William Richard Salter, M.D., FACOG

Dr. Richard Salter

Dr. William Richard Salter was born and raised in Memphis, TN. After graduating from high school, he attended Abilene Christian University and graduated cum laude in 1983. Following graduation, he did a year of research at Texas Tech Medical School, and then began medical school there in 1984. His first two years of medical school at Texas Tech were in Lubbock, and the last two years were in El Paso.

After graduating from medical school in 1988, he moved to Lexington, KY for an internship and residency at the University of Kentucky in Obstetrics & Gynecology. Completing his training in 1992, Dr. Salter moved to Texarkana, TX and began his Ob-Gyn practice with a multi-specialty clinic there. After two years in Texarkana, he and his wife decided to move to Dallas.

He joined a large single-specialty Ob-Gyn group, and established an office in Garland, Texas in 1995. Last year, with two of his partners, Dr. Salter decided to leave the large group and start his own group, Advanced Ob-Gyn Associates, opening the new practice on 4/1/08.

Women's Healthcare Expertise

Dr. Salter's practice involves routine and high risk obstetrics, routine office gynecology, minimally invasive in-office gynecologic procedures, minimally invasive major and minor gynecologic surgeries, initial infertility evaluation and treatment, early stage gynecologic cancer surgery and the new da Vinci Surgical Robotic Procedure.

Dallas Area Hospital Affiliations

Dr. Salter has hospital privileges at Forest Park Medical Center, Baylor Plano Medical Center, Baylor Garland Medical Center, North Garland Surgery Center, Medical City in Dallas and Methodist Richardson Medical Center in Richardson, TX.

Dr. Salter is also a clinical faculty member of the Baylor Garland Family Practice Residency program, and helps in the training and education of the Family Practice residents in obstetrics and gynecology. In addition, he is a frequent speaker at national medical meetings on minimally invasive office procedures, including Essure and Her Option, and assists in training physicians in these and other surgical procedures. He is also one of the few Gynecologists in Dallas to use the da Vinci robotic surgical system on all of his major gynecologic surgeries (such as hysterectomy), giving his patients the opportunity to have a quicker recovery and return to normal activities. He also acts as a proctor in training physicians in this new robotic surgical technology.

He has been active in coaching his children’s basketball teams for several years.
