Doctor Introduction

Wendy B. Shelly, United States

 

Dr. Shelly earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Penn State University and a medical degree from Penn State's Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. She then completed an OB/GYN residency at the University of Virginia, followed by a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of California, San Francisco.

 

Before joining Fertility Specialist Medical Group in 2011, Dr. Shelly practiced with Northern California Fertility Medical Center in San Jose and Palo Alto, California. She is the surgical director of the San Diego Reproductive Surgery Center, Fertility Specialist Medical Group's in-house surgery center. She has also been named one of San Diego Magazine's Top Doctors.

 

Dr. Shelly offers individuals and couples a full range of fertility services, including low- and high-technology treatments and fertility preservation. She has a particular interest in serving the LGBTQIA community and values the emotional bonds formed while caring for individuals and couples undergoing fertility treatment.

 

Dr. Shelly spent more than a decade learning from textbooks. Although she uses that knowledge every day, she recognizes that no patient fits a textbook profile exactly. She works with patients to tailor treatment and personalize care to the needs and goals of each individual or couple.

 

She chose reproductive endocrinology because it allows her to build unique, meaningful relationships with patients. She provides care with openness, acceptance, and trust. Because fertility treatment involves frequent visits and significant emotions, Dr. Shelly believes it allows her to truly care for and understand people.

 

As a mother and member of Fertility Specialist Medical Group's all-female physician team, she is most proud of her ability to connect with and comfort people facing infertility. She understands the desire to have a child and how it can affect a woman's sense of self, identity as a woman, relationship with her partner, and determination to realize this particular dream.

    I do not recommend it.
    Nov 14, 2024
    FSMG is a compassionate, responsive, patient-centered clinic. I felt the care I received was first-rate. Dr. Médica in particular was very kind and considerate. I am extremely anxious about medical issues, and because of her, I felt confident undergoing the retrieval procedure. She is highly capable and understanding. She answered all my questions kindly and clearly. We delayed the egg-retrieval process because I was anxious about it, and she was very patient and never pressured me. I made mistakes with my medication, and the pharmacy had several delays—FSMG always had a solution and tried to help me. All the nurses, coordinators, receptionists, other doctors, and staff were helpful, responsive, and kind. I am very grateful that FSMG prioritized my care and safety and sincerely recommend them. If I am successful, I wish Dr. Médica could be my obstetrician—that is how much I appreciate her. Thank you, FSMG!

    Not a good company. Their paperwork, which repeats several questions in a lengthy form and wastes clients' time, and their financial disclosures and customer service are very unprofessional. Dee and Denise, I believe those were their names, were very unprofessional with me on the phone. Dee repeatedly interrupted me and told me all their patients understand their insurance coverage. They are neither kind nor professional. Avoid them.

    I strongly encourage anyone considering this facility to reconsider carefully. My experience was very disappointing, and genuine, personalized care is essential. Although Dr. Shelly was polite, it was clear that her engagement lacked sincerity and commitment. This facility does not prioritize meaningful interaction or individualized support. For your well-being and satisfaction, find a provider truly committed to listening and meeting your needs. Your time and resources are valuable—invest them where people genuinely care and support you.

    I am truly disappointed with my experience at this location. I will start by saying that my initial consultation and first in-person appointment with Dr. Shelly went well. She was kind. However, this was my recent experience: During my initial consultation and ultrasound appointments on May 17 and May 28, I told Dr. Shelly that my husband and I would be moving to the East Coast on July 1, so this was essentially our one opportunity before leaving. During the ultrasound, she assured me that everything looked good and that all I needed was updated blood work and to call when my period began, or, if it did not begin, still call for blood work to check for pregnancy. On June 17, I called to tell them my period had started on June 16. Since the office was closed Sunday, I called Monday. The front desk informed me that they “saw I had canceled the follow-up virtual meeting required to begin an IUI cycle.” I explained that I had not been told this; otherwise, I would have kept the follow-up. I was then told my doctor was on vacation for three weeks and would not return until July 5. I was shocked because this had never been mentioned when I told her on two separate occasions that we were moving July 1 and wanted to complete a cycle before leaving. After hearing this very disappointing news, I was told they would try to arrange for me to see another doctor and that I should expect a call from a coordinator within an hour. They also said to call if I had not heard from them by 1 p.m. At around 1 p.m., there had been no call, so I called them. Their machine answered, and I had to leave a voicemail. Because of the disorganized information and lack of urgency in correcting the situation, I will have to miss this cycle and entrust this sensitive matter to someone else. Very disappointed.

