Patient Testimonial
This office of ladies has been nothing short of a blessing in mine and my husbands life. We wouldn’t have been able to get to this position without our wonderful medical team! We are so blessed to have found Shady Grove and Dr. Vitez, Hailey, and Bree and the rest of the Shady Grove staff.

Dr. Healy was there for my husband and I after our D&C, and we immediately wanted to switch to her. By a disguised blessing, we were able to and she was on the journey with us as we expect our new miracle baby. I would recommend Dr. Healy over and over and over!

I cannot express enough good things about Dr. Mae Healy (and her nurse Emily)! She has truly walked right alongside us with every test result, diagnosis, exciting moment, all the way to graduation. She not only laughs with you, she educates you, and includes you. I will forever be grateful for her.

I’ve been going through my IVF process whilst undergoing breast cancer treatment. After my retrievals, it was discovered that I had multiple fibroids. I met Dr. Robinson and was thoroughly impressed by his kindness and genuinely taking the time to understand my case and plan my surgery.

I had a wonderful experience with IVF at Shady Grove Fertility. 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!

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.

Q&A

I spent my early nursing career working in women’s health. While pursuing my master’s degree as a NP I worked in the fertility office where I had been a patient (a successful one). I found my new calling. I felt that I could bring a perspective to the job of a previous patient. I have never looked back on that decision.

Watching just about any sport on TV or in person, especially baseball, reading, needlepoint and traveling.

Probably nothing, since I’m a pretty open book.
