Patient Testimonial
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!

I’ve had two successful pregnancies through fertility treatments with Dr. Nicole Marchetto at Shady Grove Fertility, and I can’t say enough good things about her. She is kind, compassionate, and truly invested in her patients’ journeys. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and highly recommend her.

Dr. Lersten was incredible—always positive, warm, and genuinely supportive. Her kindness and encouragement made a difficult time feel a little easier, and I always felt like I was in good hands. If you’re navigating the challenges of starting a famil, I highly recommend Dr. Lersten.

Dr. Gannon made me feel truly cared for—she was very thorough, kind, and knowledgeable, which really put me at ease. I went in feeling nervous, but left feeling completely comfortable and confident in her care. The entire team, including the staff, made me feel like a priority.

Shady Grove Fertility provides exceptional care and support under the expertise, knowledge and professionalism of Dr. Patounakis. He is incredibly successful at his work as well as thorough, compassionate and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Patounakis and the entire team at Shady Grove Fertility.

Dr. Kim and team are the best of the best. We switched clinics and have had a great experince. He truly listens to your concerns, never does the same thing twice, and is very involved in your journey. I would refer anyone to go to there in a heartbeat!

Q&A

Reproductive medicine has always been a true passion for me on a professional and personal level. As a former fertility/IVF patient, I share the struggles that our patients face and feel so privileged to have the opportunity to help guide and educate them through their fertility process. 

Family time with my daughter and husband will always be my favorite thing. I also love to bake.  

I am a true “Professional Student.” I have been “in school” or specific programs of study for 32 years of my life. There will ALWAYS be so much more to learn!
