Had a great experience here for my egg retrieval!!! The anesthesiologist was so kind & patient with me, given I was nervous; the doctor, embryologist, nurses all were very kind/nice and explained who they were/what their role was. Although I was there for a few hours, it felt very quick because other than a 30 min wait for IV to hydrate you they're using that time to prep/explain or something is being done. I was knocked out, woke up and within 30 minutes able to go home with husband & knew egg count before I left. What stuck with me was how kind and good mood the team was. Look forward to working with this team in future for any implants! There's also a nice shopping complex nearby to grab breakfast after :)

I have been a patient at SGF for six years. Of course, the journey has not been entirely smooth, and we have experienced some ups and downs while working with this clinic. Overall, however, the clinic is caring and supportive and, most importantly, receptive to feedback. - Dr. Doyle is wonderful. He is kind, thoughtful, and knows his patients. He is careful and takes time to explain his thinking, and both my husband and I trust him. - Dr. Robinson is also excellent. I first met him at his previous clinic and was delighted that he joined the SGF team. I had to make a difficult decision about surgery, and he carefully explained each option and its advantages and disadvantages. He is direct but kind and understood the challenges I faced. After surgery, he was very attentive and responsive and, most importantly, did an excellent job! I have some trauma related to surgery and was very grateful to be able to trust him. - The care teams and nurse coordinators for both doctors I worked with were responsive, attentive, and very helpful. - During our embryo transfer, the steps taken to verify the correct embryo were very clear. With all the alarming stories circulating, it was wonderful to work with such a professional clinic. Why not five stars? I did ask to change doctors twice and complained to the finance department several times. As with any large organization, I encountered some people who lacked consideration or communicated poorly, and one person even became very angry with me. What I will say is that whenever you complain or ask for a change, SGF responds constructively. They listened to my complaints, apologized, and implemented the requested changes. This is definitely an advantage of working with a large clinic, and I encourage everyone dealing with infertility to advocate for themselves and/or their partner. Infertility is awful, but that does not mean you do not deserve to work with people who treat you well. Overall, SGF does that, and if you feel they have not, they will listen.

I cannot say enough good things about my treatment experience with Dr. Robinson. From the moment I met him, I felt confident and well cared for. He patiently and thoroughly explained every step of the surgery—from preoperative care and the day of surgery through postoperative care. His clear communication eased my concerns and made a potentially stressful situation feel manageable. What truly distinguishes Dr. Robinson is his exceptional bedside manner. He is kind, patient, and genuinely compassionate. I never felt rushed or overlooked; instead, he made sure all my questions were answered and that I felt heard and supported at every step. His professionalism and warmth made a tremendous difference in my recovery and overall experience.

We sincerely thank Dr. Shin, Dr. Roth, and nurse Courtney for their attentive care and support throughout our fertility journey. From day one, the team showed exceptional professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Dr. Shin is highly knowledgeable and was attentive and thoughtful in guiding us through male fertility treatment. His thorough, respectful approach was truly reassuring. Dr. Roth demonstrated outstanding skill and insight, so we always felt we were receiving expert care. Courtney consistently cared for and supported us—her warm manner made every interaction easier and more comfortable. Thanks to this wonderful team, we recently welcomed our beautiful daughter. We will always remember the major role they played in helping us realize our dream of parenthood. If you are looking for a dedicated and highly skilled fertility team, we strongly recommend Dr. Shin, Dr. Roth, and Courtney. Warmest regards!

Shady Grove is a scam! We argued with them about my insurance from the beginning. They said my insurance covered nothing, which was not true. They did not submit claims to my insurer even though they were legally required to do so! They kept pushing their own insurance company. We ultimately received a check in the mail because we had to call the insurance company about a procedure for which I paid $250. Today I received a $250 bill from eight months ago, and I guarantee it is the same money they refunded us. I initially went to Shady Grove in Frederick, Maryland, and had the same problem. It seems you will encounter the same issue at any Shady Grove. I have looked into it and done my own research. It appears they do this to many people, and I have had enough.

