Vorstellung des Arztes
Dr. Rachel Sprague, Vereinigte Staaten
Rachel Sprague, M.D., erhielt ihren medizinischen Abschluss am University of Florida College of Medicine. Ihr Interesse an der Reproduktionsmedizin begann, als sie von der In-vitro-Fertilisation und den komplexen Vorgängen in der Frühschwangerschaft erfuhr. Während ihrer klinischen Rotationen vertiefte es sich, als sie die besondere Verbindung zwischen Patienten und Ärzten unmittelbar erlebte.
Sie absolvierte ihre Facharztausbildung in Geburtshilfe und Gynäkologie an der University of Alabama at Birmingham, wo sie als Resident Lieutenant tätig war und ein Förderstipendium für herausragende Forschungsleistungen erhielt. Anschließend absolvierte Dr. Sprague ihr Fellowship in reproduktiver Endokrinologie und Infertilität am Morsani College of Medicine der University of South Florida.
Dr. Spragues Engagement für die Forschung zeigt sich in Abstracts zu den Umweltauswirkungen auf die ovarielle Reserve des Menschen, zur Präimplantationsdiagnostik und zur Endometriose. Außerdem verfasste sie ein Buchkapitel über In-vitro-Fertilisation für die zweite Auflage der Encyclopedia of Reproduction. Dr. Sprague ist Mitglied mehrerer Berufsverbände, darunter des American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, der American Medical Association, der American Society for Reproductive Medicine und der Pacific Coast Reproductive Society.
Dr. Sprague betreut Patienten in der SGF-Tampa-Bay-Praxis in St. Petersburg. In ihrer Freizeit erkundet sie gerne die Umgebung, singt und tanzt mit ihrem Ehemann, ihren zwei Kindern und ihrer Bulldogge Hank.

I do not usually leave reviews, but I had to this time. My experience at Shady Grove Fertility was excellent. They made the entire process very simple and straightforward. They guided me step by step without missing any details. Kimberly Feliz is an excellent registered fertility nurse who carefully answered all my questions and responded quickly to all my messages. Amazing! Service like this is hard to find today. My doctor, the staff, and my financial counselor were also outstanding! I am very happy to receive treatment at SGF. Thank you all!

I had a very positive experience at SGF in St. Petersburg. The office is smaller, so everything usually runs smoothly and on time without a wait. The best part is the team, especially Courtney. She is extremely kind, positive, and welcoming. At every follow-up visit—and there were many—she took the time to explain everything in detail and always reassured me that everything was fine. I arrived nervous and left hopeful and positive, entirely because of her.

My husband and I had an excellent experience at Shady Grove. We saw Dr. Sprague, and she and her team made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our fertility journey. They were compassionate, thorough, and always patient with our questions, which brought great comfort to an otherwise overwhelming process. We are very grateful for their care and highly recommend Shady Grove to anyone seeking fertility assistance.

Going through this can be nerve-racking and frightening. Everyone experiences infertility differently, and Shady Grove St. Petersburg made me feel that my unique experience mattered. From the start, the staff validated and addressed all my feelings and concerns. They were welcoming, attentive, and caring. I am especially grateful to Draco and Jacques, who were there every time, and to Catherine, who answered every question my husband and I asked, no matter how silly it seemed. We greatly appreciate Dr. Sprague's expertise throughout the process. This is an excellent clinic, and I highly recommend including them in your fertility journey.

I arrived at this clinic carrying more emotional baggage than an overstuffed suitcase. I had concerns and convictions about IVF and honestly expected to be judged or forced into a standard protocol. That was completely wrong. Over the years, I may have become Dr. Sprague's biggest fan, and I am not easily impressed. She is brilliant and compassionate and worked tirelessly to create the treatment plan that best suited me, even when it required an approach she might never otherwise have devised. After my miscarriage earlier this year, Dr. Sprague cared for me not only medically but as a person. I am sure she checked on me during her commute home. I do not know whether she ever rests, but she is always compassionate.
My nurse manager, Amber, is phenomenal. I never feel rushed on calls with her. She answers every one of my countless questions, talks me through difficult parts of treatment, and genuinely celebrates with me. I joke that I hope to meet her in person one day because, for now, she is the best phone friend I never knew I needed. She embodies the same kindness and thoughtfulness as Dr. Sprague.
Then there is Ann, the financial counselor. Fertility care is expensive, and billing can sometimes be harder to navigate than the hormones. Getting answers from my first counselor was extremely difficult, but Ann is a superstar. She recently resolved numerous billing issues just before the deadline for my next cycle and still cleared everything on time. She answers calls, calls back, and follows through—rare customer service today.
Courtney and Draco also deserve recognition. Courtney performs most of my ultrasounds and feels more like a friend than a technician. She is calming and makes an awkward, stressful process feel completely normal. Draco is a master at blood draws: quick, gentle, and reliable every time.
I may not have had success yet, but I have never felt like a dollar sign here. I feel like a person with a team behind me, whatever happens. If you want a clinic with intelligence, compassion, and humor, choose Dr. Sprague and her team.

