    Scheduling as a new patient can feel overwhelming. Calling for an appointment, completing new-patient paperwork, and submitting medical records can be stressful. Everyone I contacted was helpful, especially Diane in Patient Services. She went above and beyond to ensure that I received the new-patient paperwork and records. I could even hear her bright smile over the phone and in her emails! Excellent customer service. Thank you all :0)
    May 16, 2025
    The process is just beginning, but the team has been wonderful so far. I especially want to thank Ashley Negron. She is excellent—caring, compassionate, and a strong communicator. Natasha has also been wonderful. Thank you!

    I would recommend Shady Groves to everyone! They are very patient and explain every step in detail, helping you better understand fertility and thoroughly reviewing all your options. Katherine provided excellent service, completed all the testing, and explained every necessary step. She was always available by phone or message. Dr. Plosker genuinely cares about how everyone feels and breaks down every aspect of care so it is easier to understand. He is easy to communicate with and offers excellent plans tailored to your situation.

    It was a pleasure working with Katherine. She was very kind, patient, and helpful. Dr. Plosker was very kind and informative. I cannot wait to continue our fertility journey.

    Diane C. at the Brandon location was wonderful! She helped schedule my son's procedure, guided us through the paperwork, and made sure everything was in order. She was a bright spot during a very difficult time for my sweet son—and gave his mother peace of mind as well. Thank you so much, Diane!

    Is this a sperm donation center? Where are they?
    Jul 26, 2025
    Nelida was absolutely amazing throughout the process. We had encountered many insurance problems and could not resolve them until Nelida advocated for us and secured coverage! She truly is the best! I would recommend her to everyone.

    This review is true. I posted it to tell people about my real experience, but you tried to convince me to change it so I could be seen at another clinic. I was going to do that and deleted some other reviews about my actual experience, only to realize you had all lied. I only wanted those reviews removed. Part Three—My review remains true, and I have posted it on multiple platforms so people can see the full story. Oh my God!!! Are you saying that if I had said nothing, I would simply have run out, and you had not given me proper instructions for taking the medication? You cannot be serious. Before and after my transfer, I repeatedly had to follow up about the next steps in my IVF protocol, which was alarming. When I called the Brandon office for information, the front-desk employee sounded unfriendly and never provided much help. The only things she seemed good at were clocking in and sitting down. She was curt and rude and unwilling to make any extra effort if something was not convenient for her. My husband accompanied me to my last ultrasound. A woman who drew my blood and performed the ultrasound was cold and rude to him. I still do not know her exact role. My husband arrived hopeful as he waited for the results, but she immediately discouraged him. Once again, she showed no concern for the emotions and stress involved in an IVF miracle. He tried to comfort me and say everything would be all right, but she interrupted: 'Well, if the doctor thought nothing was wrong, they would not have asked you to come in this early.' Wow—horrible. That statement speaks for itself. For some reason, she seemed agitated and irritable toward my husband. It made me very uncomfortable, but I did not want to cause more trouble. I had already had enough, and still have. During the ultrasound, my husband was not allowed to record because she said it would 'violate HIPAA.' Whose HIPAA rights would it violate? I do not know, because I consented. I did not want to argue, so I did not mention that I understood HIPAA policy and simply complied. I am still a patient at Shady Grove, but I would rather travel 23 miles out of my way to the Tampa office than 8 miles to the Brandon office. That is how bad it is. I sympathize with every family going through IVF. The last thing you want is rude, insensitive, biased people whose prejudices affect the quality of your care. We ultimately purchased their most expensive plan, and my husband and I were treated much better before signing the agreement. Once we signed, things began to deteriorate. What does that tell you? Some doctors are simply better than others in technique and ability. My last transfer was extremely painful and entirely different from my first. After the catheter entered my uterine cavity, I felt the doctor forcefully reposition it several times. I curled up and screamed in pain. He said he was trying to improve the catheter position, but was the position not appropriate when another doctor successfully performed my first embryo transfer? I believe readers understand my point. I also want to note that my uterus is heart-shaped, which explains its tilt. If Dr. Plosker had reviewed my case, he would have known that. Instead, he mentioned it during the ultrasound as though it surprised him.

    Jordan is amazing! Very helpful and knowledgeable.
    Aug 26, 2025
    The staff at the Brandon office are wonderful! At every visit, whether a consultation or follow-up, they always answer our questions. I highly recommend this clinic and am very pleased with our care so far.
    Aug 22, 2025
    I highly recommend Shady Grove Fertility in Brandon. Dr. Shayne Plosker is outstanding: he explains everything thoroughly, answers questions patiently, and offers compassionate guidance. His professionalism and knowledge gave me confidence throughout treatment. The nurses are also excellent—always kind, attentive, and helpful. Their warmth and care make every visit easier. From the front desk to the medical team, everyone treats you with respect and genuinely cares. Fertility treatment can feel overwhelming, but this clinic makes you feel understood, cared for, and never alone. I am very grateful to Dr. Plosker and the entire Shady Grove Brandon team.
    Aug 14, 2025
    Diane at the front desk was extremely professional! I was comparing fertility clinics and stopped by to see this one. She greeted me with a bright smile and was very knowledgeable when I asked about the clinic, doctors, and process. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, unlike several other clinics I visited that felt cold and indifferent. Thank you, Diane. I will check with my insurer to see whether they approve care at Shady Grove Brandon!
    Aug 2, 2025
    I had a great experience at SGF Brandon. Dr. Plosker is very knowledgeable and explained the entire process in detail. His nurse Jordan was excellent, answered many of my questions, and responded promptly. I always felt someone was available when needed. Thank you, SGF, for a wonderful experience!
    Sep 4, 2025
    The Shady Grove facility and every staff member there were very helpful and understanding! They even waited patiently for my insurance to be processed. I would recommend returning.
    Sep 26, 2025
    Everyone at this clinic is wonderful! Dr. Plosker is patient and answers any questions. Diane at the front desk is always friendly and helpful. Dennelle always makes me laugh and feel at ease; she truly makes blood draws pleasant. Susie is very gentle, always ensures I am comfortable, and addresses my concerns carefully. Jordan is very helpful with all my questions about medications and the IVF schedule. Elanie was extremely helpful whenever I had countless pricing questions. I am grateful to work with such an excellent team that made me feel supported during this important journey.

    I had a wonderful experience at Shady Grove Fertility. From the moment I entered, I was treated with kindness and respect. Diane at the front desk was welcoming and made check-in smooth and stress-free. MA Dennelle was attentive and supportive, helping me feel comfortable throughout the visit. Nurse Susie was compassionate and thorough, patiently answering all my questions and ensuring I felt well cared for. Dr. Plusker was outstanding—professional, patient, and genuinely committed to helping me. Every team member worked together to provide excellent service, and I am very grateful for the positive experience. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking fertility care.
    Sep 25, 2025
    Great facility and excellent service. Auri made me feel very comfortable! Even when I arrived upset after receiving bad news, she got me talking and lifted my spirits. She made me feel at ease during my blood draw. Thank goodness I am one step closer in my surrogacy journey!
    Sep 24, 2025
    I rarely visit the Brandon office because it is far from me. I have had many ultrasounds, saline sonograms, and similar procedures. Anyone who is undergoing or has undergone them knows how uncomfortable pelvic exams can be. I have had very bad experiences before that were somewhat traumatic. Today, however, was completely different. From the moment I reached the front desk, Diane was friendly and helpful and made me feel very comfortable. I also saw Dennels, whom I often saw at another Shady Grove location. Her warmth, bright smile, and attentive care at every visit gave my day a wonderful start. Last but equally important was Susie, the nurse practitioner. Compared with the many procedures I have had before, I cannot express how pleasant the entire experience was. She was knowledgeable and approachable and carefully addressed all my concerns based on my past experiences. She did not rush and ensured I was as comfortable as possible during an uncomfortable procedure. She made sure I understood everything I needed to know. Her kind, welcoming manner also made today’s experience much easier. Thank you all so much. Dr. Plosker and his team are absolutely the best choice for me. I hope this review helps other patients like me.