    I have worked in healthcare for many years and have never experienced such poor service. The only kind person here is Dr. Sherry, but Dr. Morales is purely money-driven and lacks empathy. She refuses direct contact and will not respond to any patient without an additional payment. I paid for a misleading consultation, and when I asked the front desk a follow-up question about the same appointment, I was told I needed to book and pay for another consultation. (If any medical malpractice attorneys are reading this, please investigate this clinic.) This is by far the worst clinic I have visited. They lure you in with treatment, and once you have invested time, you become trapped with a provider who continually takes and gives nothing back. The reviews speak for themselves—this place is terrible. The receptionist, Irene, may be the worst of them. She deliberately says things that upset patients. For example: Me: One of my consultations was interrupted because the call disconnected. Can you help me reschedule and waive the payment? Irene: No, you have to pay again. The second time, I called about another issue: Me: I had a follicle count last year, but your practice never responded. Can someone help me? I do not want to pay twice because of your company's negligence. Irene: You have to start over because it has been a year. She then mentioned that she could transfer me to finance for more information, but that had nothing to do with my concern. My call with Dr. Morales was also disconnected because of poor reception. When I rescheduled, they billed my insurance twice for more than $100 and required me to pay the deposit twice. On top of that, they were undergoing internal changes but failed to inform me of my results. I eventually went to another fertility clinic, where things were much better, but they advised me to stay with one provider because several procedures had already been performed. So I reluctantly returned here, only to be told that because it had been almost a year, and because of their lack of organization, I needed to repeat all the procedures and pay the original amount again. At this point, I may gather other patients to share their experiences and explore possible action, because this clinic should not treat customers this way. Even worse, I had been communicating with Keila, who sent me information and answered emails until she suddenly stopped without warning. There was not even an automated message informing me of her absence. After a month without a response, I contacted the clinic again, and Irene told me: “You should only use our general email because you will not get a response when employees are out of the office.” This is not an acceptable way to handle customer service. When an employee is away, an automatic email should tell patients whom else to contact. Keila was initially handling my case, so how was I supposed to know I needed to switch to the general email? This clinic is disorganized, unethical, and focused only on profit. Avoid it at all costs.

    My wife and I have had only one consultation so far, but Dr. Shelly is already one of our favorite specialists. She is highly attentive to detail, understands the specifics of our situation, and communicates details clearly without making them feel overwhelming. We are fortunate to have her as an in-network option!

    Stay away from this clinic! I noticed red flags from the beginning and wish I had not ignored them. Go somewhere else covered by your insurance; if you are not using insurance, that is even more reason to avoid this clinic. We had an incident where my partner and another patient received an erroneous email about an appointment we did not actually have (I assume the clinic scheduled it without consulting us, since I could not get off work). The email was sent to my partner and another patient. This serious privacy breach makes me deeply concerned about their overall professionalism and protection of personal health information. We will pursue legal action over this blatant HIPAA violation. I am a healthcare provider myself, so this mistake sickens me. I feel sorry for the patient whose email address, containing her first and last name, was disclosed to my partner. Also, before we completed any testing recommended by Dr. Medica, she told us at our first appointment that “we may need IUI for our first pregnancy,” despite having no test results to support that recommendation. I have read many negative reviews of this clinic that resemble our experience. Do not ignore the warning signs; go elsewhere.

    I do not understand the negative reviews of this clinic. I found them after an absolutely terrible experience at UC San Diego, and I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Shelly and her entire team. They supported us through three miscarriages and one pregnancy, and we are now working with them toward #2. Everyone is compassionate and caring, and I have never been asked to pay an unexpected extra fee. I pay once at the start of a cycle, and Dr. Shelly sees me as often as needed. That number varies by cycle, and I do not pay extra for additional ultrasounds or visits. Dr. Shelly and her team respond quickly and thoroughly to every email and call. They are the best team I have ever had. When I cried after learning I had miscarried, they cared for my 5-year-old in the waiting room so he would not have to see me; they wrote him notes and drew pictures for him when I came in for surgery; they hugged me when I was discouraged and sad; and they laughed with me when I was excited and hopeful. I cannot speak for anyone else's experience, and fertility treatment is difficult, but Dr. Shelly and her care team changed everything for us. Please do not let negative reviews sway you. In all my years as their patient, I have never received poor care. Give this team a chance; they truly do wonderful work.

