    Update: It has now been more than a year. Since then, they migrated their billing system, at least for egg storage, and I have experienced registration, payment, and customer-service problems. I therefore stand by my review. Overall, I would not recommend Shady Grove Fertility to anyone seeking these services and would advise choosing another fertility provider. If you must use Shady Grove, I strongly advise against the Arlington clinic. The process and my interactions with Shady Grove Fertility’s Arlington clinic began well. I expected egg freezing to be smooth, professional, and standard, but those hopes quickly disappeared. Problems included their failure to order all necessary tests at once, requiring repeated testing and wasted visit fees; a disorganized process that forced me to request information urgently at the last minute; a treatment schedule inconsistent with what I was told during update calls; major appointment delays caused by overbooking and overcommitting; having to visit multiple clinics, with physicians providing different next-step plans; being instructed to take medication I did not have, creating confusion; and staff unwilling to help when timing problems arose. By the time of my egg retrieval, I had lost confidence and trust in the process. While signing consent forms, I was uncomfortable with a provision allowing photographs ‘for educational purposes.’ They responded, ‘Oh, that is not really allowed, so you can cross it out. I do not know why it is still there.’ This was deeply concerning from a legal consent perspective. Finally, the most frustrating part was my follow-up call. I asked the physician for more information for the future, and she said she would adjust the current protocol, including a different trigger and a more aggressive medication regimen. Someone with the same initial laboratory results who froze eggs at a leading New York clinic had received high-dose medication and a different trigger from the beginning. I feel I was denied the opportunity to do the process properly the first time.

    I had the privilege of completing three rounds of intrauterine insemination (IUI) under Dr. Malik’s care at Shady Grove Fertility, and I cannot praise her and her team enough. From the beginning, Dr. Malik showed extraordinary compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. She carefully listened to my concerns and clearly explained every step, making me feel genuinely cared for not only as a patient but as a person. Having a physician who was both highly skilled and emotionally supportive meant everything to me. I formed a strong connection with Dr. Malik and her team, and their kindness and professionalism helped me remain hopeful throughout. I am deeply grateful for everything they did to support and accompany me during such an important period of my life. Thank you, Dr. Malik and the Shady Grove team, for your care, encouragement, and unwavering support. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

    We owe both of our wonderful sons to SGF! The SGF team is highly efficient, and we strongly recommend them!

    We cannot say enough good things about our team—Dr. Nair and our nurses Rebecca and Olivia. They were compassionate, understanding, and encouraging. They explained everything clearly without sugarcoating it. Our journey was not smooth, but I always felt I had an excellent team beside me through the hardest times. We have now successfully graduated and are due in month 8 (August). Thank you, SGF!

    I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Nair and nurse Rebecca at Shady Grove. Thanks to the SGF team, I have a healthy baby girl, something that would not have been possible without them. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism, compassion, and expertise. They explained the entire process clearly and were always available to discuss any concerns or questions. I will always be grateful for the gift they gave me!

    The doctors, nurses, and staff at Shady Grove Arlington are outstanding—very kind and responsive! I am deeply grateful to Dr. Nair and her clinical team for their support and guidance throughout.

    I had an appointment with Dr. Nair to discuss possible fertility treatment options. From the first visit, she was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. She patiently answered my questions and eased my concerns. Fortunately, my husband and I did not need any of Dr. Nair's services and conceived a few months later! After my test was positive, Dr. Nair and nurse practitioner Olivia were amazing. They gave me tremendous reassurance, support, and guidance, and of course shared in my excitement! Thank you both for your knowledge, encouragement, and advice... and for taking the first ultrasound pictures!

    Shady Grove played a vital role in helping us successfully build our family. We have a healthy toddler and expect our second baby in October. They balance a focus on outcomes with giving patients the autonomy to choose the most appropriate treatment plan. They are experienced in treating patients of advanced maternal age and eager to help. I always recommend them, and Dr. Reh, to friends seeking fertility support.
    Jul 14, 2025
    My husband and I came to Shady Grove Fertility later in life hoping to have a child, and we were fortunate to meet Dr. Reh. We were very nervous about fertility treatment, but Dr. Reh and her entire team were kind, explained everything clearly, and made us feel at ease. Before we began full treatment, Dr. Reh recommended several tests and vaccinations, and miraculously, we conceived naturally! Everyone on the team genuinely celebrated with us, which meant so much. I am only 15 weeks pregnant, so there is still a long way to go, but I am truly grateful to Dr. Reh for helping us achieve this pregnancy. If we decide to have another child, we will definitely return to her!