    I am sitting in my car after my first appointment at Shady Grove in Brandon. It was an excellent experience. Dennelle was very friendly and drew my blood on the first try, which is usually difficult for me! Susie was wonderful. She was very gentle, and I never felt rushed. The clinic was also clean.
    Oct 14, 2025
    Great facility, but patients should research their own financial responsibility. Before my appointment, I received a call saying I would only need to pay a $60 copay. I later received a bill for more than $1000, and insurance covered none of the procedure costs. I wish they had told me in advance, but they said I would only owe a $60 copay. Update October 14, 2025: I sent an email, but the issue remains unresolved. I received one reply and then heard nothing further.
    Oct 7, 2025
    Dennelle was a pleasure to work with and has an excellent bedside manner. I like our facility and everyone who works here. I always feel comfortable, and my questions are usually answered promptly.
    Nov 5, 2025
    I called the Brandon office with questions about semen analysis. The receptionist's attitude made me feel that my questions were foolish. I wish the person answering the phone had shown more understanding toward someone like me who is just beginning to learn about the process.
    Oct 23, 2025
    I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Plosker and his outstanding nurse, Nicole. Under their care, I successfully completed 2 egg-freezing cycles. From day one, they made me feel confident, supported, and completely at ease. I am at an age when fertility can feel frightening and even overwhelming, but they made the entire process easy. Dr. Plosker performed my first procedure, and everything went very smoothly. He is calm, professional, and exceptionally thorough. He is the kind of doctor who makes you feel safe and genuinely heard. His expertise and compassion are unmatched. Nicole was the heart of the experience. She has everything you could hope for in a nurse: warmth, encouragement, and incredible responsiveness. She guided me through every step with great patience and empathy, answered countless questions, proactively checked in, and made a complicated medical process feel personal and even uplifting. She genuinely cares about her patients, and it shows in every interaction. It had been a long time since I received such high-quality, personalized medical care. Shady Grove Fertility has a strong national reputation, and the Brandon/Tampa team fully lives up to it. Dr. Plosker's expertise, Nicole's exceptional care, and the staff at both clinics gave me a team I could trust with something so important.

    All the staff were wonderful today—warm, caring, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this facility, and its location is excellent! Go Team Brandon!!!!
    Nov 21, 2025
    Susie, the nurse practitioner, is the absolute sweetest! She is patient and answers any questions you may have. Jordan, the RN, is also amazing and takes the time to write out all the instructions and ensure you understand the next steps. The team at SG Brandon is wonderful.
    Nov 19, 2025
    Susie, Jordan, Diane, all the medical assistants at the Brandon clinic, and Dr. Plosker are wonderful. They are warm and thoughtful, take time to listen to your needs, and let you fully express your wishes. Medical care can be stressful, but they make it much easier! I enjoy visiting this clinic because they are efficient, helpful, and responsive. Thank you for everything you have done for me over the past year and more! Highly recommended!
    Nov 19, 2025
    The Brandon clinic is amazing! I had an excellent experience here. Susie is wonderful with patients. She explains everything she does in detail and always takes the time to educate patients. She is also very kind! Everyone I encountered at the clinic was wonderful. Trying to conceive is difficult enough, so it is especially valuable when a clinic helps reduce the stress.
    Feb 14, 2026
    5 stars specifically for the ultrasound tech, Suzy. She was so great, very kind and asked before doing anything. As someone who’s had a rough experience at OBGYNs in the past, this fertility clinic having such a gentle ultrasound tech meant a lot.
    Feb 14, 2026
    Our experience at this clinic was disappointing. Although the staff were always kind and polite, the level of disorganization was concerning, especially for a fertility clinic where timing is critical. Almost every appointment involved a scheduling issue or miscommunication. Most frustratingly, my hysteroscopy/hysterosalpingogram (HSG) was rescheduled one hour before my planned arrival because we had not received the necessary pre-procedure instructions. This was stressful and entirely avoidable. There were also problems with lab orders. Some tests discussed and agreed upon during appointments were omitted, and we only learned at our final meeting with the doctor that they had never been performed. In fertility care, missed tests and scheduling problems can significantly affect an already sensitive process. Our nurse Ashley was kind and apologized when issues arose. However, the repeated mistakes and poor communication made it difficult to trust the clinic's overall coordination of care. Despite this, we are very grateful that the process gave us answers about two medical findings that may help explain my history of miscarriage. We will always appreciate that.
    Feb 2, 2026
    The staff are friendly and professional, and appointments are quick and convenient. Jordan always responds promptly, and Dr. Plosker is very kind.
    Jan 29, 2026
    My experience so far? 1. They violated my HIPAA rights. They have admitted this. 2. They canceled my partner's testing appointments twice, both times on the day of the appointment. She is a federal employee with very limited time off. So far, the money is gone and nothing has been accomplished. I will update my review if the organization changes. For now, it has been an enormous headache.
    Jan 27, 2026
    Everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming. I love it.
    Mar 10, 2026
    They were very helpful and responded to questions quickly. I was very satisfied with the entire experience. I had previously visited another fertility clinic, but it did not feel as reassuring as Shady Grove. Dr. Plosker was very patient and answered all our questions.
    Mar 4, 2026
    My wife and I have had a great experience so far with this clinic. We were able to get answers on why we’ve had trouble conceiving which is really reassuring. Everyone has truly been awesome! Diane is always great at the front. Ashley breezed us through testing and was always available to answer our questions. Susie was beyond amazing and gentle with my wife. Cecilia always has a smile on her face. Jordan has been fantastic as my nurse and Dr. Plosker has been phenomenal. You can tell he really cares for his patients. Elenie was also very knowledgeable with explaining our insurance and expected costs for our treatment plan. All in all, this team has been great. We’re looking forward to the day we have our baby!
    Feb 24, 2026
    I truly cannot express how grateful I am for this clinic. From start to finish, everyone made me feel welcome, supported, and cared for. Diane and Krista at the front desk were wonderful—kind, patient, and positive. Medical assistant Cecilia was warm and attentive and made sure I was fully prepared before my appointment. My primary care consultant, Ashley, was exceptional. I was nervous during the procedure, but she made me feel very relaxed. After every visit, she checked on me, made sure I was doing well, and patiently answered all my questions. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients, which means so much. Nurse practitioner Susie was also excellent. She put me at ease, listened carefully to my concerns, and was thoroughly prepared. She patiently explained every step clearly and ensured I remained comfortable throughout. Her empathy was remarkable. My nurse, Jordan, was attentive and gentle throughout the process and made me feel reassured. I greatly appreciate her support. I also want to thank financial counselor Tori, who explained my benefits in detail and made the process simple and stress-free. Dr. Plosker and Dr. Sakar went above and beyond. Their care, attention to detail, and professionalism exceeded my expectations. This clinic sets the standard for patient care. I felt very well cared for.
    Feb 17, 2026
    Great team! Very professional! Love them!
    Mar 27, 2026
    I am immensely grateful to Dr. Plosker, nurse Jordan, and everyone at Shady Grove Fertility. Infertility is not easy, but having a highly skilled doctor like Dr. Plosker and such a supportive SGF team made the journey much easier. Dr. Plosker is knowledgeable, kind, and deeply compassionate. From the beginning, he put me at ease and patiently answered every question in detail. His passion for his work and genuine care for patients are clear. Jordan was equally exceptional: gentle, patient, thoughtful, and extremely supportive. She always reviewed my laboratory results with me carefully and ensured I understood every step of treatment. I will always be grateful for their attentive care, compassion, and dedication. 💛
    May 15, 2026
    I have really enjoyed working with the Shady Grove Brandon team. My nurse Nicole is wonderful—courteous, responsive, and patient in explaining every step. IVF can be challenging, but having such an excellent team beside me made everything much easier.
    May 13, 2026
    The fertility journey brings intense emotions, physical hardship, and stress. SGF supports you at every step and does its best to make welcoming new life easier. The entire team works closely with you to provide the best chance of conception. If you come here, trust that you are in the right place and trust the process. If you are undecided, do your research and schedule a consultation; you may find this is exactly the team you want.
    May 13, 2026
    When it comes to fertility treatments it can be scary and overwhelming. There are so many moving parts and it’s important to have a team that you can trust and rely on. Luckily for my husband and I we found just that at Shady Grove Fertility. Dr. Plosker is extremely knowledgeable and walked us through our options while giving us his professional advice on which path would be best for us. We definitely felt more at ease after meeting with him. Our nurse coordinator Nicole was phenomenal! She always kept us updated, responded to any questions in a timely manor and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She truly went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t have gone through this process without her. We cannot thank you enough! Every staff member that we encountered was compassionate and provided us with such a positive experience! I would highly recommend Shady Grove to anyone in need :)
    May 12, 2026
    Dr. Plosker, his nurse Jordan, and my financial counselor Eleni were all amazing! I am so grateful that my family was in their care and for everything they did to help us build our family. I will always be grateful for all they did!
    May 5, 2026
    I have had several appointments at the Brandon location, and the staff have been very kind and helpful every time!

