Dr. Sasson and the SGF team are out of this world! Dr. Sasson's compassion, ability to listen, and genuine care for his patients are outstanding. As busy as he is, I always felt like he had time for my husband and me, and when we were with him felt like we were his only patients. He builds a level of trust with his patients that is so critical during what is such a difficult journey emotionally and physically. We now have a baby girl! I 100% recommend him to anyone seeking fertility treatment!

Dr. Season was knowledgeable and compassionate. The staff at the office are awesome. It was a bit jarring to enter into a regular ob practice once we got pregnant! He was wonderful at explaining each of our options, the risks and benefits, and outlined the process in detail. On a few occasions he called me directly to check on a detail. I appreciated his knowledge of self care and relaxation techniques.

After being with another clinic for two years with no luck, I called Shady Grove. They set me up for a consultation with Dr. Sasson. I brought all my medical records with me from the other clinic. Dr. Sasson sat with me in his office going page by page through that file (spending about 2 hours with my husband and myself) mapping out a new plan for me. My husband and I were approved for the money back guarantee program. We signed up right away and got started with the IVF program. About a month after my consultation we started the process. On my first frozen embryo transfer we were pregnant. Dr. Sasson was the kindest doctor throughout my entire experience. He is extremely passionate about what he does and truly cares about you. The staff at Shady Grove is also great too. I would recommend anyone going through this check out Shady Grove and Dr. Sasson. They blessed me with a healthy baby girl that I thought I would never have.

I also appreciated how Dr. Sasson mapped out the diagnosis algorithm so I knew that all issues of potential were being explored, how we were exploring them, and the way to interpret the results. He remembered my story and personal values accurately from appointment to appointment, and by way of this, I felt like he was offering strategies to me that were consistent with my personal comfort. My appointments were always very punctual, the staff very welcoming and friendly, and communication was always predictable with call backs, etc. I have had a very pleasant experience, felt genuinely cared for by this group, and had a sense that they truly wished for a good outcome for our family and sought to help achieve that every step of the process.

Dr. Sasson is a rare diamond! As a visual learner, I love how he walks (and draws) my husband and I through our infertility diagnosis laying out all of our options and next steps. Not only is he an expert in his field, he is compassionate and kind. Dr. Sasson's outstanding bedside manner has given me hope and comfort when I have needed it most-- even holding my hand as I waited for the anesthesia to kick in during my first ever egg retrieval. I wish there were more doctors like Dr. Sasson in this world.
SGF's early morning appointments help me manage fertility treatments while working full time. Dr. Sasson and my nurse Debbie are always very responsive to my e-mails and patient with my questions.
The smiling and caring faces that always greet me at SGF make this daunting journey just a little bit easier. My husband and I are so grateful for Dr. Sasson and our SGF family including Debbie, Nina, Jamie & Ted!

Having worked with 6 different fertility clinics throughout the US, I can unequivocally state that Dr. Sasson is a leader in his field. His technical expertise is without question but what sets him apart is his unabashed commitment to his patients. He spends a tremendous amount of time listening and partnering with you to resolve your case, whatever the outcome. His appropriate and refreshing measures of optimism with strong balance of realities help you understand your possibilities but also your own personal imitations (we all have them, even if we can't come to grips with them). I recommend him to all those I meet without reservation. Shady Grove's financial options also are some of the best in the country, you are remiss to not research the opportunities here.

After going to 2 other fertility clinics in the area, I can say that Shady Grove and Dr. Sasson are by far the best around! Dr. Sasson takes time to listen to his patients and is very kind and knowledgeable. I'm so grateful to him and the SG staff for helping us create our family. He is a genuine and caring doctor and is great at what he does!

I am currently a patient of Dr Sasson and could not be happier with the choice we made. His compassion & empathy make you feel he is invested in your goal. The office staff is warm & appointments are always prompt (this helps ease some of the tension involved in the whole IVF process). It is comforting to know that either Dr Sasson or our nurse also return calls so quickly. They make us feel like a priority and have helped give us some comfort during this difficult to navigate & emotional process.