    I cannot thank Shady Grove Fertility and Dr. Reh enough for helping us through our IVF journey and making our dream of becoming parents a reality. As a 39-year-old, I knew the odds were against us, but thanks to their expertise and guidance, we were able to retrieve one genetically viable embryo that resulted in a successful transfer. Shady Grove’s multiple locations made it so convenient to attend all of my monitoring appointments, and their early hours and efficient staff ensured my visits were quick with minimal disruption to my work schedule. Dr. Reh and her nurse team were always in touch, providing updates, reassurance, and guidance throughout the entire process. Dr. Reh also tailored a medication regimen specifically for me to give me the best possible chance at success, and it worked. My pregnancy went smoothly, and I was released from Shady Grove at 8 weeks gestation. A few weeks ago, I delivered a healthy baby boy, and I could not be more grateful. Becoming a mom is the greatest gift of my life, and I owe it to Dr. Reh and the amazing team at Shady Grove. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone going through this journey. Thank you again for everything!

    Blood tests always make me anxious. I have had many unpleasant experiences, especially with procedures I had no choice but to undergo. Even so, I am grateful to Donna at the Arlington office for making my test smooth and painless.

    We will always be grateful to SGF, Dr. Nair, and her team. Over the past few years, we have seen how hard the staff work to make this difficult experience more manageable. They witnessed our happiest and saddest moments and always supported us. It has been wonderful to see the improvements the SGF team has made to the overall experience, from the front desk staff and encouraging words to everyone's positive attitude. Thank you!

    Donna made my day. She made everything easy and smooth. I am very grateful to the entire team at SGF Arlington. They helped me through this difficult journey.

    Thank you to the SGF Arlington office! Thank you, Dr. Nair!! You made our treatment journey so wonderful! We sometimes felt overwhelmed, but Dr. Nair and the team kept us informed throughout. Dr. Nair explained every step and every option in detail and listened carefully to me. She supported me and provided real data to help me make the best decisions. During a sometimes emotional process, the nurses and staff were always warm, friendly, and helpful. I am now a proud graduate! At SGF Fairfax, you never feel like just a patient, but like family!! Thank you so much!

    Olivia was outstanding during my egg-freezing cycle. She was very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease during monitoring. Jackie also kept me informed, and I felt well supported throughout. Highly recommended!
    Nov 27, 2025
    Very transactional experience here. Example: The Dr. failed to review our discrete issues before an appointment and when we brought some of them up, her response showed us that she failed to review our file/testing and instead only was regurgitating what is available on the NIH website. Billing is a nightmare: we were over billed (then refunded). Several tests were inputted incorrectly when ordered, just causing more stress during the already stressful process. Look elsewhere
    Nov 25, 2025
    Dr. Malik is the best! If you are looking for a doctor who listens and genuinely cares, I absolutely recommend her! She gave me two beautiful miracle babies, and I am deeply grateful to her and her outstanding nursing team!
    Nov 18, 2025
    The nurses and staff at SGF Arlington are wonderful! Dr. Malik and Olivia are highly knowledgeable, and their kindness and care were essential to our fertility journey. I was genuinely sad when my treatment ended because the staff were so wonderful. Our first baby is now healthy, happy, and almost 3 months old!
    Nov 17, 2025
    Donna will be my first choice for blood tests from now on. I do not especially like having blood drawn, but Donna made the process easy and smooth. I highly recommend her; she is the best phlebotomist I have ever met.
    Nov 15, 2025
    I had a wonderful experience here. From beginning to end, my care team was very helpful and made me feel comfortable throughout. Dr. Malik, nurse Rachel, and the entire clinical staff deserve 10 stars!

