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.

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.

Dr. Guy and his team are truly one of a kind. We have never felt so heard and understood by a doctor. He is very kind, listens carefully, and genuinely wants the best for us, which means so much! We could not have made it this far without his support, attentive care, and the nurses' help. Even the front desk staff are outstanding! If you need any fertility treatment, Dr. Guy is absolutely the best choice, and we sincerely recommend him. Thank you, Dr. Guy, for changing our lives. We are so grateful to you and everyone at SGF!

Dr. Guy and the entire Shady Grove team were kind, thoughtful, and highly professional. With Dr. Guy's help, we welcomed our daughter after years of trying. We could not be more grateful!
Mar 25, 2026
Dr. Guy is a highly skilled and kind doctor. He patiently answers every question and is very approachable. During such an emotional time, having a compassionate doctor on your side who will even answer questions that may seem trivial is immensely reassuring. If you are seeking a doctor or clinic to guide your fertility journey, I highly recommend Dr. Guy.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Guy and his team. From the first consultation, I felt heard and respected. He explained everything clearly and made us feel like partners in the treatment process rather than just patients. What makes Dr. Guy special is his truly collaborative approach. Instead of simply prescribing a standard protocol, he listened carefully to my concerns, welcomed my questions, and genuinely involved me in my treatment plan. I never felt that decisions were being made for me; instead, we worked together as a team, which made a crucial difference during an already stressful process. Although our IVF journey with Dr. Guy did not end as we hoped—we miscarried at 9 weeks—I still want to acknowledge the exceptional care we received. During the pain of losing our baby, Dr. Guy showed genuine empathy and provided both medical guidance and emotional support during an incredibly difficult time. Although the outcome was not what we wanted, the quality of care was outstanding. I would recommend Dr. Guy without hesitation to anyone facing fertility challenges. He truly cares for his patients and combines excellent medical expertise with compassion and respect for patient autonomy.

Dr. Gay is outstanding! We chose to work with him and the Shady Grove team because they came highly recommended, and he fully lived up to that reputation. From our first appointment, Dr. Gay was exceptionally thorough and thoughtful, ensuring that we fully understood the plan at every step. He offered careful recommendations without ever pressuring us, which we deeply appreciated. We ultimately chose in vitro fertilization (IVF), and thanks to Dr. Gay's expertise and guidance, our first transfer succeeded. We are sincerely grateful to Dr. Gay and his entire team. Their consistent, clear, compassionate communication was essential throughout the process. We cannot wait to share photos of our baby with the team!

Dr. Guy is one of the best doctors we met during our 4.5-year journey to parenthood. After four treatment cycles, we will welcome our rainbow baby in February! We are very grateful to him and his staff for their help and patience over these months. He truly listens and cares and never treats you like “just a number.” His nurse Katie is absolutely wonderful, as is financial counselor Nicole!
Oct 27, 2023
Dr. Guy spent considerable time explaining every procedure. He is humble, kind, and caring. I appreciate how invested he is in everything and am very grateful for all that he and his staff did for me.
Nov 26, 2023
I want to thank Dr. Guy, whose arrival was a blessing in our lives. My wife had recurrent miscarriages when we went to him. One visit was enough for us to become pregnant again, without any initial treatment. Thank you, Dr. Guy, for your kind words and encouragement during our first few visits.
Jan 8, 2024
Our journey would not have been positive without Dr. Guy and Shady Grove. Dr. Guy is humble, knowledgeable, and empathetic, and the way he treated us throughout was admirable. He explained everything clearly, and after each appointment we knew exactly what we needed. Thank you so much; we sincerely appreciate the entire team!
Nov 1, 2024
I cannot emphasize enough how much of a difference he made for me. His friendly face helps, but he is also calm and has a very comforting presence. Given the opportunity, I would return to him without hesitation.
