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

I was fortunate to complete my elective rotation in reproductive medicine during PA school. While at Salus, I completed a master’s thesis on PCOS patients with ovulation induction medications. I love that this field is always growing and evolving with new technology. I feel passionate about working with patients as they navigate the specific challenges that come along the fertility journey. I strive to be supportive knowledgeable and kind to all our patients. We have the unique privilege to help build families. It is a great honor to work in this field.

I love to spend time with my family but some of my other hobbies include travel, baking, and playing with my furry mini-bernedoodle Rory.

I climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia!
