Patient Testimonial
The absolute best! Dr. Amrane is so caring and considerate!

Dr. Amrane is a wonderful, calming presence during a very stressful and emotional time. This process would have been so much harder without the compassionate support of Dr. Amrane and team.

Dr. Amrane was with us every step of our two year journey at Shady Grove Fertility. She is very knowledgeable and has a lovely, calming and reassuring presence which was very helpful in such a confusing and challenging time.

Dr. Amrane is truly fantastic. She ensures that you as her patient are aware of the steps and checks on you throughout your treatment to see how you are doing and if you have any concerns/questions.

Dr. Amrane’s care, compassion and overall drive to make sure her patients are successful is what kept us fighting when sometimes it felt like a truly uphill climb.

Dr. Amrane made everything easy to understand and was always quick to respond if need be.

Dr. Amrane is one of a kind! We will miss her but will be back when it’s time for baby #2!

Dr. Amrane never gave up and always had a plan for the next round.

Dr. Amrane is caring and extremely knowledgeable! I am pregnant with baby number 2 all thanks to her and her incredible team!

Q&A

I was inspired to become an OB/GYN starting at age twelve. At that time, I began to learn about the incredible journey my grandmother took as the first female obstetrician in her community, which did not typically allow for women to be educated at that time. Her determination, resilience, and passion for women’s health inspired me to want to empower women through medical treatment.

My interest in reproductive endocrinology began during medical school. In my fourth year, I did a rotation with an REI in New York, and fell in love with the field. Her closeness to her patients, the rapidly evolving science in the field, and the ultimate supreme happiness of getting patients pregnant drew me to this incredibly rewarding career.

I love sharing precious moments with my daughter and husband, and together, we love to experience different cultures by trying new foods and traveling. I also love to dance and bake – I have a real sweet tooth!

I get my daily inspiration from my grandmother, who is now retired. As the first female obstetrician in her community, her dedication to her patients was incredible, despite the large obstacles she faced. I am also inspired and humbled by my patients every day, who are prepared to fight to achieve the family they have always dreamed of, despite the challenges and constraints it may place on their lives.

I am inspired by my patients every day! The first patient who comes to mind is a Spanish-speaking patient who traveled 2 hours each way to be seen. Unfortunately, she had several treatment failures, but despite this, the language barrier, and her long commute, always stayed positive and would greet my staff and I with a humongous smile. Her resilience and positivity humbled and inspired me. Ultimately, she became pregnant and continued her positivity through pregnancy!

I love to dance because it is an athletic art and a great workout, while producing beautiful movement and allowing for creativity. I also enjoy baking, photography, and time with family.

I am most proud of the level of hard work and dedication of each and every team member at SGF. I think this has to do with how passionate each team member is about the extraordinary, noble goal of helping patients’ families grow, and I am proud to be a part of such a passionate group!

I take my time, as I believe that a little bit of extra time and comfort goes a long way. The process of fertility testing and treatment is not easy, and it is normal for patients to struggle. I lend an ear to listen and answer all the questions they may have.

Caring with a big heart, loyal, and honest. I prefer to share the truth upfront with patients, although it may be difficult to share at times. However, I am a firm believer that only the truth can give us the power to move forward.

I lived in New York City for 11 years, and I speak French and Spanish fluently! I’m a native Marylander, and I am so excited to be back in Maryland and helping the people in my community grow their families!
