We…read moreare fortunate to have never had a single issue between appointment scheduling, billing, portal communication, etc. The staff is incredibly on point and organized. Even better, everyone is genuinely friendly. They clearly see a high volume of patients, but still make you feel heard and give you the time and attention you need throughout such a personal and emotional journey. Dr. Carpinello has been our primary doctor, and we have also had multiple procedures with Dr. Owen. Both are fantastic and have exactly the kind of bedside manner you hope for when navigating fertility challenges. Their care and compassion made a huge difference in our experience and boosted our confidence throughout the entire process. I would have written this review regardless of our outcome, because the care we received was truly exceptional. We had a successful embryo transfer on our very first try at CCRM after having three failed transfers at another fertility clinic in the area. We are so thankful to Dr. Carpinello, Dr. Owen and the entire staff at CCRM.

CCRM NoVa has truly skilled doctors, but its operations team only adds to everything a woman loses in this already-trying process. It's the day after Thanksgiving, and I'm in a waiting room with 25 other women. Waiting. For hours. We each had an appointment time, which was meaningless. We lost this pseudo-holiday to drive here and wait. I'll also note, unlike any other fertility clinic I've been to, CCRM NoVa allows children in the waiting room, which to some is another marker of insensitivity. Expect competent doctors, but also expect this practice to make your already stressful experience more stressful and frustrating.

From the very first day I met Dr. Fady Sharara, I felt warmly welcomed. He greeted me with a big…read moresmile, made me feel comfortable, and most importantly, made me feel heard. Fertility is not an easy topic to talk about, and going through fertility treatment can be emotionally challenging. From the beginning, he made me feel that I was in safe hands. I will never forget when he told me, "I'll do everything I can to help you become parents." Those words meant so much to me and gave me so much hope and happiness. Dr. Sharara is truly a master in his field, and I feel incredibly lucky that he was my first fertility doctor. I have heard from other people who started their fertility journey with different doctors and eventually changed doctors because they didn't feel comfortable with the way they were treated or didn't feel sufficiently supported. I am very grateful that I never had that experience. From the beginning, I felt respected, listened to, and cared for. Of course, medical knowledge and treatment are extremely important, but I personally believe that the human side matters just as much during a fertility journey. When you feel safe, supported, and confident in your doctor and your team, it can make such a difference emotionally. Constant worry and overthinking can make an already difficult journey even harder. Having a doctor who gives you hope and makes you feel that you are in good hands is priceless. Throughout my IVF journey, Dr. Sharara was always professional and supportive. He gave me recommendations about lifestyle, supplements, and different ways to improve my chances. We went through our first IVF cycle, and because I had diminished ovarian reserve, my body did not produce many eggs. In the end, we were able to have one frozen embryo. We later talked about a second cycle, and Dr. Sharara adjusted my medications and treatment approach to give me better chances. But then something truly amazing happened--I became pregnant naturally! When I shared the news with Dr. Sharara, I could see how genuinely happy he was for me. His nurses and staff were also incredibly happy and supportive. They made me feel like I was not just another patient, but part of a family. What I remember most about my experience is not only the medications, supplements, or medical treatment. It is the kindness, reassurance, and emotional support I received from Dr. Sharara and his entire team. During fertility treatment, those things matter tremendously. I will always be grateful for the way Dr. Sharara treated me and for the hope and confidence he gave me throughout my journey. I feel very lucky that he was the doctor who guided me through the beginning of this journey. I highly recommend meeting Dr. Sharara if you are going through fertility treatment. His medical expertise is exceptional, but what makes the experience truly special is the way he treats his patients--with kindness, compassion, and genuine care.

She was amazing! She wanted me to give her at least 3 months because acupuncture (and most eastern medicine) itself is not a fast treatment as your body has to adjust and slowly heal yourself from within. But also a women's eggs each cycle, are nurtured 3 months in advance. I conceived naturally by the end of month 3. My IVF doctor had given me a 7% chance at ever conceiving naturally but here I am today, with a healthy baby and it's all thanks to Jennifer!

I tried to avoid going to SGF based on the horrible reviews and instead chose to drive 2 hrs to a…read morefertility clinic in network. Unfortunately after 3 IUIs we did not have success, and so we had to switch to SGF since it was the only in network provider close to our house. Everything was smooth in the beginning - the Dr accepted all of our previous testing through the other clinic so we were basically able to jump right in (after we received documentation that we were fully pre-approved for 3 cycles of IUI through Aetna). Long story short - after 1 IUI we had a successful pregnancy. We were shocked and thrilled...until we received a bill for thousands! Aetna claimed SGF was billing with "the wrong code"...and the only way you can contact SGF billing is messaging through the online portal (I left no less than 20 messages on their phone line, none of which were ever returned, nor did anyone ever pick up). Since I had been fully pre approved for these treatments I figured there had to be some easy solution...months went by with HOURS spent on the phone trying to work this out and finally SGF contacted me and said more or less they were giving up and wiping my account balance. When I tried to press that I had already paid about $600 they gave me some generic brush off answer. At that point I gave up...although it should have been free, I figured 600 was worth it for my baby. Fast forward to a year later and I received a check for the 600 due to some billing review process. So all in all it worked out and they righted their wrong although I still have no earthly idea why my coverage was denied despite being preapproved...seems really shady. Overall: +1 star bc I did get pregnant +1 star bc the doctors and nurses we worked with were great +1 star bc SGF reimbursed us for an error on their behalf (?) Or Aetna's...I really have no idea, I just know we did everything correct on our end. -1 star for zero communication outside of vague portal messaging -1 star for atrocious billing dept If you read though reviews on SGF there is a common theme of billing complaints. I knew this going in and was VERY prepared and STILL almost got screwed over. Someone within this organization needs to pay attention and fix whatever is broken. As someone who works in healthcare I know insurance is a pain to deal with, but it's your job to get it right and not just pass the bill onto your patients.
