Patient Testimonial
At no point in time did I feel hopeless and was always comforted by next steps and kind words. But Dr. Mitchell truly is extra. I felt like her only patient. I can’t speak enough to her kindness. It is my firm belief that she 100000X capable of leading someone to pregnancy success.

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. Davis is the sweetest doctor and Dee is so wonderful I couldn’t imagine going through this journey with any other clinic. Thank you guys so much for everything. If you thinking about doing IVF this clinic is beyond everything you need for your fertility journey.

Dr. Lersten is so kind and explains procedures calmly, which helps relieve anxiety while going through the difficult process of fertility treatments. I am thankful to SGF for helping me build the family I’ve always wanted. I highly recommend SGF to anyone going through infertility.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and support we received from Dr. Selter and the entire team at SGF. From our very first consultation, we felt understood and supported. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Selter and the team at SFG for helping us start our family.

Dr. Healy is amazing! She was there to help us through every step of our fertility journey. She checked in frequently and was always able to answer any questions we had. Her calm and supportive demeanor brought a sense of peace to my husband and I during these anxious times.

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!
