North Carolina Testimonials
Shady Grove Fertility is the best in the country and the Carolinas. I was fortunate enough to find my way into SGF after poor care and treatment at another clinic. I needed a place where I felt seen, heard, and cared for. Dr. Mersereau, Wendy, and Ellie are the dream team!

From the first to the last appointment it was always so comforting and reassuring going through infertility with SGF in Cary. We struggled with unexplained infertility and the staff at SGF helped us work through it, laying out all the options, until we finally did IVF and had a successful pregnancy.

Dr. Mersereau was the first person we met with to get help with infertility. She was so calming and confident yet realistic and I always felt heard and understood. The best part is that my husband and I are now pregnant as a result of SGF’s care!

I was so lucky to have Dr. Harris as my doctor and would recommend him to anyone looking for help with pregnancy. He felt like a friend. Always there when you needed him, honest, calm, and encouraging.

We cannot recommend this practice enough! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The nurses were there to answer all of our questions quickly. The doctors took time to listen to our questions and fully explain what we needed to know with compassion and a smile!

Dr. Bressler was so helpful and kind. She even was the physician that completed the IVF implantation resulting in my successful pregnancy!! I adore this practice because of the kind staff like her.

Over my fertility journey, I have worked with three different clinics. Shady Grove Fertility of the Carolinas has been the best experience so far. They have a top-notch team who genuinely cares for you and is excited for your progress.

Dr. Harris is incredible – after 1.5 years of TTC, my husband and I decided to explore fertility treatments. From the moment we met Dr. Harris, we knew we were in good hands. We felt heard, respected, and judgment-free.
