My experience with this facility was terrible. I began this journey with Dr. Guy at their office on March 10, 2025, and completed several tests. I requested follow-up but never received it. Their response time was awful, particularly Melissa, I believe her name was. When I realized they were not taking me seriously, I requested that my records be transferred elsewhere. Time is critical for me. No one ever called to discuss my results. To date, I have had to use ChatGPT to understand them. I am deeply disappointed with this practice. If this is how they treat women in similar situations, they do not deserve their patients. Their name fits—they are very shady.

I had the best experience at Shady Grove! Dr. Guy, Nurse Katie, and all the women at this location provided the best care I have ever received. They communicated exceptionally well, and appointments were efficient and thorough. The staff were organized and cheerful. I have since met three other families who chose Shady Grove for fertility treatment, and we all agree that we highly recommend them. I am very grateful to SGA for successful treatment and our journey to a healthy, happy IVF baby. I cannot wait to return!

Audreaka was very thorough and helpful with scheduling and follow-up information. Regardless of how busy or complex our process was, she remained attentive and pleasant. I truly appreciate her!

I can’t say enough about Shady Grove Alpharetta! They have helped my husband and I start our family and they walk us through every step. I consider them family at this point because they have encouraged, supported and just aided us through this crazy journey. Thankful and blessed for their services. I’d recommend them to anyone. UPDATE: We welcomed our beautiful baby girl on 12/10/24. We have been wanting a child for two years and they made our dreams come true. We owe you all so much.

We cannot praise Dr. Guy and his staff enough! After disliking our initial consultation at another clinic, we transferred here. I was nervous because I truly wanted a doctor and facility that made me comfortable. Dr. Guy and the staff were always attentive and welcoming and took time to answer every question or concern. Portal responses were very fast. Appointments were quick and easy to fit around work because early options were available. Dr. Guy discussed our results and the advantages and disadvantages of every fertility treatment. We never felt rushed into IVF and ultimately became pregnant at the clinic using a less invasive treatment! After more than two years of trying, we are extremely grateful to Shady Grove Fertility. We cannot wait to welcome our baby in September! If you are considering fertility treatment, I highly recommend SGF!

A life-changing experience at Shady Grove Fertility. I am delighted to share that I finally became pregnant after IVF treatment at Shady Grove Fertility. Although it took three IVF cycles, I benefited greatly from the entire team's attentive care and support. From the nurses to the laboratory staff, everyone was kind, professional, and encouraging throughout. Dr. Gay and the team always answered my questions patiently and guided me through the entire process with compassion. If you are on this journey, do not lose hope. Sometimes it takes time, but with the right team, anything is possible. I am very grateful to SGF for helping me realize this dream. Thank you for bringing hope—and now life—into my world.

Genita M. at the front desk always lifts my mood and puts a smile on my face whenever I check in.

My pre-op nurses Taneka and Janice were wonderful. Nurse Alvanetta's comfort and encouragement greatly reassured me. I am very grateful to them!

I spent years seeking answers but made no progress at Shady Grove. It turned out that my so-called ‘unexplained infertility’ was actually undiagnosed stage II endometriosis. The staff were friendly, but if you truly want to understand what is happening in your body, I suggest looking elsewhere. Fortunately, I found a NaPro specialist who finally answered my longstanding questions.

I am reluctant to write this review but hope it helps others. I truly tried to give the clinic a chance, but Dr. Guy only cared whether I wanted IVF. If I did not, he showed no interest. During three years of breast cancer treatment I met many excellent doctors, and after chemotherapy I wanted another child. He was pleasant, but focused only on IVF and, despite our repeated refusal, on collecting my husband's bodily fluid and blood. We were very unhappy. Explaining ourselves repeatedly was exhausting, and he was pushy. High staff turnover is another problem. They do not review the chart, so you must repeat everything again and again. The clinic is frequently confused. Again, I sincerely tried to give the clinic a chance, but something always felt wrong. I genuinely hope they improve, because it is a shame.

The staff are wonderful, caring, and attentive. Although all testing and examinations take place at the Sandy Springs office, it is nearby and very convenient. There is ample parking, and every visit has been pleasant.
Mar 20, 2026
Dr. Guy was highly knowledgeable and supportive throughout treatment. Before we began, he took time to get to know my husband and me. His kind manner and years of experience helped us navigate the uncertainty of unexplained infertility. Every staff member we met at Shady Grove was professional and compassionate. We welcomed our baby this January. I would recommend Dr. Guy to family and friends experiencing infertility.