The care team was wonderful and took excellent care of me and my infertility concerns. They patiently answered every question. My nurse coordinator, Amber Graham, was outstanding throughout the process, answering calls attentively and addressing every question patiently and respectfully. Cortney White, APRN, explained everything clearly during my scans and guided me through these weeks of pregnancy. Dr. Sprague and her team are excellent, and I highly recommend them.

From the beginning, Dr. Sprague was welcoming and genuinely considerate. She makes you feel valued and cared for at every stage of treatment. My coordinator Katherine was wonderful; she was organized and helpful and made the entire process easy to navigate.
The team is exceptional. Draco is outstanding at drawing blood and makes the process as comfortable as possible. Jacque at the front desk greets you warmly with a smile from the moment you enter.
Overall, they provided not only exceptional care but also empathy and understanding that made the treatment experience different. I cannot praise this team enough and would recommend them to everyone!

Although this is a very emotional process, they always explained everything with compassion and positivity. We are sincerely grateful for all they did for us.
Special thanks to the St. Petersburg clinic staff, whose professionalism and compassion exceeded all expectations. Thank you so much to Draco, Courtney, Jacque, and of course Dr. Sprague. These people are real-life superheroes!

At the beginning of treatment, I was assigned a financial counselor whom I did not like. I later switched to Ann McKnight, and she was wonderful!! She gave me tremendous help, as did Cortney White. She is truly an angel!! I was excited every time I saw her. She always answered my questions with warmth. The two of them made this difficult IVF process easier.

Katherine is approachable, helpful, encouraging, and always available to answer our questions—even when she does not know the answer herself, she does her best to find it. Dr. Sprague is kind, optimistic yet realistic, thorough, and knowledgeable. Our financial counselor, Ann, has also been an invaluable resource with many helpful insights. I look forward to continuing our family-building journey with SGF and its wonderful team.

I have been coming to this clinic for several months after a referral from Women's Care. Katherine and Dr. Sprague are both wonderful! The past few months have brought a lot of anxiety and challenges for my boyfriend and me. Everyone I have met in St. Petersburg and Tampa has been reassuring, helpful, and caring, making everything much easier when we need support most. Katherine truly cares about my situation and goes above and beyond to help me, which I love! I met with Dr. Sprague last week to discuss treatment options, and everyone in the office and on the team was very supportive. Thank you, SGF, for making me feel so supported and cared for throughout treatment!

Dr. Sprague and her team are outstanding and a pleasure to work with. Dr. Sprague takes the time to listen carefully and makes you feel like a person rather than a number. Our patient care coordinator, Katherine, is warm, responsive, and excellent at following up. It is invaluable to have someone who understands your case and can continue the conversation seamlessly. Ann, the financial coordinator, is especially professional and helps simplify the often complicated insurance process, greatly improving the overall experience. I am very grateful to the entire team.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Sprague and her team, especially my wonderful nurse Raven. I firmly believe Dr. Sprague is the best. She is brilliant, kind, experienced, and compassionate, and she and Raven make an exceptional team. I felt completely safe in their care. What stands out most was a surprise visit from Dr. Sprague during a routine follicle check before retrieval. She immediately put me at ease and patiently answered every question. I had been worried that she might not be there for the retrieval, but she assured me I would receive excellent care regardless of who performed it. She was absolutely right 🥹. I could not have found a better doctor. Her team is truly outstanding. My very selective husband and I researched extensively before choosing Shady Grove, and we chose it because of Dr. Sprague. We have no regrets. Dr. Sprague made our dream possible. She is brilliant and knows her work inside and out! As I prepare for my first transfer, I feel reassured knowing she is directing my care. Raven is also amazing; she patiently takes all my anxious calls and listens to my concerns. She is a treasure, and hearing her calm voice stop me from overthinking is always comforting 😆 We now have seven beautiful embryos and feel incredibly fortunate to have reached this point. Thank you, thank you!!!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Shady Grove Fertility and cannot say enough good things about the entire team.
From the beginning, Dr. Sprague took the time to develop our treatment plan carefully and stayed in close communication throughout the process. We always felt informed, supported, and genuinely cared for.
The staff at both the St. Petersburg and Tampa locations were outstanding, but the St. Petersburg office—our home clinic—holds a special place in our hearts. We were always greeted with smiles from the moment we walked in. I do not like needles and had to have several injections, but Draco always made my wife and me laugh and helped ease the stress.
Special thanks to our fertility nurse coordinator, Amber Graham. Through every high and low, she remained patient, kind, and incredibly supportive. Her communication and care meant so much to us.
This team truly does an exceptional job. Although we are sad to leave, we are thrilled to have graduated and to be expecting our first baby.
We wholeheartedly recommend Shady Grove Fertility to any individual or couple hoping to build a family.
Thank you for everything you have done. You changed our lives. We will definitely return for baby number 2! :)

