Patient Testimonial
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.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Shah and his team at Shady Grove Fertility in Spring. If you’re wanting to try IVF but you’re nervous, give SGF a shot because the process was much more manageable than I thought it would be, due to the experience and kindness of this team.

Choosing Dr. Shah and his team at SGF for our IVF journey is one of the best decisions my partner and I made. Dr. Shah possesses exceptional medical expertise, but also a remarkable level of empathy, which is such a rare combination to experience as a patient. 

Dr. Morris was thoughtful and caring! She checked in throughout the entire egg retrieval process and responded to all questions. As a person of color, I deliberately sought her to be the lead of this very delicate and important step in my life. She was an outstanding provider!

We could not be more thankful to have had Dr. Katler’s support during our IVF journey. He was extremely thoughtful and attentive to our medical and emotional needs. We are eternally grateful to have found such a great doctor. Highly recommend!

Dr. Quaas is the kindest, most caring doctor. The team is truly the best and they really care about the patients. It’s a new practice, but I truly believe Dr. Quaas and the team understand the research and have great success rates. My husband and I are so grateful!

Q&A

What I love about my job at SGF is that I get to focus on endocrinology and hormones, while also educating and empowering patients about how their bodies function, teaching what we’re looking for when we’re doing tests, why we’re using certain medications, and what’s happening in their bodies. In addition to this, there is a huge psychological component to our work. By the time people walk into our office, they’ve likely already been on an emotional roller coaster, no matter how long their fertility experience has been. It’s important to me to support our patients and their partners in the best way I can as they make their way through their journey with us, and that’s a different approach for each person. 

I love to garden and have quite a few plants in my office at work. I like to sew and knit, but over the years, these hobbies have turned into more of a textile collection and less of an active hobby. I need to develop a closet cleaning hobby! 
 

I happen to have two incredible moms, so I have experienced firsthand that there are many ways that people create families.
