    If you are willing to tolerate poor communication, doctors who are always late without warning or apology, and being pushed around, you may have a chance. All the doctors are the same, with only one exception!
    Jun 20, 2025
    Dr. Polotsky at Shady Grove was easy to work with and created a proactive treatment plan for us. After two IVF cycles, we are finally pregnant!
    Jun 19, 2025
    The organization and communication are terrible. I am an oncology patient, and my cancer treatment had to be delayed several times because the clinic failed to contact my insurer promptly.
    Jun 19, 2025
    After my appointment, a representative called me, and I requested an appointment with a financial counselor to understand how to use my insurance and WIN benefits. She said she would escalate the request and notify the counselor. Two more people called about scheduling, obtaining my partner's information, and next steps. I explained that I was waiting for the financial assistance office to explain how WIN benefits worked. Only when a third person called and pressed me for information to begin treatment did he say I needed to schedule through the online portal. I was frustrated that no one told me earlier, but what truly upset me was that after the trauma of miscarriage, the office staff said, “Well, people usually figure out their finances beforehand.” I did not plan to endure a miscarriage or feel hopeless about the future. I sought help, but this place seems to value money, not people. You should care about helping others. I am sorry I had not already figured out something I had never experienced.

    I struggled to conceive naturally for three years. We had poor experiences at other clinics, then found Shady Grove online, and the reviews helped us greatly. Our experience there was excellent. They followed up after every appointment, answered every question and concern, and responded promptly. They truly cared about us.

    You are just a number here. No one seems to remember your treatment plan. Do not expect a return call within a week or a clear, understandable answer. This clinic has really declined since our last attempt to conceive.
    Aug 29, 2025
    I spent $35,000 on one IVF cycle, and you cannot even provide a cup of coffee? Pathetic. Considering how much every patient pays, you should at least provide something basic.
    Aug 23, 2025
    Excellent service and medical staff. Unfortunately, they stopped providing coffee and cookies for patients.

    At 2:00 p.m. on August 18, 2025, the office manager was very rude to me. I had an insurance issue, and she completely disregarded my concerns. That morning, a claim had just been reapproved, showing that I no longer owed Shady Grove the outstanding balance on my account. I told them Anthem would pay within 48 hours, but the manager had the audacity to tell me that Anthem had given me incorrect information on its website and that, from her end, she could see Anthem had denied full payment for the service. She said, "Sometimes that happens. They put the wrong information on your account. I have been tracking the claim on my end, and it was reapproved just this morning, but you still owe money." This was strange because the billing department, two time zones ahead of me, looked at the same claim and said it was still being processed on their end...so was she lying? In any case, she said I would not be able to schedule future appointments at Shady Grove if I did not pay. The next day, the payment was removed from my account because the information in my Anthem account was indeed correct...It felt like I gave her the correct claim number, but she saw the wrong claim information and kept telling me I was wrong. All my anxiety was for nothing. This happened at the front desk during check-in.

    We love Shady Grove. Every staff member is very kind and helpful. Dr. Polotsky helped give us the opportunity to have two children, which would not have been possible without his expertise, patience, and attentiveness.
    Aug 12, 2025
    The worst place for scheduling and coordinating anything. I do not recommend them.
    Nov 7, 2025
    I completed two egg-freezing cycles through the “Assured 20” program with the SGF/Dr. Polotsky team in Greenwood and had an excellent experience. Highly recommended.
    Oct 30, 2025
    They would not even offer an in-person consultation. The woman on the phone was extremely rude and cold. After trying to conceive for three years, I finally saved enough for IVF or IUI, only to be told their age limit was 45 and they accepted only patients considering donor eggs. I had just turned 45. It was heartbreaking.

