After trying for over a year and receiving discouraging test results, my OB sent me to Shady Grove Fertility. I live almost 2 hours from the Chesterbrook office but had several strong recommendations from friends to see Dr. Sasson. Upon my first appointment with Dr. Sasson, he suspected I had endometriosis, which had never been diagnosed by my primary OB. It took me a few months to settle with the idea of proceeding with IVF, but once I did, I knew I was making the right decision. Dr. Sasson was so kind, caring, encouraging, and realistic with the best course of action for me. He recommended we do carrier genetic testing, test our embryos, and that I do the ReceptivaDx test to confirm endometriosis – which then gave us a specific protocol to follow for both egg retrieval and transfer. Less than a year after our initial appointment with Dr. Sasson, I had a frozen embryo transfer and was pregnant. Recently we welcomed a happy and healthy baby girl and I have Dr. Sasson, our nurse Megan, and the SGF staff to thank for our little miracle!!

I came to Dr. Sasson per recommendation of my good friend who was lucky enough to deliver two healthy babies one after another via IVF. I was very nerveous about reaching out but my friend assured me that Dr. Sasson will make me feel comfortable. And that was exactly what I experienced. After the first meeting, I was actually looking forward to all the rest of the consultations, procedures, and discussions. The process is well set up and along your fertility journey you will be accompanied not only by Dr. Sasson but also by the case manager, financial consultant, a nurse, etc. I received information or met with someone who discussed with me every step of the process. I felt excited and confident. In my particular case, right after IVF the prescribed medications caused a lot of pain. I had one of the regular appointments (which was not about this pain) but when I told them about my complications, they immediately found Dr. Sasson, who talked to me about my symptoms and changed my prescriptions on the spot. He also assured me that the changes (which eliminated a lot of my pain) would in no way affect the "potenital fetus" (who turned out to be a real fetus :).

I think in this whole story, the hardest step for me was the first one and that is the step where Dr. Sasson made me feel comfortable and 'normal', which I greatly appreciate. Also, I have a great fear of male OBGYN, but he was extremely professional, gentle, and reassuring to the point that when I was 'released' to a regular OBGYN practice and was assigned as one of my Dr. a male Dr. I did not refuse and accepted the option.

I highly recommend SGF and Dr. Sasson. I have a helthy baby boy and I hope every family who longes for one (or a girl) could eventually arrive there. And Dr. Sasson is a true magician who can help this happen.

We would highly recommend Dr. Sasson and SGF Chesterbrook to anyone looking to grow their family through IVF process. We started our journey of seeking fertility assistance through a different clinic. As the fertility process evolved, we sensed several things which made us grow hesitant to the point we decided to look for a different clinic and provider.
After some research, we found SGF Chesterbrook and Dr. Sasson. From the very beginning, we were able to experience the difference in care, quality and attention to detail that Dr. Sasson and SGF offered us. They are a very compassionate and knowledgeable team.
I can say we have been incredibly blessed as  we achieved a successful pregnancy after our first IVF cycle! There are simply not enough words to express how grateful we are with the Lord, in the first place, and then, with Dr. Sasson and SGF. At this moment, my wife is 7 month pregnant and we can't wait to meet our baby boy Sammy!

After a year of wasted time and $$ at another clinic we found Dr. Sasson. Specifically looking for a shared risk program - he accepted us into his. We bought into it twice and are pregnant with our second miracle because of him and his team. Dr. Sasson is what every doctor should be. He is patient, kind, compassionate, helpful, smart, and ALL OF THE THINGS. I felt confident being in his care from the moment we met him. He would literally do anything for his patients to be successful and you can feel that when you are in his presence. He has not been jaded by years of practice, he genuinely cares about each and every one of his patients. In helping us grow our family he has become more than our doctor, he is our family. We will never be able to repay him for all he did for us but we are grateful that he is doing what he is doing to help people grow their families. We recommend him 10/10 with no reservations. I would travel across the world just so he could be our doctor.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Sasson. I started working with him to freeze my eggs then moved on to embryo transfers when I was ready to become a mom. Dr. Sasson is so knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. He is very supportive and honest. He listened to me and provided me guidance and his recommendations for the best possible path to get pregnant. Dr. Sasson is kind, caring, and empathetic. Through stage IV endometriosis and recurrent pregnancy loss, Dr. Sasson was there for me. I was able to get pregnant and deliver my rainbow baby. I got my miracle baby, but if I was trying for baby #2, I would definitely go back to see Dr. Sasson. He is the best!

We transferred to Dr. Sasson from out of state. (1500 miles away) We spent lot of time and money locally and then found Dr. Sasson by happenstance. It was a divine appointment. He is the most amazing human and physician. He is smart, kind, caring, and embodies what is good in this world. I wouldn't be holding my miracle without him. I would travel to the ends of the earth just so he could be my doctor. Words truly don't do him justice.
