We have been seeing Shady Groves's Fertility Clinic for about six months. When we originally came in it was due to my wife having irregular periods and ovulation cycles. After six months, about a dozen tests, and a lot of money, we have found nothing. We have become so frustrated that we are now requesting a second appointment with the doctor and telling her we need pills to.help her ovulate. We should have started this six months ago when we knew it was a problem, but she wanted to run lots of expensive tests in case there was a second problem. I'm a believer of solving the cheap problem at hand instead of a lot of expensive options to find a problem that may or may not exist. Now that we are requesting treatment from them, they require more blood work and tests. Did they think we originally went to Shady Grove for lots of tests, but leave the treatment? I don't know why they're just telling us about this now. It has been extremely difficult to get in touch with the doctor.

After having a rocky start to our infertility journey, my husband and I were transitioned to Dr. K's care. I was unsure what to expect based on my experience with my previous doctor but we knew we wanted a baby and would do anything to achieve that goal.

Upon meeting Dr. K, I had a feeling things would be different and they were. Dr. K was absolutely amazing! She was patient and kind, she was genuinely passionate about helping us become parents and she shared in our emotions throughout our journey. I never questioned any recommendations she had or changes she made to our protocol because I knew her priority was helping us create our miracle baby. If we had questions about anything, I had no doubt that I would receive a phone call or email from Dr. K explaining things in a way we could understand.

The journey was anything but easy and surely had its fair share of heartbreak, but I maintained the strength to continue moving forward because Dr. K always had a plan ready to be put into action if/when things got off track.

Without Dr. K, our nurse Alexis and our support team at SGF, I don't think we would now be parents to our sweet Emma. And I know that if we need SGF again in the future, Dr. K will be ready and willing to support us again.

Dr. "K" and her team are excellent. They are friendly and almost make the pt feel at ease. Every time we went in scared and down-hearted, we left with a smile.

After four years of pain and sorrow, meeting Dr. K was an absolute game changer. Her demeanor alone made us feel like we had a new lease on (creating) life. She's incredible. She truly cares about getting to know her patients, and treated us with the sensitivity, warmth, and knowledge we so desperately needed. I'm six months pregnant with our first son after only one round of IVF. Dr. K. just called to check in the other day, and to remind us that if we ever need anything, she's only an email away. I'm feeling our little one kick away as I type this and we owe that wonderful gift to Dr. K and the amazing staff at SGF!

Where do I begin? Not only was Dr. K a good doctor, she was so much more than that. She was basically my therapist as well. She provided so much support during such a trying time for my husband and I. She gave us the time we needed and NEVER rushed us out her door. No questions were left unanswered ever and she treated every situation with kindness, respect, empathy, and compassion. I could go on and on. Thank God for SGF. I am now pregnant with my first child thanks to her and all the SGF staff (after 3 years of "infertility").

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. K, she is amazing. Very supportive throughout the whole experience. She always explained all our options and with each step we knew exactly what to expect. Her office was also very flexible with appointments. We have a beautiful baby boy now and we could not be happier! We feel very lucky to have had her for our doctor and did not realize how lucky we were until we heard a friend's experience with a different clinic, which was very disappointing. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing doctor.

Dr. K is beyond amazing! I was feeling defeated at the whole fertility process after going to another fertiliy specialist so when my husband and I went to Dr. K we were skeptical to say the least. What a different experience I had with Dr. K and the nurses! They make you feel like a person and not a number. Dr. K will personally call you to check on your progress and well being. She not only knows her stuff, but she explains everything to make sure you understand and know why you are doing things you are doing. She genuinely cares about her patients. I have nothing but rave reviews for Dr. K.
