Extremely predatory billing. They arbitrarily doubled my storage fees, claiming that each sample's freezing date carries a separate monthly charge, and apparently I owe a large amount because a system error prevented proper billing. That is not how the clinic explained it to me.

Infertility is already one of the hardest experiences, and Shady Grove has made it worse. I just learned that negligence by my financial and clinical teams caused my insurance authorization to be denied. This means my next egg retrieval, already delayed because Shady Grove will not see me until authorization is obtained, will now be delayed another 4 months. I turn 40 in November. Do they not understand that every day matters in this process? You only hear from the doctor at the start of treatment and when there is bad news. It is nearly impossible to meet with them, and they delegate almost everything to the nursing team. I am deeply disappointed by their lack of thought and care. This clinic's mistake may cost me a child and my future.

Fast, efficient, and effective!! Thank you to Rosalee, Ty, and Stephanie for the quick and painless blood draw, and to Sadie Shana and Dr. Csokmay for taking such good care of us.
Jun 27, 2025
Latrice Okoro is a superstar sonographer! She went above and beyond to make years of difficult medical care less stressful for me. I believe she also helped me safely bring three children into the world. She always did everything she could with a smile and remained hopeful even during difficult times. She makes SGF a place where patients feel seen and cared for. Thank you, Latrice!!!

My wife and I have been with Shady Grove Kst for three months. Booking online was easy. Dr. Devine and her team are welcoming and responsive. Patient care coordinator Alicja Koslo is the best 🙏🏽. She believes SGF will bring a good result. I know everything follows God's plan, and the doctors here are his helpers. Thank you for accompanying us on our journey to parenthood.
Aug 25, 2025
Alanah, Sarah, and Ty are wonderful. I genuinely look forward to seeing them for bloodwork every morning!

I would never recommend Shady Grove. My IVF experience was terrible. The title "patient care coordinator" is misleading: I coordinated all my care, spending hours daily between the pharmacy, insurer, and clinic begging for prior authorization. There was little or no counseling, and I always felt lost. My complaints include: - Repeatedly being told to attend on the wrong dates during intrauterine insemination (IUI). - No counseling after IUI and not learning until round three or four to avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). - A failed pregnancy test. - Overhearing doctors and nurses discuss my case before egg retrieval. - Anesthesia before egg retrieval. - Monitoring-call staff not knowing which weekend clinics were open. - Finance refusing an itemized bill. Unless you can coordinate all your care and investigate every mistake, avoid Shady Grove. Some nurses who call are also very rude and unhelpful, exactly what you need during the hardest time of your life :)

Based on our recent experience, I do not recommend Shady Grove Fertility. On July 21, 2025, we booked a July 29 appointment at 9:30 a.m., completed all paperwork, and received an official calendar invitation. When we arrived, we learned Dr. Moon had apparently left one voicemail on July 22 requesting a change to July 31. That was the only attempt: no follow-up call, email, or updated invitation confirming we received or accepted the change. We wasted time attending an appointment that had been changed unilaterally without confirmation. This communication is unacceptable for a medical practice, especially fertility care, where timing and stress are already significant. A reputable clinic should use multiple contact methods and ensure patients acknowledge appointment changes. The lack of follow-up shows little respect for patients' time. I strongly recommend seeking fertility care elsewhere.
Jul 24, 2025
My advice is to choose another fertility clinic instead of those unreliable Groves.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Devine and his team. I received care from Dr. Devine twice, 6 years apart, and both experiences were rewarding. The nurses—Beth, Jen, and Emma—were responsive, communicated well, and helped whenever I had a problem. The phlebotomists were always highly efficient, and thanks to them I am no longer afraid of blood draws. Most of all, I want to thank our outstanding physician assistant, Shana, who handled most of my ultrasound appointments. Shana was a bright light, making every ultrasound fun, full of laughter, and honestly entertaining. My husband and I always felt as though we were spending time with a close friend rather than speaking with a healthcare professional. Shana, thank you so much for making our experience wonderful. We will always appreciate you and wish you happiness and success. We pray you continue creating positive experiences for every family you meet. You made this journey better. Thank you.

