Steven Gregory Pilkington, MD

Dr. Steven Pilkington is a board certified Obstetrician Gynecologist and is a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, an active member of the American Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons, Texas Medical Association, and the Catholic Medical Association. Dr. Pilkington is a graduate of Texas A&M University, where he earned his degree in Biomedical Sciences. He studied within the University Honors Program and graduated Magna Cum Laude. He earned his Doctorate degree from the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, and completed his internship and residency at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Weill Cornell-Methodist Houston, and MD Anderson Cancer Center.

He went to the Pope Paul VI Institute for Human Reproduction in Omaha, Nebraska to learn NaProTECHNOLOGY and become a Medical Consultant for couples using Natural Family Planning (NFP) methods either to postpone or to achieve the conception of a child.

Practicing medicine for over 20 years now, Dr. Pilkington founded Dignity Women’s Center in San Antonio and provides women’s healthcare as a Natural Family Planning obstetrician gynecologist. His passions include helping couples achieve pregnancy without using artificial reproductive technology, helping women with hormonal and cycle problems without using the birth control pill, and helping women in need of surgery in a minimally invasive way. He uses natural hormones to correct the deficiencies a particular woman may have and he is a gynecologic surgeon who incorporates the newest technology to provide minimally invasive surgery. Almost all gynecologic surgeries can now be done without requiring an overnight hospitalization. Dr. Pilkington has been performing robotic surgeries since the technology arrived in San Antonio and is among the top tier of physicians regarding the number of cases done. He is one of very few surgeons in the country who performs the delicate microsurgical tubal ligation reversal procedures for couples struggling with this infertility.

Natural family planning should be covered pre-deductible and without co-pay in accordance with the Affordable Care Act, equal to birth control coverage, as long as you see a MyCatholicDoctor medical provider that is in network with your insurance and get a referral to a MyCatholicDoctor NFP instructor. Your insurance plan may also require you to obtain a PCP referral. Unfortunately, many insurance carriers inappropriately apply co-pay and deductible for NFP, and inappropriately deny claims. MyCatholicDoctor is fighting this at many levels. If you are billed a co-pay or deductible, or your claim is denied, please contact your insurance company.
