Patient Testimonial
I’ve worked in medicine for over 12 years and didn’t think I needed an office that cares about your mental health. I didn’t realize what I was missing until I came here. We’re just starting our journey with Dr. Davis and SGF, but every step has been positive and refreshing.

Dr. Davis sat with us and answered my many questions. I felt heard and he was also very kind. Very excited to start our journey here.

Dr. Hutchinson is amazing! Her knowledge, compassion, and positivity helped make a difficult process less stressful. She takes the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer questions, as well address any concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Hutchinson and her team.

Great experience! Dr. Marchetto felt like family in this process. The care and attention the entire staff gave was amazing.

Shady Grove Fertility as a whole is wonderful to work with! I worked directly with the Newark office, the staff is friendly, caring and extremely helpful through a difficult process. I highly recommend Shady Grove Fertility.

Our initial consult with Dr. Davis was almost 2 hours long. We asked him hard questions and after talking about our struggles, he was confident to try less invasive and costly routes while managing underlying medical issues. We immediately felt loved and cared for here.

Q&A

After my son was born, yoga was one of the first exercises I got back into. It’s a great way for me to de-stress and have some “me” time. I love that there are so many different types of practices so it never gets boring. Plus it is so convenient! I can do yoga on my own, watch a video or take a class.

Although I am a fairly new provider to SGF, I have had many interactions with the staff over the years and I am so impressed by the team’s knowledge and dedication. The staff really makes every effort to provide state-of-the-art care and accommodate patients’ needs. I have found that all of the staff truly wants to help make the fertility journey go as smooth as possible.

I think the first step is to hear the patient out. Especially when dealing with fertility concerns there are so many complex emotions that can occur. Listening and validating the patient’s feelings is so important.

For six years my husband and I coordinated and coached a winter basketball program for children in grades 1-6.

I would say that I am calm and patient. I try to be a good listener and open-minded.

I enjoy spending time with my family. Especially when we can be outdoors! We like to swim, hike, run, and play sports.
