Since I was a kid I’ve had a love for medicine and for babies. I also believe that family is what is most important in life. So the specialty of infertility was an obvious choice. Getting birth announcements from my patients puts a smile on my face and makes it all worth it.
Although my initial inspiration came from other doctors in the family, I have found that my strongest inspiration comes from my patients, from their fertility journeys and from their hope
That it allows me to spend my professional life surrounded by the most skilled, the most caring, and the most committed people when it comes to helping patients to build a family
I believe in the importance of tailoring medical and emotional treatment to each patient’s needs, respecting their desires and expectations. A nice relaxed attitude is also always helpful.
I would like to sail around the world with my most trusted skipper and companion, my wife.
As a teenager, I played guitar in a rock band, sported an Afro hairstyle, and wore shiny polyester bell-bottoms.
Do the right thing.
Boating, sailing, skiing, and playing the electric guitar.

"Dr. Yazigi was very understanding and welcoming since my husband and I were new to Shady Grove Fertility and the entire IVF process. In fact all of the staff at SGF were so friendly, so much so that I wish I could have stayed with them throughout my pregnancy and did not have to leave them at 10 weeks!"
"I cannot say enough about Dr. Yazigi! He has been so wonderful from the very start of our journey which began a few of years ago. Tragically, we lost our precious baby girl (our IVF miracle) at 9 weeks old due to an unknown genetic condition. Dr. Yazigi has been extremely empathetic and supportive through this horrific tragedy. He has spent countless hours of his own time researching and trying to find answers for us when Hopkins couldn't find the answers. He has been holding my hand and helping me to move forward. I wish there were more doctors like Dr. Yazigi in this world. He is a wonderful doctor, man, and has truly become like family to me."
"We came to Dr. Yazigi for a second opinion in our fertility journey and he was far more informative and helpful then our previous doctor. He explained the process in greater detail and told us why we needed to go this direction. We are very happy with Dr. Yazigi and are so glad we decided to get a second opinion."
"Dr. Yazigi made me feel so comfortable when I was a nervous wreck about getting my HSG after all of the horror stories I read online. He was wonderful."
"We were so thrilled with the excellent communication that Dr. Yazigi provided. It was a very comfortable environment. He was so open to any questions we had and was very thorough. We found this experience to be drastically better than the previous fertility clinic we attended."
"Dr Yazigi is a wonderful, and kind physician. He has excellent manners. It has been an honor and a privilege to have him as our fertility physician. Thanks to him I have two beautiful girls. It has been a pleasure to know and work with him. There are no words to thank him."
"I cannot thank Dr. Yazigi enough for his kind and compassionate care. With him 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 Fertility's in one of life's most stressful circumstances. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Dr. Yazigi has helped my husband and I achieve pregnancy twice. We are blessed with a 3.5 year old daughter and 7 week old son. My experience with Shady Grove Fertility has been absolutely wonderful. From the moment I called to make my first appointment in 2012, I was in great hands and always had a plan. That was the best thing about Dr. Yazigi - he made sure our plan of action was the best way to achieve pregnancy. He made me feel very important like I was his only patient. Returning in 2015 as a hopeful second time mom, he knew exactly where to begin treatment and I got pregnant within the first month of returning to Shady Grove Fertility. He is wonderful Doctor who I would highly recommend to anyone struggling to achieve their dreams of becoming pregnant."