My husband and I have had an amazing experience with Shady Grove Alpharetta. We started our journey in August of 2024 and I am truly so thankful we found this facility and they supported me throughout all the ups and downs of IUI and IVF. Obviously it’s a scary situation, IVF is not how you dream of building your family, nor is a fertility clinic the place you dream of becoming a “regular” at, but I felt so seen and heard by Dr. Gay and his entire staff. The journey was very long, and infertility does require quite a bit of self advocacy, but I always felt like my questions were answered and my concerns were addressed. Nurse Kyleigh is truly the kindest soul, and she is always there and reachable for questions and worries. You can tell everyone here really cares for you and wants to see your success. I never had any issues with billing, insurance, or administration which is a huge relief as this process could’ve easily been made harder by those factors. You will be in the best hands with Dr. Gay and Kyleigh!

Five stars are not enough to express my gratitude to Dr. Gay and the entire SGF team. From our first consultation at the front desk through discharge and ultimately graduation to obstetric care, they consistently provided exceptional support, kindness, and detailed answers. They felt like more than our medical team; they were our strongest supporters. Our nurse Kyleigh was also outstanding: knowledgeable, warm, compassionate, and an ideal example of excellent nursing. My husband and I never imagined it would be so difficult to leave a clinic, but their exceptional medical care and genuine concern for patients made graduation incredibly emotional. I am deeply grateful and wish I could fully express my appreciation. SGF gave us so much, and we will always be grateful that they are part of our story. 🩷

My experience at Shady Grove Fertility was extremely disappointing. Fertility treatment requires a high degree of administrative accuracy and empathy, yet we faced unnecessary stress at every turn. The problems began immediately: my husband's and my patient portal accounts were completely switched. Correcting this simple administrative error took far too long, and we had to redo everything manually. Later, when I proactively asked whether certain laboratory tests could be added to improve the diagnostic process, the patient care coordinator repeatedly refused outright without any collaborative discussion. Everything fell apart during our first laboratory appointments. My husband's morning appointment went smoothly, but my appointment at 1:15 p.m. was unacceptable. After arranging coverage for my own patients, I used my lunch break for the 1:15 p.m. appointment. I arrived 15 minutes early and waited quietly for more than 40 minutes, only to be told by the front desk, “It will be a little longer.” When I explained that I also had patients waiting, the staff merely offered to reschedule me. Even worse, the patient care coordinator tried to “defuse” the situation by saying, “You work in healthcare, so you should understand.” This is an important learning opportunity for your team. It is precisely because I work in healthcare that I know this behavior is unacceptable. A medical background does not excuse a clinic for disrespecting a patient's time. On the contrary, it highlights how easily communication and empathy could have addressed the delay. People experiencing infertility carry an enormous emotional burden. We expected care that reflected this reality, but instead we felt ignored.

Dr. Katler and EVERYONE at SGF are amazing!! Everyone is thorough, knowledgeable, incredible kind, and supportive. I came in with a dream and walked out with an 8 week ultrasound -couldn't be more grateful.
Jun 22, 2025
Dr. Katler and Racheal were wonderful! They answered every question and kept us comfortable and informed throughout. We are very grateful for their work and attentive care.
Jun 12, 2025
Dr. Katler and our RN coordinator Racheal Huff made our SGF experience easy, straightforward, and stress-free. They always communicated compassionately, were attentive, and responded quickly.
Jun 11, 2025
Racheal was patient with all my questions and always ready and willing to help. She made our journey much easier, and I am very grateful to her!
Jun 6, 2025
Dr. Katler and his team are absolutely amazing! Our fertility journey has been a roller coaster, but they have always been patient and helpful. We had a procedure today, and the two registered nurses who helped us were angels! If you are going through a fertility journey, I highly recommend this team. We will always be grateful to you ❤️
Jul 18, 2025
Dr. Libby was amazing throughout our fertility journey- kind, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. We always felt heard and cared for. The lab technicians and ultrasound techs (Buckhead and Northside) were just as wonderful- so warm, professional, and reassuring. We’re truly grateful for the whole team and everything they did to help us grow our family. Highly recommend!
Jul 16, 2025
Dr. Katler and nurse Racheal were amazing! They were very kind and understanding and always explained the reasons behind my progress. I currently have leukemia, so we did not know what the outcome would be, but they always encouraged me and cared about my condition. Given my circumstances, we achieved an excellent result. I am so glad I chose SGF, and especially glad to have been treated by Dr. Katler and Racheal!