Leka, Carissa, Cathy, and Tamiko are all wonderful. They are always energetic and make you feel comfortable. Even when the journey is difficult, they make it enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Sep 13, 2025
I greatly enjoyed working with everyone at Shady Grove. IVF is not a pleasant process, but the kind staff made daily blood draws easy. Dr. Csokmay is also one of the best and most compassionate doctors I have worked with. Thank you all!
Sep 10, 2025
Our experience at Shady Grove was always excellent. Our doctor was caring, listened closely to all our concerns, and answered them patiently. I appreciated that they performed the hysterosalpingogram (HSG) in the clinic, making the experience quick and painless. If we have difficulty conceiving again, we will definitely return to Shady Grove.

Dr. Moon, Kayla, and RosaLee are fantastic. They helped me seamlessly through insurance approvals and through my appointments. Grateful to the team!
Oct 13, 2025
Denae was wonderful. I had not fainted during a blood test in a long time, but this was the first time it happened in years.
Oct 8, 2025
Today, Sarah Smith, Cathy, and Tamiko made me feel very welcome and truly listened to me. Their smiles alone made me feel much better, and I appreciated that they took time to observe how I was doing. Every time I have blood drawn, all the staff are kind and calm with me. It makes this fertility journey much easier.

I loved my experience at Shady Grove. From the initial consultation, I knew I could trust Dr. Devine. She was patient, carefully reviewed my medical history before the consultation, and explained her analysis very well. She even shared her screen to show us IVF success rates under several different models, explained the differences, and clearly communicated her recommendation. During treatment, I visited the K Street clinic. Everyone there, from receptionists to phlebotomists, was wonderful—easy to reach, positive, and helpful. After each visit, I received a call from my nurse Jen, Emma, or Grace. They answered my questions patiently, took time to explain details, and always supported my decisions. They responded to portal messages very quickly; I never waited more than 24 hours, which was very reassuring. I had expected more frequent direct contact with Dr. Devine, but learned that she and the other K Street doctors reviewed every patient's results daily. Their treatment recommendations were simply communicated through the nurses, with whom I developed close relationships. I had two successful egg retrievals and one transfer at the Rockville clinic, which has a beautiful environment and wonderful staff. I am now 14 weeks pregnant. I am so glad I chose Shady Grove because it was truly the perfect place for me.

I highly recommend Dr. Kate Devine. When I first saw her more than ten years ago, I was considering egg freezing but felt hesitant. She compassionately offered sound advice and a realistic assessment. This grounded me and gave me hope. She also made thoughtful protocol adjustments throughout the process. When I began IVF last year, I felt reassured knowing I was starting with her. Her focus on research and patient care helped me through this challenging period, and her distinctive approach combines empathy, skill, and experience. Recently, at age 45, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I will always be grateful to her, her team, and Dr. Saffan. None of this would have been possible without them.

I went in for genetic testing today, and everything went very smoothly. Although I arrived 30 minutes early, it took less than 15 minutes. Special thanks to Alanah for drawing my blood. If I had not watched her insert the needle, I would not have felt it. She was very gentle, quick, and kind. Incredibly efficient.
Dec 2, 2025
Everyone is very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You feel the warm atmosphere as soon as you enter, and they always do their best to help.

