Patient Testimonial
With Dr. Mitchell, I felt like I actually had options and was an active participant in my treatment plan. One of the things that sets her apart is how communicative she is. She personally handled most of my appointments, and when she didn’t, she always made a point to call or send a message.

From the very first consultation, Dr. Mitchell made my husband and I feel at ease and reassured. Having a infertility diagnosis felt so scary and left us with so many questions about the future, but she helped ease our fears.

This has been far an experience for my family, and I however doctor Mitchell has been amazing and very straight forward from the very beginning. I’m so thankful for her and the wonderful staff that made me feel as family everytime I arrived there.

I am so grateful to have found myself at SGF Carolinas. In this clinic I received an extremely thorough fertility workup, an individualized treatment plan, and always felt heard by my care team.

I would highly recommend Dr. Selter due to her knowledge, attention to detail, empathy/care for patients, and ability to explain things patiently during a time of high stress for patients. She explained things to me every step of the way so that I would feel comfortable and informed.

I wish I could give them more stars! Everyone here was so sweet and kind along my entire journey. My nurse Mya has been SO responsive with my billion questions! Dr. Swelstad is just amazing! Every single person in this facility made me feel so special and so well taken care of!

Q&A

For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about the field of medicine and how science can be used to improve patients’ lives. I see no greater privilege than being able to help patients as they navigate their journey to building a family, which is why I chose to become an REI physician.

After extensive reproductive endocrinology and infertility training during my residency, I knew I wanted to become a reproductive healthcare provider. No two patients presenting for fertility care are the same. Working alongside patients, developing individualized treatment plans and helping patients reach their specific fertility goals, is an incredibly fulfilling experience.

Shady Grove Fertility is, first and foremost, focused on providing the best care to the patient. As a practice, SGF prioritizes research and innovation, so that patients continue to receive the most up to date, evidence-based care.

I had the opportunity to take care of a patient with multiple unexplained recurrent pregnancy losses. Her resilience and strength to continue treatment, despite the uncertainty of the future, was incredibly inspiring to me.

I want patients to always know they are not alone during their fertility journey. Their entire care team at SGF supports them, will advocate for them, and can provide many additional resources as needed. 

My grandmother — she was a mother to six and one of the only female lawyers at her firm in the 1950s. She overcame a lot of adversity and did not take “no” for an answer! 

Most of the time, energetic and upbeat!

To visit all 7 continents! 

I love being outside in any capacity! Hiking, running, playing tennis.
