Get to know Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist Dr. Dale R. Yingling, who serves patients in Houston, Texas.

A trusted maternal-fetal medicine specialist, Dr. Yingling was an Assistant Professor at the Baylor College of Medicine for 4 years in Houston, Texas.

Throughout his academic career, he received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in 1997, and completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Ascension St John Hospital in 2003, earning the title of Chief Resident. Finally, he completed his fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University in 2006.

Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), the doctor is board-certified in maternal-fetal medicine & obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

On a professional level, Dr. Yingling is an active member of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology,  as well as the American Medical Association.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that focuses on managing health concerns of the mother and fetus prior to, during, and shortly after pregnancy. Maternal-fetal medicine specialists are physicians who subspecialize within the field of obstetrics. For pregnant women with chronic health problems or other complications during their pregnancy, MFM specialists work to keep them as healthy as possible while their bodies carry a pregnancy. They also care for women who face unexpected problems that develop during pregnancy such as early labor, bleeding or high blood pressure. 

An authority in his field, Dr. Yingling has been the recipient of the America’s Top OB/GYN Award by Consumer Research Council (2010, 2015, 2016), and the Top Obstetrician/Gynecologist Award by the International Association of Obstetrician & Gynecologists (2017) to just mention a few.

On a more personal note, he enjoys spending his free time as a pilot, certified flight instructor, and a jet captain.https://pressrelease.healthcare/dale-r-yingling-do-facog-a-maternal-fetal-medicine-specialist-in-private-practice-serving-women-of-northwest-houston-texas.html