Going through this journey has many anxiety inducing and uncertain (scary) moments. Especially when it comes to surgical procedures. But the team at Rockville were so amazing! Dr. Csokmay, nurse Sabrina, and CRNA Steve made us feel like we were at home and provided not only their expertise, but also caring compassion which is not something that can be easily taught! You all are the dream team! Thank you for making this experience a great one. If we have to go through this process again, we hope we get you all again! You put our minds at ease!

The doctors, nurses, and staff at Shady Grove Fertility were outstanding throughout treatment. Dr. Doyle is one of my favorite doctors, and thanks to him and his excellent nurse Effie, I have two perfect children! Effie is compassionate and kind, and Dr. Doyle is very knowledgeable. My PA Kim performed several procedures and is one of the best providers I have worked with. I am deeply grateful for everything they did!

I had an excellent experience at this clinic. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive when I arrived. Maribel was especially helpful, tactful, and thoughtful. She truly improved my experience and represents the SGF team exceptionally well. Highly recommended!

Dr. Obrien and her team, especially Chantel, were very helpful and supportive and always ensured I felt comfortable and cared for. Thank you for everything!!!!! I also thank Janice and Angela, who were patient and reassuring on the phone and took time to answer my questions. Because of work, I always called near closing, and they were happy to help. The clinic is clean and welcoming at every visit.

I had a wonderful time with Lexa R. today. She was kind and caring and truly made my day. Thank you.

I have attended Shady Grove for about two years and had an excellent experience. Infertility is difficult, but having empathetic staff and doctors has helped tremendously. Dr. Robinson was very kind and took time to explain the entire treatment process, ultimately empowering me to make decisions about my own body. He and his staff are wonderful.

10/10 experience! Odette is an excellent nurse. She has a wonderful bedside manner and made me feel relaxed and reassured during egg retrieval. Dr. Levy was very kind and came to see me before the procedure, which put me at ease. Tina, thank you for keeping me calm and relaxed before anesthesia. My egg retrieval went very smoothly, and I am very happy with the results! The clinic's service before this retrieval was also excellent. The weekend checkout nurse and laboratory staff were so enjoyable and made this a wonderful experience!

I had the privilege of being cared for under the coordination of Bhumika Jayemi in Rockville, MD, and I can say without hesitation she exemplifies what compassionate, competent healthcare should look like. From my very first interaction, Bhumika stood out for her professionalism, empathy, and attention to detail. She took the time to listen carefully to all my concerns, answered my questions thoroughly (even the ones I didn’t know how to ask), and made sure I understood every aspect of my care plan. What impressed me most was how she managed all the moving parts—scheduling, communications among doctors, follow‑ups, and even coordinating with insurance—without ever dropping the ball. On several occasions, she anticipated issues before they arose and reached out proactively to resolve them, which greatly reduced my stress and uncertainty.

I am extremely grateful for my treatment experience at Shady Grove Fertility in Rockville. Dr. Roth and my nurse Paula were a wonderful team who guided me through the entire process with care, professionalism, and support. Paula gave me tremendous encouragement throughout. I also thank the PROGRESS research team for their dedication. They were always attentive, thoughtful, and helpful, making me very comfortable while participating in the study. Everyone I worked with at SGF made this stressful treatment process easier. I always felt heard and cared for. Thanks to Dr. Roth, Paula, the PROGRESS research team, and the entire Rockville office, our treatment was very successful. I am deeply grateful for the hope and opportunity they gave me. I highly recommend Shady Grove Fertility in Rockville to anyone considering treatment.

