As Shady Grove Fertility approaches our 20th anniversary, we have been reflecting on our past and what brought us to where we are today. Currently, with 23 physicians and over 300 staffers, we have far exceeded the expectations of our founders, Dr. Michael Levy and Dr. Arthur Sagoskin, but have held strong to the belief that fertility treatment is more than just injections and IVF, it is about treating the patient as a whole person. We have long offered a multitude of services for our patients including support groups, financial programs, events and much more. Whether you are dealing with PCOS, coping with a pregnancy loss, or considering donor egg, there is someone, not so far away, that is going through the same struggle.

In 2008, we launched our updated website, ShadyGroveFertility.com, designed to make your online experience as informative and helpful as possible. Soon after we began to share with you on Twitter and Facebook. Today, our online community, over 6,000 people strong, continues to grow as patients share their journeys and our expert physicians provide you with the answers to all your pressing questions.

The next step in keeping connected with you, is this “Insider’s Guide to Fertility”. Our physicians, staff, and patients will be sharing their experiences with you. Answering your questions outside the walls of a doctor’s office, and explaining what infertility is without a slew of clinical words that require a search on Wikipedia to understand.

So let’s make this official – Welcome to the Insider’s Guide to Fertility! You can read our current posts covering topics such as ‘Fertility & Weight Loss’, ‘Your First Doctor’s Visit’, and ‘Does Everyone Have Infertility?

Thank you for coming and we look forward to sharing more with you. (And share with us, please let us know if you like this site and what is on your mind in the comments section below!)