The laboratory team is always excellent, but Rosalee was especially gentle and thoughtful during my blood draw and deserves recognition!
Dec 24, 2025
The place is very charming. Everyone is extremely friendly and efficient. Milan at the front desk is amazing!
Dec 19, 2025
Working with Shady Grove was a pleasure! They were knowledgeable, approachable, and responsive, which was very helpful whenever I needed medical guidance to ease anxiety throughout IVF. I highly recommend the Shady Grove K St clinic to anyone considering IVF!
Dec 12, 2025
Every member of the Shady Grove Fertility team was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. At every appointment, the front desk staff welcomed me warmly with smiles. The blood draw team was patient, careful, and thoughtful. Fertility treatment can require blood draws several times a week, so having people who treat each patient with such care truly matters. The sonographers were also highly professional and made me feel at ease. Follow-up calls from the medical team were informative and supportive, and they patiently answered all my questions. I am very glad I chose SGF and highly recommend them, especially the K Street location.

This place is wonderful! It is beautifully designed and peaceful—I could stay all day. The staff are very friendly and efficient. For a large clinic, it is exceptionally well run.

We are beyond grateful for Dr. Csokmay and his incredible team for helping us start our family. From our very first appointment, Dr. Csokmay was kind, gentle, and genuinely compassionate. He always took the time to explain each step of the process, answer our questions, and reassure us during what was an emotional and overwhelming journey. His calm presence and expertise made us feel supported and confident in our care. The front desk staff were just as wonderful. They were always warm, welcoming, and helpful, which made every visit feel easier. A special thank you to Latrice, one of the ultrasound technicians, who showed us so much kindness and compassion throughout our time there. Her gentle approach and encouragement meant more to us than she will ever know. Fertility treatment was never easy, but this entire team went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible. Because of them, my husband and I were able to start the family we dreamed of, and we will always be grateful for their care, dedication, and kindness. We truly could not have asked for a better doctor or team to be part of our journey.

Alanah was amazing!!!!!!!!!! She was very gentle and considerate during my blood draw!

Shady Grove has always been wonderful. We really appreciate all the reminders and information they send to help us stay on track!
Jan 10, 2026
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Selma Amrane. During the consultation, she was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. She answered all our questions and taught us things about genetic disorders that we had not previously considered. Ornella Adjeye was our patient care coordinator and was an excellent communicator who was always available to answer our questions. We wanted diagnostic information about our current fertility status, and she neither dismissed us nor pressured us. If I need fertility assistance in the future, I would definitely choose Dr. Amrane again.

After a lot of research on egg freezing clinics, I decided to go with Shady Grove Fertility because of the Assure 20 Program--I'm so glad I did! Everyone at the office was so friendly and helpful! From the front desk staff to the nursing staff to the doctors, I felt like I was getting the best care. I'm especially grateful to Jane, who was my fertility nurse coordinator, and to Dr. Csokmay, who was my doctor throughout my program. Jane was a compassionate, knowledgeable partner for me throughout the process. She was quick to answer questions through the portal and went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible for me! Dr. Csokmay was such a calming presence throughout the process, as well. His expertise and kindness made the whole egg freezing process much easier. I had put off egg freezing for a while because it was such a daunting process to me. But, the wonderful people at Shady Grove Fertility made something that seemed so intimidating into a process that was positive and empowering! Thank you so much to you all :)

Dr. Devine and the Entire Team, Because of your patience, attentiveness, frequent and consistent communication, and the calm, friendly engagement of your entire team, my husband and I felt at ease throughout our IVF journey even in moments that felt uncertain or overwhelming. You didn’t just provide medical care. You provided reassurance, clarity, compassion, and hope.

I received excellent care at Shady Grove and believe we will welcome our baby with their help. Every staff member was kind and professional. Rosalee assisted me today, and she was wonderful.