Dr. Robinson, Shannon, and Jessica are among the most wonderful, caring, and attentive healthcare professionals you could meet. Shannon and Jessica always patiently answered every question or concern and truly made me feel heard. Shannon messaged me the day before my procedure to wish me luck and checked on me countless times afterward. She is truly exceptional. Dr. Robinson always takes time to communicate and ensures that you understand every word he says and everything he plans to do. After 7 years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive and consultations with numerous specialists, we finally learned about Shady Grove. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been referred to them and deeply comforted by the attentive, compassionate care we received. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything! We hope to welcome a child soon, all thanks to you! 💗 -Shavonne and Bill

I want to recognize the outstanding team at Shady Grove in Rockville. Special thanks to my nurse, Dani Leon, whose communication, attention to detail, reassurance, and compassion were exceptional. She was our chief guide through every step and exactly the person you want on your team during a stressful journey. I also thank advanced practice provider Kim, who was very kind and answered all our questions. She is wonderful and truly cares about her patients!

Saying I am unhappy is an understatement. Following the doctor’s instructions, we arrived at 7:30 a.m. so my husband could provide an on-site semen sample at 9:00 for our IUI. He was not taken back until 8:30. I angrily asked whether he would be taken back in time for my 9:00 IUI, since sperm preparation takes 1–1.5 hours. After I asked, they made another call and took him back within 5 minutes. While we waited, three couples were taken back to provide samples. The front desk staff discussed everything except work, including telling stories, laughing, and sharing photos of their children—very sensitive in this setting. Another couple came to provide an on-site sample and left 20 minutes later! No one explained why we had to wait or why our IUI was delayed. It was nearly 9:30 and we were still in the waiting room with couples scheduled for 10:00 IUIs. It would have been easier if the office staff communicated or appeared to care about why patients were there and how difficult it can be to walk through those doors. Our usual office was closed, which is why we came here, but I will never return. Even if it means a longer drive on weekends, I will use another office. When we left and I went to the desk to check out, they all stared at us. The person on the phone helped us while the others did nothing but watch.

It is best to schedule your appointment several hours before you need to leave. My appointment was at 7 a.m., and I arrived 10 minutes before 7, when they opened. I am still waiting to be called back after an hour and a half. I am typing this in the waiting room now.

Thank you, Dr. Ross and Julie. Special thanks to Elena, a very kind woman who comforted me when I needed God's blessing. Dr. Ross, please continue doing your work with love.

Dr. Robinson is an excellent doctor. He is caring, knowledgeable, and passionate about his patients. He takes time to explain everything in detail. I admire Dr. Robinson's dedication and have tremendous respect for him.

I have been receiving care at SGF for over a year, and today I finally graduated—I am so excited! My primary physician during this time was Dr. Lauren Roth. I really like Dr. Roth; she is direct and data-driven, which are qualities I value in a physician. She always explained my condition carefully and answered my countless questions. My nurse Christie was also wonderful. She was always enthusiastic, positive, and optimistic. She was highly conscientious and always responded promptly to my questions and concerns. Special thanks also to my medical assistant Jewel, who was very kind at every follow-up visit. I am giving four stars because I had some unpleasant experiences during my time there. I believe all SGF employees should receive training in trauma-informed care. Unfortunately, I experienced two miscarriages. At some appointments I felt anxious because I was nervous and crying, but I did not feel that the staff responded with enough sensitivity. My interactions with Dr. Michael Levy and Dr. David Saffan were especially poor. I also wish the billing department provided a smoother experience. Overall, I am very grateful for the care I received at SGF because I am finally pregnant with my rainbow baby.

Special thanks to the staff, especially Bhumika Jagani. I was very nervous before the procedure, but your professionalism and kindness made me feel cared for, and I am very grateful. Everything was perfect, and I have no complaints!

Many thanks to my outstanding team: Dr. Levy, Adrianna, Dani, and Harry. They were always very responsive and helped me greatly throughout the process. Sola also did an excellent job drawing blood. Kim P was wonderful during my visits and provided tremendous emotional support throughout treatment, always making sure I was doing well. The clinic manager was also excellent and very helpful, and Emely’s assistance was invaluable.

Ashley at the front desk was very kind and welcoming and made me feel at home.

