Patient Testimonial
From the very first appointment Dr Griffith was compassionate, patient, and always took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that made us feel informed and supported. IVF can be overwhelming, but he never rushed our questions and made sure we truly understood our options.

Dr. Griffith was very attentive to our concerns and thorough when explaining our plan of care! Thank you.

Dr. Griffith is an honest, compassionate physician who truly puts his patients first. He is a true role model for what healthcare providers should strive to be.

We are so blessed to have found Shady Grove and Dr. Vitez, Hailey, and Bree and the rest of the Shady Grove staff.

Simply put, SGF helped my husband and I become parents to our son, and for that, we are forever grateful to the SGF crew. Thank you will never be enough, but THANK YOU SGF!

Loved my experience with SGF! They go above and beyond for their patients. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family members who may experience some sort of pregnancy infertility or complication because they felt like family when I finally got to announce a successful pregnancy.

Q&A

As a former infertility patient, I know the struggles our patients are facing. I wanted to be the provider I wish I had when I was a patient.

Most sunny weekends, you will find me on our boat. I love to soak up the sun, listen to good music or just the waves, and spend time with friends. I enjoy reading, usually lighthearted comedies or mysteries.

I get up every workday at 3 a.m. to hit the gym. I’m a lifelong Cubs fan who celebrated the 2016 World Series Champs while on call (and delivered a baby mid-game).