This office runs very efficiently. Special praise for Ornella, who is the best phlebotomist I have ever met. She is careful and patient.
Mar 10, 2026
Alana was very kind, and the blood draw was quick and easy. She was skilled and professional and kept me comfortable throughout.
Feb 27, 2026
I froze my eggs at the Arlington office a few years ago, but because I live nearby, I came to the K Street office for blood tests and ultrasounds. The experience was terrible, with constant delays and extremely rude behavior. You work at a fertility clinic—find another job. Years later, I returned to Shady Grove. Dealing with the front desk here is still painful and again reminded me that it is worth driving elsewhere for any labs or tests. I cannot imagine being a regular patient here. No, thank you!
Feb 1, 2026
I spent most of my savings and got nothing. I know success is not guaranteed, but their doctors are skilled at convincing you they can help you become pregnant while administrators avoid discussing hidden fees. I followed their plan, but it did not work. The medication prescribed to increase and balance testosterone did not work. None of their attempts worked. Their testing is accurate, but even after all the tests and everything else, be prepared to pay out of pocket because insurance covers only 5% of the cost. They charge for everything. I am now broke and cannot afford a child, which reminds me of what someone told me: infertility is a disease and problem for the wealthy. If you have money to spare—seriously, $79,000—and want to do everything possible, try it. Otherwise, you may end up frustrated and feeling useless, regretting the money and thinking you could have taken a vacation with your partner or used it for a down payment on a home. I advise anyone seriously considering treatment at Shady Grove to calculate every financial detail in advance and avoid payment plans, loans, or other financing. You may be better off flying to Colombia, the Dominican Republic, or Mexico and finding a fertility specialist who can provide all this and more for about $12,000.
Mar 28, 2026
I am very satisfied with the results of my egg freezing at Shady Grove. Thank you for making the entire process so smooth.
Mar 27, 2026
Rosalee is amazing!!!
Mar 26, 2026
The team at Shady Grove Fertility’s K Street clinic is incredible! From the front desk and phlebotomy nurses to every technician and doctor, everyone treats each patient with dignity, care, and respect. As a queer, transgender/nonbinary person, I was nervous at first, but they made me feel completely welcome. I have never encountered such a compassionate medical team. I have been afraid of blood draws my entire life, yet this wonderful team made me look forward to every visit. They always make me smile. Special thanks to DeNae, who does an excellent job with every blood draw! And to the amazing person who always creates thoughtful playlists and greets me whenever she sees my name, please forgive me for forgetting your name—you always brighten my day. I highly recommend this team!
Mar 23, 2026
All the women at SGF are amazing! Special thanks to Rosalee, who is so welcoming! Thank you all 🥰
Mar 18, 2026
Maybe I have just been unlucky. The office is nice and the staff are friendly, but whenever I come here, I know I will be late. For bloodwork, I am usually delayed by about 30 minutes. The process is disorganized, and this has happened more than once. If you have nowhere else to be and do not mind waiting, it may not be a big issue. But when you are sitting at the blood draw station and they call 8 people you saw arrive after you, staff do not seem to investigate unless you get up and ask.
May 17, 2026
Hayden was amazing. I was very nervous when I arrived because I sometimes faint during blood draws. She took me to an examination room, elevated my legs, and had me lean back. I did not even feel the needle, and before I knew it, the vials were full and she was bandaging my arm. I have never felt so relaxed during a blood draw.
May 15, 2026
I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Kathryn Devine and the team at Shady Grove Fertility. I found Dr. Devine at age 43 after a difficult fertility journey and prior treatment overseas. It took me a long time to find the right doctor and clinic, and I feel extremely fortunate to have become her patient. With Dr. Devine's treatment plan and the team's coordinated care, I became pregnant after my first embryo transfer, which still feels incredible. This is a very busy and highly organized clinic, so patients should understand that they may not have extended face-to-face time with the doctor at every stage. In my experience, however, the care was attentive, efficient, and well coordinated. I also appreciated that they respected my preferences, including my wish not to take birth control pills to schedule my cycle. I am now 44 and hope to deliver a healthy baby in December. I will always be grateful to Dr. Devine and her team for helping us reach this point.
Apr 25, 2026
Our experience at Shady Grove was excellent. Facing infertility repeatedly is undoubtedly a difficult journey. From start to finish, the entire Shady Grove staff stood beside us. From the welcoming front desk to the professional support team and compassionate medical staff, their expert and attentive care left nothing to be desired. If you are struggling with infertility, choose Shady Grove. They will do everything possible to give you the best care.
Apr 20, 2026
We are so appreciative of Dr. Csokmay and the K Street team especially Jane! Both of them were so compassionate, caring and just amazing through our IVF journey. Every ultrasound I had Jane would come down and check on me, say hi and Dr. Csokmay was always there to explain or walk me through any procedures. It was so personal and just felt like they were all rooting for us through the process especially during the tough parts.

