Patient Testimonial
Had my first consultation with Dr. Kendall and could not have been more pleased! She was so kind, patient and thorough during the consultation. With this being such a sensitive topic, and walking in extremely anxious, we left feeling so hopeful and excited about the journey.

Dr. Mitchell is easily the best doctor I’ve ever had. She took the time to explain each step, discuss options, and ensure I felt informed and empowered throughout the process. I was also impressed by how much she remembered about my history, preferences, and goals.

This office of ladies has been nothing short of a blessing in mine and my husbands life. We wouldn’t have been able to get to this position without our wonderful medical team! We are so blessed to have found Shady Grove and Dr. Vitez, Hailey, and Bree and the rest of the Shady Grove staff.

Dr. Healy was there for my husband and I after our D&C, and we immediately wanted to switch to her. By a disguised blessing, we were able to and she was on the journey with us as we expect our new miracle baby. I would recommend Dr. Healy over and over and over!

I cannot express enough good things about Dr. Mae Healy (and her nurse Emily)! She has truly walked right alongside us with every test result, diagnosis, exciting moment, all the way to graduation. She not only laughs with you, she educates you, and includes you. I will forever be grateful for her.

I’ve been going through my IVF process whilst undergoing breast cancer treatment. After my retrievals, it was discovered that I had multiple fibroids. I met Dr. Robinson and was thoroughly impressed by his kindness and genuinely taking the time to understand my case and plan my surgery.