    我们目前正在与萨卡尔医生及其团队合作，以实现组建家庭的愿望。她和她的团队非常专业、友善、体贴、支持我们，并在各个方面都给予了我们极大的帮助。与他们合作的整个过程都非常顺利愉快。
    Jun 6, 2026
    我今天去看了医生，咨询了一下——我对 Plosker 医生的专业精神、后续跟进和友善态度印象深刻。
    Jun 5, 2026
    没有他们，我们根本不可能生下孩子！普洛斯克医生和乔丹在整个过程中都给予了我们极大的帮助和支持，直到我们成功迎来宝宝。
    May 20, 2026
    我强烈推荐Plosker医生、Nicole、Susie以及Shady Grove Fertility诊所的所有工作人员。他们心地善良，医术精湛。我们非常感激他们。
    Nov 3, 2025
    Cori is amazing! She is very attentive and always available to answer my many questions. Her passion for helping patients is clear. She has made the process much easier and gone above and beyond. Nalida is very patient and compassionate and has been extremely helpful with finances—she spent a great deal of time explaining the cost breakdown in detail so I fully understood every charge and what to expect. With Cori and Nalida's help, my IVF journey has been wonderful so far.
    Nov 24, 2025
    My experience at Shady Grove was amazing! Everyone I met was kind and caring, and they genuinely take time to care about each person. Communication was also excellent and reassured us at every stage. They are angels on earth! I am very grateful for their attentive care and the successful outcome!

    Apparently, they are "not open yet," even though they publicly advertise online that they are open.

    We are incredibly pleased with the exceptional care we received at Sady Grove Fertility in Sarasota. From the first consultation, the team provided clear timelines and kept everything on track without any delays. They made sure we had all the information we needed and were always available to answer our questions, ensuring we fully understood the process. Dr. Sarkar and the entire staff at the clinic were compassionate, understanding, and caring throughout our journey. Their dedication and personalized approach made us feel supported every step of the way.
    Jan 21, 2026
    Words cannot describe how exceptional Dr. Plosker and the entire Shady Grove team are! I had some unpleasant medical experiences in the past, but Shady Grove's excellence and welcoming atmosphere impressed me. Everyone communicates well, and you never feel that your questions are a burden. They provide timely updates so you always know what is happening. After our first consultation with Dr. Plosker, my husband and I got into the car and agreed that he was absolutely the right doctor for us. He explains conditions extremely well, patiently answers every question, and makes you feel comfortable and reassured. The world needs more doctors like him. We visited several Shady Grove locations for different appointments, and everyone we met was outstanding. Our patient care coordinator Ashley made the initial testing process seamless and worked hard to schedule appointments at the most convenient times. Her positive attitude made an intimidating process much easier. My nurse Nicole communicated exceptionally well, explained things clearly, and never made questions feel like a burden. She kept everything organized and clearly cared deeply about her patients. Erinie and Rachel were also wonderful and did everything possible to make the process easy and convenient. I highly recommend this clinic and team!
    Jan 4, 2026
    After struggling with infertility for more than three years, seeing countless fertility doctors, and having over five consultations, I finally feel confident choosing Shady Grove. They made me feel valued, understood, and at ease, and I trust that they genuinely have my best interests at heart. Dr. Sarkar, Jelisa, Cori, and Lanita are all wonderful and a pleasure to work with! I finally feel that I may have the baby my husband and I have prayed for, and I cannot imagine a better team to help us achieve that dream!
    Jan 2, 2026
    My husband and I have been on a long and difficult journey with infertility for the past 18 months, marked by two heartbreaking miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. During that time, I often felt discouraged and overwhelmed. In my search for clinics and doctors, I struggled with the feeling of being just another number—someone whose pain and hopes weren’t truly seen or understood. That all changed when we found Dr. Sarkar and our incredible nurse, Cori, at SGF. From the very first appointment, they treated us with such compassion, patience, and genuine care. They took the time to explain every step, every dosage, and every symptom, never rushing us or making us feel like our concerns were too small. Their attentiveness gave me peace of mind during moments when anxiety could have easily taken over. What stood out most was how deeply they made us feel seen. In a process that can feel so clinical and isolating, Dr. Sarkar and Cori brought warmth, humanity, and encouragement. They celebrated small victories with us, reassured us through setbacks, and created an environment where we felt safe and supported. Thanks to their expertise and kindness, we are now joyfully graduating from SGF at 8 weeks pregnant! This milestone feels nothing short of miraculous, and we are filled with gratitude and excitement for the future. I wholeheartedly recommend SGF—and especially Dr. Sarkar and Nurse Cori—to anyone seeking not only excellent medical care but also a team that will walk beside you with empathy, dedication, and love. They turned one of the hardest chapters of our lives into a story of hope and healing, and we will forever be thankful!!

    Patient care coordinator Jelisa Hird is amazing! She communicates very clearly and always keeps you updated at every stage of treatment. She handles everything personally and makes sure you never feel lost during the process. She patiently answered all my questions and ensured I fully understood. In addition to being professional and efficient, she is kind, thoughtful, and helpful.
    Jan 29, 2026
    The service at this clinic is wonderful. My nurse, Cory, was patient and thoughtful throughout. I also saw Dr. Sarkar at nearly every appointment, which I greatly appreciated—it made me feel valued and reassured rather than like just another patient. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking fertility treatment.
    Mar 5, 2026
    Everyone at SGF Lakewood Ranch is wonderful! From onboarding with Jelisa to Cori and Dr. Sarkar, the team is responsive and helpful. We appreciate their care and support!
    Mar 4, 2026
    Today I officially graduated from the clinic. I am 8 weeks pregnant, progressing well, and full of gratitude. I deeply thank Dr. Rachel Sprague in St. Petersburg, Dr. Papri Sarkar in Sarasota, and the entire team. From welcoming receptionists and nurses who patiently answered every question to financial staff who clearly explained every detail, everyone made this journey supported and less frightening. For months, every concern was addressed with patience, compassion, and professionalism. This emotional, meaningful journey felt carefully supported at every step. Thank you for making it possible. I will always be grateful.