Rosalie is an absolute angel, highly skilled and always smiling!
Jun 9, 2026
This SGF location is superb. The space is huge and beautifully furnished, providing a calming atmosphere. The exam rooms are clean and comfortable. Most importantly, the staff are some of the kindest humans you will meet—especially DeNae, Alanah, Hayden, Rose, and Ornella! Fertility treatment requires a lot of clinic visits and I was seeing these ladies multiple times a week. They always greeted me with a smile and showed genuine care and compassion. I felt reassured and hopeful each time I saw them. Highly recommend SGF (especially the K Street location) for anyone’s fertility journey.

I would feel irresponsible if I did not write this review. Please do not choose this organization. I began freezing embryos in January. Throughout my experience with Shady Grove, the problems were consistent: inaccurate information, poor communication, and a complete lack of accountability when their mistakes had real consequences. They take no responsibility for misinformation and offer no remedy. In my case, I spent months planning my entire cycle around the genetic testing requirements. They repeatedly told me I could freeze the embryos first and test them later. However, after I completed my baseline ultrasound and bloodwork and was scheduled to start medication that evening, they told me this was not actually possible. This should have been made clear before treatment began. That same day, I also learned that my Washington, DC clinic only performs monitoring ultrasounds from 7 to 9 in the morning, forcing me to make a one-hour round trip to Rockville for the required testing. During this process, I was told that the treatment plan I had relied on for months could not proceed as planned. Over the next several hours, I was passed between genetics, nursing, clinical staff, and finance. I received conflicting information and saw no coordination. Our calls went unanswered, and after hours and on weekends, it was nearly impossible to find anyone who could address the issue or provide clear guidance on the next steps. The financial process was especially unacceptable. Although I had already paid a substantial amount and purchased the medications, I was suddenly told that my “financial clearance” was incomplete. On the Friday before treatment was to begin, I received a long list of outstanding payments. However, I could access a payment link for only one item. My patient checklist showed that the remaining items were not yet due, and the “pay deposit” option did not specify the deposit amount. When I asked how much I needed to pay to obtain financial clearance, no one could tell me. The only “solution” I was given was to take birth control pills over the weekend and return on Monday, hoping my levels would be better than they had been on Friday. A weekend manager suggested that I should have handled these financial matters months earlier. However, my financial counselor had not provided these requirements months earlier, and I did not receive my first notice about several of them until Friday morning. Furthermore, during numerous discussions about changes to the treatment plan or next steps, no one ever mentioned that an outstanding balance might prevent treatment from proceeding. The issue surfaced only after everyone had left for the day, when no one was available to resolve it. I felt that I was not treated as an individual who needed to complete a time-sensitive medical process, but instead was processed by a system unable to handle anything outside its standard workflow. Every department passed responsibility to another, and every question received the same generic response. Fertility treatment already carries an enormous emotional, physical, and financial burden. Patients should not have to manage their own treatment like project managers while also trying to correct the clinic's mistakes.

I would like to recognize Milan for the exceptional service she provides at the front desk. From the moment patients enter the office, Milan creates a warm, friendly, and professional atmosphere. She is kind, patient, and genuinely eager to help every patient who comes in. She communicates clearly, listens carefully to patients' concerns, and goes above and beyond to ensure that questions are answered and needs are addressed promptly. Milan, thank you for providing patients with exceptional care and support. Your dedication, professionalism, and commitment are admirable. Your efforts are noticed and deeply appreciated.

