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!

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. Kim is an amazing doctor and person. Since our first encounter with him, we just knew we were in the right hands. He is so very detailed, thorough, and kind hearted. He makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him.

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).