She understood my needs and tried to accommodate my request for a modified natural cycle. Together with my nurse Katie, she ensured I understood every step and felt as comfortable as possible.
Katie and financial counselor Annie were very supportive, answered all my questions, and kept me on schedule for egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and every step between.
Draco made blood draws relaxing and was always friendly and easy to talk to.

Overall, we had a truly wonderful experience with everyone at the St. Pete and Tampa offices.
Dr. Sprague was wonderful to work with.
We absolutely love our nurse, Cortney. She always provided clear explanations and answered our questions with kindness and empathy throughout the roller coaster of IVF.
Draco is incredibly skilled at drawing blood without causing any pain, and you have a LOT of blood drawn.
I took off one star because the central billing department was not helpful at all. I received an unexpected bill after graduating from the clinic and called to ask what it was for, but they told me I did not owe anything. Then, a few months later, I received a different bill for my final transfer that had never been submitted to my insurance. I called central billing several times, and they only said they would look into it, with no further details, while I continued receiving bills for months.
Nelida, our original financial coordinator, was a rock star and got this resolved for us.

My husband and I recently visited this clinic for what we expected to be a routine initial consultation. Unfortunately, our experience left us concerned about transparency and patient communication.
During our appointment, neither the physician nor the consultant clearly explained the examinations, testing process, or overall treatment timeline. We were shown a picture on one slide, our insurance coverage was briefly reviewed, and we were given information about supplements. However, when we asked for more details about what to expect, we were repeatedly directed to the patient portal rather than receiving explanations during the appointment.
In particular, when I asked the consultant to walk us through the timeline and procedures, the response was essentially to “check the portal.” At one point, I was even asked whether I had already asked the doctor. This felt dismissive and did not inspire confidence that our questions were being taken seriously.
Patients who value clear communication, transparency about their care, and a more traditional bedside manner may want to consider other clinics. While this approach may work for some patients, we left feeling that important information should have been discussed directly rather than requiring us to search for answers afterward.

If you are a woman over 40, I do not recommend Dr. Celso Silva. Both of our IVF egg retrievals with him failed, and aside from the results, his treatment plans and feedback were generic at best. Since changing clinics, we have learned about various techniques and adjunct medications that might have improved our past outcomes and hopefully will help in the future. It is far too expensive to feel that your doctor does not have your best interests at heart. We were also denied a female doctor at the clinic after feeling that Dr. Silva might not be the right fit for us. The front desk and nursing staff were excellent.

I still have a long journey ahead, but so far it has been a pleasure working with Dr. Silva and my patient care coordinator, Raffaella.
Raffaella makes sure to stay in touch, informs me of upcoming appointments, and lets me know as soon as results and next steps are available.
I am glad I switched to Shady Grove because at my previous clinic I always had to call for updates, and they were consistently slow to respond.