The care team at Shady Grove on K Street in Washington, D.C., is truly outstanding! The front desk team is always so warm and friendly. They remember everyone's face and name and always make the entire process run smoothly. Whether I need to reschedule, ask a question, or let them know that I will be five or ten minutes late, I can reach them easily. Tamiko, Delarenta, Cathy, Rissa, Yolanda, and Milan—these women are both professional and kind, and they all deserve a raise! I also love seeing my clinical support team, who make me forget that I am there for tests and treatments. Sarah, Alanah, DeNae, Hayden, and Sharayh are caring and kind to every patient. They appreciate my sense of humor and make me feel comfortable and cared for. They are always upbeat and play great music; we absolutely love them. When you are undergoing treatment that can be extremely personal, painful, and sometimes even heartbreaking, having optimistic, friendly people around who treat you well means so much. After so many treatments, I should be relieved to have finally completed my care at SGF, but I have mixed feelings knowing that I will no longer see these amazing women every other day. Thank you to the SGF K Street team for everything! —Mandy Critchfield Bloom

Alanah drew my blood today, and she was amazing! This is my third egg retrieval, and I am still afraid of needles. She made it painless and distracted me throughout the procedure. Thank you so much for making this morning so easy and pleasant.

Dr. Marinaro and his urology team are outstanding. Before surgery, they made me feel very reassured and relaxed and thoroughly explained everything I needed to know. All the staff were wonderful.

Dr. Amrane is an absolute gem! She made this journey so easy, as did Nurse Alvonda! Words cannot express how grateful I am to them!

Dr. Amrane and her team were exceptional. Throughout my fertility treatment journey, I received outstanding care and thoughtful medical guidance. I’m especially grateful for Dr. Amrane’s patience and her commitment to explaining every step with clarity, professionalism, sensitivity, and respect. My journey with SGF and Dr. Amrane was about one year from the first consultation, medical examination, diagnosis, and finally, the IVF treatment, resulting in a positive pregnancy in our second embryo transfer. I will be forever thankful!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Selma Amrane throughout my fertility treatment. From the beginning, her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care made a difficult process much easier. She was thorough, attentive, and reassuring. She explained every step clearly and patiently answered my questions. The support I received was outstanding, and her team ensured consistent follow-up, so I felt reassured and never alone throughout the process. What impressed me most was how smoothly everything went, without any frustrating issues. Fertility treatment can be extremely stressful, but Dr. Amrane’s organized treatment plan and caring approach made a crucial difference. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I am deeply grateful to have achieved a successful pregnancy. I highly recommend Dr. Selma Amrane to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, supportive fertility specialist who truly cares about her patients.
Apr 24, 2026
I highly recommend Dr. Amrane and the entire Shady Grove Fertility team. Dr. Amrane is exceptional. Her knowledge gave me confidence in my treatment plan, and she explained every step so thoroughly that I never felt confused or uneasy. She anticipated my questions, took time to understand my goals, and genuinely cared about my comfort and well-being throughout. I feel very fortunate to have had her support. Olivia and Chelsea were also an excellent team: communicative, thoughtful, kind, and always prompt in addressing my questions and concerns. Daily monitoring appointments also ran smoothly. Although fertility treatment is never entirely easy, I can still say without hesitation: 1000/10! I have already recommended Dr. Amrane to friends and family. Thank you, Dr. Amrane. My outcome exceeded my expectations.
Apr 25, 2026
Seeking fertility help is not easy. You want a doctor who is caring and compassionate as well as experienced and highly skilled in the field. Dr. Amrane is exactly that physician. Her knowledge, professionalism, and clinical skill are first-rate. She supported us throughout treatment, and we are deeply grateful. If you need an infertility specialist, contact Dr. Amrane.
Feb 8, 2026
Dr. Amrane is the doctor every fertility patient hopes to find. At our first meeting, her extensive knowledge and confidence immediately put us at ease. It was wonderful to find a physician we could trust completely. She supported us throughout the journey, never gave up hope, and guided us through difficult moments with patience and kindness. I highly recommend her—her patients are very fortunate to have her!