From the start of our journey, the entire team at Shady Grove Fertility in Atlanta demonstrated exceptional quality. Dr. Brahma and nurse practitioner Mary Claire provided not only expert medical care, but also confidence and hope, which were essential during such a personal treatment process. Their warmth and professionalism set the tone for our entire experience. Our nurses Taylor and Abbie were consistently kind, attentive, and responsive, always available to answer questions, reassure us, and guide us through each step. Our technician Christine brought a calm and uplifting energy to every appointment, making even the most stressful moments easier. Special thanks to our phlebotomist Sharon, one of the kindest and most skilled professionals I have met. Her gentle approach and unmatched expertise made blood draws effortless, which is no small feat. This team perfectly combines compassion with clinical excellence. We are endlessly grateful for their care, commitment, and the way they treated us throughout our fertility journey.
Jul 10, 2025
Dr. Katler was wonderful and gave us attentive care throughout the IVF process. He provided personalized care, and his team communicated clearly and smoothly. Appointments at the Sandy Springs clinic never involved long waits, and driving there and parking were convenient.
Jul 8, 2025
I had a wonderful experience at Shady Grove Fertility Lake Hearn! The staff were caring, kind, professional, helpful, and responsive. The clinic was clean and comfortable. My doctor, Dr. Quinton Katler, was amazing!! He was very caring, responsive, and an excellent communicator. He never made us feel rushed or overlooked and always answered all our questions in as much detail as possible. The SGF staff and Dr. Katler responded very promptly through the patient portal, which was extremely useful and convenient. We are now expecting our baby girl!! Overall, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Katler to everyone!
Jul 29, 2025
The entire SGF Atlanta staff is wonderful. Many people were involved in our FET, and we are very grateful! Katie was the most caring nurse every time we came for an ultrasound. Dr. Libby was outstanding—she coordinated our transfer, and Dr. Brahma ultimately performed it over the weekend. Everyone we met deserves a 10/10 rating.
Jul 29, 2025
I live outside Atlanta... Clinic fees are already expensive, and this clinic also charges for parking. My condition required me to visit every day, and the parking fee is not fixed. The staff work slowly, so the parking cost becomes excessive at $2 every 20 minutes. I think it would be better to choose another clinic.
Jul 23, 2025
Overall, the medical care I received here was good. My doctors were excellent, although some instructions were unclear or incorrect and required clarification from support staff. However, communication with the finance department was extremely difficult. My financial counselor was not proactive, and the billing department did not help correct the issue in the end, leaving me very uncomfortable with the experience. My treatment ended 5 months ago, and I am still regularly trying to obtain insurance reimbursement. I followed every instruction from the financial counselor and billing department but continue going in circles. My insurer says the information the billing department gave them conflicts with what the department told me. This is extremely frustrating and makes it feel as though the organization has made no effort to ease patients' financial concerns. In addition to making reimbursement difficult, they billed my insurer twice for several visits, and I had to request that the charges be reversed before I could continue seeking reimbursement.
Aug 25, 2025
If you are looking for personalized, professional care that values accountability, avoid a nurse like Laura. In expensive and highly specialized medical care, someone like Laura should not hold such an important role. If she cannot relay information accurately and communicate with patients promptly, she needs a different work environment. The office manager, Fan, also covers for Laura and makes excuses for her, which not only perpetuates poor patient experiences but also harms the clinic's overall image, including that of its professional doctors.

Dr. Libby and her team were wonderful throughout my egg-freezing process!
Aug 12, 2025
I wish I could say this was a great experience, but that would be a lie. Every step at this clinic was extremely stressful. Because Shady Grove did not send the correct documents to my insurance company, obtaining financial approval was enormously stressful. It took me 5 weeks and hours of phone calls to resolve the financial issues. At my first meeting with the doctor, I said I would love to choose whether my first child was a boy or girl. He replied, "Your child can choose their own gender." I was so shocked that I barely knew how to continue the conversation. This was completely inappropriate for a first meeting where I was simply trying to understand the IVF process. During my 14-day IVF cycle, I was passed among 9 different nurses who did not communicate with one another. I ran out of medication after 9 days, yet the doctor told me it was my responsibility to track my progress. Their most shocking error occurred as I was being wheeled into the operating room. They gave me a form to sign stating that I wanted an immediate transfer, when I actually wanted to freeze the embryos. Thankfully, I caught the error; otherwise, who knows what would have happened to my eggs after the procedure. Overall, this was an extremely disorganized and stressful experience. If I pursue a second round, I will go to another clinic.
Aug 4, 2025
The team is amazing! I am very grateful to everyone, including my nurse, Jimena Smith. Her patient care was impeccable and truly put me at ease.
Aug 2, 2025
Dr. Cutler, nurse Rachel Huff, and all the nurses on staff made this experience easy and pleasant. They were wonderful. I am very grateful for their kindness and care toward my husband and me. Thanks to Dr. Cutler, we are now expecting our first child and could not be happier.
Sep 5, 2025
SGF is amazing!!! I am 23 and decided to freeze my eggs because of endometriosis and an unexpected cancer diagnosis. After chemotherapy began, Dr. Katler and Alanna were incredibly helpful and enabled me to start the process quickly. Dr. Katler was very knowledgeable about contraception during chemotherapy and how to optimize my fertility, which was a huge relief. Alanna was also responsive and helpful with my many questions. On egg retrieval day, Karen was kind and helpful and made the entire process very smooth! One doctor at the Alpharetta clinic performed my ultrasounds throughout, while another performed the procedure. Both were happy to discuss my treatment in detail, and the genuine care they showed for patients who were not even “theirs” was wonderful. Everyone I met on the SGF team was attentive, thoughtful, and kind in a way I had not experienced at many other clinics. They made the IVF process exceptionally smooth after every previous step had felt like pulling teeth! I do not plan to have children soon, but I am 100% certain SGF will be there when the time comes! I highly recommend this team!

