Patient Testimonial
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.

I would highly recommend Dr. Selter due to her knowledge, attention to detail, empathy/care for patients, and ability to explain things patiently during a time of high stress for patients. She explained things to me every step of the way so that I would feel comfortable and informed.

I wish I could give them more stars! Everyone here was so sweet and kind along my entire journey. My nurse Mya has been SO responsive with my billion questions! Dr. Swelstad is just amazing! Every single person in this facility made me feel so special and so well taken care of!

Q&A

I love women’s health and focused on that area in my graduate program. I chose to work in reproductive medicine because of the opportunity to be a part of a patient’s family-building journey. I take joy in so many aspects of my job, especially being able to provide education and support to fertility patients in different phases of treatment. I feel I have a unique role to be present with them as they go through difficult circumstances as well as the chance to celebrate their successful moments. After working so many years in this field, I have also gotten to see such an evolution in all that we can offer patients for improved outcomes. It has certainly been a privilege to experience so many growing families and help encourage them along their journey. 

I enjoy staying active and spending time with family and friends. Tennis and pickleball have been great outdoor activities that have kept me busy on the weekends. I also love music and attending local concerts–Country music and 80’s cover bands are some of my favorites! Most of all I really appreciate time with my family whether it is cheering on my daughters’ sports teams, playing board games, or traveling to different parts of the country to build new memories together. 

I appreciate true crime mysteries and watching the next episode of a “Whodunnit?” show. I love getting to know the characters and plot and deciphering the evidence until I have finally guessed the villain!