    Dr. Medica and Dr. Sunshine are both wonderful. I just had my first online consultation and am very satisfied with the care and service. I cannot wait for my next appointment!

    Dr. Shelly is warm and friendly and makes you feel at home. She understands both the science and the process, while also being genuine and always looking out for you.

    Six years ago, after multiple unsuccessful attempts to conceive naturally, we began our fertility journey. We found Dr. Shelly through our employer benefits, and from our first visit, we knew she would take care of us. She always helped us navigate the weight of the process with ease, and her sense of humor, much like my husband's, always helped us relax. The support team was equally exceptional. Every nurse and staff member made me feel cared for and always encouraged me during blood draws and follow-up visits. That encouragement meant so much during such a difficult process. Today, we have two wonderful children, ages 5 and 18 months. We will always be grateful to Dr. Shelly and her team for giving us the chance to build our family. This clinic will always hold a special place in our hearts!

    I have been working with Dr. Shirley for some time, and she is both attentive and kind. This journey has not gone as smoothly as I hoped, but I have always felt seen, cared for, and supported.
    Sep 6, 2025
    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Medica and her team. From the moment I entered the clinic, I felt comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for. Her calm, professional manner immediately put me at ease. She explained every step of the process carefully, patiently answered all my questions, and ensured I was fully informed and confident moving forward. Beyond her expertise, what impressed me most was her kindness and genuine compassion. Fertility treatment can feel overwhelming, but she made me feel that I was not facing it alone. The entire staff were equally outstanding—warm, attentive, and highly supportive. Whether at the front desk, with the nurses, or during follow-up, every interaction was positive and reassuring. It is clear that they genuinely care about their patients and work together to provide the best possible experience. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Medica and her excellent team. They made this journey much easier, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking fertility care.

    It was our first visit, and it is rare to actually see a doctor. Usually the providers have master's degrees and technician qualifications, but we met Dr. Shirley, who was warm and friendly. She greeted us with a hug, was funny, and truly felt like a friend. I am glad we found her.

    I would not recommend this clinic—proceed at your own risk! We underwent IVF with Dr. Morales this April. Her waiting area displays many awards. Throughout treatment, we told her we wanted a fresh embryo transfer because it was included in the package, which could not be customized. She scheduled another appointment to discuss it and ensure we understood the process. We also worked with IVF nurse Alexa. After I confirmed that her instructions differed from what the doctor had told us, she still gave me incorrect directions for a medication and insisted I continue taking it. At my next follow-up, after I had taken it for several days, Dr. Morales said I should not have taken it, but assured me it was fine and that they could correct the issue with a different medication. They prescribed several medications but never told me to take them. I eventually came to the clinic daily, sometimes at any available time because Dr. Morales was fully booked. I saw her only twice during IVF; another doctor handled the rest. Neither would answer follow-up questions, and they rushed us out after at most five minutes before bloodwork. They also performed a saline ultrasound to ensure my uterus was clear for a fresh transfer. They found two small polyps and “adhesions.” We recorded the ultrasound, and at home the “adhesions” appeared to be caused by the injected saline. At my second visit with Dr. Morales, I had to ask about the results because she did not intend to discuss them. She said we needed another appointment to confirm the findings. My progesterone level was also not good, making a fresh transfer unlikely. At the next appointment, she explained that, due to the two small polyps, adhesions, and progesterone level, she would not perform the transfer. I asked what the point of prescribing progesterone suppositories was and whether they could maintain my progesterone to support pregnancy, but she did not answer. She did everything possible to prevent our desired fresh transfer. We therefore had to pay another $3,000–$5,000 for a frozen embryo transfer. If you are ineligible for a fresh transfer, you receive no refund and must pay more for a frozen transfer. This seemed absurd and made no sense, but it was too late to back out. On egg-retrieval day, we met the embryologist and retrieval doctor, who was not Dr. Morales, in the preoperative room. Before even receiving my eggs or my partner's sperm, the embryologist said, “You will be lucky to get one embryo; you will probably get none.” It felt as if they had already planned for our cycle to fail. They retrieved 10 eggs; 9 were mature and 5 fertilized. Development slowed on day 3. After more than 7 days, we received a call saying they had discarded the fertilized eggs because none developed into blastocysts. They did not offer to investigate why, and I do not even know whether testing was possible. In short, we felt deceived. It is unbelievable that none of five fertilized eggs developed fully and that the embryologist predicted before the procedure that we would get none or, if lucky, one. They do not listen. They only follow protocols and do not tailor care to individual needs. Like everyone else, they only want your money. We are devastated.

