Patient Testimonial
Dr. Shah helped complete our family and answer our prayers. After his medical attention and direction, we now have a beautiful and healthy little boy.

Dr. Romanski filled us with so much hope when we needed it the most. Him and his team are absolutely amazing and hands on. I have never felt more cared for at a practice before. Highly recommend him for any fertility needs.

Dr. Barnard was wonderful to work with! I appreciated her care, patience, support, and calming demeanor. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and compassionate. While this process can be very intimidating and overwhelming, I felt better knowing that I had her on my side.

I began my own egg-freezing journey as an OB/GYN resident. Looking back 10 years later, now 38 years old, engaged, and ready to start my own family, I’m relieved to have frozen my eggs. At the same time, I feel obligated to give back and address the toll that surgical training has on women.

SGF in Alpharetta is fantastic. The office is beautiful and brand new. The office and clinical staff are friendly, they make you feel comfortable and they are very accommodating. I have never had to wait long for my appointment.

I have only wonderful things to say about Dr. Gay and his staff at the Alpharetta location. Knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional… I could not have asked for better care.

Q&A

I’ve always wanted to work in OB/GYN even before becoming a PA. I started my career working at a private OB/GYN practice and managed patients that were either struggling to conceive or had undergone fertility treatment in the past. I found reproductive endocrinology to be incredibly fascinating, and I was fortunate enough to be able to join Shady Grove Fertility and learn from the best. Being able to help patients through such a difficult and vulnerable journey is immensely rewarding.

I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy reading, cooking, traveling.

I was a Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange student with the American Field Service. I lived in Schönberg, Germany with my host family for one year and graduated from Realschule before returning to the states for college.
