Dr. Mark J. Godat is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology. He has been in private practice since 1987 and provides comprehensive women’s healthcare services in Dallas.

This is a trait and a passion that he shared with his father, Dr. Joseph Godat, who was a beloved OB/GYN in the Dallas area for over 40 years. A favorite part of his job is establishing a patient relationship before motherhood, delivering her babies, and caring for them through the phases of the woman’s life.

His staff offers over 70 years of combined experience to provide patients with the most current information and innovations in women’s health, high-risk pregnancy care, and routine gynecological services.
Graduating with a doctorate in medicine from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, Dr. Godat completed his OB/GYN residency at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.
