Reviews

"I absolutely love and appreciate Dr. McClamrock. With his help and patience my husband and I were able to get pregnant twice, after years of trying."

"We appreciate that Dr. McClamrock spent time with us one on one. Friendly staff, ease and timeliness of appointment."

"Dr McClamrock was very professional and knowledgeable. He took time to look at my history and answered any questions I had."

"Dr McClamrock did a great job of making use feel comfortable and making us feel like we were in control of our treatment and options."

"Drs Yazigi, Katz and McClamrock all particpated in my care and I cannot thank them enough for their kind and compassionate care. With them I felt a sense of hope that I had not previously felt such that no matter what our outcome, I knew we were in the right hands. The nurses, staff, ACS center staff should be commended for the exceptional job they do. I do not have enough words to express my appreciation. I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a patient of Shady Grove's in one of life's most stressful circumstances. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. McClamrock and his staff at Shady Grove Fertility in Harbor East, Maryland. With what was a not so pleasant time to be going through, Dr. McClamrock and his absolutely exceptional staff made my time and experience amazing. From the time I began my journey my questions were always answered even if I was sending emails to my nurses at 6:00am. My husband and I are beyond grateful for the experience at SGF. After 3 IUI cycles, we are currently expecting our first child! My negative experience of trying to get pregnant turned positive with Dr. McClamrock. I walked in every appointment with a smile and was greeted with one back. I would highly recommend this Dr. and his staff for anyone dealing with the pain and struggle of infertility."

"Dr. McClamrock is an outstanding doctor. Very knowledgeable in his profession. Always willing to answer our questions and recommend the best treatment for my fiancé and I. We are now 20 weeks pregnant with out first baby girl!"

"Dr. McClamrock and the rest of the staff at the Baltimore office were able to make our dreams come true and never gave up on us. I will never be able to thank them enough!"