Jimina and Ashley are wonderful.
Nov 14, 2025
It is really hard to put into words how much Shady Grove means to us! Dr. Kanter, Cara & Rebecca are the reason we have our little miracle baby! Throughout our IUI/IVF journey, these 3 made us extremely comfortable, explained everything in great detail, cheered us on & truly treated us like family. The communication was top notch which was very important to both me and my husband. Everyone in the Atlanta office was so caring & kind, we couldn’t have had a better experience! I had tears in my eyes leaving our graduation appointment because Dr. Kanter, Cara, Rebecca & everyone else at SGF really touched our lives & single-handedly are the reason we have our precious boy today! We’re forever thankful for SGF Atlanta! Edited Nov 2025: We are back again at SGF for baby #2 and still receiving the very best care! From Dr Kanter, Rebecca, Cara, Suzy, Crystal, Amy, Sharon, Ingrid, Kristin, Audreaka… these sweet ladies are like family! SGF is hands down, the very best!
Nov 14, 2025
I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Shady Grove Fertility in Sandy Springs, Atlanta, Georgia. From the moment I entered the clinic, every staff member provided tremendous support, care, and professional service. Dr. Pavna Brahma was outstanding—thorough, patient, and genuinely committed to helping me through this difficult journey. Special thanks to Amy Stewart, the team lead at Shady Grove Fertility, who helped me immensely throughout the process. Amy always made me feel welcome and cared for. On one especially difficult day, she went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and reassured. Her kindness and empathy meant so much to me. I am very grateful to have had this team by my side. I highly recommend Shady Grove Fertility to anyone seeking excellent medical care.
Nov 10, 2025
Dr. Cutler and everyone at Shady Grove are amazing! Alanna, the fertility nurse coordinator, always patiently answered my many questions. I also formed a wonderful connection with Sharon in the lab, who always encouraged me, and I will forever be grateful to her. My wife and I cannot thank Dr. Cutler enough. We began this family-building journey two years ago. As a lesbian couple, we felt completely comfortable and accepted at Shady Grove—everyone at SGF made us feel welcome. We recommend Shady Grove 100%; if you need fertility care, consider SGF.
Nov 9, 2025
Jimena is an amazing nurse, and I hope to see her every time I go there!
Oct 22, 2025
My journey at SGF has been remarkable. I was diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids. Because of their type and location, I had no chance of becoming pregnant. Dr. Cutler and his team stayed with my partner and me throughout our two-year journey. My condition seemed beyond repair. My uterine lining had multiple areas of scar tissue and several fibroids. But Dr. Cutler was amazing: through 4 hysteroscopies, he reconstructed and optimized my uterine lining. For two of them, he referred me to Dr. Wesney Barnes at Northside Hospital, who performed two surgeries. This was between late 2023 and 2024. In December 2024, I had an unsuccessful IVF cycle. During our second IVF cycle in May 2025, we had a positive pregnancy test but miscarried when my beta levels began to fall. Dr. Cutler continued to encourage us and offered other options. Today is October 2025, and I am 12 weeks pregnant. I conceived naturally, by God’s will. Dr. Cutler called this pregnancy a miracle and said he believed there was still hope. Before I transferred to my current OB-GYN, Dr. Cutler took excellent care of me during the first few weeks of pregnancy. I pray and hope to make it safely through all 40 weeks. I hope this gives hope to anyone reading. Thank you to Dr. Cutler and his team for walking this path with us. SGF is the place to go.

