David W.I. Fong, MD, FACOG — An Honest Editorial Review

Among fertility clinics in Texas, many patients actually begin their journey not at a reproductive endocrinology (REI) practice but at their general OB/GYN — the physician who runs their annual exam, manages their cycles, and orders the first round of bloodwork. Dr. David W.I. Fong is a long-established board-certified OB/GYN practicing solo at 2840 Legacy Drive in Frisco, affiliated with UWH of Texas (Unified Women's Healthcare). His practice sits in the Legacy corridor that straddles the Frisco–Plano border, a few minutes from Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Frisco and Medical City Plano.

Dr. Fong is a comprehensive OB/GYN — not a reproductive endocrinologist — and his 4.8-star, 177-review profile in the Fertlo directory reflects more than two decades of women's-health practice in North Dallas rather than a high-volume IVF program. That distinction matters for how patients should think about scope.

Training and Credentials

Dr. Fong earned his MD at the University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine (1991–1995), and completed his OB/GYN residency at Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas (1996–1999) — one of the highest-volume obstetric training programs in the country and a common Texas feeder into private OB/GYN practice. He holds the FACOG designation with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and is board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (license TX K0296; NPI 1205906815). He is not fellowship-trained in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Hospital privileges include Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Frisco and Texas Health Plano.

Scope of Care — What This Practice Offers

Dr. Fong's practice is a comprehensive women's-health office covering adolescence through menopause. Relevant to fertility patients, his in-office services include:

• Well-woman exams, contraception counseling, and preconception workup
• Diagnostic infertility evaluation (cycle history, hormonal bloodwork, pelvic ultrasound)
• Ovulation induction using oral agents (clomiphene, letrozole) and injectable gonadotropins with monitoring
• Intrauterine insemination (IUI) in-office, often paired with ovulation induction
• Minimally invasive laparoscopy, laser surgery, and hysteroscopy for endometriosis, fibroids, and tubal evaluation
• Management of PCOS, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis, and pelvic pain

What the practice does not offer on-site: IVF, egg freezing, donor egg cycles, preimplantation genetic testing, or gestational carrier protocols. These require a reproductive endocrinologist.

When a DFW REI Referral Makes Sense

General OB/GYN fertility care is a reasonable starting point for patients with regular cycles, a normal semen analysis, and under 12 months of trying (six months if over 35). For many Frisco patients, an ovulation-induction + IUI cycle under an OB/GYN is less expensive, more convenient, and appropriate as a first step. It is not the right fit when any of the following are true:

• You have tried three or more IUI cycles without pregnancy
• You are 38 or older with diminished ovarian reserve on AMH/AFC testing
• You have a known tubal factor, severe endometriosis, or significant male-factor infertility
• Genetic screening, PGT, donor gametes, or gestational surrogacy is part of your plan

The Frisco/Plano/Legacy corridor has an unusually deep bench of REI options for referrals. Commonly used DFW-area reproductive endocrinology groups include Fertility Specialists of Texas, Dallas IVF, Aspire Fertility, and CCRM Dallas — each with multiple locations and SART-reporting IVF labs. Our Texas fertility clinics directory covers the full statewide landscape.

Patient Experience

A 4.8-star rating across 177 reviews is a strong signal for a solo OB/GYN office that has been in continuous practice for more than two decades. Recurring themes in public reviews point to unhurried consultations, clear explanations of workup results, and continuity from well-woman care through pregnancy and gynecologic surgery. The 2840 Legacy Drive address is easily accessible from the Dallas North Tollway and the Sam Rayburn Tollway, with on-site parking.

Considering At-Home Insemination?

Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.

At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot. Our preconception health guide covers the baseline lifestyle, nutrition, and timing work that supports any path to conception.

If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.

Insurance and Cost in Texas

Texas has no state fertility insurance mandate — coverage for IVF, IUI, and diagnostic fertility services is left entirely to individual health plans. Many large employers in the Frisco–Plano–Legacy corridor (financial services, tech, telecom) do include negotiated fertility benefits, so a careful read of your specific plan documents is worth the effort before the first consult. In-office IUI cycles with ovulation induction in the North Dallas area typically run $500–$1,500 per cycle depending on medication protocol; IVF at a DFW REI practice is commonly in the $17,000–$22,000 range per fresh cycle before medications. See our fertility insurance mandates by state guide and IVF cost by state breakdown for current benchmarks.
