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.

Q&A

I was interested in OB/GYN from the beginning of medical school since I am an ardent feminist. At the time I started my medical education, there were few women doctors and a very small number of female OB/GYNs (which is hard to believe given their predominance currently). I thought it was important to have a woman’s perspective for many gynecologic issues, and I still do!

Reproductive medicine deals with the foundation of life, literally. Through the practice of IVF, we have learned so much about the beginnings of human life and the things that lead to the birth of a healthy child. To me, that is very interesting and exciting.

In an era of corporate medicine, it is fundamental to maintain focus on both medical outcomes and patient satisfaction. I think SGF succeeds in keeping both focuses at its core.

 I am quiet but curious, and I love to hear people tell their stories 

I would like to visit more national parks in the western U.S. They are all amazing!

I love the outdoors — gardening, hiking, biking, and skiing. I find peace and tranquility there.

I grow lots of vegetables and some flowers in my garden. I like to make soups with the veggies and various things with rhubarb, which is my main “crop” — my rhubarb chutney gets rave reviews. I am also active in my community, participating in volunteer activities, singing in the choral group, and being involved in interfaith community service projects.
