Patient Testimonial
Dr. Romanski filled us with so much hope when we needed it the most. Him and his team are absolutely amazing and hands on. I have never felt more cared for at a practice before. Highly recommend him for any fertility needs.

Dr. Barnard was wonderful to work with! I appreciated her care, patience, support, and calming demeanor. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. While this process can be very intimidating and overwhelming, I felt better knowing that I had her on my side.

I began my own egg-freezing journey as an OB/GYN resident. Looking back 10 years later, now 38 years old, engaged, and ready to start my own family, I’m relieved to have frozen my eggs. At the same time, I feel obligated to give back and address the toll that surgical training has on women.

SGF in Alpharetta is fantastic. The office is beautiful and brand new. The office and clinical staff are friendly, they make you feel comfortable and they are very accommodating. I have never had to wait long for my appointment.

I have only wonderful things to say about Dr. Gay and his staff at the Alpharetta location. Knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional… I could not have asked for better care.

Dr. Swelstad has somehow perfected the difficult balance of being thoroughly educated and up to date in his field and patient and kind enough to make you feel important to him.

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.
