I was a patient of Dr. McCarthy-Keith's for about two years. After almost 2 years of trying to have a baby unsuccessfully, I came to Shady Grove. I was feeling helpless at the time, and Dr. MK put me at ease immediately. My husband and I had quite a complicated issue which Dr. McCarthy-Keith helped us resolve over the course of the time we were patients of hers', which led us to welcome our beautiful baby boy at the beginning of this month. Dr. McCarthy-Keith and her staff were always available to answer questions that we had, and made us feel like we were a priority.
We are forever thankful for Dr. McCarthy-Keith and her staff for being so caring, accomodating and determined to help us have our miracle baby.