    The Sarasota clinic is wonderful! I appreciate Shady Grove opening south of Skyway so I need not travel far. It is clean and always sees me on time or early. Staff are welcoming. Dr. Sarkar is kind, thoughtful, and skilled, initiated conversation, and patiently explained my ultrasound images. Thank you for an excellent visit!
    Feb 22, 2026
    We are consulting Dr. Sarkar about IVF. She understood our situation, carefully reviewed our experience, gave detailed information based on treatment and results, and spent considerable time explaining what comes next. Thank you to her and her team!
    Apr 3, 2026
    I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this clinic. From the beginning, I felt exceptionally cared for and supported and knew I was in the best hands. Dr. Sack is an outstanding doctor. She is knowledgeable and compassionate and made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. I trusted her completely with one of the most important journeys of my life. Her nurse, Corey, was also excellent. She always kept everything organized, responded quickly, and was patient and kind whenever she answered the phone. Communication was seamless, which was especially important during an emotional and stressful time. Technician Victoria greeted me with a smile at every visit. Her warmth and positivity were contagious and made every appointment easier. The stimulation phase before egg retrieval was difficult for me, but the team's support and guidance helped me through it. My first fresh embryo transfer was ultimately very successful, and I now have two perfect embryos waiting for the future. I am incredibly grateful to this clinic and everyone who works there. They made a challenging journey supportive, hopeful, and ultimately successful. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone undergoing IVF.

    Today was my first visit to the Sarasota office. Everyone was so warm and attentive that the whole experience was pleasant. I would give them 10 stars if I could, but the maximum is only 5.

    Shady Grove is efficiently organized, with exceptionally qualified staff, and provides excellent medical care. Patient care coordinator Jelisa Hird is a treasure and extremely kind. As a new patient, Jelisa helped me navigate this exciting yet challenging time. I wish every clinic ran as efficiently as Shady Grove and had someone like Jelisa. Jelisa is a valuable asset and a tremendous help to the clinic.

    Dennelle was great taking our blood and making my wife who is nervous comfortable

    I sincerely want to thank my fertility nurse, Cori Boode. She was truly amazing throughout my IVF treatment. The process was not easy, but she remained positive and supportive and stood by me at every step. I also work in healthcare and have a very busy schedule, with ultrasounds and blood tests almost every day, so I deeply appreciated how hard she worked to accommodate me. She went above and beyond to help me understand my options, explained everything in plain language, and made time to help even when I was busiest. That meant a great deal to me. What stands out most is how responsive and organized she is. She follows up, proactively checks on me, and never makes me feel like “just another patient.” She is highly organized and attentive to detail, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and their outcomes. On difficult days, she brought comfort and calm; on successful days, she celebrated with me. You can tell she truly understands how difficult it is to balance IVF and work, and she treats people with empathy and kindness. I am extremely grateful for her and everything she did for me. She is exactly the nurse I hoped for on this journey 🤍 Special thanks also to SGF’s best financial counselor, Niki Copenhaver. She was tremendously helpful throughout IVF. IVF is already stressful, especially when managing financial pressure over several consecutive cycles, but Niki made everything easier to understand and manage. She took the time to truly listen, not only as a counselor but like a friend who genuinely cared. During this very stressful period, her patience, clear explanations, and kindness meant so much to me. Having someone as positive, reassuring, and caring as her was essential during an overwhelming process. The IVF field needs more people like Niki. I am immensely grateful for her support and guidance. She was one of the kindest and most encouraging people I encountered on this journey.

    First, I want to say that I deeply regret not finding SGF sooner. As far as I know, few fertility clinics offer both a patient portal and health education. The SGF staff are excellent. Yarimil and Jelisa at the front desk are both professional and kind. Victoria is outstanding at drawing blood! She helped me relax and found my vein on the first try. Every staff member I communicated with was professional and helpful. During the consultation, Dr. Sarkar listened carefully to our needs and developed a treatment plan. He also provided health education to help us understand the process and answered all our questions.
    Apr 22, 2026
    Dr. Sarkar and her assistant are both very kind and helpful!
    Apr 16, 2026
    My husband and I had an excellent experience at SGF! During our visits to the LWR office, we felt heard and cared for. Dr. Sarkar is a very special doctor who genuinely cares about her patients. We are very grateful to the entire team!

    杰丽莎在整个过程中都给予了我们极大的帮助，回复迅速。我们感觉整个过程非常轻松顺畅。
    Jun 1, 2026
    我无法用言语来表达我对Shady Grove Fertility团队的感激之情。接受生育治疗的过程就像坐过山车一样，但这个团队让我和我的丈夫在每一步都感受到了无比的支持。 Sarkar医生非常出色，她为我付出了很多。她总是随时接听电话，和我讨论各种方案，这让我安心了很多。在经历了一次令人沮丧的周期取消后，她完美地调整了一切。正因为她量身定制的治疗方案，我才成功进行了两次取卵，而且Sarkar医生亲自参与了两次手术，这对我来说意义非凡。 我的护士Cori简直太棒了。她总是那么开朗、快乐，知识渊博，而且对我的所有问题都耐心十足。其他工作人员也同样出色、专业、友善。 我们现在正等待几周后开始冷冻胚胎移植（FET），我对我们所得到的照顾感到无比满意。如果您正在寻找一支真正关心您的团队，那就别再犹豫了！
    May 29, 2026
    在整个过程中，Courtney 和 Cori 是我们合作最多的两个人。她们都非常友善、支持我们，而且沟通顺畅，这在可能非常紧张的整个过程中起到了至关重要的作用。我们衷心感谢她们一路以来的友善和及时回应。

    蒂安娜帮我做的血液检查太棒了！整个过程快速又无痛！
    Jun 26, 2026
    我与这个超棒的团队合作，体验简直太棒了！特别要感谢我的财务顾问妮基 (Niki)。她总是回复迅速，乐于助人，让一切都变得轻松许多。还要特别感谢我的生育护士协调员科里 (Cori)。她真的太棒了！她总是及时回复我的门户网站消息，而且从不吝啬解答我所有的问题（有时甚至有点傻）。最后，但同样重要的是，萨卡尔医生 (Dr. Sarkar) 也非常出色。从我踏进她诊室的那一刻起，她就一直非常友善、支持我，并在整个过程中给予我很多专业的指导。我真心感谢这个团队为我所做的一切。强烈推荐！💙

    Jun 13, 2026
    我们在Shady Grove的体验非常棒。整个过程中，每个人都非常友善和乐于助人。我强烈推荐他们。
    Jun 12, 2026
    我推荐这家诊所，因为他们的医护人员服务周到细致。我见到了Jelisa、Niki、Cori和Sarka医生，她们知识渊博、专业敬业，而且非常关心病人。 我昨天在坦帕诊所做了输卵管造影检查（HSG），原本以为是Sarka医生亲自操作，但她当时很忙，所以换了另一位护士。如果非要挑剔的话，这大概就是我唯一的小遗憾了。 感谢萨拉索塔团队的辛勤付出！
    Jun 9, 2026
    我太喜欢这家店了！他们办事效率超高。前台的女士非常热情，负责抽血的蒂安娜人也特别好，很有耐心，因为我特别怕针。

