Patient Testimonial
I adore Dr. Tidey. I have seen many RE’s and he is by far the most gentle, precise and will do all he can to help you succeed.

Dr. Tidey is a compassionate, highly intelligent, highly skilled physician and I would recommend him to anyone having fertility issues.

We were trying for over 5 years to get pregnant, with Dr Tidey’s help we now have a 2 year old.

Q&A

Eli Adashi–he was the Reproductive Endocrinologist during my residency training who opened my eyes to the emotional, intellectual, and technical complexities of helping women conceive. Dr. Adashi was the smartest person I had ever met. During that time, in vitro fertilization was a brand new tool that gave hope to thousands of women whose only option had been adoption. I have been fortunate to witness more successes than I ever dreamed possible.

My mother. Grace, patience, encouragement, and empathy were traits my mother displayed on a daily basis as a high school guidance counselor working with 500 students and their parents. She supported their dreams and was there for all the successes and failures, both big and small. My mother was calm, positive, and constantly reassuring in a manner that resonates deeply with me. I try to emulate her every day.

I love to cook, play golf, read, and solve crossword puzzles. I like anything challenging enough to require complete focus or an escape into the process. It may lead to the exhilaration of accomplishment or the motivation to do it better the next time. This is why I enjoy practicing medicine and performing surgery for these same reasons.

 I like that working on the SGF team feels like we are working toward a mission, not just for a business.

I would like to work in a professional kitchen for a week.

I listen. I analyze. I try to imagine how I would help a friend or a relative in the same situation. I make sure to involve our tremendous team at SGF.

Calm, patient, determined.