I had an excellent experience at this clinic. I met with Dr. Robinson, who patiently answered my many questions. I appreciate that although he no longer treats chronic pain, he still did his best to address all my concerns. He also gave me a list of doctors I could consult. I am very grateful to the women at the front desk, who also did everything they could to help me. Thank you to Maribel, Deliah, Maria M, Sade, Sochi, and Jazlyn for your help. Lamiya also made sure I had a good experience. Thank you to all the women at the front desk. I will definitely recommend this clinic. Thank you again :) I completely forgot to mention someone else who helped me tremendously. Many thanks to Dr. Robinson's coordinator, Shannon, who went above and beyond to arrange an earlier appointment for me. I truly appreciate all her help. Thank you again!

The staff were pleasant, but Shady Grove tried to charge both my insurance and me twice for a procedure I had only once! They even used the same code and synonyms for the procedure name both times, although they told my insurance company that the second charge was for "ancillary services," which is completely false. This is outright fraud. If they do not correct the error immediately and remove the second charge, I will report them to the appropriate authorities for fraud.
Dec 24, 2025
Thank you for helping us today, especially Yoniett A. at the front desk. She took excellent care of us and was very helpful. The clinic needs more employees like her.

This was a great experience. The staff were excellent and helpful.

I had an excellent experience at both the Rockville and Washington, DC locations. I am especially grateful to my nurse, Juliet, who was very kind and helpful. My only issue was billing. If you use insurance, I strongly recommend carefully reviewing your explanation of benefits (EOB). Shady Grove requires an upfront deposit before any treatment to cover possible out-of-pocket or coinsurance costs, but this is only an estimate and you should not rely entirely on them to reconcile it. They overcharged me by more than $1,400, and getting a refund has been very difficult. It has been three months since I last received services from them, and I am still waiting for the refund.

My experience at Shady Grove was amazing! I am 32 and was diagnosed with unexplained infertility after my husband and I tried to conceive for a year. We began treatment at Shady Grove in April 2025, completed three IUIs, and ultimately became pregnant on our third IVF cycle! Although the process was frightening and physically and emotionally exhausting, Shady Grove did everything possible to make it positive and hopeful. My doctor was Dr. Roth. She is highly skilled and listened patiently to my needs and every question. She advocated for me with insurance several times and attended every important ultrasound. I felt that she truly heard my concerns and incorporated them into the treatment plan. If a protocol did not work, she was willing to try something new and adjust quickly without wasting time, which was essential to me. Dr. Roth is compassionate, understanding, and optimistic. I highly recommend her and would return to her if I ever need IVF again! Special thanks also to my nurse, Juliet, who was wonderful! She always called with clear instructions and was extremely thoughtful. Everyone, from the front desk to the doctors, was friendly, positive, and efficient. The clinic was beautiful and clean. I never had trouble scheduling appointments, and I had many of them. Wait times were also short. I recommend Shady Grove to everyone trying to conceive—best wishes, because I know how difficult this journey is—and I strongly recommend Dr. Roth! :)

I highly recommend Dr. Robinson. Before surgery, he patiently explained the hysteroscopy in clear, easy-to-understand terms. During the procedure, he answered my questions and explained in detail what he observed. Afterward, I received a detailed operative report. His team, Shannon and Jessica, was equally excellent. Dr. Robinson is a highly skilled Asherman's syndrome specialist.
Jan 28, 2026
This clinic is amazing! The staff and doctors are all very kind and thoughtful. Dr. Jeanne O’Brien patiently explained every step of treatment while listening to my needs with tremendous empathy and care. Christine, Sandra, and all the front desk staff are friendly and professional and respond promptly to both calls and emails. Kim always has a smile, is warm and welcoming, and is ready to offer the best advice. I am very glad I chose this clinic and would recommend it to everyone. It is truly wonderful! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Dr. Robinson is an excellent fertility specialist! He is kind, approachable, and welcoming. He patiently explains everything and recommends the most appropriate treatment plan. He is knowledgeable and passionate about his work. To us, he was truly an 'angel sent from heaven.' His team is also outstanding. I highly recommend him! Thank you, Dr. Robinson, Shannon, Jessica, and every other wonderful member of your team!

