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 have had a long-standing interest in reproductive medicine. In fact, I entered medical school already certain that I wanted to specialize in Obstetrics & Gynecology. What drew me to the field of Obstetrics & Gynecology was the ability to help empower patients and uplift communities through their reproductive health. I was inspired by the close relationships reproductive health providers and their patients build, and I have fostered this special connection with my patients since first becoming a physician. I became interested in fertility when I realized that the field involves not only scientific/medical aspects that excite me, but also unique patient relationships, research, and advocacy.

Traveling has always been important to me and my family. I love cooking, especially adapting recipes to be vegetarian/vegan (my husband is vegan, but I love cheese too much to commit). Spending time outdoors, whether hiking, jogging, biking, or long walks through the city, always invigorates me. I can’t help but sing along to musical theater (my favorites include Rent, Mamma Mia, and Wicked).

While in most aspects of my life I do not take risks, I do tend to be an adventure seeker while traveling; I’ve hang glided off a mountain in Wyoming, swam with sharks in the Galapagos, rode up a mountain on the back of a stranger’s motorbike in Colombia, hiked an active volcano in Nicaragua, and more. While I often feel nervous initially, it’s always worth it!
