Dr. Frederick Pierce Cummings

Dr. Cummings became my doctor for my 4th & 5th pregnancy (October 2009 & February 2012), my FIRST & SECOND successful vbac. My first 3 babies were born via c-section. He gave me hope after my very first visit with him. (I found him via ICAN while 30 weeks pregnant with baby #4). He no longer does vbacs from what I was told when I called his office in 2019. I went on to have 2 more successful vbacs with the help of Dr. Charles Downey at Methodist Richardson Medical Center (January 2020 & December 2021). I am forever grateful to Dr. Cummings for allowing me to even attempt a vbac as previous doctor's dropped me as a patient for even discussing the possibility of trying. To anyone feeling defeated and unheard regarding vbacs, I hope you find a doctor who is as supportive to you as Dr. Cummings and Dr. Downey were to me.

This man is AMAZING! He delivered just about all of my cousins and 3 of my 4 kiddos! He’s honest and upfront at all times with his patients. I can honestly say that my miscarriages were when I didn’t use him. I love me some him! I would have given more stars ?? but they stop at 5!!!!

I get emotional when it come to Dr. Cummings because he is the most attentive, informative, trustworthy and compassionate individual I have ever meet. He delivered my last two children VBAC after I was told by several surgeons they could or would not perform the procedure. My doula recommended Dr. Cummings and it changed my life. Shame on anyone that would give this gifted professional a less than 5 star rating or poor review.

I have been going to Dr. Cummings for over 20 years. I have always received the best of care, received quality time and my questions answered. I would recommend Dr. Cummings and his professional care to anyone!

I am a patient on Dr. Cummings in the Denton office. I called his office on Tuesday explaining that I am in a lot of pain and need to see him for pain mgt. The first nurse Karen was really pleasant and appt me for Wed. morning however, I am a Program Director and forgot that my instructor wasn't coming work that morning and I had to cover for her. I called back the same day Tuesday around 4:45pm and explain the situation and begged to take the last appt for the day and a different nurse. Judy or Jody answer and was extremely RUDE to me on the phone. She basically yelled at me and told me that she couldn't do anything for me and I will have to see the nurse practitioner on Friday at 3:30. Well that nurse called on yesterday and told me that they couldn't see me because her doctor doesn't schudule surgeries. I explain to her that my appt is for pain mgt and I was aware. The nurse explain that she didn't see any notes about my asking to no BEGGING to be the last patient for the day on… Wednesday. So, the nurse called me back on this morning and explained how Dr. Cummings was surprised that I didn't make the appt on Wed. and he couldn't see me today because I can't get off work until 1 today. So, the suggestion was to go to the hospital and let them see me. This is ridiculous that I am being punished for having to work and earn a living and now I have to go a make a BIGGER bill to be taken care of. THIS OFFICE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS!!!!! THEY NEED TO HIRE PPL THAT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE PATIENTS AND WANT TO HELP THEM NOT TURN THEM DOWN. I WILL BE ACTIVELY SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER OFFICE THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF MY NEEDS.

Love this man. Gave me the opportunity to give birth the way my body was meant to. Amazing experience bringing my babies earthside

Two of my five babies have been delivered by Dr. Cummings. He is an amazing, patient and kind Doctor. I can't recommend him enough. I trust him completely and know that he always has my safety and the safety of the baby in mind.

Dr. Cummings did an exam on one morning and suggested I have a sonogram, and speak with me after about the results. After I had the sonogram, he didn't have time to see me and his staff asked me to come back the next day for the results. I went back the very next day. Dr. Cummings thanked me for coming all the way back to the office since he was unable to go over the results with me the prior day. The most disappointing thing was that all he wanted to discuss is hysterectomy. I asked him if there were any other options, and even though I found later that taking hormone therapy is an option, he told me that surgery was the only option. To be clear, there is no cancer, just irregular bleeding. I felt he was too anxious to do surgery and that was all he wanted to talk about. The conversation only lasted less than 5 minutes and when I left, I was charged a whole new exam fee. The same price as I had already paid the day prior. I paid and after called their billing department to try and… work it out, but they said that even though it wasn't my fault I had to come back the next day, they charged me a whole new exam fee for his time. In my opinion, his time was useless anyway, as all he wants to do is surgery. Very disappointed in this doctor. I think he may be nearing retirement and is just burned out.

I have no words to describe how amazing Dr Cummings is. This was my first pregnancy and it ended in a c-section that was an overall an amazing experience. Such an amazing Dr, such an amazing person.

Dr. Cummings saw me under emergency conditions. He was super even though I was in pain. Then set up surgery the next day. He came to check on me 2 times a day. Always wanting to know what is going on and how I'm doing. Love how when he comes in the first thing is he smiles and then shakes my hand and then sits down and ask how I'm doing. Then why did I come in for the visit then talks to you about what he thinks I should do. Very super caring Dr. Love Love Love I'm sticking with him.
