Shady Grove Fertility in Solana Beach, Vereinigte Staaten

After waiting 15 years, including 3 years of IVF treatment, I finally held our baby today, and I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Davis. From the beginning, Dr. Davis was incredibly attentive, kind, and thoughtful. She never rushed us, but gave us time to think, prepare, and make the decisions we felt were best. She and her wonderful team supported us through every step of this long and emotional journey. Because of endometriosis and my age, it was difficult for us to obtain a high-quality embryo. But Dr. Davis always went above and beyond to offer different options to help improve egg quality and maximize our chances of success. We ultimately decided to proceed with laparoscopic surgery, and we are very grateful for her careful guidance. Most importantly, we thank Dr. Davis for always believing in us and helping us hold on to that belief. After a long IVF journey, our treatment was finally successful, and our precious son was born. We are overjoyed and sincerely grateful that Dr. Davis supported us throughout this journey. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us become parents. I

We are so grateful to everyone at Shady Grove in Solana Beach. IVF treatment can be stressful, but Dr. Quaas and his entire team were very kind and supportive and always available when we needed them. We highly recommend them!

Wonderful experience with Dr. Quass!

We had a wonderful experience at SGF. Dr. Quaas is knowledgeable, compassionate, and always willing to listen to my input. He supported me in trying a modified natural cycle to achieve the best endometrial thickness for embryo transfer. Nurses Natalie and Michelle were extremely supportive throughout the process. We are incredibly grateful that our first transfer resulted in our daughter. We cannot thank this team enough and highly recommend them to anyone undergoing IVF!

My wife and I had an experience with Dr. Quaas and the entire SGF staff that far exceeded our expectations. They welcomed us warmly and answered our questions whenever we needed them. We had previously consulted another fertility practice and had a terrible experience, so SGF was a breath of fresh air. Our experience was so positive that after our embryo transfer succeeded and we had to return to our regular obstetrician, my wife and I were very sad to leave the care of the SGF team. On our final day at SGF, we cried tears of joy, and we will definitely return to SGF! Our little one is due in two weeks, and we sincerely thank SGF Solana Beach for everything they did for us!

I had a wonderful experience freezing my eggs at Shady Grove Fertility. From the beginning, the entire team made me feel supported, understood, and genuinely cared for—they truly treated me like family. Dr. Quaas was especially outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. He took time to answer all my questions and ensured that I felt comfortable and understood every step. What could have been an overwhelming experience became manageable and even empowering because of his guidance and the staff’s care. I am extremely grateful for the care I received and highly recommend Shady Grove to anyone considering fertility preservation or treatment. They excel in every way.

I had an excellent experience freezing my eggs at Shady Grove Fertility. My family and friends had previously frozen their eggs at two highly regarded clinics in San Diego and Los Angeles, and after hearing their firsthand experiences, I can honestly say that Shady Grove felt completely different and very special. From the beginning, I felt like a person rather than a number. The care was personal, attentive, and consistent. I saw my doctor, Dr. Quaas, at every appointment, which meant a great deal to me. Instead of rotating among different nurses as at other clinics, I received detailed, hands-on care in a smaller, more welcoming office. One of their greatest advantages is the guarantee of freezing 20 eggs, which gave me peace of mind and saved me a substantial amount of money. I have never seen or heard of another clinic in San Diego or Los Angeles offering anything similar. Dr. Quaas is truly outstanding. He is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely follows through on his promises, which is rare among the other clinics I have visited or heard about. The clinic nurse, Michelle, is an angel—kind, supportive, and present throughout the process. Something else made a strong impression on me: when my twin sister froze her eggs at another clinic several years ago, they made her feel “old.” I had just turned 40 when I began freezing my eggs, making me even older than my sister was, but Shady Grove never treated my age as a disadvantage. That respect and encouragement meant so much to me. Overall, I would give this clinic 10 out of 10. I am very grateful for the care I received and highly recommend Shady Grove Fertility to anyone considering this path.

My husband and I just completed treatment with Dr. Quaas at SGF Solana Beach, and our experience was excellent. We drove from Los Angeles to San Diego specifically to see Dr. Quaas and his team, and the two-hour drive each way was absolutely worthwhile. At every visit, Dr. Quaas spent considerable time carefully explaining the treatment process and thoughtfully addressing our questions. Many Los Angeles doctors seemed eager to prescribe more hormones and other supplemental medications and schedule procedures, while Dr. Quaas took a measured approach. His world-class training and experience gave us great confidence. The clinic staff communicated well, were kind, and kept the facility clean. We are extremely grateful to Dr. Quaas and thrilled that our family will soon be complete!

Everything about SGF is exceptional. The facility is new, clean, and modern, with state-of-the-art equipment. Every staff member genuinely cares about you and your treatment journey, and everyone is very kind. They guide you patiently through each step and are always available to answer questions, so you feel prepared and well informed throughout the process. They are highly knowledgeable and stay current with the latest medications, protocols, and approaches, which we greatly appreciate. At every stage with SGF, we felt heard, seen, supported, cared for, and genuinely loved. Dr. Davis and her entire staff are a blessing. We are so fortunate to have found them!

From the beginning, the Shady Grove Fertility team made me feel completely at ease and supported. They always answered every question patiently and thoroughly. I have visited many fertility clinics, and I can confidently say that Shady Grove Fertility has provided the best experience by far. Their care, compassion, and attention to detail truly impressed me. Their genuine concern for every patient and commitment to helping them achieve the best possible outcome made a major difference throughout the process! I highly recommend Shady Grove Fertility!

