Patient Testimonial
From the moment I walked in, I felt nothing but comfort. Whether I start now or later, I’m not trusting anyone else with my fertility health. Love this office!

I cannot recommend Dr. Marchetto enough. She walked a very unique path with us. She held my hand every step and hurdle along the way, through all the tears and celebrations. I am forever thankful for her.

After 4 years of infertility, my husband and I chose to switch practices to Shady Grove Newark and Anne Hutchinson’s care. The difference was night and day. Dr. Hutchinson listens to her patients and makes them feel valued. My only regret is not finding her sooner!!

Amazing care! Dr. Quaas and his team are so proficient, professional, caring and understanding.

Shady Grove Fertility is the best in the country and the Carolinas. I was fortunate enough to find my way into SGF after poor care and treatment at another clinic. I needed a place where I felt seen, heard, and cared for. Dr. Mersereau, Wendy, and Ellie are the dream team!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!! We love SGF Houston – Beaumont. Dr. Crochet has been nothing but the most wonderful doctor!

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.