    Dr. Medica is warm, compassionate, and knowledgeable, and I am very grateful to have found her and this fertility care team. Although my fertility journey is just beginning, I already feel deeply cared for and hopeful. The FSMG team keeps me informed and responds quickly, providing tremendous comfort during this uncertain time in my life. I highly recommend this fertility clinic and Dr. Medica.

    I consulted three other fertility specialists, but the team at Fertility Specialists Medical Group was by far the best. Dr. Medica provided exceptional care and advice throughout my fertility treatment, and the support team was consistently responsive, efficient, and dedicated. Scheduling and communication by email and phone were seamless. I have only praise for the entire team. If you are unsure, start here—you will be glad you did. They truly care about you and your individual treatment journey. My husband feels the same way. Thank you all so much!

    Dr. Shelley is wonderful, and I highly recommend her. Two friends referred me, and I am grateful they did. She was kind and thorough, explaining the options, next steps, and—most importantly—the reasons behind her recommendations. I enjoyed the visit and look forward to continuing with her. Thank you, Dr. Shelley!

    Years of infertility were incredibly difficult, but the care from Shelley and her team changed everything. Shelley is positive, approachable, and easy to talk to. Through IVF, we now have two wonderful sons and will always be grateful.

    Dr. Wendy Shelly has been such an important part of my IVF journey over the past two years. I truly can’t say enough about how much she means to me and my family. She listens so carefully, always makes sure I feel heard, and isn’t afraid to guide me in a different direction when needed. I really respect how she balances compassion with honesty. She delivers news in a way that makes me feel safe and supported, no matter what the update is. My husband is just as big of a fan of hers as I am, which says a lot about the kind of care she provides. One of my favorite things about Dr. Shelly is her constant communication. She is always present, responsive, and fully invested, and she has truly never let me down. If you’re looking for a doctor who will work incredibly hard for you and stand by you through every step of your fertility journey, she is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful for everything she does and hope she continues this important, life-changing work for so many other women like me.

    Dr. Medica is amazing! From the moment you meet her, her calm, grounded presence immediately puts you at ease. Fertility treatment can be an emotional and stressful process, but she always explains everything clearly and simply, helping you feel reassured and supported at every step. She is highly knowledgeable and approachable and never makes you feel rushed or foolish for asking questions. Every visit feels like a conversation with someone who genuinely cares about you and your fertility journey. Put it this way: if calm, confidence, and compassion were hormones, Dr. Medica would keep mine perfectly balanced. 😄 I highly recommend her to anyone on a fertility journey!

I highly recommend her!

    我们对FSMG赞不绝口！ 我们有幸与莫拉莱斯医生合作，我们的女儿将于2026年12月出生，我们衷心感谢她。莫拉莱斯医生学识渊博，对工作极其投入。与她见面后，您就能感受到她在该领域的专业素养。有时，我会在预约时跟她提及我读到的一项新的试管婴儿研究，而她早已对这项研究了如指掌——从研究者到研究结果的深入解读，她都了如指掌。 莫拉莱斯医生会直言不讳地指出您的具体情况，并给出最佳的后续建议。我们曾就一些难以接受的消息向她提出过一些建议，她非常乐意接受，并在之后的每次就诊中都进行了调整。每个人的沟通方式都不同——但还有什么比一位能够以开放的心态回应您的沟通方式建议并加以改进的医生更令人欣然接受的呢？ 整个试管婴儿过程中，护理团队都非常支持我们，而且细致周到。我们非常感谢她们的悉心照料，以及她们花在我们身上的时间，确保我们了解接下来的步骤、如何测量和注射药物，并在整个过程中及时跟进。她们都非常亲切，让整个过程感觉不那么冷冰冰，更有人情味。 总而言之，如果您正在寻找进行生育治疗的机构，我们强烈推荐FSMG——不仅因为他们拥有优秀的团队，还因为他们提供的治疗效果！

    Dr. Morales is the best doctor I have ever met. She was kind and went above and beyond to help me relax during IVF treatment, which meant so much to me! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and takes time to explain everything. The nurses and assistants are genuinely kind and friendly and, like Dr. Morales, are always happy to answer every question. I highly recommend this place!

    Dr. Morales is unmatched, and I wish we had found her sooner. She is not only kind, compassionate, and professional but also exceptionally capable and thorough in her explanations. She ensures that everything is explained in detail throughout the process. Struggling to have a baby is a frightening and emotional journey, but if you are fortunate enough to have Dr. Morales beside you, you will not feel so alone amid the uncertainty. This office is immediately warm and welcoming, with positive energy and helpful staff.

