Patient Testimonial
Dr. Gannon made me feel truly cared for—she was very thorough, kind, and knowledgeable, which really put me at ease. I went in feeling nervous, but left feeling completely comfortable and confident in her care. The entire team, including the staff, made me feel like a priority.

Shady Grove Fertility provides exceptional care and support under the expertise, knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Patounakis. He is incredibly successful at his work as well as thorough, compassionate and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Patounakis and the entire team at Shady Grove Fertility.

Dr. Kim and team are the best of the best. We switched clinics and have had a great experince. He truly listens to your concerns, never does the same thing twice, and is very involved in your journey. I would refer anyone to go to there in a heartbeat!

I had a wonderful experience with IVF at Shady Grove. 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 and the entire team!

Dr. Kim is an amazing doctor and person. Since our first encounter with him, we just knew we were in the right hands. He is so very detailed, thorough, and kind hearted. He makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him.

Dr. Barnard is absolutely lovely and answered all my questions. She is very personable and kept us updated throughout the whole fertility process.

Q&A

I always had an interest in women’s health, but loved the aspect of REI that allows me to focus solely on helping women through their fertility journey. It’s such a rewarding field where you get to see your hard work and the patients pay off.

Traveling to new countries, trying new restaurants, Pilates, and hiking. I love getting outside, pushing myself outside my comfort zone.

I used to compete at Junior Olympics for Diving.