    If you are a woman over 40, I do not recommend Dr. Celso Silva. Both of our IVF egg retrievals with him failed, and aside from the results, his treatment plans and feedback were generic at best. Since changing clinics, we have learned about various techniques and adjunct medications that might have improved our past outcomes and hopefully will help in the future. It is far too expensive to feel that your doctor does not have your best interests at heart. We were also denied a female doctor at the clinic after feeling that Dr. Silva might not be the right fit for us. The front desk and nursing staff were excellent.
    Jun 27, 2025
    I still have a long journey ahead, but so far it has been a pleasure working with Dr. Silva and my patient care coordinator, Raffaella. Raffaella makes sure to stay in touch, informs me of upcoming appointments, and lets me know as soon as results and next steps are available. I am glad I switched to Shady Grove because at my previous clinic I always had to call for updates, and they were consistently slow to respond.
    Jun 13, 2025
    Back again after two years. Dennelle E. is amazing! I was fortunate to have her in the lab, and she made my visit easy, friendly, and relaxed. She is a genuinely good person. I hope she always keeps that spirit because it helped me tremendously! The women at the front desk are wonderful. The staff here are always helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. I am glad this is my office.
    Jun 12, 2025
    I spoke with Ann in the finance department, and she clearly explained the treatment costs and answered all my questions. At my first visit I also met Dr. Imudia, who reassured me that despite my “unexplained infertility,” treatment was possible and he would be with us throughout the process. I am excited to continue our journey to grow our family, and I believe the SGF team can help us achieve that goal!

    Extremely satisfied with this facility, they gave us our now 1 year old daughter (after 2 failed attempts in another center and 1 failed attempt here) and now my wife is pregnant with our to be second baby. It was a challenging case and Dr Sprague was confident and supportive throughout the process. Forever grateful to the whole team to make this happen and have such a great positive impact in our life. Thank you!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
    Jul 14, 2025
    My experience at Shady Grove was better than I ever thought it could be. Dr. Silva made me feel comfortable from the very beginning & answered every question I had before I even asked. All the staff; the medical technicians, the nurses, the doctors; they were all very supportive and compassionate throughout my journey. I am just over 9 weeks pregnant now! I highly recommend Shady Grove.
    Jul 10, 2025
    I visited both the Tampa and St. Petersburg clinics, and both were wonderful! I had my procedure at SGF Tampa, and Melissa, Julie, Maria, Dr. Sprague, Katie, and Diana made me feel very comfortable and well cared for throughout the process!

    Part#2 We were planning on going to a completely different office, which was an hour away (St. Pete or Wesley Chapel) with different people/ same company. But the doctor of the office that we originally went to ( Dr. Plosker) was so distraught, that he wanted to make sure that we would be unable to see anyone at their practice ever again. I took a deep breath and sighed, while I was on the phone with Dr. Klokker. I explained to him and reminded him of the incident day (transfer day), very vividly in detail of what took place. I explained to him how my embryologist initially failed me by not following their own protocols. How the original plan was altered and sent me on an emotional roller coaster with tons of questions that were never answered by staff or him. How the embryologist failed to show me how she was able to thaw an embryo in 30 minutes after she told me it was impossible and then had the audacity to be upset with me, because I made a review. I explained to him (Dr. Plosker) that his office has many counterparts and that working together is essential. This is the way I addressed his insinuation of me being a liar. I thought to myself he wasn’t even in the procedure room or in the office that day. I was his patient with a concern. He never followed up or addressed my concerns, but only called me a liar. Heartbreaking. Now we are being punished and not allowed to go to any office anywhere with Shady Grove Fertility. He worked together with their offices to silence my voice, my questions and concerns as though it never happened. Today, for us, there is no accountability at Shady Grove. They may not hear your complaints, depending on what they are. If any problems arise, it just might be swept under the rug. If any mistakes are made, they might be covered up. If you complain, you might become the villain. I pray that whoever goes to this company is aware of the Brandon office. It’s sad we had to find this out the hard way in our journey. Blessings and baby dust to all trying to conceive. This is already a hard journey. Praying and wishing all the best.

    Part #2. . It didn’t bother me that he tried to crush our spirits. It bothered me that my husband‘s effort, that he put in, thinking if he deleted the reviews, that they would consider us as a patient.

    Words cannot express how positive my experience was working with Ann, a financial counselor at Shady Grove. Managing the financial aspects of fertility treatment can feel overwhelming and stressful, but from the beginning she made the entire process clear and manageable. Ann took the time to explain every detail and patiently answered all my questions, no matter how minor. It was clear that she genuinely cared and wanted to ease my financial burden as much as possible during an emotionally difficult time. Her compassion meant so much to me. I am very grateful to her!
    Jul 22, 2025
    We truly enjoyed our experience at Shady Grove. The personalized care and attention they provided far exceeded our expectations. Our nurse Sam was always responsive and provided excellent service, making our time at Shady Grove a very positive experience.
    Jul 19, 2025
    Our experience at Shady Grove Fertility was unmatched. From the beginning, we felt supported, heard, and genuinely cared for throughout this life-changing journey. Special thanks to Nelida Rolon, whose guidance, empathy, and professionalism were invaluable. She was always available, very kind, and made the entire process clear and easy to understand. Her warmth and dedication reassured us during uncertain moments and made us feel like more than patients—we felt like people she genuinely cared about. We are deeply grateful for her attentive care, attention to detail, and emotional support. This experience filled us with hope and confidence as we took another step toward growing our family. Thank you, Shady Grove, and thank you, Nelida—you have made a profound difference in our lives.
    Aug 1, 2025
    Do not go here! They do not care about their patients when they are going through a miscarriage or offer sufficient medical advice. They treat you like a number not an individual.
    Jul 25, 2025
    I cannot praise Alta, Kayla, and Ana at Shady Grove Fertility enough. From the moment you enter the clinic, you feel genuine warmth, kindness, and professionalism. They go above and beyond to make every visit as smooth and comfortable as possible, which means so much during an often heartbreaking journey. Whether scheduling appointments, answering questions, or simply offering a reassuring smile, they consistently show compassion and care. Their attention to detail and positive attitudes truly set the tone for the entire experience. It is clear that they sincerely care about every patient who walks through the door, and that makes all the difference. Thank you for playing such an important role in this journey. Your support does not go unnoticed!
    Jul 25, 2025
    Ann, the financial educator, contacted me today and was wonderful. She was very kind and helpful. My nurse, Raven, is also incredibly sweet, always friendly and patient. I truly appreciate how these women treat their patients. Five stars for both of them 😍
    Aug 9, 2025
    We had success at Shady Grove several years ago and have now returned. Nelida is an excellent financial counselor—kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. When she discovered an insurance problem, she was determined to solve it that day and spent nearly the entire afternoon resolving everything. I am very grateful. My nurse DeNita has been gentle, thoughtful, and attentive to my treatment, making her wonderful to work with. Dr. Silva is excellent: experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and positive.
    Aug 26, 2025
    Everyone at SGF is kind and welcoming. Dennelle drew my husband's blood and was wonderful!
    Aug 26, 2025
    I love Ana and Kayla at the Tampa Westshore front desk!! They are always warm, friendly, and professional and make me comfortable at appointments! :)
    Aug 23, 2025
    I thank the entire SGF team. IVF was a long, difficult process, but thanks to God and the help of Dr. Celso Silva and his team, including my nurse Samantha Snyder, RN, we succeeded. Thank you for your patience and time.
    Aug 22, 2025
    My experience was excellent! My dedicated nurse Samantha was attentive, listened carefully, and answered every question. They helped me find suitable appointment dates and times. The experience exceeded expectations. Dr. Silva created an excellent plan, and we trust the team and hope to share a successful baby story soon. I highly recommend SGF Tampa!
    Aug 22, 2025
    Kayla and Anna at the front desk are always kind, even during difficult moments. They make the office experience very welcoming.