Sochi, the patient service representative, did an excellent job. She went out of her way to contact the medical team and doctor to arrange our bloodwork, saving us a trip and considerable time and effort. Thank you so much, Sochi!

Thank you to Shady Grove for helping us welcome babies twice! From Dr. Chang to Dr. Ross, every healthcare professional was wonderful and made our dream come true. We love you and appreciate everything you did. Special thanks also to my nurse Christie, who helped me so much. Thank you, and God bless you.

I am sitting in my car in the parking lot, crying. I called twice. The first time, someone answered and immediately hung up. The second time, I was speaking with the front desk when the call was disconnected again. I am part of this medical network and was asking whether my records could be sent to another highly regarded physician. I live far away and wanted to know whether I might qualify for surgery related to Asherman's syndrome. The clinicians where I now live are wonderful, but I wanted one final opinion before abandoning other treatment options and considering surrogacy.
Mar 26, 2026
This has been one of the most difficult experiences I have ever had. Problems have continued since we began working with this company. I first contacted the Hagerstown office, which is only a remote office and currently performs no procedures. The doctor was kind and made us confident about treatment. My first clinic visit was in Frederick. I am grateful to nurse practitioner Milka and my initial contact Julie. Both were wonderful, kind, helpful, and thoughtful. After initial treatment, we were excited to begin IVF injections and egg retrieval. However, nearly six months after we started, they told me my BMI was too high for sedation and had to be below 40. My weight had not changed, so I do not understand why they waited so long to tell me. They then promoted a new GLP-1 program. I understood that the medication was not insured, but only one minute before the appointment did they disclose that the GLP-1 nursing consultation was also excluded and that all visits, follow-ups, and medication would be self-pay. I canceled. For a year, I have struggled with their billing errors. I have communicated with SGF and my insurer, but SGF's claims team seems unable to process claims correctly. My insurer ultimately received multiple duplicate claims while SGF kept saying they were pending. I repeatedly submitted my explanations of benefits (EOB) to SGF. It is now March 25, 2026, and I still lack final results for services received March 17. They appear unable to bill correctly. At the Rockville office, they overcharged me nearly $600 for a procedure and took over three months to refund it, destroying my trust in their billing. They ruined our experience and created obstacles at every turn. We will never return, and if you plan to use insurance, consider other options. This has been awful. My husband underwent chemotherapy for cancer, and we only wanted a child.
Mar 26, 2026
Words cannot describe our terrible experience with this company. The doctors and nurses were wonderful, patient, and informative. The clinical staff took excellent care of my wife during visits. But every other aspect of the company seems openly designed to extract every possible dollar from you and your insurer. Be very cautious with the front desk and management. For a procedure in Rockville, we were told we had to pay more than $1,200 upfront, without being told it was only an estimate or that we could pay later. We were forced to prepay and told this amount remained after our cost-sharing, but the actual charge was less than half the estimate. We discovered this only because our health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) rejected reimbursement, saying SGF had billed incorrectly, though I no longer believe it was a mistake. It took over three months to resolve this first problem and recover our money because they billed our insurer and separately charged us for the same service. For the past year, we have also disputed every other claim with this company, with no resolution. They use different codes for every submission, leaving me dependent on my insurer's explanations of benefits to determine the correct claim. They repeatedly resubmitted the same claim until their latest bill request produced five pages of duplicate submissions. We were quoted one amount by phone, billed another, and have now received an email demanding a third amount higher than either previous figure. The company offers additional consultations about GLP-1 medication and genetic testing but never discloses that consultations with its specialists cost hundreds of dollars and are entirely uninsured. Fortunately, we canceled one before being charged again. It is unacceptable that a company lacking basic bookkeeping skills—or deliberately overcharging customers—continues operating. I suggest researching alternatives before using them, though I know options are limited. I was forced to undergo chemotherapy for cancer, and afterward we only wanted a child.