Dr. Amrane is kind, thoughtful, and very patient. She personally calls with updates and discusses every treatment option. At my age, I wanted to try a less conventional approach—skipping PGTA—just to see whether it might work. She thoroughly explained the risks and benefits and did not discourage me from trying. It worked! I am incredibly grateful!

From start to finish, they helped me tremendously and answered every question without hesitation. I felt comfortable and cared for with them. I am glad I chose Shady Grove Fertility.

If I have the opportunity to do this again, I will choose you as my team again.

Dr. Amrane and the staff at SGF were incredibly knowledgable and professional. Each appointment I was in and out within 30 minutes. I was very impressed with the speedy and easy communication at any time. I had a very successful egg freezing cycle. Highly recommend!

Dr. Amrane was wonderful and gave my partner and me tremendous support through the lengthy testing process, donor selection, and eventual egg retrieval. Her calm, steady, and practical manner was very reassuring, especially during a process filled with uncertainty and questions. We are very grateful for her expertise and for how thoroughly she prepared us for successful IVF treatment.

Words are truly not enough to express how grateful we are to Dr. Amrane. After 12 long years of waiting, hoping, praying, and never giving up, she made what once felt impossible finally become our miracle. Because of her dedication, compassion, and unwavering belief in us, we are now able to become parents. Dr. Amrane is not only an exceptional doctor, but a genuinely kind and caring human being. She walked this journey with us, gave us hope when it was hard to find, and treated us with so much patience and respect. We will forever be thankful for her expertise, her heart, and the miracle she helped bring into our lives. This blessing is something we will carry with us forever. Thank you will never be enough. 💛

I wish I had never been matched with Dr. Selma Amrane for fertility treatment. She was unprofessional, careless, and irresponsible. Her repeated mistakes cost me thousands of dollars and months of heartbreak. For my first egg-freezing cycle with Dr. Amrane in March, she prescribed very high doses of Follistim and Menopur, which were never adjusted during any of my four cycles with her. By day 3, it was clear that I had a lead follicle, but she decided to continue. On day 7, they abruptly canceled the cycle through a nurse’s voicemail: “Sorry, we need to cancel your procedure.” There was no explanation or compassion. Only after I persisted did Dr. Amrane call and say, “The body does what it wants.” For my second cycle, she kept me on birth control for more than 3 weeks. My new doctor later confirmed this was entirely wrong for my ovarian profile because it caused oversuppression. My follicle count fell by more than 70%. When I confronted her, she denied it because she thought I had taken the pills for only a few days. When I reminded her how long she had prescribed them, she dismissed it again. Despite the abnormally low follicle count, she encouraged me to continue, implying that my fertility was “just low.” Thankfully, online resources helped me recognize that the numbers reflected oversuppression and that continuing would have been a serious mistake. For my third attempt, I stayed with Dr. Selma because switching doctors in Singapore is difficult, and I forced myself to trust her. She made another serious medication-monitoring error, prescribing excessive estradiol for more than 3 weeks and disrupting my estrogen levels. She still did not know how long I had taken it and blamed the high estrogen on my body. The nurse performing my ultrasound said it was unreasonable to claim the high level was unrelated to prolonged estradiol use and advised me to change doctors. Despite the hormonal imbalance, Dr. Selma proceeded with the third cycle, again using high doses of Menopur and Follistim. Mid-cycle, she went on vacation without telling me or arranging appropriate coverage. When complications arose, only one on-call nurse was available. My trigger was earlier than expected, and only two eggs were mature. Afterward, I finally spoke with Dr. Amrane. She accepted no responsibility and said my body simply “did not respond, my fertility may be lower than the tests show,” and that I should consider donor eggs. I was 35 with reasonably good fertility markers. At our final consultation, I asked whether we could try another approach for better results. Dr. Selma firmly said “no” and claimed her approach was the only option. Months later, I finally changed doctors. My new doctor reviewed my case, confirmed Dr. Amrane’s dosing and protocol errors, and carefully developed a new plan better suited to my physiology. In summary, I believe Dr. Selma Amrane’s care was negligent, passive, and harmful. She failed to monitor treatment properly, ignored warning signs, and refused accountability. She also tended to speak condescendingly to patients and became visibly irritated or dismissive when asked for clarification. I hope sharing this experience prevents others from going through what I did.

