There are four fertility clinics local to us but we chose to travel out of state to Shady Grove for…read moretreatment. They set the bar high and are a model of patient-centric care that other clinics should strive to be. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Bromer and staff...he's a caring physician whose expertise we wholeheartedly trust. After submitting my review I read the previous reviews and am compelled to edit. In our six years of fertility treatments at several different clinics, every single one of them has called me with my results and instructions. This is not unusual whatsoever and I, personally, prefer this human approach so I can ask questions, etc. HOWEVER, for those who prefer technology and a less personal approach, Shady Grove does also utilize a patient portal where you can access your results if your labs are drawn in-house, you can communicate with your care team, you can access your financial documents, treatment plan/calendar, etc. I also have to comment about the waiting room in Frederick. The previous review made me laugh out loud. I'm almost speechless (but obviously not so much) that there are actually people who feel the need to be pampered in a clinical setting. This isn't a cosmetic surgeon or random business trying to woo you with plush couches, Evo water and foot massages. It is a clinical setting and the waiting room is clean, inviting, modern and very appropriate. I was there for one reason, and was more concerned with level of care, treatment options, etc. than trivial things such as the waiting room.

Go figure, insurance is playing games and while the appeal was underway, they charged my card anyways. Something they VERY MUCH KNEW of the events that were underway. Now, they are holding my card hostage and refuse to remove it while we try to figure out this insurance stunt. Update: you people did it again! After being told to stop. I congratulate you on what was supposed to be a glimmer of hope for my wife and I. Instead, you have taken that and turned us into a cash cow that you milk like a parasite. Insurance has been figured out, the bills should have been reprocessed or at least you told us they were. Yet you STILL continue. I warn each and everyone who would like to explore shady grove. THEY ARE SHADY. It is in the name. By the way, I did reach out. You told me you will not remove my card unless I gave you another one. You told me you have no idea when the next charge would be and you would at least give us a message before hand. Guess what we didn't get.

Dr. Cross is does not explain anything and seems to not understand or care about what clients are going through during this time the compassion from her is zero. if you move forward with them, even if you ask to speak with finance multiple times, you'll be assured everything is fine then shocker it's not. they messed up our billing and put us as self pay even though finance assured us we have great insurance. the bill from them to me is almost 3,000$ and I never recieved any diagnosis or treatment. they also will not send me my results so that I can get a new doctor. This place needs to be shut down they are not complying with normal medical ethics.

She didn't let another clinic's faults impact her careful approach to treatment. And as she'd always tell me, "we are accounting for so many variables". After 5 traumatic cycles with another clinic who didn't care to make changes, Dr Martini approached my treatment with purpose and care and it was successful! She may be younger than the other doctor at my other clinic, but she is a powerhouse. I've referred so many people to her and will do so forever. I just can't believe there are doctors out there who don't care as much as she does. Thank you Dr Martini and CCRM, from the bottom of my heart.

After dealing with infertility for over 7 years, I truly never thought I would be able to conceive. Dr. Fady Sharara changed my life for the better--he gave me hope when I felt like there was none, and I will forever be grateful for that. His expertise, compassion, and dedication made all the difference for me. I'm so thankful for the protocol he created that worked for my situation, and I genuinely hope he can continue to help others who are just like me find their own success and happiness. A huge thank you to his wonderful nurses, Jill and Jessica, who were always there with kindness, patience, and reassurance whenever I needed it most. They made such a difference in my experience. I also want to recognize Maggie and Trisha at the front desk. No matter what kind of day I was having, they always greeted me with warmth and a smile, making me feel welcome and cared for. This journey isn't always easy, but having a team like this behind you makes all the difference. I'm beyond grateful for everyone at VCRM for their support and dedication, and I'm so excited for this new chapter ahead.

Dr. Owen was truly amazing in every way. She took the time to genuinely listen and understand what we needed. She has such a caring heart and always made me feel like I was her most important patient. She carefully analyzed every result and personally called with detailed explanations, which meant so much during such an emotional process. I always felt like I was in the very best hands. Under her care, we had two successful egg retrievals, and on our first transfer, we got pregnant. We are beyond grateful -- there really aren't enough words to express how thankful we are. That said, the billing department needs significant improvement. Communication was very difficult -- phone calls often went unanswered with no callbacks, and responses were typically limited to once per day. Payments were missed on their end, so I strongly recommend tracking everything carefully. Bills were also not sent promptly. Overall, while the administrative side was frustrating, Dr. Owen made all the difference in our journey, and for that we will always be thankful.

My husband and I tried to conceive for six years before initially seeking treatment at another provider in the area. After a year of being treated like a number in a baby factory at the big box fertility clinic, we decided to take a break. We were defeated, discouraged, and unsure whether we would continue in our attempts to have a child. The next year a good family friend who is also an out of state OBGYN suggested Dr Moragianni. We were able to schedule with her fairly quickly and our consultation left us feeling a renewed sense of hope! She actually listened to everything we had to say and explained things to us that we didn't know even after a year of treatment elsewhere. After our first round of bloodwork to get starred, Dr Moragianni identified an irregularity with my thyroid that had been grossly overlooked at the other clinic. She continued to monitor and work with us as I sorted out the thyroid issue with an endocrinologist. During this time we found that my ovaries were often not visible making it nearly impossible to determine egg count and quality. Based on the examination experience, I believe this was also the case at the previous clinic, only they blindly treated me without explaining the situation and therefore the treatment was continuously unsuccessful. Dr Moragianni on the other hand very clearly explained everything, presented us with options, and offered her best advice. She did not encourage us in any way to proceed with a path that was likely to be a dead end. One thing she offered and I was unaware of was egg donation. Ultimately, this made the most sense for our situation, and now we have a beautiful baby boy that I carried to full term. Thanks to Dr Moragianni, my underlying health issue was resolved (I had parathyroid surgery), my time and money were not wasted, and I was treated like the top priority patient at every visit! THANK YOU for helping us complete our family!!

I remember telling Dr. Okasi to please use the small speculum before the exam. She nodded yes but said nothing verbally. As soon as the speculum was opened, I let out such a scream! I'm sure people in the waiting room and other parts of the office heard me, especially since this office has walls that don't connect to the ceiling (open concept). At no time did she comfort me, nothing like "breathe. Take a deep breath" or "are you ok? It's almost over". Nothing at all! I truly suspect she used the large speculum. Maybe she didn't like being told what to use. All I know is I've never yelled liked that in any of my previous examinations with other MDs. I was so embarrassed to the point that I apologized after the exam. And I shouldn't have, thinking back. Why did I apologize for pain inflicted upon me? That's why I wanted the smaller speculum! After getting in my car, I said to myself I'm never coming back here. Dr. Okasi's bedside manner was so so poor, to say the least. And the staff is not memorable. Believe what your patients tell you. We know our bodies more than you do. And if something doesn't make sense, then ask us questions for clarification.