This review is for our outstanding financial counselor, Ashley M. She went above and beyond to explain every option in detail and patiently answered every question, even repeatedly during the same call. She never hesitated to schedule another call when needed. Ashley is knowledgeable and confident, which made us more confident in our decisions. We greatly appreciate her support as we began with Shady Grove!
Dec 12, 2025
The three women at the front desk were extremely rude. Their harsh words and attitude made check-in feel like I was a burden, so I would rather drive elsewhere. I regret choosing this location.
Dec 11, 2025
My wife and I had an amazing experience at Shady Grove Fertility. The entire team was professional, warm, friendly, and positive. Everyone made us comfortable and genuinely cared for. They gave us confidence at every step and were always ready to answer any question. SGF represents excellence in fertility care—a special place where dreams of parenthood can become reality. Thank you to everyone at SGF. We look forward to seeing you again in a month. 💕
Nov 27, 2025
My husband and I had an excellent experience at SGF and recommend them to everyone. Dr. Katler and his team were knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate. My nurses were responsive and encouraging and genuinely cared about my experience. Everyone at the Lake Hearn and Marietta clinics made follow-up visits easier and supported us whatever happened. Thanks to SGF, we are now expecting our double-rainbow baby. I would give them six stars if I could!
Jan 10, 2026
Shady Grove Fertility has been the best for me and my family. After fertility challenges and some unpleasant care experiences, Dr. McCarthy Keith and her team helped my husband and me have two wonderful children. This Atlanta clinic has caring nurses, knowledgeable staff, attentive nurse practitioners, welcoming front desk staff, and the very best doctor, Dr. McCarthy-Keith. My nurse, Laura Peters, was also outstanding. We will always be grateful to Shady Grove Fertility for helping us build our family.
Jan 6, 2026
Dr. Quinton Cutler is amazing! He is kind, compassionate, and approachable—all qualities I value in a doctor. I have recommended Dr. Cutler to friends and will continue to do so. His team is equally outstanding. I am very grateful for their attentive care. We always felt reassured. Thanks to him and his team, we look forward to welcoming our first baby this year!

Our experience here was absolutely wonderful! After two years of trying, Dr. Katler and his outstanding team helped us achieve our dream of having a baby! ❤️ We sincerely thank Dr. Katler, his team, and everyone at Shady Grove. Everyone at SGF is exceptionally kind and helpful. Thank you, thank you! ❤️❤️
Feb 20, 2026
Dr. Katler and Alanna are a dream team! My husband and I will always be grateful to them. For 14 months, I sought help without finding answers about infertility. Anyone who has experienced infertility knows that eventually you may feel self-blame and anger. All those negative emotions and worries disappeared after the first visit. Dr. Katler immediately created a testing plan and then a treatment plan when the results arrived. I have never met a doctor who listened so carefully to my history and explained things so patiently. Alanna was the same. They made a difficult and frightening process a thousand times better than we expected. I was also fortunate to work with the SGF Marietta team. Everyone was positive, encouraging, and considerate throughout.
Feb 16, 2026
Dr. Katler appears compassionate—until accountability is required. In 2024, I began treatment at Shady Grove after being told I had ‘plenty of time’ and qualified for the shared-risk program. That representation influenced my decision to proceed. After losing my full-term baby at 37 weeks, I returned within one month to continue IVF planning. Over the next several months, requirements changed and eligibility limits were disclosed late. About seven months later, I was told I no longer qualified for shared risk because of an AMH cutoff and an age limit under 41, even though I was under 41 and these criteria had not been clearly disclosed when treatment began. The most serious issue arose after I formally withdrew from care. On February 12 at 3:00 p.m., Dr. Katler called about a negative review I had posted on the day I stopped treatment. He described a revised fertility plan and said he had a proposal for my husband and me. The discussion then shifted to how the review affected him personally. He said recovery would take a long time and nobody had ever ‘done this to him.’ He asked me to remove the review. I deleted it after he said he would follow up about treatment planning. I agreed to hear him out but made clear that I had already found another physician. On February 13 at 3:22 p.m., after I had left the practice and while my husband was hospitalized, Dr. Katler called again. The call focused on his reaction to the review, not my care. I repeated that I was uncomfortable continuing with him and had found another doctor. He said he was too emotional to remain objective and could not continue as my physician. The call lasted more than twenty minutes and centered on his feelings about the now-deleted review. I reminded him that he was the physician and I was the patient and suggested he seek appropriate help instead of discussing his emotional distress with me. I ended the call and returned to the hospital, where he knew my husband was. A physician contacting a former patient to discuss personal distress over a review, asking for its removal during treatment discussions, and admitting an inability to remain objective reflects serious lapses in professional boundaries and judgment. I reported this matter to Shady Grove administration and the Georgia Composite Medical Board. Patients deserve physicians who remain objective and composed and clearly separate personal reputation from patient care.

Thank you, nurses Taneka, Sarah, Payal, and Vinetra!
Mar 15, 2026
Thank you so much to the entire Shady Grove team for a flawless experience from start to finish! I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Katler, Dr. Julia, Dr. Rachael, Dr. Anna, and the highly skilled doctor who performed my procedure. I arrived feeling like a customer and left feeling like family. Words cannot express how grateful I am for your warmth and care. With love, LeeAnn

We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Brahma and her outstanding team at Shady Grove. With their guidance, expertise, and support, we welcomed two beautiful babies and completed our family. From the beginning, everyone we met was caring, patient, and genuinely invested in our journey. At every step, they made a potentially overwhelming fertility journey feel supportive and hopeful. We are deeply grateful for this experience and will always remember the attentive care they provided.

