Wonderful experience from the moment we walked through the doors. We were treated as unique people and not ushered through as if they knew the solution without talking further to us. We talked almost an hour to Dr Sasson and left feeling understood and thankful to have found him.

I have just begun the process here at Shady Grove. I had been under the care of a previous REI doctor for about a year when someone recommended Dr. Sasson to me. I have spend a lot of time researching and understanding the best options for me and my (hopefully) growing family. One of the first things Dr. Sasson said to me was - "stop goggling - just email me". This is the first time a doctor has ever said that to me. Additionally, Dr. Sasson called me (when it was convent to my schedule) and spoke with me for over 30 minutes regarding a few questions I had. In addition to that my nurse, Lisa Russell, also called me twice that day to help guide me and help me through the process. This was so important to me because if they hadn't called and spent the time I may have had to wait another month to begin the IVF process. They realized this was a time sensitive issue and they cared! My husband and I are overwhelmed with the kindness and appropriate care I have already been give. I am feeling at ease with moving forward with this emotional journey.

Dr Sasson and the Shady Grove team (Lisa Russell was our dedicated nurse!) were fantastic. The whole process is so emotional and personal that it made it so much more important to have a staff that was not only knowledgeable but also empathetic; they manage to make you feel like their to priority and not just a number or a another patient. They are accessible as well outside of appointments to answer questions etc which was important. We did one round of IVF successfully and are expecting in the next few weeks. I've recommended a few friends who have also had similar success (and many of them had not had success at prior fertility doctors in the area). Can't say enough about Dr Sasson, Lisa Russell and the whole SHF team

I have only been sewing Dr. Sasson for several months, but am already so impressed with the quality of care I have recieved. Dr. Sasson always takes lots of time to go over the protocal with me and works to make sure it is a good fit for us in all aspects, including emotionally. I appreciate the entire team at Shadey Grove, from Nina at the front desk, to my nurse and the financial advisor. Everyone works together and I never feel like just a number.

Shady Grove is an outstanding practice that we could write pages about in excellence & care. We can't give Dr. Sasson enough thanks and praise on his commitment and compassion in helping us during a difficult time. Dr. Sasson exuded confidence in his approach while being humble about the steps. We trusted Dr. Sasson 100% in his ability and without a doubt would highly recommend him to anyone TTC. In addition to Dr. Sasson he has put together an amazing team who made the process less stressful and really showed how much they cared about us. It's hard to put into words how thankful we are that we went to Shady Grove and had Dr. Sasson, we will be forever grateful for him helping us bring our baby into this world.

He is a great doctor. He's brilliant, compassionate, and humble. SG was our 3rd clinic.We only went there because we had such a good experience with Dr, Sasson while he was on fellowship. Our son was born in January 2014 . Dr. Sasson was in to visit us a few hours after the C-section. We have recommended Dr. Sasson to a few of our friends. He and his staff are the best.

Dr. Sasson, without a doubt, is not only the reason I have two beautiful 4 month old twins, but is also the reason I am here to tell you about it.

My husband and I were experiencing some infertility and were referred to Dr. Sasson. He took the time to really sit down and listen to our background, and worked us up. He ordered the test which diagnosed me with stage 3 ovarian cancer. If not for Dr. Sasson, I'm certain we wouldn't have found it when we did. Certainly, it was an emotional time and I was feeling overwhelmed and in shock. The first day back to the office, his first words to me were, "Don't worry, I will take care of you." The weight was lifted, I put my trust in him, and here I am over 2 years later cancer free with 2 beautiful babies. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for him.

Dr Sasson and his staff are the best. Because of them we have been blessed with our first baby, born in Nov 2015. His nursing stuff was awesome. Always checking in with me during the process. Dr. Sasson even visited me in the hospital during a bad spell. He didn't have to but he did. He sat and talked to me, keeping me company while my husband was out. Now that is a Dr that has caring and compassion for his patients.
A friend heard their ad on the radio and told me about them. I called and made an appointment. We never looked back. My husband and our close family are grateful every day for Shady Grove. Because without them and Dr. Sasson we would not have our little bundle of Happiness!
We are already talking and planning to go back in for #2!

Dr. Sasson and his staff are exactly the type of people you want on your side through this sensitive process. I felt like part of their family. They would call and email me to check how I was doing. Appointments were always on time which allowed me to get to work on time if i had an early morning appointment. When i first started this process I went to Main Line Fertility and I felt like "cattle". They would call three or four patients into the back of the room where there was another waiting room. Then you would get blood work and wait again. Then you would get your ultrasound and then have to wait for the doctor. At Mainline, it took hours for each appointment. At Shady Grove, the Dr. did the ultrasound and you never waited more than a few minutes. Everyone should go to Shady Grove!!! BY the way... I have a happy, beautiful 6 month old!

Dr. Sasson is an amazing doctor! After my first consultation I felt at ease and confident that he would help me to conceive the baby I so desperately wanted. He is very intelligent and explained everything in easy to understand details. He took his time and answered all of our questions, even returning phone calls at night and answering emails over the weekend. He is compassionate and makes you feel as if getting you pregnant is his #1 goal. I live and work full time in the Lehigh Valley and it takes about an hour to get to Chesterbrook, but I would not go anywhere else, SGF is the best! Everyone at SGF is friendly and helpful and I enjoyed getting to know the staff after several appointments. You get the feeling that everyone is rooting for you to have that precious baby. I highly recommend Dr. Sasson and SGF to anyone having trouble conceiving. I am looking forward to returning for baby #2.
