About Female Health Associates of North Texas

Dr. Jeffrey Hantes takes pride in his years of medical experience and comforting  bedside manner. He is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and  understands that his work as a doctor includes more than just diagnosing medical  problems. Dr. Hantes believes compassionate care and patient education are two  of the most important aspects of a treatment plan. 

Dr. Hantes has years of experience working in the fields of gynecology and  urogynecology. He attended medical school and completed his residency at  the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, where he also  served as a professor for five years. Residents were able to work with underprivileged and high-risk patients, treating difficult and complex cases.  Following his residency, Dr. Hantes completed a fellowship in Advanced  Endoscopic and Pelvic Surgery at the Woman’s Hospital of Texas in Houston. He  has always had a special interest in minimally invasive surgery and female  incontinence/prolapse and is one of the most highly trained and skilled  physicians in North Texas for treatment of these conditions. He has published  several articles in this area and continually attends training for the most  advanced treatments of these conditions. 

Throughout his career, Dr. Hantes has been active in numerous medical societies  and served on hospital committees. 

“I have always felt that being a physician was not a right but a privilege I have  been given. To whom much is given, much is expected. I believe there are two  things that make a quality physician: expertise and compassion. Getting the  cutting-edge training has been a very time consuming process but extremely  rewarding when I see how it benefits my patients. It will always be an ongoing  process that I am committed to for my patients. The compassion side is very  natural and easy. I was fortunate to have such a strong family background  growing up in Texas. As a physician, I always felt that if I treated my patients with  respect and how I would want my daughter, sister, or mother treated, then I would  be providing the quality-of-care women in the metroplex deserve. I enjoy going to  work every day and often remind myself and my staff of these principles I believe  in”. 

While Dr. Hantes’ practice is time consuming and a priority, he is also passionate  about his life outside of medicine. He states that his daughter, Kate, is the best  thing that he has ever experienced in life. They enjoy boating on the lake and  being “Dallas Cowboys” fans. He also enjoys golf and pretty much anything that  affords him the opportunity to spend time with his family and close friends. Dr. Hantes provides patients with diagnosis and treatment for the following  conditions: Routine Well-Woman Exams, Abnormal Uterine Bleeding, Urinary Incontinence (loss of urine), Overactive Bladder, Vaginal Prolapse (dropped bladder/vagina), Pelvic Pain, Permanent In-Office Birth Control/Essure and Uterine Ablation. With his minimally invasive surgical background, the vast 

majority of hysterectomies, etc. can be done with the advancements in  the DaVinci robotic surgery.
