Patient Testimonial
From the very first appointment Dr Griffith was compassionate, patient, and always took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that made us feel informed and supported. IVF can be overwhelming, but he never rushed our questions and made sure we truly understood our options.

Dr. Griffith was very attentive to our concerns and thorough when explaining our plan of care! Thank you.

Dr. Griffith is an honest, compassionate physician who truly puts his patients first. He is a true role model for what healthcare providers should strive to be.

We are so blessed to have found Shady Grove and Dr. Vitez, Hailey, and Bree and the rest of the Shady Grove staff.

Simply put, SGF helped my husband and I become parents to our son, and for that, we are forever grateful to the SGF crew. Thank you will never be enough, but THANK YOU SGF!

Loved my experience with SGF! They go above and beyond for their patients. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family members who may experience some sort of pregnancy infertility or complication because they felt like family when I finally got to announce a successful pregnancy.

Q&A

After starting out my career as a physician assistant working in family medicine, I was able to begin what I consider to be my “dream job” here at Shady Grove Fertility. While my interest in fertility began during my physician assistant training in my reproductive endocrinology rotation with Abington Reproductive Medicine, I later developed a passion for this field after becoming an infertility patient myself. I have a two-and-a-half year old son, Finn, who was conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) with Shady Grove Fertility in 2019. Having experienced the heartache of failed attempts, I have a profound degree of compassion for our patients, a distinct understanding of their journeys, and a strong desire to contribute to the advancement of the field of fertility medicine in whatever capacity that I can. I also have a sincere appreciation for and trust in the physicians of Shady Grove Fertility. I see every day how Shady Grove Fertility creates hope and fulfills the dreams of our patients, and I am honored to be a part of the Shady Grove Fertility Team.

I enjoy spending time with my family. We worked so hard to conceive my son, and I treasure every moment that I have with him.