Part#2 We
were planning on going to a completely different office, which was an hour away (St. Pete or
Wesley Chapel) with different people/ same company. But the doctor of the office that we

be unable to see anyone at their practice ever again. I took a deep breath and sighed, while I
was on the phone with Dr. Klokker. I explained to him and reminded him of the incident day
(transfer day), very vividly in detail of what took place. I explained to him how my embryologist
initially failed me by not following their own protocols. How the original plan was altered and
sent me on an emotional roller coaster with tons of questions that were never answered by staff
or him. How the embryologist failed to show me how she was able to thaw an embryo in 30
minutes after she told me it was impossible and then had the audacity to be upset with me,
because I made a review. I explained to him (Dr. Plosker) that his office has many counterparts
and that working together is essential. This is the way I addressed his insinuation of me being a
liar. I thought to myself he wasn’t even in the procedure room or in the office that day. I was his
patient with a concern. He never followed up or addressed my concerns, but only called me a
liar. Heartbreaking. Now we are being punished and not allowed to go to any office anywhere
with Shady Grove Fertility. He worked together with their offices to silence my voice, my
questions and concerns as though it never happened.
Today, for us, there is no accountability at Shady Grove. They may not hear your complaints,
depending on what they are. If any problems arise, it just might be swept under the rug. If any
mistakes are made, they might be covered up. If you complain, you might become the villain. I
pray that whoever goes to this company is aware of the Brandon office. It’s sad we had to find
this out the hard way in our journey. Blessings and baby dust to all trying to conceive. This is already a hard journey. Praying and wishing all the best.

Words cannot express how positive my experience was working with Ann, a financial counselor at Shady Grove. Managing the financial aspects of fertility treatment can feel overwhelming and stressful, but from the beginning she made the entire process clear and manageable.
Ann took the time to explain every detail and patiently answered all my questions, no matter how minor. It was clear that she genuinely cared and wanted to ease my financial burden as much as possible during an emotionally difficult time. Her compassion meant so much to me. I am very grateful to her!

Special thanks to Nelida Rolon, whose guidance, empathy, and professionalism were invaluable. She was always available, very kind, and made the entire process clear and easy to understand. Her warmth and dedication reassured us during uncertain moments and made us feel like more than patients—we felt like people she genuinely cared about.
We are deeply grateful for her attentive care, attention to detail, and emotional support. This experience filled us with hope and confidence as we took another step toward growing our family.
Thank you, Shady Grove, and thank you, Nelida—you have made a profound difference in our lives.

Our experience at Shady Grove Fertility was outstanding, and I highly recommend them. A fertility journey is never easy—it is emotional, challenging, and often overwhelming. At every step, SGF made us feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for.
We were fortunate to work with Dr. Silva and Nurse Sam, and I cannot say enough good things about either of them. Dr. Silva's expertise gave us confidence and reassurance at every stage. All his recommendations were grounded in research and years of experience. Nurse Sam was equally exceptional—warm, encouraging, and always willing to explain each step clearly, answer our questions thoroughly, and genuinely listen to our concerns.
Beyond the excellent care from Dr. Silva and Sam, we were impressed by how smoothly the entire organization operates. Scheduling is organized, communication is seamless, and you always feel the team is working together for you.
We are delighted to share that we recently welcomed a healthy baby boy, a joy made possible in large part by Shady Grove Fertility's excellent team. Words cannot fully express our gratitude to Dr. Silva, Sam, and the SGF team. Thank you!

I began my IVF journey in 2001. Although my previous fertility clinic experience was fairly good, coming to Shady Grove felt like a complete turnaround. From the moment you enter, you receive a warm welcome. Ana, Kayla, and Alta at the front desk are always friendly and happy to answer questions.
The phlebotomy team is excellent. Denelle's positivity, efficiency, and warm smile brighten the process. The ultrasound technician was equally wonderful—I have forgotten whether her name was Lindsey or Leslie—and made every visit smooth and reassuring.
The doctors are compassionate and attentive, and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Silva. He was wonderful throughout and made me feel carefully supported at every step. My IVF nurse, Samantha, was also a lifesaver, and her ongoing communication and support benefited me tremendously.
Although my previous clinic experience was acceptable, starting again at Shady Grove brought me the comfort and calm I needed. If you are considering beginning IVF or simply want a fresh start, this clinic will not disappoint. The entire team goes above and beyond to make a difficult process feel hopeful, and I am grateful to be in their care.

