Dr. Lersten was incredible—always positive, warm, and genuinely supportive. Her kindness and encouragement made a difficult time feel a little easier, and I always felt like I was in good hands. If you’re navigating the challenges of starting a famil, I highly recommend Dr. Lersten.

Dr. Gannon made me feel truly cared for—she was very thorough, kind, and knowledgeable, which really put me at ease. I went in feeling nervous, but left feeling completely comfortable and confident in her care. The entire team, including the staff, made me feel like a priority.

Shady Grove Fertility provides exceptional care and support under the expertise, knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Patounakis. He is incredibly successful at his work as well as thorough, compassionate and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Patounakis and the entire team at Shady Grove Fertility.

Dr. Kim and team are the best of the best. We switched clinics and have had a great experince. He truly listens to your concerns, never does the same thing twice, and is very involved in your journey. I would refer anyone to go to there in a heartbeat!

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.