    The SGF clinical staff are wonderful. My interactions with Dr. Reh and Brianna were excellent; they responded promptly and openly discussed plans, questions, and concerns beyond the portal. Dr. Reh supported me from egg retrieval several years ago through recent IVF. I am deeply grateful to SGF for my healthy, happy baby, who is almost three months old!

    I am a physician, and my wife and I came to Shady Grove Fertility after cancer caused fertility problems. We hoped they would bring some light to an extremely difficult time, but we were shocked by repeated errors, incompetence, and disregard for detail. The worst issue involved Dr. Reh. After our initial meeting, she created an intrauterine insemination (IUI) plan. My rough calculation showed that her planned 3 vials of semen amounted to only about 15% of a normal IUI, making it nearly pointless. We repeatedly requested a follow-up to understand why. Our concern proved justified: when we raised the issue several times, Dr. Reh clearly did not understand why she had created that plan. Without us, the problem might never have been found. Her carelessness would have wasted our time, samples, and money. Rather than apologize or acknowledge the error, she said, "Well, I see many patients every day..." This was appalling and unacceptable. The administrative team made other smaller but equally careless errors. They requested lab results submitted weeks earlier. We sent the intake coordinator Jessica 7 follow-up emails before she responded. She said we needed a form but never sent it. After weeks of follow-up, she replied that it was attached, but it still was not. We escalated the issue to senior managers Leah Valentine and Katie Martino, who acknowledged it but took no action. As of this review, I still have not received the form. We finally left for another clinic. We lost four months of trying to conceive and hundreds of dollars, but hope our experience helps others avoid the same outcome. Family planning requires meticulous care, and this clinic clearly cannot provide it.

    Shady Grove Fertility in Arlington provides exceptional care from a professional team that genuinely cares about its patients. The doctors are knowledgeable and take the time to explain everything thoroughly; the nurses and staff are kind, responsive, and organized. The clinic runs smoothly, making what could be a very stressful fertility journey feel easier and more reassuring. I highly recommend this clinic for its high-quality treatment and compassionate care.

    The person who answered the phone was unprofessional, and the amount of information required for registration was absurd, from personal details and a Social Security number to the date of marriage (why do they need that?). I understand their concern about clients not paying, but scheduling an appointment should not require such an extensive process or all of our personal information. When we canceled, they were unhappy, kept insisting that we reschedule, and even hung up on me (no thanks). Think carefully before scheduling there. Other locations may provide better service.

    I just want to thank Ms. Bree. There were a few minor difficulties at first, but once she arrived, everything went smoothly! Thank you, Ms. Bree and Dr. Nair. I cannot wait to grow my family with your help!
    Feb 14, 2026
    I hope you never need fertility treatment, but if you have concerns, visit SGF. Their caring, thoughtful team can help address your worries and questions.
    Feb 12, 2026
    Over the past five or six years, we had excellent experiences at SGF Arlington and other nearby locations. Under Dr. Malik's guidance, we were fortunate to complete several IVF cycles and ultimately have two healthy babies.
    Mar 8, 2026
    My husband and I scheduled a consultation with Shady Grove Fertility and Dr. Reh because we plan to start a family in the near future and wanted to gather information in advance, including learning about health concerns and medical history affecting both of us. Instead of feeling welcomed and supported, however, we felt judged and discouraged. From the beginning, the entire appointment felt dismissive. We felt as though we should not have come so early, even though our goal was simply to obtain important information. Several of our questions were brushed aside or minimized instead of receiving the understanding and clear answers they deserved. The information the clinic provided was confusing and disorganized. We left still unsure about the next steps or what we should consider going forward. Worse, the clinic's overall atmosphere added to the poor experience. The staff were rigid and cold, as though helping patients were an inconvenience rather than part of the clinic's responsibility. Many of our questions received only answers such as 'That is not my responsibility' or 'You need to ask someone else,' without clear guidance about whom to ask or what to do next. Honestly, the front desk staff were the only people we encountered who made us feel comfortable. Fertility care is an extremely sensitive field requiring close attention to patients. Patients should feel supported, respected, and fully informed, especially during an initial consultation. We did not experience any of that here.
    Mar 28, 2026
    Dr. Malik was very warm and kept me informed about all my options throughout treatment. She patiently answered my questions and made sure I felt comfortable at every step. I highly recommend Dr. Malik!
    Mar 22, 2026
    Words cannot express how grateful I am to Donna. She is quick and extremely efficient. I trust her completely with my lab work. No one else can do it as easily and quickly as she does. I wish I could request her when I visit other Shady Grove locations.

