Patient Testimonial
From the first consultation until our final appointment Dr. Doyle was empathetic, compassionate, and very easy to talk to. He reviewed my diagnosis and treatments each step of the way and changed our protocols accordingly to result in a positive and viable pregnancy.

Dr. Doyle is a wonderful and experienced provider who supports and believes in his patients. He will take time to educate you and allow you to be involved in your care.

Dr. Doyle was wonderful during our Donor Egg process. He was detailed, warm, and honest throughout. He and his team did a great job, and now we have a beautiful baby girl.

Words can’t even describe the amazing patient care I received at SGF. As someone who was afraid to begin treatment, everyone made it wonderful experience. Dr. Doyle is truly the BEST doctor I have ever had.

From the start Dr. Doyle made you feel like a friend and never a number. One of the best parts of this whole process was receiving a congratulations voicemail from Dr. Doyle. He never stopped supporting our needs.

Dr. Doyle kept us informed and even called on weekends. His bedside manner is great. And best of all he helped to bring our beautiful son into our lives. Dr. Doyle will forever have a place in our hearts!

Your sincere compassion, combined with your openness and sensitivity make you a doctor that is perfectly suited for helping families through what is often an endlessly heartbreaking process. Thank you.

Dr. Doyle is a genuinely nice guy. He was caring, patient, open to questions and suggestions, made us feel valued and not like another number at a facility that sees a lot of patients.

Hands down, Dr. Doyle is the most wonderful reproductive endocrinologist we have ever dealt with, and we have dealt with a few. He also truly cares about his patients and it shows.

Dr. Doyle is incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and personable. I’d recommend him to anyone looking into egg freezing or infertility treatments.

Q&A

For the mind: reading, sports, and a nice hot sauna. For the body: triathlons, skiing, gardening, and canoeing (pretty much anything outside). For the soul: a big dinner party with family and friends, and having a good time.

Traveling through southern Italy was breathtaking. It was a perfect combination of history, food, beauty, and life. You get pulled right into it when you’re there, and together with my wife it was a joy to join right in.

When I was growing up, I volunteered as a boy scout at the local hospital and during the summer at a camp for children with diabetes. It all started with small roles, but more and more, it left me with a sense of fulfillment and meaning, which I was curious to explore further. The opportunities to contribute and make a difference in medicine abound. This naturally led to becoming a physician, and growing through each new step, the feeling of purpose and meaning after a day of work has never left. Happily, I know with what I do now, it will always stay that way.

The way to a happy, healthy family can be confusing, frustrating, and sometimes even frightening, and I am proud of the way we guide our patients through this. It is a privilege to work with a couple to build a family in the right way for them. I have seen a number of fertility centers, and I found no comparison to Shady Grove Fertility. I am proud to work here every day, and know I am offering the very best that there is to my patients. Making important contributions to my patients and the field is very important to me. I truly believe there isn’t a better place I could do this than Shady Grove Fertility.

Swimming the Chesapeake and the run across Maryland are next!
