Patient Testimonial
I had a wonderful experience with IVF at Shady Grove. The staff were incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the entire process. I am especially grateful for Dr. Sally Vitez, whose positivity and expertise made a significant difference. I couldn’t be more thankful for her and the entire team!

Dr. Kim is an amazing doctor and person. Since our first encounter with him, we just knew we were in the right hands. He is so very detailed, thorough, and kind hearted. He makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him.

Dr. Barnard is absolutely lovely and answered all my questions. She is very personable and kept us updated throughout the whole fertility process.

Dr. Barnard was extremely nice and helpful throughout the whole process. My wife is now pregnant and we couldn’t be happier!

Dr Barnard is the kindest doctor that I have ever met. She shares your joy and pain. She clearly has her patients best interest and takes the time to explain things in easy understandable terms. She enjoys working through ideas to find solutions.

SGF has helped us achieve our dream of creating a family. Thanks to Dr. Barnard and all of the SGF staff that helped us along the way. She really loves what she does and always looks out for what is best for her patients.

Q&A

For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about the field of medicine and how science can be used to improve patients’ lives. I see no greater privilege than being able to help patients as they navigate their journey to building a family, which is why I chose to become an REI physician.

After extensive reproductive endocrinology and infertility training during my residency, I knew I wanted to become a reproductive healthcare provider. No two patients presenting for fertility care are the same. Working alongside patients, developing individualized treatment plans and helping patients reach their specific fertility goals, is an incredibly fulfilling experience.

Shady Grove Fertility is, first and foremost, focused on providing the best care to the patient. As a practice, SGF prioritizes research and innovation, so that patients continue to receive the most up to date, evidence-based care.

I had the opportunity to take care of a patient with multiple unexplained recurrent pregnancy losses. Her resilience and strength to continue treatment, despite the uncertainty of the future, was incredibly inspiring to me.

I want patients to always know they are not alone during their fertility journey. Their entire care team at SGF supports them, will advocate for them, and can provide many additional resources as needed. 

My grandmother — she was a mother to six and one of the only female lawyers at her firm in the 1950s. She overcame a lot of adversity and did not take “no” for an answer! 

Most of the time, energetic and upbeat!

To visit all 7 continents! 

I love being outside in any capacity! Hiking, running, playing tennis.
