Houston to Frisco when I was 23 weeks pregnant. My OB in Houston recommended Dr. Holt, as they had gone to school together. Everything from the initial call to transferring records to speaking with the office staff to all of my prenatal visits, all the way through delivery, were nothing but pleasant. Dr. Holt is very thorough and personable. After I delivered my son and she checked on us in the hospital, I had a moment of hormonal breakdown. She sat down with me and shared her "not so glamorous" personal pregnancy and delivery stories so I would feel more normal about my own situation. Shes not only an amazing doctor, shes also a wife and a mother. I was very happy being under the care of Dr. Holt during my pregnancy, as well as now, for my yearly well visits. I would recommend her to anyone!!

While Dr. Holt is a great doctor, my experience at this clinic has not been. As a woman, I know when I am experiencing a common yeast infection and would like to be able to call in and request medication. However, on three separate occasions I was asked to come in to the clinic in order to "make sure" that is indeed what I had. This would cost me not only my time away from work, but my $50 office fee. I have never experienced this before at ANY obgyn office I have ever been to. As far as I am concerned, this was a money making scam and too large of in inconvenience for me to stay. When I informed them of my decision, I was told I would have to pay another $25 to have my records sent to my new doctor. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I first went to Dr Holt September of 2010 after my previous OB changed offices. I was so impressed with the front office! Then she came out personally to get me and we went into her office to talk before going into an exam room. Shortly there after I was pregnant with our third child, I wish I had Dr. Holt for my previous children! She always took time to discuss all my concerns. Even on my third time I was a crazy pregnant women and she never made me feel like I was asking dumb questions or should have known being my third child. The office staff always remembered me every time and it like going to visit friends.

I switched doctors when I was 5 months pregnant. I am so glad I did! Dr. Catherine Holt and her staff are amazing. At my first visit, Dr. Holt spent time getting to know me and listened to all of my questions and concerns. She even discussed questions I had about tests and lab work that came from my previous doctor. She and the entire staff made me feel so comfortable at each visit. I delivered at Baylor Frisco( which I also highly recommend) and had exceptional care; however, under Dr. Holts care, the birth of my son could not have gone smoother. Look no further for an Obgyn!!! She is the best out there:)

I have been seeing Dr. Holt for 6 years. My husband and I loved her from the start and our feelings were solidified when I went into premature labor with my first son. Dr. Holt was attentive and caring from the moment she told me what was happening. What meant so much to my husband, is that he was a part of every conversation. She recognized that even though I was her patient, this was happening to both of us. We are now on our third pregnancy under her care and could not imagine another doctor taking this journey with us. We highly recommend her.