The staff were amazing! Dr. MK is the best, and I am very grateful to her. During my egg retrieval, nurses Janice, Taneka, and Venetra took excellent care of me. They were highly professional and explained everything very thoroughly. I cannot thank them enough.

After a long and emotional journey, we wanted to share our experience at this clinic in hopes of helping others on a similar path. From the beginning, the clinic staff made us feel welcome and supported. Everyone we met was kind, patient, and genuinely caring, which mattered greatly during an often overwhelming fertility journey. Our doctor, Dr. Katler, was outstanding—knowledgeable, compassionate, and always willing to answer our questions and guide us through each step. My nurse, Alanna, was also very kind and helpful. Our journey was not easy. We had 2 unsuccessful IUIs, and our first IVF transfer ended in miscarriage, which was heartbreaking. Even then, the entire team remained understanding and encouraging. We are now nearly 11 weeks pregnant after our second IVF transfer. We are so glad we did not give up and deeply grateful to have had this team of doctors, nurses, laboratory staff, and everyone else beside us. If you are looking for excellent medical care combined with genuine compassion, we wholeheartedly recommend Shady Grove Fertility. The fertility journey is not always smooth, but having an outstanding care team makes all the difference. My husband and I will always be grateful to Dr. Katler and his team.

Your kindness, professionalism, and dedication have not gone unnoticed. You did not just provide medical care—you gave me reassurance, encouragement, and strength when I needed it most. Thank you for being such an important part of this journey and for helping make something so meaningful possible in my life. I will always be grateful.

I had an excellent experience at Shady Grove. Dr. Katler and the entire medical staff were highly professional, knowledgeable, and patient in answering all my questions. From egg retrieval and hysteroscopy to embryo transfer, every doctor made me feel valued and understood. The ultrasound technicians and phlebotomists were also outstanding. I felt completely confident in the entire team. Thank you all so much!

Words cannot express our gratitude to Shady Grove Fertility. Thanks to their exceptional expertise and attentive care, we are eagerly awaiting our rainbow baby. We will always be grateful that they helped us build our family. After 5 years of infertility and countless setbacks, we finally found the help we needed with Dr. Katler and Alanna. Dr. Katler created a treatment plan tailored to our needs and always explained every step patiently and clearly. Whether he called personally to check on us or took the time to answer our many questions, we always felt respected and cared for, not treated as just another patient. The most memorable moment of our journey was graduation day, when both Dr. Katler and Alanna were there to see our little baby on ultrasound and celebrate with us. It is a memory we will cherish forever. Their kindness and professionalism changed our lives, and we highly recommend them. That kindness extended to everyone at Shady Grove. From the welcoming front desk staff and friendly ultrasound and laboratory technicians to the embryologists and clinicians working behind the scenes, everyone made our fertility journey feel personal and caring. We are thrilled to meet our rainbow baby in a few weeks and will always treasure this wonderful experience.

We are incredibly grateful to Shady Grove Fertility. Their entire team is wonderful. From the welcoming front desk staff to the nurses and everyone involved, the service was impeccable. We were fortunate to begin treatment under Dr. Katler's care, and we could not be happier. From the start, he demonstrated extensive expertise and made sure every possible test was performed to improve the chances of a successful embryo transfer. The treatment plan felt personalized, and we genuinely felt that he was doing everything possible to help us succeed. He often called personally to ask how I was feeling, explain our progress, and answer all our questions and concerns. I am now pregnant and eagerly awaiting our baby's arrival. We are deeply grateful. I recommend Shady Grove Fertility and Dr. Katler 100%. If we decide to try for another pregnancy in the future, we will definitely return to this clinic and doctor. Thank you for helping make our dream come true.

My egg retrieval here went very smoothly. All the nurses were kind and explained everything clearly. The anesthesiologist was also very pleasant. The procedure began on time. Everything from check-in to departure was perfect.

The clinic's name says it all: unreliable. My wife and I tried twice after our first IVF cycle failed. The second attempt felt rushed and unprofessional, with poor communication and little guidance. They were supposed to discharge my wife at 9 weeks, although they should actually have followed her through 10 weeks. They did not recommend an OB-GYN, explain when to stop medication, or provide any guidance or instructions. They simply wished her luck, as though they had taken our money and she was no longer their responsibility. I could say much more, but overall we are extremely disappointed and angry. Please go elsewhere; you can find much better care.

Dr. Cutler and his team are wonderful. They patiently guided us through every step and were always available to answer questions. The entire process was smooth, including testing, scheduling, and planning the next steps. We did encounter some authorization issues with the billing team, but they resolved them immediately after I raised my concerns. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I am very grateful to the team.

Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found Dr. Quinton Cutler. His knowledge and expertise are exceptional, but what we admire most is his genuine concern for his patients. He is fully invested in your recovery, listens patiently to your story, and guides every decision with clarity and empathy. What touched us most was his personal care. He called to ask how we were doing, reassured us, and answered our questions, which meant a great deal. It is rare to find a doctor who is both highly skilled and deeply compassionate. The entire team is equally outstanding: welcoming, responsive, and helpful. Special recognition goes to Ms. Devi Pratt in the billing department, who helped us resolve a very complex insurance issue. She spent hours on calls with me and my insurance company and reviewed dozens of claims. She went far beyond her responsibilities, and we are extremely grateful. Thank you, SGF!

Kirstin is very helpful and always warm and friendly whenever I see her. I truly appreciate her!

The staff were friendly and professional when I visited the clinic. However, the clinic's internal processes, communication, procedures, and accountability need improvement. We have encountered many problems since our doctor referred us here. Initially, the referrals for my spouse and me were faxed at the same time. The clinic received my spouse's referral but somehow did not receive mine. I later emailed my referral directly, but the clinic still could not locate the one my doctor originally sent. I also provided my insurance information because my insurance covers the procedure, but the clinic still charged me the self-pay rate. My spouse's first appointment was in early May. We were told the results would be available within two to three days. Nearly a month has passed, and we still have not received them. We paid for this appointment out of pocket. People come to this clinic during difficult times seeking help, answers, and hope. Delays, poor communication, and billing problems only add to the stress they already face. We simply want clear communication, accurate billing, and timely access to the information we were promised.

I did not like that Dr. Canter never called to tell me the results.
May 23, 2026
The doctors and nurses are excellent, but other departments, such as scheduling and billing, need significant improvement. The patient experience feels disjointed.

I came here for daily blood draws while my physician was based at the main Sandy Springs office. Courtney, Jada, and everyone else were excellent—warm, kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. They put you at ease and encourage you. Highly recommended!

Do not waste your time, money, or emotional energy. During intake they treat you like royalty, but once you are an established patient, communication becomes very difficult and responses take 10 business days. I missed 2 cycles in which I could have tried IUI. There is substantial staff turnover, and they do not tell you who your new contact person is.

Buckhead is the SGF office nearest me, so I probably would have visited it most often regardless, but I want to say that Princess is an excellent phlebotomist. I have blood drawn frequently and it is never enjoyable, but Princess gets it right quickly every time, and it is essentially painless. She also has a cheerful, bright personality that makes the process a little easier. I just wanted to recognize her!
Sep 25, 2024
10/10 experience. I had a terrible morning, and this team was wonderful. Thank you, Princess and Ginita!!!

Everyone is entitled to their own perspective, especially with something as personal and emotional as fertility treatment, but at the Buckhead clinic, you quickly notice what makes this team different. Courtney always greets me with a genuine smile and calls me by name. It may seem small, but it truly sets the tone. She is always happy to follow up with my doctor or team when needed. Anna is undoubtedly the best sonographer. Her calm demeanor eases my anxiety, something you deeply appreciate when having an ultrasound every other day. Jada is always sincere and very gentle when drawing blood. No one would choose to go through this journey, but I am sincerely grateful for the care from this clinic's team. Every answered question, reassuring smile, and even conversation with other patients in the waiting room made the process feel a little easier. You should always choose what is right for you, but if you are reading reviews and remain undecided, I can honestly say Shady Grove Fertility is a good choice.

You give them $30,000, and they still do not validate parking.

Shady Grove’s billing practices are as opaque as its name suggests. In July, they continued charging us for services we should not have had to pay for. We have spoken with them 6 times and were assured each time that the charges would be removed. We are still receiving bills and threats that the account will be sent to collections. Use Shady Grove at your own risk.

I came to Shady Grove Fertility seeking clear guidance and professional medical advice, not to rush into fertility treatment. Instead, the process felt hurried and agenda-driven. Although we clearly said we were not actively trying to conceive, the conversation quickly moved to invasive testing, IVF procedures, and costs. Repeated emphasis on broad insurance coverage made the process feel more like a sales funnel than personalized medical care. Communication seemed focused on moving us into treatment rather than hearing our wishes and priorities. My partner was also abruptly drawn into decision-making in a way that felt uncomfortable and unnecessary in the circumstances. This clinic may suit patients ready to begin fertility treatment quickly, but those seeking thoughtful, appropriately paced, patient-centered care may find the environment overwhelming.

