Patient Testimonial
After our first appointment with Dr. Kallen we knew that he would be the right doctor for us based off of the knowledge, honesty and compassion he showed. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Kallen and his team!

I have been to 5 fertility clinics and seen 6 fertility doctors. Dr. Bressler and Shady Grove was hands down my best experience…by a landslide. Dr. B made me feel like an important individual. I can’t say enough good things about this practice and about Dr B.

At no point in time did I feel hopeless and was always comforted by next steps and kind words. But Dr. Mitchell truly is extra. I felt like her only patient. I can’t speak enough to her kindness. It is my firm belief that she 100000X capable of leading someone to pregnancy success.

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. Davis is the sweetest doctor and Dee is so wonderful I couldn’t imagine going through this journey with any other clinic. Thank you guys so much for everything. If you thinking about doing IVF this clinic is beyond everything you need for your fertility journey.

Dr. Lersten is so kind and explains procedures calmly, which helps relieve anxiety while going through the difficult process of fertility treatments. I am thankful to SGF for helping me build the family I’ve always wanted. I highly recommend SGF to anyone going through infertility.

Q&A

What I love about my job at SGF is that I get to focus on endocrinology and hormones, while also educating and empowering patients about how their bodies function, teaching what we’re looking for when we’re doing tests, why we’re using certain medications, and what’s happening in their bodies. In addition to this, there is a huge psychological component to our work. By the time people walk into our office, they’ve likely already been on an emotional roller coaster, no matter how long their fertility experience has been. It’s important to me to support our patients and their partners in the best way I can as they make their way through their journey with us, and that’s a different approach for each person. 

I love to garden and have quite a few plants in my office at work. I like to sew and knit, but over the years, these hobbies have turned into more of a textile collection and less of an active hobby. I need to develop a closet cleaning hobby! 
 

I happen to have two incredible moms, so I have experienced firsthand that there are many ways that people create families.