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

    I want to thank my coordinator, Laura L, for her excellent work. She is very kind, always helpful, and patient when explaining everything. Her dedication is clear because she is always ready to provide any support I need. She truly made an important difference, and I greatly appreciate her commitment.

    I love this clinic ❤️ Everyone is kind, understanding, and helpful. They truly made the difficult experience of infertility easier. Dennelle especially makes me laugh every time I see her. Infertility is always difficult, so it is wonderful to feel like a normal person and be treated so well by my nurse, the front desk, and my dedicated care team. I highly recommend SGF! You are angels on earth. Thank you for helping me find my baby ❤️

    I began my IVF journey in 2001. Although my previous fertility clinic experience was fairly good, coming to Shady Grove felt like a complete turnaround. From the moment you enter, you receive a warm welcome. Ana, Kayla, and Alta at the front desk are always friendly and happy to answer questions. The phlebotomy team is excellent. Denelle's positivity, efficiency, and warm smile brighten the process. The ultrasound technician was equally wonderful—I have forgotten whether her name was Lindsey or Leslie—and made every visit smooth and reassuring. The doctors are compassionate and attentive, and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Silva. He was wonderful throughout and made me feel carefully supported at every step. My IVF nurse, Samantha, was also a lifesaver, and her ongoing communication and support benefited me tremendously. Although my previous clinic experience was acceptable, starting again at Shady Grove brought me the comfort and calm I needed. If you are considering beginning IVF or simply want a fresh start, this clinic will not disappoint. The entire team goes above and beyond to make a difficult process feel hopeful, and I am grateful to be in their care.
    Sep 14, 2025
    Dr. Silva was absolutely amazing from start to finish! He’s very knowledgeable and makes sure you fully understand all of your options! He also puts the control in the patients hands when it comes to treatment options. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
    Sep 13, 2025
    Laura Gonzalez has been fantastic at communication and making sure my husband and I are always set up with our appointments. She personally reaches out to you and always available with any questions making this process a lot smoother .
    Sep 12, 2025
    Front desk help is heard to find but SGF-Cypress has one of the best. Alta, has been the most acknowledgeable, joyful, and delightful person. She has made my journey with Shady Grove a great experience. I personally feel she made the difference for me to continue my treatment. Thank you for being so personable and willing to help me.
    Sep 9, 2025
    I have been coming here for a little over 3years shady grove is family! I find joy walking through those double doors to see Ana, Alta, and Kayla! They are the best front desk receptionist hands down. They should get a raise! No seriously like a rause or some recognition They always are smiling and joyful and easy to communicate with. I wish they had twins that worked at other facilities that would be amazing to have them at all my appointments. I also love how courteous the MA team is Ingrid , kat, Terri, Auri and Dennelle and others are quick and painless they should all get a raise too! They really know me especially Terri and Ingrid my likes and dislikes.and that speaks volumes My sonographer Leslie is smart knowledgeable and has a smile to light any room .she's definitely the best I love my Dr. doctor silva he's kind he wants to make sure this transfer is successfully completed and we go all the way to having a successful transfer and live birth. I love Samantha too she is the best hands Down and truly understands me ! My care team is family to me it love them all Thank you all for everything you do. We truly appreciate you all
    Sep 9, 2025
    Absolutely amazing! The front desk team is personable and thoughtful, and the staff are wonderful. Thank God I found Shady, Dr. Celso, and the entire team; they are excellent and highly capable. They make you feel at home and truly work miracles in people's lives!
    Sep 17, 2025
    Excellent facility! Ana at the front desk was warm, friendly, and helpful. Nurse Courtney is the best! I love her positive attitude and the way she communicates. I feel very comfortable with her. ♥️
    Sep 17, 2025
    My husband and I chose SGF, and we are very satisfied. Dr. Silva is amazing. She is knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and compassionate. The entire team is very kind. I recommend them 100%, and if we decide to have another child, we will definitely return! Our only complaint is that we did not like the “team care” model. Communication was sometimes poor, and we had to call several times to reach someone. We would have preferred to have one assigned nurse. Overall, we had an excellent experience! Thank you, SGF!
    Sep 16, 2025
    Ana Alta gives my husband and me a warm welcome every time we visit—and we have had far too many appointments by now! When I ask about balances and billing details, she explains them thoroughly and helps me make sense of everything. I hope we will not have to see her so often in the future, but in the meantime, she gives each visit a good start 😊
    Oct 7, 2025
    We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Silva, our nurse Samantha, and the entire SGF Tampa team. I highly recommend them for guiding us through a very difficult journey.
    Oct 3, 2025
    Every visit to either SGF location has brought attentive, reassuring patient care. Since my first day, SGF has given me exceptional support and selfless care. Alta and Kayla at the front desk always greet me with warm smiles and immediately make me feel welcome. The rest of the staff also go above and beyond with compassionate, thoughtful care. I am deeply grateful for the consistently excellent service and kindness here.
    Oct 2, 2025
    My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Shady Grove Tampa. The staff were kind and welcoming. Dr. Silva helped us achieve one of our greatest dreams and kept us believing that we would have a child no matter what it took. He is genuinely thoughtful and caring. Our nurse Samantha also made the experience wonderful; she patiently answered our questions and never made us feel they were unreasonable. Thank you again to everyone at Shady Grove Tampa! 🫶

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

    Altagracia did an excellent job.
    Oct 24, 2025
    On my first visit to the Tampa clinic, I met Kayla downstairs. She was amazing! She helped me find the clinic, checked me in, and even walked me to my appointment. She was friendly and welcoming throughout, making my first visit very pleasant.
    Oct 24, 2025
    This journey was not easy, but I am deeply grateful for the team's efforts! After discovering that my first transfer resulted in an ectopic pregnancy, I transferred to the care of Dr. Silva and his wonderful nurse Samantha. Their care was absolutely first-rate! My previous experience with other teams did not come close to the compassion, help, and information they provided. Samantha made me feel that I was not alone and that no question was unwelcome. Susie was also wonderful. From day one, she performed all my scans with a gentle, caring manner. I highly recommend this team.
    Oct 23, 2025
    Words cannot express my wonderful experience with Shady Grove Fertility and Dr. Plosker's team. I successfully completed two egg-freezing cycles and felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for from start to finish. Dr. Plosker is wonderful! He is calm, knowledgeable, and approachable. He patiently guided me through the entire process, helping me feel confident and secure in my decisions. His nurse Nicole was equally outstanding. She patiently answered all my questions and responded quickly, making an otherwise overwhelming process much easier. On procedure day, I was surrounded by an excellent team who made me feel completely at ease. Many thanks to Katie (preoperative/postoperative), John (anesthesiologist), Olivia (operating room), Melissa (operating room), Chrissy (supervisor), and Ana (secretary). Everyone was professional, attentive, and positive, creating a very encouraging atmosphere. Dr. Sarkar was also outstanding during the procedure, and I felt very safe in her care. Special thanks as well to Ana at the front desk, who was always so welcoming. Her kindness set the tone from the moment you entered. If you are considering fertility preservation, this is the team you want. I am deeply grateful to everyone at Shady Grove for their compassion, professionalism, and humanity. I truly had an excellent experience.
    Oct 20, 2025
    Excellent service! Ana was wonderful, made morning check-in very easy, and accommodated my last-minute appointment.
    Nov 20, 2025
    I returned here after many years away from Guam, and the front desk team welcomed me warmly. Kayla, Alta, and Ana were efficient, helpful, and very kind. I sincerely appreciate their professionalism and the positive atmosphere they created for my visit!
    Nov 20, 2025
    I had a wonderful experience at Shady Grove! Dr. Silva and the educational videos were extremely helpful. I knew exactly what to expect and felt the team was always ready to answer my questions. Everyone was warm and attentive, and my nurse Samantha made me feel at ease throughout. I highly recommend Shady Grove to anyone considering egg freezing!
    Nov 15, 2025
    Shady Grove is wonderful! The staff provide excellent service, make you feel relaxed, and are all exceptional. Special thanks to Mathyk, Lesley, and Danielle!
    Nov 14, 2025
    Danielle is amazing! She is very kind, has an infectious personality, and most importantly is an expert at finding veins. My veins are small and sometimes difficult to access. She always finds the right spot on the first try, and I feel nothing—even though I am extremely afraid of needles!! Thank you, Danielle and Shady Grove, for the excellent service and attentive care.