Dr. Amrane was the perfect doctor for me and a wonderful fit. Throughout treatment, she was always willing to meet with me and answer all my questions. She not only allowed me to make my own treatment decisions but also ensured that I had enough knowledge to make them. My nurse Alyssa was also wonderful. I could not have found a better or kinder nurse. Without her, I do not think I would have achieved my current outcome—I might have given up long ago. I will always be grateful to both women.

Dr. Amrane is wonderful! With help from her and her team, we had a baby and achieved two successful pregnancies, with the second still underway. Her and Alvonda's knowledge and communication with my husband and me throughout our pregnancies were comforting and reassuring, especially when I was unsure about the next step or worried about my health. They, along with the nurses and technicians at Harbor East and Towson, were exceptional. They remembered my husband and me and made us feel like part of their family. Thank you for everything!

Dr. Amrane, my nurse Alyssa, and the technicians at the Towson clinic made me feel supported throughout. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Dr. Amrane! She supported us throughout intrauterine insemination (IUI), and I felt her genuine excitement when our second attempt succeeded. She answered every question honestly and thoroughly. In her care, I felt completely at ease and trusted that she would do everything possible to help us become pregnant. During such a discouraging time in our lives, she consistently treated us with compassion and understanding, eased our worries, and made us feel that having our own child was not only possible but inevitable.

Dr. Selma Amrane is among the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctors we have met. From the start of IVF, she made us feel heard, supported, and confident. She explained every step patiently and clearly and spoke Spanish with us whenever possible, helping us feel reassured and understood. Thanks to her care and expertise, we are now expecting our miracle baby. We are deeply grateful! If you want a fertility specialist who truly cares, speaks your language, and treats you with dignity and sincerity, choose Dr. Amrane. Thank you so much, doctor! Thank you for walking with us and changing our lives. ❤️ — R&O

Dr. Amrane was my doctor for my second pregnancy, and I am very grateful! She is kind and compassionate and communicates honestly even when discussing highly sensitive matters. She guided us through intrauterine insemination (IUI) and then the decision to pursue in vitro fertilization (IVF). We are very grateful for her thoughtful care and extensive knowledge. She guided us through the entire process and ultimately helped us find what worked. Thank you, Dr. Amrane!

I recommend Dr. Amrane to anyone undergoing infertility treatment. She is patient, kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring. My husband and I worked with her for over two years during our infertility journey. As time passed, I felt we might never have the family we wanted so much, but Dr. Amrane's faith and confidence in the process never wavered. She respected both of us and provided all the details and information we needed to make treatment decisions. She never rushed an appointment or call and genuinely wanted to ensure that all our questions and concerns were addressed. She always had a plan and guided us through those two years. Even when I became emotional and wanted to give up, she assured me that we were not alone and that the process could and would work. The journey had many ups and downs, and she was there throughout, celebrating the highs and guiding us through the lows. When we are ready to expand our family, I will return to Dr. Amrane without hesitation. She is the best!

It was a pleasure working with Dr. Amrane and her team! They took time to answer my questions, made sure I was comfortable with the process, explained everything in detail, communicated well, and took extra care with some unusual aspects of my case. I have worked with other fertility doctors, and none compare with Dr. Amrane! I highly recommend her and her team.

Dr. Amrane is an excellent doctor. We had two successful transfers with her, and 3 with Shady Grove overall! She is caring and thorough, follows up, and we trust her opinion. We love her :)