    Dr. Alex Polotsky, nurse Lauren, and the entire Shady Grove Fertility team helped us realize our dream of building a family. We struggled with infertility for four years, but Dr. Polotsky never gave up on us or our dream. He is thorough, approachable, and always listens carefully. This August, we welcomed our wonderful daughter with Shady Grove Fertility's help. If you are considering this clinic, I highly recommend it! They are excellent and will provide attentive care! :)
    Oct 22, 2025
    Our treatment experience with Dr. Polotsky at Shady Grove was amazing. We highly recommend this clinic!
    Oct 21, 2025
    This clinic's front desk and administration are a disaster. They scheduled an ultrasound despite my dye allergy, then called 20 minutes before the appointment to cancel it. Today I was supposed to have a genetic counseling consultation. I took the day off and paid the fee, but they never sent my genetic test results to the counselor. Front desk staff do not know what they are doing, understand no medical terminology, know none of the tests or procedures, and cannot even pronounce the names of basic imaging tests and procedures offered by the clinic. A disaster!
    Dec 12, 2025
    Absolutely abysmal to their patients. My friend attends this clinic and we are both in healthcare and have been shocked and disturbed at how they treat their patients. There is little to no bedside manner and RNs refuse to interpret labs (saying they are just RNs when many RNs can interpret labs) or offer sympathy to patients. They recommended and then performed a procedure that ended up being unnecessary and after doing research was much more invasive than the other options available. The administrative side of this clinic is even worse. They send wrong or conflicting information regarding appointment dates and waivers and then are flippant about their mistakes and miscommunication. Find a different clinic unless you want little to no bedside manner or empathy from your healthcare team.

    Casey, who performs ultrasounds at SGF, is the kindest and most wonderful person. She always makes you feel at ease and patiently answers every question. She can make a tense situation feel calm. Casey, thank you so much for everything you do!

    Dr. Polotsky is the best fertility doctor I could have found. He is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also very optimistic and compassionate. During the two and a half years I was under his care, Dr. Polotsky often called me in the evenings and on weekends, sometimes with test results and more often to provide emotional support through the hardest journey of my life. He never gave up on me, and 10 days ago I delivered a perfect baby boy. He personally called to congratulate me and even attended the baby’s circumcision. IVF treatment is extremely difficult, but my doctor and the clinic staff—Casey and Zana!—gave me all the support I needed to succeed. Thank you so much!!

    I have never seen a clinic so disorganized or with such poor communication. That alone is frustrating enough, but their incompetence is even more outrageous: they forgot to bill my insurance company despite making the plan months in advance, leaving me to pay out of pocket because it was now too late. We sometimes waited for hours in the waiting room to see a doctor, only to find that no one appeared to have reviewed the insurance notes or understood the latest plan. I continue dealing with them only because I have no other choice. I can only assume they know that, or neither my friends nor I would ever return. If you can, I recommend going to any other clinic.

    First-rate medical facility—clean, professional, responsive, and high-quality care. 10 out of 10!
    Jan 14, 2026
    If you are enrolled in Medicare, they will refuse to provide services even if you pay out of pocket. This is unbelievable... so if that is your situation, do not waste your time. The VA referred me, but SGF rejected my application because I am enrolled in Medicare. Aside from this nonsense, I have heard they are good in other respects.
    Jan 6, 2026
    Dr. Polotsky helped us achieve success with IVF. Given our complex medical situation, he developed a very clear treatment plan in advance so we understood the timing and process. He helped us achieve what had seemed nearly impossible. We are extremely grateful to Dr. Polotsky and the entire care team.
    Jan 5, 2026
    Dr. Polotsky and his team are outstanding fertility specialists who are compassionate, highly skilled, and exceptionally supportive. I am very grateful for their care!
    Feb 18, 2026
    Kat R is truly wonderful. She is highly capable, makes me laugh when I need it, is considerate when I need support, and always looks out for me even before I realize I need it. If possible, I would request her at every visit. Everyone is excellent, but she truly stands out. Thank you for making my experience better. You are the best.
    Feb 18, 2026
    Do not go to this clinic. My partner was discharged immediately after egg retrieval while she was bleeding internally. Hours later, she nearly required removal of an ovary in the emergency room. The ER doctor told us the surgeon caused the internal bleeding and that this was the second patient from this clinic she had treated that week. My partner needed two blood transfusions. Dr. Alex Polotsky caused this. Do not see Dr. Polotsky under any circumstances. He was extremely irresponsible and should lose his medical license immediately. This clinic should be closed for malpractice.
    Feb 8, 2026
    If IVF is your only goal, this clinic may be right for you. But if you are considering anything other than IVF, stay away. We repeatedly said we were not interested in IVF and only wanted fertility advice, but they would not listen and kept pushing IVF. Frankly, the doctor was rude. This was only my experience, and they may be good at IVF, but that was not why I came.
    Feb 7, 2026
    They care about you only while you are paying them. How do I know? 1) Our experience. 2) Their reviews: they respond only to positive comments and ignore every one-star review. That shows their priorities. They care only whether you bring them business. If you happen to be unable to conceive, they immediately discard you. There is no follow-up, no next step, and no compassion for people whose lives have been changed. They threw us away like trash once we were no longer useful. It is unbelievable that they completely abandon patients this way. You must also have a ‘consultation’ before you can speak with them or enter the practice. At the consultation, they simply say they need your data. You pay $270 only to be told you need testing. They also use ‘divide and conquer.’ If a procedure requires a sample, they make you drive it over yourself even when many Shady Grove staff are already returning to Shady Grove. While you are still under anesthesia, they tell your partner bad news, then make the partner drive the sample alone. After your partner leaves, they wake you and tell you the same bad news. My partner and I each had to endure it alone. An absolutely terrible experience. Choose any other fertility clinic. This one cares only about money. Stay away!