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

    The team at Shady Grove is very professional, helpful, and friendly. My experience here was completely different from my previous care. My nurse Sam was wonderful, and Nicole W. and Jordan W. were also very helpful. Dennelle made me feel at ease during blood draws and kept the experience pleasant. Overall, the staff and Dr. Silva genuinely care about their patients. I am very glad I chose this clinic!

    Wonderful experience.

    Danielle was wonderful! The blood draw was quick and painless. She was funny and made me feel at ease.
    Dec 24, 2025
    Working with Dennelle was wonderful! The process was efficient and pleasant. Ingrid and Dr. Mathyk were also very kind and a pleasure to work with. Our initial experience with SGF has been excellent so far.
    Dec 21, 2025
    I had to visit while traveling during IUI treatment. Dennelly, the phlebotomist, was wonderful and made my visit very pleasant. She helped me relax and relieved my stress. I cannot wait to return just to hear her laugh again. If all the staff are like her, I feel completely reassured.
    Dec 20, 2025
    I had an excellent experience at Shady Grove Fertility today, and my phlebotomist Daniella was outstanding. If you need blood drawn, ask for her. She is skilled and precise—an experienced professional who is patient, warm, efficient, and positive. I will choose her for every future blood draw. Thank you so much, Daniella; you are the best! Even the front desk staff always greet patients with smiles, warmth, and care. Every visit to Shady Grove Fertility leaves me feeling better because of the attentive care they provide.

    I am preparing for my first egg retrieval and transfer! My experience at the Tampa office has been excellent. I was so excited to see the doctor today at my stimulation day 9 follow-up. Dr. Mathyk was very warm and approachable. She patiently explained the entire process, answered all my questions enthusiastically, and listened carefully to my concerns, which greatly reassured me. I was running low on needles for some medications, and Nurse Ingrid and her team made sure I received everything I needed, plus extras. They were kind, helpful, and went out of their way to care for me. Thank you so much, SGF Tampa!!!

    I previously wrote a review for our patient coordinator, Laura Grullon, but used the wrong name, so I am submitting it again because she deserves recognition for her conscientious and dedicated work. She is a very warm and friendly young woman! She was extremely kind to us and did everything possible to arrange matters quickly so we could begin our fertility journey smoothly, even fitting us in for a last-minute appointment, for which we are very grateful. She empathized with our journey and encouraged us to keep going, which was exactly what we needed after trying to conceive for more than two years. I believe we will succeed this time. Shady Grove, please keep her forever—she is a valuable asset to your team! ✨💕

    The center has a beautiful environment, and Altagracia provides excellent service.

    I had an HSG at this clinic last week, and the experience was excellent! I had undergone the procedure several times before and was nervous, but Kori Lewis, Dr. Mathyk, and Mariah were wonderful and helped me relax. They played music and patiently explained the entire procedure. I highly recommend SGF and their whole team!
    Jan 16, 2026
    At our first consultation, we received warm, thoughtful, compassionate support from start to finish. We are very grateful to Dr. Celso Silva and Laura for their attentive care. They made us feel genuinely cared for and confident that our dream will come true.

    Shady Grove Fertility Tampa holds a very special place in our family's story. They helped us welcome a healthy, happy baby several years ago, and now we have returned hoping to grow our family. From the moment you enter, the entire team creates an atmosphere of hope, care, and confidence. Dr. Silva is exceptional. He is highly skilled and kind, with the rare ability to balance honesty and encouragement perfectly. He makes you feel heard, cared for, and confident in your treatment. Dr. Plosker successfully performed our embryo transfer and made this meaningful, emotional moment calm and reassuring while giving my husband and me tremendous support. The clinic staff are equally excellent. Ana and Kayla welcome you warmly and immediately put you at ease. Physician assistant Cortney is highly supportive and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. My nurse, Chelsea, is organized and attentive and always responds promptly to my questions. Mariah listened patiently to my concerns and thoughtfully prepared me for a procedure I had been nervous about. Susie recently performed a procedure for us and was calm and reassuring, making it much easier than expected. Tori in finance also explained everything in detail and ensured we fully understood and could manage the financial process. Shady Grove Fertility Tampa is an outstanding team that combines medical expertise with genuine care. We are sincerely grateful for their role in helping us build our family.

    I had an excellent experience at SGF. The waiting area and restrooms were always clean and comfortable. Dr. Mathyk was professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Katherine, Stephanie, and the other staff were also friendly, and I looked forward to seeing them at every appointment. The clinic maintains a high standard of service; I never had any problems with medication or communication with the nurses. They were very transparent about the recovery process, making everything go very smoothly. I would recommend SGF to anyone needing egg donation or fertility treatment.
    Feb 11, 2026
    Working with Rafaela was a pleasure. She was responsive and compassionate and did an excellent job. The entire process with her was very smooth.
    Feb 10, 2026
    I did not visit the company in person, but I called customer service, and the representative was warm, helpful, and friendly. She made an excellent impression for the company.
    Mar 10, 2026
    Great place with very friendly, transparent service and clear information. Alta was warm and attentive.

    Chelsea is incredibly helpful and thoughtful! She always keeps everything organized and works very efficiently!
    Mar 8, 2026
    Danielle was amazing! She was working alone but remained very attentive. I am very afraid of needles, but she was skilled and quick. She is wonderful!
    Mar 6, 2026
    Dr. Torrealday is the best doctor I have ever worked with! My oncologist referred me to SGF because I needed chemotherapy and wanted to try freezing my eggs beforehand due to the possible loss of fertility. The clinic staff were incredibly thoughtful. They scheduled me for the next morning, and everyone worked late that day to set up my account and prepare me to begin injections the following day. I needed retrieval quickly, so Dr. Torrealday used a random-start protocol that does not depend on the menstrual cycle and takes only 10–14 days. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire clinic went above and beyond. Every department worked tirelessly to help me, calling repeatedly, dealing with insurance, ordering medication, and more. I have never encountered a medical team as caring and dedicated as Shady Grove. Dr. Torrealday is a treasure in medicine. She is the kindest and most thoughtful doctor, and words cannot express my gratitude. She personally called almost every day to check on me, which I had never experienced. One Saturday, a nurse called with an update that worried me. Dr. Torrealday then called me from her personal phone on her evening off, even though she was not on call, to check on me, explain everything, and reassure me. I never imagined a doctor would offer this level of care or call on a day off simply because she heard I was upset. Anyone who comes here will have an excellent experience. They are truly thoughtful and care deeply about patients. I would give them a hundred stars if I could. Dr. Torrealday can change your life for the better. She retrieved far more eggs than I expected, accurately adjusted my medication dose each day, and timed the retrieval perfectly. I could not be happier. Thank you, Dr. Torrealday and team!