I find joy walking through those double doors to see Ana, Alta, and Kayla! They are the best front desk receptionist hands down. They should get a raise! No seriously like a rause or some recognition They always are smiling and joyful and easy to communicate with. I wish they had twins that worked at other facilities that would be amazing to have them at all my appointments.
I also love how courteous the MA team is Ingrid , kat, Terri, Auri and Dennelle and others are quick and painless they should all get a raise too!
They really know me especially Terri and Ingrid my likes and dislikes.and that speaks volumes
My sonographer Leslie is smart knowledgeable and has a smile to light any room .she's definitely the best
I love my Dr. doctor silva he's kind he wants to make sure this transfer is successfully completed and we go all the way to having a successful transfer and live birth. I love Samantha too she is the best hands Down and truly understands me ! My care team is family to me it love them all

It took me a long time to write this review because I needed time to reflect on how poorly this clinic managed my care. I contacted Dr. Sprague in March 2024 for an April consultation. A week before the appointment, the office called to reschedule and said, ‘We are not sure how you were booked that day, but it is not a day we see patients.’ My appointment was moved to May. The doctor was kind, I brought all my gynecologic test results, we discussed a plan, and testing/procedures began the next month.
Before I reached the nursing team, Ashley, whom I recall was a secretary, handled my scheduling. Every month brought miscommunication or errors. When I called to arrange the next step, Ashley said some labs were missing. I explained that the office had drawn a great deal of blood and that Shady Grove had ordered the tests, but she said their office did not perform the xyz tests. Every month, either my husband or I was missing a step that clear communication and correct instructions could easily have prevented.
By October, everything was finally ready to begin IUI. They had ordered and shipped my medication. When it was time to proceed, I called again and learned that my thyroid labs, despite my being on medication, had not been rechecked since May. We spent November, December, and January managing my thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) instead of continuing treatment. I was furious; the level of care was nonexistent.
In your 30s, time is critical. This clinic wasted 10 valuable months mishandling medical orders. I do not know whether Ashley was incompetent or the whole system failed, but this team did not make an already stressful process easier. After two failed IUIs, we received no explanation and were told to try two more—as uninsured patients.
I discussed the laboratory errors, major delays, and my frustration with the care team. They showed no compassion, making it seem routine.
I hope the clinic changes how it operates and cares for patients. We switched providers and are doing much better. People living through infertility deserve better than being treated as a number, especially at such high cost. Our experience was troubled from the start and ended with no progress, no real answers, and more than 10 precious months wasted.

Dr. Plosker is wonderful! He is calm, knowledgeable, and approachable. He patiently guided me through the entire process, helping me feel confident and secure in my decisions. His nurse Nicole was equally outstanding. She patiently answered all my questions and responded quickly, making an otherwise overwhelming process much easier.
On procedure day, I was surrounded by an excellent team who made me feel completely at ease. Many thanks to Katie (preoperative/postoperative), John (anesthesiologist), Olivia (operating room), Melissa (operating room), Chrissy (supervisor), and Ana (secretary). Everyone was professional, attentive, and positive, creating a very encouraging atmosphere. Dr. Sarkar was also outstanding during the procedure, and I felt very safe in her care.

In the end, we found out why it's called "Shady" grove!. I give it two stars only because they have some great support staff, however, overall the feeling we ended up with was we were a number and we needed to fit into their program and protocols, we were never looked at as an individual case. When we started asking a lot of questions agree some attempts, we got the cold shoulder. Asked to switch doctors and get a 2nd opinion in their office. They had 2 very different approaches and didn't agree with things that were being done. When we decided to switch somewhere else, they gave us an unbelievably hard time receiving our records and eventually tried everything to block our embryo storage move. We were successful on 1st attempt elsewhere, with not as an aggressive protocol. Additionally, pay very close attention to their billing, they continually overcharged, even when asking for a review. Almost a year after leaving, we received back about 5k in overcharged. SHADY Grove

Dr. Silva is exceptional. He is highly skilled and kind, with the rare ability to balance honesty and encouragement perfectly. He makes you feel heard, cared for, and confident in your treatment. Dr. Plosker successfully performed our embryo transfer and made this meaningful, emotional moment calm and reassuring while giving my husband and me tremendous support.