    Dr. Arlene Morales is amazing. She is incredibly intelligent and straightforward, which I greatly appreciate—especially in a field that can sometimes feel sugarcoated or confusing. At the same time, she is very kind and compassionate when it matters most. I always felt that she put women first and genuinely cared about me and had my best interests at heart.

    A year has passed, and this review is overdue. First, I want to thank Dr. Shelly and all the wonderful staff for making my wife and me proud mothers! Before meeting with this fertility center, the process was heartbreaking, and we had been misled by other so-called fertility specialists. Once we were referred here, everything went smoothly and the experience was wonderful. They accommodated our busy work schedules. Every step was very thorough, and I cannot praise how smoothly everything went enough. I also want to give Denise in finance a high five for continuing to be so understanding, because we all know how much this costs. If you are reading this and unsure whom to choose for your new journey, do not hesitate to choose these doctors. I say this sincerely because I was once in your position, afraid and uncertain. I now have a beautiful girl whose photo I posted, and we are waiting a year before trying for our next joy! She was conceived on the first attempt. Good luck, and thank you, FSMG!!!!

    I cannot recommend Dr. Shelly and the entire FSMG team highly enough! Everyone was patient, helpful, and caring throughout the process. My biggest concern was the financial side, but the finance team answered all my questions and ensured there were no surprises. Highly recommended!

    This review is long overdue. My beautiful, perfect daughter is almost two! It is all thanks to Dr. Wendy Shelly! She and the entire staff are wonderful! My husband and I have been together for 7 years and married for 5, and we had been trying to have a child since we got married. I did everything I could on my own. Every doctor I saw told me why I should wait. I had some health issues and was overweight. Finally, my husband told me to forget what everyone else thought and meet with a fertility specialist. We went to Wendy based on a friend's recommendation, and I highly recommend her. At our first meeting, after I told her about all the natural approaches I had tried and promised that we would work together to improve my health, she hugged me. She answered all my questions and was always easy to reach when I needed to speak with her. We completed all the testing and addressed my health issues together. She recommended other specialists, and with the help of several doctors, after about 7 months I was healthy enough to proceed with treatment. She never said I could not do it. She said, let's address this first, then this, and so on. She was warm and kind and checked in with me during testing, health maintenance, and weight loss. She never required me to reach a certain weight, only to keep moving in the right direction. Once my bloodwork looked good, I had lost 30 pounds and was ready to proceed. I went through 3 IUI cycles before becoming pregnant. They were difficult, and I wanted to give up. Wendy never let me. She told me it was normal to need several attempts and make adjustments. After I became pregnant, I remained in her care until 10 weeks. She made sure the baby and I were healthy and recommended the best OB-GYN, who also took excellent care of me. Throughout the entire process, Wendy and the whole staff were kind, warm, and friendly. It is also the most efficient office I have ever visited. Paperwork is always where it needs to be, and you wait only a few minutes for your appointment! I brought my child in once, and Wendy was delighted to see us. If you are struggling to conceive, afraid of doctors, have questions, or are simply ready to become a parent, see Dr. Wendy Shelly now! I am preparing to see her while trying for a second pregnancy. Although I am nervous about doing this again, I know I will receive the best care. She gave me the greatest gift: my daughter. I do not know where I would be today without Wendy. My sweet Emmy certainly would not be here. Thank you so much, Wendy!

    I should have written this long ago. Dr. Shelly is the most amazing doctor! I came to her at an advanced maternal age of 41. After testing identified an issue, my OB performed a procedure. Once I healed, we were ready to begin. After two IUIs, I became pregnant. My beautiful daughter just turned two, and whenever we reach a major milestone, I think of Dr. Shelly because she made it possible. The office is very efficient, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. All financial details were disclosed from the beginning, so there were no surprises. At every step of the process, I felt that Dr. Shelly clearly knew what she was doing and handled everything with the greatest compassion. If you want the best, see Dr. Shelly!

    Dr. Shelly is the most compassionate, genuine, and caring doctor I have ever met. I had already gone through two treatments before seeing Dr. Shelly. She has helped my husband and me for nearly two years, and her bedside manner is impeccable. She answers every question thoroughly and never makes you feel rushed. Whenever someone tells me about their struggles with infertility, I tell them they must choose Dr. Shelly because this truly is her calling.