    Good... and bad. Good for my wife, but a disaster for specimen collection/male fertility testing. The doors are heavy and loud, and every opening and closing can be heard clearly. The SGF andrology room or building restrooms often lack soap or paper towels. The white-noise machine is also frequently out of power.
    Mar 23, 2026
    Dr. Polotsky, Monica, and their entire team are truly angels. During our time at SGF, we felt genuinely cared for and heard. They are not only knowledgeable and professional, but also empathetic and compassionate, which made an essential difference during our IVF treatment. You can truly feel how much this team cares. We transferred to SGF after an unpleasant experience at another clinic and are extremely satisfied with the care we received here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    Mar 22, 2026
    The care I have received at Shady Grove has been amazing. All the staff and clinicians are quick and attentive. I feel very fortunate that we have had such a good experience and would highly recommend them if you are considering any ttc options or egg freezing
    Mar 21, 2026
    I love this clinic and the entire staff! Dr. Polotsky is wonderful and made me feel at ease. All the technicians were kind, patient, and considerate. Whatever stage of treatment you are in, we highly recommend this clinic!

    Shady Grove is truly wonderful. Communication was excellent, and every staff member made me feel completely at ease and supported, especially on the day of surgery. I highly recommend them.
    Apr 3, 2026
    Would you like to be overwhelmed by people who change your appointments without notice, expected to understand laboratories and testing better than anyone in the industry, forced to chase every scheduler and nurse repeatedly without getting answers, waste time, frustrate your employer, be made to use inadequate laboratories, waste money, and ultimately receive nothing—not even hope of pregnancy? Then you have come to the right place. I have been with Shady Grove for about a year, and I am ready to give up completely. No pregnancy, no communication, and no progress on my next treatment plan. All they say is “no.” I now understand why someone would scream hysterically here—they do nothing, yet they can drive you out of your mind. I sincerely wish you good luck.

    After a poor experience at another clinic, we came to Shandy Grove and found the staff kind, honest, and professional. We are very grateful to the SGF team for helping us build our family with compassionate, excellent medical care.
    Mar 26, 2026
    We had a poor experience at Shady Grove. If you are looking for a provider that values empathy and the patient experience, we strongly recommend choosing elsewhere.

    I really hate leaving negative feedback. However, this place is unfortunate a disaster in terms of non physician support. We were going through the pre ivf process and it so bad we switched practices. It was all but impossible to reach a nurse for questions by phone. Our nurse would not respond to messages for days. The final straw was not even getting a call to tell us the time of a procedure. I had to call the on call physician directly after the clinic assured us for days we'd receive a call the day before . We're still fighting to obtain our records for weeks now. We really liked our physician but at the end of the day, it takes s support staff too, especially for such an involved process as ivf. Our only regret was not switching sooner.
    Apr 25, 2026
    We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Polotsky, Dr. Roeca, and their team. With their help, support, and care, we made it through two pregnancies! We are sincerely grateful for their dedication to helping people build families 🩷

