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 became an REI physician for several reasons: I am passionate about women’s health, from pap smears to IVF. I find the science behind reproductive medicine fascinating – there have been major advances in pregnancy rates in the nearly 20 years I’ve been in practice. Most importantly, I enjoy getting to know my patients and love sharing laughs and hugs every day! 

I appreciate that SGF aims to take a complicated and potentially stressful process and make it as easy and straightforward for patients as possible. This is evident in their high pregnancy rates, their compassionate staff, their Shared Risk 100% Refund program, and the easy access to care. They also actively initiate high-quality research projects, moving the field of REI forward to improved outcomes for patients.    

I find so many patients inspiring! It takes a lot of courage to even start down the fertility journey, and I’m constantly honored to have patients put their faith and trust in me to guide them on their path to achieve their family goals.   

I try to work with my patients to identify the root of the struggle – it’s a different solution based on the exact problem. I often enlist input from my whole team – between the nursing team, financial counselors, mental health providers, nutritionists, and others, we generally can work together with our patients to overcome most struggles. 

I’d love to live in a foreign country someday, for at least part of the year. 

I play a lot of doubles tennis – I can turn off external stresses for a brief time and have fun while exercising! I also love reading, mostly fiction – it’s fun when patients and I share book suggestions. 

I tend to always be ‘on the go’, running errands, trying a new restaurant, etc. I sometimes wish I could take more naps, but it’s not in my DNA.
