Patient Testimonial
Dr. Healy is amazing! She was there to help us through every step of our fertility journey. She checked in frequently and was always able to answer any questions we had. Her calm and supportive demeanor brought a sense of peace to my husband and I during these anxious times.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Shah and his team at Shady Grove Fertility in Spring. If you’re wanting to try IVF but you’re nervous, give SGF a shot because the process was much more manageable than I thought it would be, due to the experience and kindness of this team.

Choosing Dr. Shah and his team at SGF for our IVF journey is one of the best decisions my partner and I made. Dr. Shah possesses exceptional medical expertise, but also a remarkable level of empathy, which is such a rare combination to experience as a patient. 

Dr. Morris was thoughtful and caring! She checked in throughout the entire egg retrieval process and responded to all questions. As a person of color, I deliberately sought her to be the lead of this very delicate and important step in my life. She was an outstanding provider!

We could not be more thankful to have had Dr. Katler’s support during our IVF journey. He was extremely thoughtful and attentive to our medical and emotional needs. We are eternally grateful to have found such a great doctor. Highly recommend!

Dr. Quaas is the kindest, most caring doctor. The team is truly the best and they really care about the patients. It’s a new practice, but I truly believe Dr. Quaas and the team understand the research and have great success rates. My husband and I are so grateful!

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.