My daughter spent years at Shady Grove trying to conceive and failed repeatedly. They said it should work but made almost no effort to identify the reason and still offer no explanation. Spending so much money only to face disappointment again and again is heartbreaking. If you want to become pregnant, do not go there! A heartbroken mother/grandmother

I cannot fully express how impressed I was by our first experience at this clinic. We came for testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and egg retrieval. The coordination was flawless. Every staff member my wife and I met was professional, helpful, and went above and beyond. Our previous clinic experience was a nightmare, while Shady Grove's staff operated like a well-oiled machine. Every interaction was purposeful and carefully planned, and execution was seamlessly coordinated like Transformers! My wife and I were extremely pleased with our Rockville experience and left feeling secure that we had found the most professional team. Credit to the organization and all its staff. We are thrilled to have found a leading clinic in the field! 💪😎

Lola—I hope I spelled that correctly—is amazing! She is a ray of sunshine who warms your heart while you wait anxiously. She comes to get you with a walker, yet she is agile, energetic, and outpaces everyone, and you never hear her complain. She is wonderful! The whole team is wonderful. I am fortunate to have so many people supporting me on this journey. Sorry I cannot remember all my dream-team members' names today. Special thanks to Amanda F, who continually supports and encourages me and always replies to my many messages. Thank you. I am so grateful! 🙏🙏🙏

Everyone! This made me feel less alone.

Five stars for Jaslyn alone. She always does her best to help schedule my appointments. You know how difficult scheduling can be in an urgent situation. She is the most patient-focused clinician I have met at SGF. It took nearly a month to schedule my postoperative follow-up, and she did her best to prioritize my needs.
May 11, 2026
Ally in andrology, Afsaneh K, was extremely helpful. My wife and I are going through our second embryo transfer, and it has been a very difficult time. Ally helped confirm all the necessary testing and even printed the referral order to ensure the analysis results were accurate.

Nadine is excellent at drawing blood. It did not hurt at all.
May 6, 2026
I am so glad everything went well. SGF was outstanding throughout the treatment and gave me a great deal of encouragement. My husband and I are now delighted to have our little princess home with us. We take time to thank God for everything He has given us.

Lexa drew my blood, and it was very quick and completely painless. This was my first visit, and the entire experience was easy and pleasant.
Jun 27, 2026
The worst decision I ever made was coming here. You are treated like cattle. All they care about is money. The entire experience was terrible. No one seems able to help you, and no one cares about the patients.

Edit: The front desk referred to my patient coordinator as a “nurse,” but I later found out that she was not one. For anyone visiting SGF for the first time, you will initially be assigned—and it feels like forced upon you—a “patient care coordinator,” after which you may have to go through considerable difficulty to reach an actual nurse. This patient care coordinator knows very little about your case. Communication improved with the nurse, but it is unbelievable that such a well-funded medical organization has created such bureaucratic barriers. Patients bear the consequences of these expensive experiments, but the clinic could at least coordinate and manage everything properly. Reddit is full of complaints from patients who cannot reach their doctors and whose health has suffered because of poor communication. Original review: I am currently giving SGF a chance to correct this unacceptable communication and the gatekeeping through the patient portal that is intended to prevent administrative harm. It is safe to say that, so far, I advise prospective patients to avoid this clinic.

My experience at SGF was excellent. Everyone on the team, especially Dr. Osborn and nurse Marylin, was professional, dedicated, and attentive. Marylin always answered my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. I felt supported and understood throughout the process.

Do not come here unless you want to be deceived. Shady Grove has fallen extremely far. During fertility screening, my wife was exposed to latex despite her documented latex allergy. Apparently, the facility listed it in progress notes rather than in the allergy indicator. Instead of admitting the error, they denied any latex exposure despite my wife’s reaction, meaning the provider, Dr. Nicole Doyle, lied. Worse, they had the audacity to bill us. At best, this conduct is unprofessional.

Dr. Doyle, nurse Helen, and the entire Shady Grove care team are wonderful. Helen, your kindness, attentiveness, and warmth gave me tremendous strength. Dr. Doyle, your expertise and reassuring presence gave us confidence at every step. Thank you to the entire team for your hard work and support throughout the process, which greatly reduced my stress.