    Olivia performed my saline ultrasound, and she was amazing!!
    May 27, 2026
    I have not even met them yet. Why does it take over a month to schedule a consultation??? They also require testing more than ten days before the consultation. Do they think people have no jobs or lives? If I did not know people who had previously gone to SGF, I would have given up immediately.

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to Shady Grove Fertility in Arlington, Virginia. From the first phone consultation through every appointment, I felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for—essential during such an emotional fertility journey. Dr. Nair is amazing. She is knowledgeable and thorough and always explained every step of treatment patiently and clearly. She never rushed me and always answered my questions warmly and sincerely, making me feel like her most important patient. Her compassion and professionalism gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout treatment. I am very grateful to have her as my doctor. The front desk staff also deserve praise. Every time I entered, someone greeted me by name with a smile. They handled scheduling, forms, and insurance questions efficiently and with a friendly, positive attitude. They clearly understand how stressful this process is and do everything possible to make it go smoothly. The laboratory team—these amazing women are heroes. They always drew my blood before I had coffee, with a kind greeting and gentle touch. They were quick, skilled, and incredibly warm. I honestly began looking forward to seeing them each morning. Everyone at the clinic—nurses, coordinators, medical assistants, and all the rest—creates an atmosphere that feels more like home than a clinic. They celebrate your successes and support you through difficult moments. This team is exceptional, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone beginning or continuing a fertility journey. Thank you, Shady Grove Fertility Arlington, for everything you do. You are the best. 💙

    Five stars! Dr. Malik and everyone at SGF, including the nurses, front desk staff, and laboratory technicians, gave my husband and me exceptional support throughout IVF. Together they created an encouraging, hopeful environment that sustained us even when we felt hopeless. Although SGF physicians are in high demand, Dr. Malik always made time to speak or meet with me and never made me feel like a burden, even when I repeatedly asked her and the nurses questions. She is the most thoughtful and kind physician I have met, as well as highly skilled. She was open to different ideas and never made me feel there was only one possible path. I highly recommend her to anyone considering fertility treatment. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

    had a wonderful experience with Shady Grove Fertility. David was incredibly helpful throughout the process and made everything feel much less overwhelming. The entire staff truly has a personal touch and makes you feel cared for every step of the way. Nurse Donna is absolutely amazing — kind, attentive, compassionate, and always willing to answer questions with patience and warmth. I’m truly grateful for the support and care I received here.
    May 12, 2026
    My treatment journey has just begun, but the SGF team has been highly professional and helpful throughout. Dr. Nair is very approachable and patiently answered all my questions. Her coordinator, Bri, is also an essential part of the team. Bri always responds promptly to every message and worked with me under tight deadlines to arrange everything as quickly as possible. If you want a skilled and attentive team, I highly recommend SGF.

    “阴暗树林”机构就像购买分时度假权一样。他们玩弄诱饵，然后突然改变主意。他们不会透露整个过程的最终费用。他们用视频、基因检测、不必要的预约来引诱你，最后，当你浪费了所有的时间和金钱去做各种检查，并且花了几个月的时间让你继续坚持下去之后，他们才最终告诉你，试管婴儿的费用是37000美元。

    Dr. Nair is amazing! From the day of my IVF consultation until we were fortunate enough to graduate from Shady Grove, including a miscarriage in between, she met and exceeded all our needs. She is professional, understanding, and genuinely cares about her patients. Dr. Nair and her team are easy to reach and communicate very well. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with infertility.

    Dr. Nair is the best: a graceful, talented, and beautiful person. My husband and I cannot imagine going through this challenging and painful process without her. We were incredibly fortunate and privileged to have her. If you are seeking a fertility specialist who genuinely cares about helping you build a family, call Dr. Nair. She is an elite physician and among the very best in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. I searched widely for someone sensitive to our circumstances, and she exceeded my expectations. Forever grateful for everything you did, Dr. Nair, and to Brittany, her outstanding nurse.