Dr. Torrealday is the best doctor I have ever worked with! My oncologist referred me to SGF because I needed chemotherapy and wanted to try freezing my eggs beforehand due to the possible loss of fertility. The clinic staff were incredibly thoughtful. They scheduled me for the next morning, and everyone worked late that day to set up my account and prepare me to begin injections the following day. I needed retrieval quickly, so Dr. Torrealday used a random-start protocol that does not depend on the menstrual cycle and takes only 10–14 days. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire clinic went above and beyond. Every department worked tirelessly to help me, calling repeatedly, dealing with insurance, ordering medication, and more. I have never encountered a medical team as caring and dedicated as Shady Grove. Dr. Torrealday is a treasure in medicine. She is the kindest and most thoughtful doctor, and words cannot express my gratitude. She personally called almost every day to check on me, which I had never experienced. One Saturday, a nurse called with an update that worried me. Dr. Torrealday then called me from her personal phone on her evening off, even though she was not on call, to check on me, explain everything, and reassure me. I never imagined a doctor would offer this level of care or call on a day off simply because she heard I was upset. Anyone who comes here will have an excellent experience. They are truly thoughtful and care deeply about patients. I would give them a hundred stars if I could. Dr. Torrealday can change your life for the better. She retrieved far more eggs than I expected, accurately adjusted my medication dose each day, and timed the retrieval perfectly. I could not be happier. Thank you, Dr. Torrealday and team!

When you are going through such a difficult time, you want a clinic that will support you through it. The team at the Tampa West Coast clinic does exactly that! Dr. Silva is wonderful, and my nurse Samantha is amazing. She always takes the time to explain every step patiently and answer all my questions. I do not know what I would do without her. Everyone I see at the clinic each day is always so friendly and cheerful. This can be a sad and difficult experience, but seeing the team smiling, laughing, and enjoying their work shows in the care they give us. My heartfelt thanks to Leslie, Kate, the front desk staff, the phlebotomists, and the entire clinic team for helping me through each day! 💕

If negative online reviews have made you anxious about an hysterosalpingogram (HSG), please read my review. I felt the same way and was so anxious that I was afraid to go to the clinic, but my experience at SGF today was excellent.
I do not want to dismiss anyone else's experience, because every person and situation is different. Still, when you see many negative reviews, it is important to hear a positive one too.
My team was wonderful. They explained and guided me through each step and continually asked whether I had questions. After the speculum and catheter were inserted and the fluid was injected, I did not even realize the procedure had begun.
I felt only mild cramping, and the whole process was honestly very easy. My saline ultrasound and follicle count were equally easy—thank you, Leslie! I had no blockage, which may be one reason my discomfort was minimal. Overall, I felt fully cared for and supported throughout.
Special thanks to Diana, Quiara, and Cortney! You made me feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed!

I am here solely to sincerely thank your phlebotomist, Danielle. She is absolutely outstanding. Not only is she highly skilled in her profession, but she is also incredibly kind, leaving a deep impression on me. First, due to scar tissue, the main vein in my right arm is very painful for venipuncture, but she successfully found an alternative vein in the same arm, getting it right on the first try without any pain or complications. Later that week, she again successfully located a vein in my left arm, again without any complications or pain (no one has been able to do that since I was in ninth grade). She gave me a lot of advice, and I feel truly honored to be her patient during such a sensitive time. She is a valuable asset to your clinic, and we sincerely wish her all the best! God bless you, Danielle! Thank you.

We give her five stars, but she deserves even more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a saline infusion sonohysterogram today, and the entire team at Shady Grove was amazing!! I went to another fertility clinic a few years ago, and that experience was absolutely terrible! The hysterosalpingogram in particular was painful and uncomfortable! Because of that previous experience, I was very nervous about today's saline infusion sonohysterogram, but Dr. Matry K and Adena immediately put me at ease! They listened carefully to my concerns and reassured me throughout the process. They explained every step one by one and kept communicating with me the whole time! The entire procedure was not painful at all, and I am so grateful! I have been impressed with Shady Grove since my very first visit. Everyone explains what they are doing and why before they start, which is very rare in the medical field! Thank you, Shady Grove!

Their care for patients' health is evident. I am very satisfied with the treatment I received and will definitely recommend them. They are a wonderful group of people and an outstanding team! Thank you so much for everything you have done.

Hello, I am sorry to do this, but I really do not recommend this clinic.
I originally booked a consultation for October 2024 to get some information. The doctor ended up being 4-5 minutes late, and since I had woken up early for a 7 AM appointment, I reluctantly left. After that, I completely forgot about the clinic until recently. I thought that since it is now 2026, maybe it was just a one-time incident, so I decided to give them another chance and went to the clinic in person to make another appointment. They said it was no problem and arranged it for me. Then, a few days later, around 4 PM, I had neither received a confirmation email for the appointment nor any reminders. I checked the online application, and there was nothing there either. The woman on the phone even said she would send an email for me to fill out new insurance information, so I started to get a bit worried and sent them an email—but got no response, so I left a voicemail as well. A few days later, I received a call saying the doctor had to cancel the appointment due to an emergency, and I could do a telehealth appointment on Sunday at 9 AM. I thought, okay, why not? It was 4 days earlier than my original appointment, and maybe their system had been updated. However, up until the day of the appointment, I still had no reminders, and only received a login notification on the day itself—now, let me talk about the actual appointment. The doctor was very cold, did not provide me with all the information I wanted, and seemed eager to end the call quickly. On top of that, he said he would send me some information about sperm banks and arrange some lab tests, etc. To this day, I still have not received any emails, texts, or calls from them, nor has anyone explained what happened. As a result, my bank sent me a bill for $150, and nothing else. I have been waiting for any communication from them, but there has been nothing, and I am very disappointed with their service.