    I was a patient at Shady Grove for two years. Dr. Silvia and her team were excellent. My son was born three weeks ago. I highly recommend them. Nurses Ashley and Chelsea were very helpful throughout the process.
    Apr 10, 2026
    I’ve done my hsg and saline ultrasound with Dr Mathyk and MA Ingrid, they are incredibly kind and reassuring and made them good experiences, thankful for Shady Grove tampa :)

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

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

    I arrived at my scheduled time to provide a sample, and all the staff were very warm and friendly, especially Alta at the front desk. The service was attentive and very helpful.

    Dr. Imudia and Dr. Mathyk were outstanding and very supportive throughout. Together with the front desk staff and medical assistants, they make the best team. Thank you, Tampa team!!!

    I have had the most wonderful experience at Dhady Grove. They are a well-oiled machine and their staff is so friendly and kind day in and day out. I couldn’t recommend them more. Special shout out to one of the nurses, Dennelle, she is GREAT!

    Anna is delightful, with a wonderful personality, and always speaks to patients with a smile. It was the first visit for my wife Fatima and me. Anna's positive attitude gave us hope and patience to continue through treatment while praying for God's blessing and happiness.

    我来这里只是为了衷心感谢你们的抽血师丹妮尔。她非常出色。她不仅医术精湛，而且待人亲切，给我留下了深刻的印象。首先，由于疤痕组织，我右臂的主要静脉穿刺非常疼痛，但她成功地在同一只手臂上找到了替代静脉，而且一次就成功了，没有任何疼痛或并发症。那周晚些时候，她又一次成功地找到了我左臂的静脉，同样没有出现任何并发症或疼痛（自从我九年级以来，就没有人能做到这一点）。她给了我很多建议，在这样一个非常敏感的时期，能成为她的病人让我感到非常荣幸。她是你们诊所的宝贵财富，我们衷心祝愿她一切顺利！上帝保佑你，丹妮尔！谢谢你。 …… 我们给她五星好评，但她值得更高的评价⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    今天我做了盐水输卵管造影，Shady Grove 的整个团队都太棒了！！几年前我去过另一家生育诊所，那次经历简直糟糕透了！尤其是输卵管造影，又疼又难受！因为之前的经历，今天我对盐水输卵管造影非常紧张，但 Matry K 医生和 Adena 让我立刻放松下来！他们认真倾听我的担忧，并全程安抚我。他们一步一步地解释所有步骤，并始终与我保持沟通！整个过程一点也不疼，我真是太感激了！从第一次来 Shady Grove 开始，我就对他们印象深刻。每个人在开始之前都会解释他们正在做什么以及为什么这样做，这在医疗界非常难得！谢谢 Shady Grove！
    Jun 5, 2026
    我想借此机会感谢马蒂克医生和她的助理英格丽德，感谢她们提供的卓越医疗服务。从我到达诊所的那一刻起，她们就让我感到舒适安心。她们都非常友善、尊重人、耐心且专业。 她们对患者的健康关怀显而易见。我对接受的治疗非常满意，一定会推荐她们。她们是一群很棒的人，也是一个杰出的团队！非常感谢你们所做的一切。

    SGF对我和我妻子照顾得无微不至。我们接触到的所有护士和医生都非常出色，前台的Anna更是贴心，有一天早上还特意给我送来了咖啡。
    May 30, 2026
    您好，我很抱歉这样做，但我真的不推荐这家诊所。 我原本预约了2024年10月的咨询，想了解一些信息。结果医生迟到了4-5分钟，而我为了早上7点的预约早起了，所以就无奈地离开了。之后我完全忘记了这家诊所，直到最近才想起来。我想着既然现在已经是2026年了，也许只是个偶然事件，不如再给他们一次机会，下次我再亲自去诊所预约。他们说没问题，也帮我安排好了。结果过了几天，大概4点左右，我既没有收到预约确认邮件，也没有收到任何提醒。我查看了在线应用程序，上面也什么都没有。电话里的女士甚至说会发邮件让我填写新的保险信息，所以我开始有点担心，就给他们发了邮件——结果杳无音信，所以我又留了语音留言。又过了几天，我接到电话说医生因为紧急情况取消了预约，我可以周日早上9点通过远程医疗预约。我想，好啊，何乐而不为呢？这比我原定的预约时间早了4天，而且说不定他们的系统更新了。结果，直到预约当天，我还是没有任何提醒，直到预约当天才收到登录通知——现在来说说实际的预约情况。医生态度很冷淡，根本没给我提供我想要的所有信息，只想赶紧挂断电话。除此之外，他还说会给我一些精子库的信息，还会安排一些实验室检查等等。到现在为止，我还是没收到他们的邮件、短信或电话，也没有人解释到底发生了什么。结果，我的银行竟然给我寄来了一张150美元的账单，除此之外什么都没有。我一直在等他们的任何消息，但什么都没有，我对他们的服务非常失望。
    Jun 25, 2026
    安娜女士会好好照顾你的！这是我在医疗保健机构中经历过的最好的体验。
    Jun 24, 2026
    与Sedtoria Robinson的合作体验非常棒，谢谢！
    Jun 24, 2026
    今天我去了Westshore办公室，Ana的服务非常棒，她非常友善、乐于助人，而且态度始终很好。我们非常感谢她的服务。
    Jun 23, 2026
    Mathyle医生和她的医疗助理A’dena非常体贴，耐心地向我解释了手术的每一个步骤。有了这些信息，我才能平静下来，缓解紧张情绪。我绝对会向任何对手术感到紧张的人推荐她们！
    Jun 23, 2026
    劳拉太棒了！她非常乐于助人，而且沟通能力很强。

    Dr. P was very patient and honest about our options. He listened carefully and helped us make the best decisions for our fertility journey. With his guidance, we welcomed our baby this January. Thank you, Dr. P!
    Dec 22, 2025
    Dr. Plosker was sincere and candid from the start about our options and chances. He spoke to us like a doctor who truly cared about helping us build a family. He honestly shared what he believed was the best option while understanding that the news might not be what we wanted. We trusted his advice, and our sweet baby is due in five weeks. Thank you to Dr. Plosker and the SGF-Brandon and St. Petersburg teams.
    Dec 13, 2025
    We conceived on our first natural attempt thanks to Dr. Polsky and his team. Special thanks to Nicole, the best nurse coordinator. We are deeply grateful.
    Aug 12, 2025
    Words cannot express our gratitude to Dr. Plosker for his exceptional care. From our first consultation, he guided us through our fertility journey with empathy, clarity, and unmatched expertise. His calm, reassuring manner put us at ease during what could have been an emotional and stressful time. Dr. Plosker took time to understand our story and answered every question patiently and honestly. We never felt rushed. He made sure we fully understood every step and felt confident. His personalized approach made us feel like more than patients—we felt seen, heard, and supported throughout. What sets Dr. Plosker apart is not only his extensive knowledge and experience, but also the genuine compassion and kindness he brings to every interaction. His thoughtful approach kept us confident and hopeful throughout treatment. Today, we are overjoyed to be expecting—something we once thought impossible—and know it would not have happened without him and his outstanding team. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Plosker to anyone seeking fertility treatment. He is an exceptional physician and a wonderful person. Thank you, Dr. Plosker, for helping make our dream come true!
    Dec 24, 2022
    Although we conceived naturally, the overall experience was very easy, and the women at the front desk and on the floor were kind and welcoming. Dr. Plosker was also very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend him 100%.
    Apr 24, 2023
    Great experience. The doctor was calm and answered all our questions. He explained the entire process in detail, helping us understand a great deal and feel comfortable with our IVF procedure.

    A year ago, we had our son through IVF with Dr. Plosker. I recommend him to everyone who asks. He is honest, direct, and compassionate. When my nurse could not answer a question, he called and patiently explained it. I had a wonderful experience at SGF Brandon/Tampa.