We will forever be grateful to SGF for the care they gave for us, and their work that resulted in our beautiful boy! Their care for us went above and beyond expectations. They truly made us feel seen and supported every step of the way. Dr. Quaas, Michelle, Nicole, and the wonderfully sweet Brenda and Susan—you all have such a special place in our hearts!!

On graduation day at Shady Grove Fertility, I sat in my car in tears, overwhelmed with emotion. I feel incredibly fortunate to be pregnant with my second child with the help of this amazing team! It took only one natural-cycle IVF attempt to succeed. My first child was conceived at another local clinic, but when they stopped accepting my insurance, I had to switch clinics, which was very upsetting. The moment I met Dr. Davis, however, I knew I had found the right place. She was kind and attentive and genuinely listened to me. The entire process went smoothly from beginning to end. My first cycle at the other clinic was fully medicated and resulted in my son. This time, Dr. Davis recommended a modified natural cycle, which was gentler on my body and worked on the first attempt! Throughout the process, I felt supported, guided, and cared for. They worked with my body's natural rhythm rather than treating me according to a fixed schedule. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Davis and the entire SGF team. The experience was amazing, and I highly recommend them!! 🩷

I struggled with infertility for six years before Shady Grove Solana Beach helped me fulfill my dream of motherhood through its egg donor program. In less than a year, I was holding my baby! The entire process went very smoothly, and they gave me tremendous support and genuine care. I live 75 miles from the clinic, and they thoughtfully arranged for blood draws closer to my home so I did not have to travel a long distance just for laboratory work. Their online platform was also easy to use, and they always responded quickly to my messages. I had previously visited several other fertility clinics, but this one was by far the best. I highly recommend them!

Stay away from Shady Grove! This was my second IVF cycle, and someone recommended a doctor there. Although I liked the doctor and found her knowledgeable, my experience with Shady Grove was a nightmare. They are entirely focused on money and do not care about patients, and their staff lack empathy and compassion. There were so many administrative and logistical errors that I wonder whether they contributed to the IVF failure. They did not tell me until after I completed IVF that I could not use a surrogate without the doctor's approval. Had I known, I would never have chosen them. After the IVF failed, they even charged me storage fees for embryos that did not exist, and obtaining my medical records to see another doctor takes 30 days. IVF is already difficult. Do not make it worse by going to Shady Grove Fertility Solana Beach!

A money-grabbing company. The nurses cannot draw blood, and communication is virtually nonexistent. You cannot really speak with a doctor, only with nurses who do not know how to properly resolve the problems they create. They treat you like a fool even though they do not know what they are doing. I found that they have faced multiple lawsuits, which is no surprise. I am glad we left before the mock cycle, although it took us 6 months to dispute the charges. If I could give this company negative stars instead of zero, I would. Future patients, beware. They treat you wonderfully at first, but once you are locked in, you are in for a hellish roller-coaster ride. Good luck to the next victim.

I cannot say enough good things about Shady Grove Solana Beach and everyone who works there! Moving from a high-volume clinic with little personal care to this small, warm, personable practice was refreshing. It honestly feels like a family, with employees who want to be there. I did not feel like a number, but like someone they genuinely wanted to see succeed. That applies to the entire team. Dr. Quaas is outstanding. He balances optimism and realism perfectly, and I felt safe and cared for in his hands. He explains matters thoroughly, answers questions, and discusses options. His approach is research-driven, which I appreciate, and he shares the evidence about treatment choices and protocols. He has an excellent bedside manner, rare today. His optimism always encouraged me and kept me calm. My nurses, Nicole and Michelle, were equally supportive. They stayed ahead of medication refills, responded attentively to every message—even foolish or panicked ones—and were kind, compassionate, enthusiastic members of my care team. I knew I could rely on them and did not worry that details would be missed as at my previous clinic. Their positivity and kindness at every appointment immediately eased my stress. They are angels! Medical assistant Sharon was also kind, welcoming, and capable. Tangie handled every financial matter promptly and professionally and always answered questions. Finally, Brenda at the front desk always greeted me by name with a smile, which meant a great deal during this stressful process. This practice runs like a well-oiled machine while retaining the warmth of a family. Every employee contributes to Shady Grove's success, and I truly believe they are building something special. I hope they retain these values as they expand because this is a unique place. Now that I am pregnant, graduating is bittersweet (!!!), but they will always hold a special place in my heart for helping me achieve my dream of motherhood. My only regret is not finding them earlier in my IVF journey!

I cannot praise this practice enough. From beginning to end, everyone involved provided excellent care. I felt that my treatment received careful attention and priority, and every question was answered and taken seriously.

Choosing a clinic based on its facilities and technology is very important, but selecting one with a trustworthy doctor who understands and cares for patients' feelings is just as essential. And Dr. Quaas is exactly that kind of person.

My husband and I are very grateful that after I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis, we were referred to Dr. Quaas at Shady Grove. He and his team are wonderful. From the moment we entered, we knew we would receive excellent care. Brenda, Susan, Michelle, and the rest of the team supported us throughout. They were kind, thoughtful, and compassionate. Dr. Quaas patiently explained every detail of our fertility process. Thanks to SGF Solana Beach, we have just welcomed our first baby!
