Dr. Sharon S. Mccloskey, MD 929 Gessner Road, Houston, TX 77024

"I just had my first visit with Dr Mccloskey and I am so happy . For the past 5 years I have had OBGyns telling me I was be being paranoid and that severe pain was normal and being on 1200mg- 1500mg of pain meds was ok . Dr McCloskey didn’t ridicule me but actually took her time to get to know me and my issues before creating a plan to tackle them . She answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me a sense of satisfaction that I had been missing . I work in healthcare so I am quite knowledgeable- this sometimes tends to annoy physicians but Dr McCloskey was absolutely fabulous and actually appreciated the fact I was asking her a trillion questions moreover was happy to answer them . I highly recommend her but be prepared to wait for an appointment . I waited about 6 months but it was soooooooooooo worth it !!!"

"Dr McCloskey is wonderful! Great bedside manner, warm and friendly personality - doesn’t rush through your appointments. She’s very knowledgeable and I enjoy seeing her! :) I would highly recommend her!"

"Dr. McCloskey is truly one of the best doctors. My first appointment with her was supposed to be my first appointment for a new pregnancy, but unfortunately we just lost the baby a few days before. Doctor McCloskey was so kind and relational considering what just occurred. Fast forward a little bit, and we were pregnant again. I unexpectedly had to be admitted into the hospital, and Dr. McCloskey visited every day to check on me. I felt so cared for but also trusted her decisions and guidance during the process. She consistently references what literature says to do in various situations, but also trusts her gut/intuition. She is so personable, but someone who took charge in the delivery room which I needed for assurance and peace of mind. I have recommended Doctor McCloskey to everyone I know in need of an OBGYN."

"Dr. McCloskey is just one of those once-in-a-lifetime doctors. She's ALWAYS working with a packed schedule, but it was worth it to wait for her. She is such an approachable, genuine person and a fantastic doctor. She has been with me through 6 pregnancies and 3 deliveries and even when we moved an hour from her practice, we still delivered our last baby with her. I think you may not realize how important it is to have someone like her until the unexpected happens (or the unthinkable). Her quick thinking saved my life in a hemorrhaging situation and her warmth and guidance carried us through hard times. She has been such a bright light for our family."

"It's been a long time since I saw Dr. McClosky, but I'll never forget her. In 2009 I moved from Pennsylvania to Texas going into my seventh month of pregnancy with my daughter. I was 41 at the time and obese, but the pregnancy was going great. My OB in Pennsylvania was awesome. I'd already done most every test needed by that point to determine risk to me and the baby. All good. I had researched Dr. McCloskey when I had gotten pregnant in 2004. I thought she was a high risk pregnancy doctor. Anyway, she is a nice woman. Unfortunately she wasn't my doctor for long. Immediately things were rough. Even after getting all my medical files from PA, they were convinced I had diabetes, high blood pressure and more. So I was made to do a barrage of tests. All of which I passed with flying colors. And paid for out of pocket. But there was a catch. Since the baby was due after the first of the year, they required I pay $1500.00 upfront; half of my insurance deductible. I wanted to pay it, but was unable to. Moving state to state is hugely expensive. As it was we were playing catch up to the point I had to borrow money from my mom just to pay rent. But we were on a good path to make decent money in the new year. Hence the move in the first place. I told them my circumstances, and Dr. McClosky seemed grudgingly ok with it. But then, only a month after becoming her patient, and after going through a bunch of unnecessary tests, I went in for a routine appointment. When I was called back, it was not the Dr. who greeted me, but an older woman who I believe was her accountant. She immediately tore into me about how they were a for profit business and I was a lazy mooch trying to get something for nothing. I'm standing there flummoxed, with my two year old son standing with me. This woman was yelling at me. Calling me names. In front of my son. We were just inside that first door from the waiting room. Everyone could hear her. She ended her tirade with, "Good luck finding ANY doctor to take you! Perhaps you should try a clinic for the poor!" I thought she was going to spit at my feet at that point. Instead I was ushered brusquely out the exit. I was stunned and confused. I was into my eighth month of pregnancy and had no doctor. Terror set in right after. I started to get symptoms of postpartum depression. I dreamed of cutting my own baby out of my belly. After a month of standing in lines for 6 to 8 hours to fill out paperwork and see doctors at other places, a doctor did finally agree to see me. I told him my story and he seemed sympathetic. But then he got a letter from Dr. McClosky's office saying they had to terminate me as a patient because of my super high risk pregnancy. So he dropped me, too. But at least he referred me to someone else. That someone else being the medical teaching college next door. So my daughter was born under the not so steady hands of students. And I am eternally grateful!"
