John A. Whitfield, MD, brings more than three decades of exceptional gynecological healthcare training and experience to women in the Fort Worth, Texas area.
After graduating from the University of Missouri-Kansas City I relocated to Dallas for a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Parkland Memorial Hospital. I loved this area, so decided to start my practice in Fort Worth. What I found were a wonderful a medical community, patients, and colleagues which helped build a thriving practice. Over the years, I have strived to provide compassionate and expert care in a professional and friendly environment. Practicing obstetrics has been a wonderful opportunity to participate in building families that make up our community. And gynecology has allowed me to provide care to thousands of DFW women from the teens, through the reproductive years and into menopause.
Modern women’s healthcare means options and choices. And as medical science develops, so do treatment options. I have strived to stay abreast of the latest developments and have continued to position myself as one who can offer contemporary treatments to my patients. Obstetrics and Gynecology is a very diverse specialty and staying current with developments in essentially two specialties has become a challenge within my specialty. So, after delivering over 2000 babies to area families, I decided to pursue an ongoing passion and focus my practice exclusively on gynecology and gynecologic surgery.
What I have found is that more and more women are, in fact, choosing to see someone who specializes exclusively in gynecology and the reasons are many. Your time is important, you are looking for someone who specializes in the problems that pertain to you, and you are looking for a higher level of service and care. My staff has been carefully chosen as professional, friendly and helpful individuals who have been thoroughly trained in gynecology to provide expert care in a warm and compassionate setting. We are not just interested in outcomes, but also in you as a person and your story. Furthermore, providing a high level of service exceeding your expectations is our goal.
My team and I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your needs. We are excited about the possibility of creating a trusting and caring healthcare partnership with you.

Cooper Trost, MD, is a compassionate, board-trained OB-GYN at Holy Cross OBGYN in Mesquite, Texas. His path to obstetrics began when he became a father—an experience he considers both his greatest accomplishment and most challenging role.

Raised just outside Portland, Oregon, Dr. Trost earned his bachelor’s degree in human biology from BYU–Idaho and completed his medical degree at Kansas City University in Kansas City, Missouri. He went on to complete his OB-GYN residency at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, where he served as Chief Resident at the Five Rivers Center for Women’s Health. During training, he received the prestigious AAGL Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery Award, recognizing his skill in advanced, patient-centered surgical care.
Dr. Trost’s clinical interests include preconception counseling, contraception, high-risk pregnancy management, patient-centered labor and delivery, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, including Da Vinci robotic-assisted procedures. He is committed to helping women make informed decisions and supporting them with empathetic, evidence-based care.
Now settled in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with his wife and two young sons, Dr. Trost is thrilled to join Holy Cross OB-GYN. He looks forward to serving patients in Mesquite, Terrell, and Rowlett and building long-term partnerships that empower women to live healthy, confident lives.