    总的来说，我们在SGF的这段时间非常愉快。第一个周期因为方案和沟通方面的问题有点让人困惑，不过我们刚刚完成了第二个周期，今天取卵了。这里的护理和服务都非常棒！我们非常感谢一路以来许多人的友善：特别是Steph、Andy和Sid，他们非常包容、热情和支持我们。我们对结果充满希望，也对我们的团队充满信心。
    Jun 13, 2026
    Huge compliments and appreciation for Leslie, a medical assistant who went above and beyond for me!
    Jun 10, 2026
    这里的团队非常体贴和支持，感觉他们是真心实意地关心我们，对他们来说这不仅仅是一份工作。他们非常尊重各种家庭结构，并且非常愿意满足每个人的需求。我的宫颈比较敏感，他们调整了手术流程，当我表示无法完成某些操作时，他们也从不反对。波洛茨基医生非常棒，他每次都会根据我们的需求调整方案，悉尼和蒂娜两位助理医师也给予了我们极大的支持！他们的护士团队也非常贴心，包括恩切米、瑞秋、莱斯利和莉塞斯，她们和其他所有工作人员一样出色！我记不住所有人的名字，但整个护理团队都非常优秀。如果以后想要二胎，我一定会再来！谢谢Shady Grove :)

    我在Shady Grove诊所和Polosky医生那里获得了非常棒的体验。去任何一家生育诊所都可能会让人感到不知所措，甚至有点混乱。预约很多，步骤很多，而且费用也不低。即便如此，我在整个过程中都得到了很好的照顾。我经历了几次取卵和一次胚胎移植，在每个阶段我都感到备受关怀，并且充分了解情况。Polosky医生非常积极、热情、充满活力，我一直都很欣赏这一点。
    May 30, 2026
    我无比感激Shady Grove Fertility，很高兴地告诉大家，我现在已经怀孕了。 在整个治疗过程中，最让我印象深刻的是，考虑到我住在科罗拉多州的布雷肯里奇，医疗团队给予了我极大的帮助。为了接受生育治疗而奔波可能很不容易，但他们尽可能地配合我，减少不必要的出行，让整个过程变得轻松便捷。他们的协调和沟通起到了至关重要的作用。 我也很欣赏他们个性化的治疗方案。经过多个周期的治疗，我们深入了解了我的身体对不同方案的反应，我的医疗团队也愿意根据这些结果调整治疗方案，而不是采用千篇一律的方法。这种灵活性和适应性最终帮助我们取得了成功。 医生、护士和工作人员知识渊博、反应迅速，并且在整个过程中都给予了我极大的支持，这段旅程可能会充满挑战和情绪波动。对于任何正在考虑选择生育诊所的人来说，我认为沟通、个性化护理以及一个真正倾听患者的团队，与成功率同样重要。 我非常感谢 Shady Grove Fertility 帮助我们组建家庭，并强烈推荐他们给其他正​​在寻求生育帮助的人。

    I wanted to give a shoutout to the amazing nurses who have taken care of me Rylee, RN and Kat, RN, Leah, RN as well as the lab team, ultrasound techs and Dr. Roeca. Everyone always makes me feel well cared for.

    I have very good experienced with Shady Groove Fertility in Denver. Having fertility problem is not an easy problem to deal with but Doctor Alex Polotsky and the nursing team and the financial advisor department and the front desk team make my journal much easier . Dr Alex polotsky always there for me for every step of the journey , he call me when I have 4 successful embryos that have good PGTA result , he called me when after my 1st Beta number , he requested to do the surgery for me when I I have cysts after my eggs retrieval , he was there and celebrate when I have my first ultrasound with good heart beat. He always so supportive and cheer me up. The nursing team is also amazing , they always response to my email right away and always called me with every blood work result and willing to send my eggs retrieval medications to different specialty pharmacy so I can get the best price. The financial department is phenomenal, they always email me to make sure that everything is good and clear before my transfer and make sure all the paper work are sign in appropriate timely manner. The front desk team are so nice and sweet. They even remember my name and always Able to schedule me in when I needed it. I can’t asked for a better team . I highly recommend Shady Grove Fertility in Denver for anyone who going through fertility journey. The Denver team make the process and journey a lot less stress and smooth for me . I am very grateful and appreciate everything they did for me. I be graduate from the clinic in 2 days and I’m feel so emotional. I happy to finally get pregnant but I will miss dr Polotsky team . I know fertility journey can be very stressful and a lot of anxiety but with dr Polesky team in Denver location , the journey will be alot smoother and you will eventually have a family of your dream.
