Patient Testimonial
Simply put, SGF helped my husband and I become parents to our son, and for that, we are forever grateful to the SGF crew. Thank you will never be enough, but THANK YOU SGF!

Loved my experience with SGF! They go above and beyond for their patients. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family members who may experience some sort of pregnancy infertility or complication because they felt like family when I finally got to announce a successful pregnancy.

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.

Q&A

I chose to work in this field because I love being a part of someone’s journey. I want to empower women with education about their fertility and be a support system throughout their treatment process. Each one of us is unique and our fertility care should reflect this. I enjoy building relationships with patients and knowing that I can be there to provide a safe space through their fertility journey means so much to me as an advanced practice provider.

I love doing workout classes, reading, playing with my pittie, and helping with animal rescue organizations!  

I have not been to an Eagles game even though I lived in Philadelphia for years – GO BIRDS!
