Reviews

"After years of trying on our own with no luck and having what's called unexplained 2nd baby infertility, I went to see Dr. Osheroff and nurse Kim Blackwell. From the beginning Dr. Osheroff had high hopes for me, even when I didn't. Dr. Osheroff is very knowledgeable and nurse Kim Blackwell walked me through every step of the process. The office is very busy but I will take busy, as it means they know what they are doing. Be patient, as the infertility is frustrating and emotionally draining and can be financially draining. I am happy to report I am 26 weeks pregnant through IVF after 6 years of trying for my second baby. Thank you Dr. Osheroff and the team at Shady Grove Fertility!"

"Dr. Osheroff and the staff are very compassionate and knowledgeable. He knows his stuff and doesn't try to push you. He is EXTREMELY thorough and in the end saved me from more heartbreak. He answered every question and always gave us all the information we needed; he was honest and I respected that. Dr. Osheroff had a great game plan and it worked! Our son was born on our first IVF cycle-a 5 day fresh transfer. He gives you his all and his staff are great. Nurse Kim Blackwell worked great with him and us. I am forever grateful to them for the best gift ever-my son!!!"

I am overweight and Dr Osheroff helped me set realistic weight loss goals, he is very encouraging and I appreciate his praise."

"Based on our prior experience with another fertility facility, Dr Osheroff and his staff seem to be providing us an excellent service. They are very thorough, very professional and friendly. I can recommend this facility to anyone any time."

"He is very nice and he listens to what you have to say. He answered all of our questions quickly and with confidence. We did not feel rushed."

"Dr. Osheroff is knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. I was really anxious about starting IVF and he took the time to answer all of my questions and reassure me. Under his care, I got pregnant and now have a healthy 3 month old."

"Best doctor and hospital wish I knew before I had baby delivered after 11 yrs of trying."

"We have had the best experience with Dr. Osheroff. He has helped us with both of our babies!!!
