Patient Testimonial
A huge thank you to Leslie and Dr. Kim and the amazing clinical coordinator Dori who have been fantastic the whole way. The kindness and compassion fills the room and the organization and professionalism creates an environment of peace, trust and comfort.

Dr. Robinson was great to work with, he took what could have been an incredibly scary surgery and made it approachable and eased all of my fears. He has a wonderful bedside manner, and I am so grateful that he was available to perform my procedure.

After our first appointment with Dr. Kallen we knew that he would be the right doctor for us based off of the knowledge, honesty and compassion he showed. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Kallen and his team!

I have been to 5 fertility clinics and seen 6 fertility doctors. Dr. Bressler and Shady Grove was hands down my best experience…by a landslide. Dr. B made me feel like an important individual. I can’t say enough good things about this practice and about Dr B.

At no point in time did I feel hopeless and was always comforted by next steps and kind words. But Dr. Mitchell truly is extra. I felt like her only patient. I can’t speak enough to her kindness. It is my firm belief that she 100000X capable of leading someone to pregnancy success.

I had a wonderful experience with IVF at Shady Grove. The staff were incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the entire process. I am especially grateful for Dr. Sally Vitez, whose positivity and expertise made a significant difference. I couldn’t be more thankful for her and the entire team!

Q&A

I’ve always had a passion for women’s health. I love reproductive medicine because it is a constantly evolving field. I love having the ability to make a direct impact on my patients’ lives as they achieve their dreams of building their family. 

In my spare time I love spending time with my family, going tubing with friends, and watching sports (Go Caps!!). I also really enjoy live music (especially country!) — whether it’s going to a concert, enjoying music at a winery, or in Nashville — I love it all!

I’m super competitive! I love game nights with friends and family, and I’m a game show junkie. Family Feud and The Price is Right are my favorites.
