Patient Testimonial
From the moment I walked in, I felt nothing but comfort. Whether I start now or later, I’m not trusting anyone else with my fertility health. Love this office!

I cannot recommend Dr. Marchetto enough. She walked a very unique path with us. She held my hand every step and hurdle along the way, through all the tears and celebrations. I am forever thankful for her.

After 4 years of infertility, my husband and I chose to switch practices to Shady Grove Newark and Anne Hutchinson’s care. The difference was night and day. Dr. Hutchinson listens to her patients and makes them feel valued. My only regret is not finding her sooner!!

Amazing care! Dr. Quaas and his team are so proficient, professional, caring and understanding.

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!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!! We love SGF Houston – Beaumont. Dr. Crochet has been nothing but the most wonderful doctor!

Q&A

I’ve been in the women’s health field my entire nursing career, a large part of that spent in labor and delivery at Inova Fairfax Hospital. Being able to help women in their fertility journey as a Nurse Practitioner after years helping women deliver babies is special to me. It’s like I’ve come full circle.

I was born and raised in Boston, MA, so I’m a Boston sports fan by default! However, I’ve been residing in Northern Virginia for 15+ years with my husband and our three young kids. I love to cook, bake, read, craft, and take the kids hiking across all the National Parks.