We loved working with Dr. Humm and her nurse Susan! Infertility is always difficult, but we felt supported throughout the process. We are extremely grateful for everything they did to help us build our family.

Dr. Humm, nurse Susan, and all the other staff were wonderful. We just welcomed our first baby, and we could not have reached this point without them. They provided excellent communication and support throughout IVF. We always felt fully informed, respected, and confident that our decisions and wishes were honored. I highly recommend this team!

We are very grateful for our experience at SGF. Dr. Doyle and Helen make a dynamic team and patiently answered our questions through every challenge during treatment. During many blood draws, Ashley and Debby kept me cheerful with their professionalism and music.

Debbie made me feel very safe and reassured. I strongly dislike blood draws, but she patiently explained every step and encouraged me. She is wonderful!

Ashley and Debbie are wonderful! I am very afraid of needles, but they always make me laugh during blood draws. I leave the Sibley office feeling happy and confident every time. The clinic has a very calm, peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend SGF Sibley.

Debbie (phlebotomist) and Tyra (front desk) are always so cheery and helpful. I really appreciate their positivity and look forward to seeing them when I come in!

Dr. Humm and her team are wonderful! I was very nervous beforehand, but she helped ease my anxiety. I truly enjoyed working with her.

I ultimately changed doctors because I found that Humm was not a good fit for my care for two reasons: 1. She does not explain or inform. The current trend in healthcare is for patients to participate actively in processes and decisions. Humm did not seem to understand this and appeared annoyed by my questions. When I miscarried, one option she suggested was medication to pass the tissue. When I asked about side effects, she seemed somehow triggered and told me, "Well, the side effect is how your body responds to the medication." That is a very strange answer from a doctor. I had to look up side-effect information in an IVF support group instead of receiving it directly from my healthcare provider. 2. She appeared to withhold important information. When I needed a D&C, she recommended sending the tissue for genetic testing to find out what had happened to the fetus. She did not mention the possibility that there might not be enough tissue for a conclusive result. She assured us that the genetic test would give us "closure." We sent the tissue, and the result said there was not enough. When I followed up with the clinical care team, they said the pregnancy had been too early—the fetus was only 6 weeks when it stopped growing—and unfortunately there may not be enough tissue for testing that early. It would have been helpful to know that before deciding to test, would it not? But she never told us. The fetus being only 6 weeks was no secret to her, so she should have given me objective information that the "closure" she mentioned might or might not be possible. I tried to have this item removed from my later bill, but she refused for the same reason: "There is always a chance." Now I have a large bill. Thank you, Humm.

The staff are excellent, but Dr. Humm does not listen to her patients. After 4 rounds of IUI and 3 miscarriages, Dr. Humm did not know why I could not maintain a pregnancy. Because of my autoimmune issues, I told her I believed I might have antiphospholipid syndrome. She dismissed my concern, and I later discovered that I have thrombophilia. Her refusal to listen cost us thousands of dollars and months of heartbreak. Avoid!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Humm and the GW IVF staff. After my OB-GYN referred us, she could tell that we were overwhelmed. She was thorough, precise, empathetic, caring, and simply wonderful. She followed up at every step because you see many nurses and doctors during treatment. I never felt confused or lost. I wish she could be my OB because she is so wonderful! All our pregnancies require IVF, and we will definitely return after this one!

I wish I could give more than 4 stars. That is how exceptional Dr. Humm is. She is kind and patient, and she was clear and honest throughout the process. She explained everything in terms that were easy for a layperson to understand, making IVF easier to manage as a patient. I am glad I went through IVF with her.

Dr. Humm is such an amazing doctor that I followed her when she moved to Shady Grove Fertility. She is dedicated to her patients and is a creative thinker, which is essential in IVF because every case and cycle can differ. She never gave up on us, and thanks to her we have two sons. During the six years I received treatment on and off, she always took time to check on my health and make sure I was well physically and emotionally. IVF can be demanding, but she made it much easier. She is incredible!