My experience with Dr. Cutler truly changed my life. From the first consultation through treatment, I always felt heard and supported. Dr. Cutler and nurse Julia were professional, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Fertility treatment can feel overwhelming, but they made the process easy to understand. I am deeply grateful that they helped us build our family.

Dr. Katler appears compassionate — until accountability is required. I began treatment at Shady Grove in 2024 after being told I had “plenty of time” and qualified for their IVF program. That representation influenced my decision to proceed. I got pregnant the month after my first visit. After the loss of my full-term child at 37 weeks, I returned within a month to continue IVF planning. Over the following months, I experienced shifting requirements and delayed disclosure of eligibility limits. After approximately seven months, I was informed I no longer qualified for shared-risk due to an AMH cutoff and an age restriction under 41 — criteria not clearly disclosed when I began treatment, despite the fact that I am under 41. The most serious concerns arose after I formally withdrew from care on 2/11. On 2/12 at 3 PM, Dr. Katler called regarding a negative review I left the day I discontinued treatment. He described a revised fertility plan and stated he had a proposal for my husband and me. The discussion then shifted to how the negative review affected him personally. He stated it would take him a long time to recover and that no one had ever “done this to him.” He requested that I remove the review. I deleted it after he indicated he would follow up with treatment planning. I agreed to hear him out but made clear I had already secured another physician. On 2/13 at 3:22 PM, after I had left the practice and while my husband was in the hospital, Dr. Katler called again. The call centered on his reaction to the review rather than my treatment. I reiterated that I was not comfortable continuing care with him and had found another physician. He then stated he was too emotional to remain objective and could not continue as my doctor. The call lasted over twenty minutes and focused on his feelings about the now deleted review. I reminded him that he was the physician and I was the patient. I ended the call and returned to the hospital, where he knew my husband was. A physician contacting a former patient to discuss personal distress about a negative review, requesting its removal in proximity to treatment discussion, and acknowledging inability to remain objective reflects serious lapses in professional boundaries and judgment. I had already left the clinic and secured another physician. These calls served no clinical purpose. I have reported this matter to Shady Grove administration and to the Georgia Composite Medical Board. Patients deserve physicians who maintain objectivity, composure, and clear separation between personal reputation and patient care.

Dr. Katler was our physician at SGF. He is highly knowledgeable about fertility and helped my wife and me succeed. He answered all our questions thoroughly and provided individualized treatment. The nurses who worked with him always communicated promptly and attentively. I also want to extend heartfelt thanks to the SGF Marietta team—we love you! I highly recommend Dr. Katler and his team!

I cannot express how much I love Dr. Katler. From our first meeting, he had the best bedside manner and a calm demeanor. Our fertility journey was not easy, but he supported us throughout and was willing to use uncommon protocols when grounded in evidence-based medicine. I truly believe this helped us become pregnant, along with his referral to an excellent Lawrenceville specialist for my Asherman's syndrome. He heard my tears of sorrow and now my tears of joy because after a year and a half, we are finally pregnant. I genuinely feel that he and his team care about me and helped us achieve our dream of a child. I love his nurse Tina; they are the best team. I cannot wait to return for baby number two!

Words cannot describe how I feel about SGF and Dr. Katler! We will always be grateful to him and his entire team for caring for us during our journey. They were always only a call away and always encouraging. Graduating from their care was bittersweet, but we are grateful to know them!

I had the best experience with Dr. Katler. Throughout the process, he was caring, personable, knowledgeable, clear, and highly supportive. His fertility nurse coordinator, Stephanie Rochelle, was organized, called regularly with updates, and ensured I was well cared for. The entire SGF Lake Hearn team—from front office administration and ultrasound technicians to surgical nursing—was wonderful, caring, and supportive. I am deeply grateful for such excellent care. I highly recommend SGF and Dr. Katler.

I was fortunate to receive treatment from Dr. Katler and was deeply impressed. His professionalism and extensive knowledge stood out throughout. He ensured I understood every step, and his expertise put me at ease from beginning to end. Dr. Katler is not only professional but also cheerful and personable. Dr. Kanter, who performed all my procedures, was very supportive and made them feel smooth and comfortable. Thanks to Dr. Katler's excellent care, my family and I are enjoying life, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend him to friends and family. My only suggestion concerns the financial team. More proactive responses and clearer explanations of out-of-pocket expenses before treatment would help patients plan. Overall, I had an excellent experience with Dr. Katler, Stephanie, Raechal, and the rest of the team and truly appreciate my care.
Jun 10, 2025
Dr. Katler and his team played a vital role in helping my husband and me welcome our baby safely. Our son is officially one month old. Dr. Katler was exceptionally kind throughout. He answered all our questions and those of our surrogate, and even called after the birth to check on us, long after his formal obligation ended. He provides outstanding medical care and places great value on caring for patients, which is rare in healthcare today. I highly recommend him.