We have been working with Dr. Sprague for about a year and a half, and I cannot express how grateful we are for her care, compassion, and knowledge. From day one, she made us feel comfortable during one of our most vulnerable journeys. We encountered quite a few setbacks because of my health, and not once did she let us fall through the cracks. One example speaks volumes about what an incredible doctor and person she is: our first transfer failed, and she called us at 7pm that evening to say how sorry she was and arrange a call to discuss our plan. A month later, she was the one who called to tell us we were officially pregnant! We cannot express what a wonderful experience it has been working with Dr. Sprague. She will always have a place in our hearts.

After trying to conceive for three years, we began our IVF journey, filled with fear and uncertainty. My husband spent a month researching the best doctors. We chose Dr. Sprague without hesitation and traveled from North Tampa to St. Petersburg specifically to see her. We firmly believe she is the best doctor, and I highly recommend her. Dr. Sprague is highly skilled and knowledgeable. She is also approachable, kind, thoughtful, responsive, helpful, and much more. Our egg retrieval and transfer went very smoothly. Working with Dr. Sprague and her team was an excellent experience. Our first transfer was successful, and we look forward to returning to use our remaining embryos. Choosing Dr. Sprague means choosing the best. I would cross oceans for her! She helped us obtain 20 high-quality mature eggs; 15 fertilized, and 7 developed into blastocysts. Our first transfer was successful, and our baby is due in November 2026. Thank you so much, Dr. Sprague, for making our dream come true.

Dr. Sprague explained everything patiently and thoroughly, in a way even an IVF newcomer like me could understand. She was incredibly considerate and very accommodating of my request for a modified natural cycle. She made sure I understood every step and felt as comfortable and reassured as possible.
My husband and I were referred to Dr. Sprague after recurrent miscarriages. We completed one IVF cycle with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A), and I am now 16 and a half weeks pregnant! I will always be grateful to Dr. Sprague and the team at SGF-St Pete!

Words cannot describe our wonderful experience with Dr. Sprague. She is kind, thoughtful, and clear in her explanations. We always felt supported and fully informed about each step. I especially appreciated her suggestion to use a natural approach with less medication for my second attempt. It succeeded, and I am now 10 weeks pregnant. Throughout the process, speaking with her felt like confiding in a close friend, which made everything easier, even during difficult moments. I recommend Dr. Sprague without reservation. Thanks to her and her excellent team, the process went so smoothly. Forever grateful!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Sprague is. Before going to Shady Grove, we had seen two fertility doctors. The other two made us feel like children, did not speak to us like people, and treated us more like numbers. When we met Dr. Sprague, we saw no red flags and were delighted to finally have a female fertility doctor—although I have heard great things about some of the male doctors at the practice, and one of them performed my egg retrieval and was wonderful!
Dr. Sprague called me after every procedure—not the next day or several days later, but within hours each time. I had never had a doctor call me after a procedure; usually it was the nursing staff, who also called to check on me and summarize Dr. Sprague's instructions for next steps.
I have never felt more comfortable being honest with or trusting a doctor than I did with Dr. Sprague.
My husband and I are currently expecting our IVF baby, and we have 4 frozen embryos awaiting transfer by Dr. Sprague. I am extremely grateful to her and her staff for making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible!

My wife and I finally found Dr. Sprague after two years of infertility treatment, 8 intrauterine inseminations, and two IVF cycles. She was receptive to our new ideas and offered ideas of her own. She carefully reviewed our records and personally called after each cycle to decide on the next treatment plan. She is kind and genuinely cared about us during the difficult process of IVF and infertility treatment. With our second embryo transfer, she was fortunate enough to give us our rainbow baby. If we want another child, we will definitely return to her.
