Shady Grove fertility center Rockville gives me the MAJOR ick…read more BEDSIDE MANNER- a potato has more personality. Their doctor had no bedside manner whatsoever. She was very focused on money despite the fact that I explained I would be self pay if we moved forward with them. The first thing out of her mouth was focused solely on money. She kept repeating oh this would be on OUR timeline once you're financially cleared... since insurance isn't involved or financing - I don't need clearance dear. You're a doctor you should know that. Also THEIR timeline is crazy. You're a medical service provider operating in fertility treatment. It should very much be on the PATIENTS timeline. Not even med spas behave like this. She was also extremely condescending to my husband. -100/10. We met with her once and then moved to a physician at the frederick office. Additionally their nurses do not put their clinical instructions in the patient portal -.- it's ridiculous what kind of medical office doesn't provide the instructions written in a patients portal so they can refer back to them!? It's concerning and unsafe to be quite honest. The pharmacy called them several times to identify an alternative medication for an out of stock medicine they had.... No response from the physician. I had to call to get a response. TESTING- working in a lab testing does not need to wait all day for the nurse to call you. Most analytical blood tests take 90 minutes. Run my test and put my results in my portal IMMEDIATELY. It's ridiculous to make people wait all day. STAFF PROFESSIONALISM- I had a weekend appointment and people were wearing pajamas and house slippers. I'm all for being comfortable at work, but pajamas and slippers is wild it's a medical office. Also when you call this office often the front desk staff sound annoyed that you're calling them on the weekend. You're literally the on call office for the weekend -.- When my husband arrived to the office and asked for directions to the consultation room the staff sent him across the hall where no one was at the desk. He waited for a while then returned to the staff to inform them and they rolled their eyes and were annoyed with him for returning... YOUR STAFF is not where they are supposed to be and no one is answering the call button?! And you're mad at the patient who is on time for their appointment?! FINANCING- all this office cares about is money. I am self paying so I cannot imagine what it's like if you actually have to go through any financial process involving them. What a nightmare. I asked "what would be next steps in an IUI process" no response to the question only you need to pay... I'm asking a consultation question. The bill they sent was a whopping 12 hours old... The nurse could easily have responded professionally with "in addition to these steps please ensure you pay this bill through your link..." Again not even med spas behave like this. The frederick office is much better. Way more professional and the staff are nicer but the Rockville office is absolutely terrible. You're not a patient there, you're seen as a source of revenue simply. They're not there to serve patients or educate them... for goodness sakes they can't even be bothered to get up in the morning and put pants on -.- go ANYWHERE ELSE

We have had challenges along the way, in our case some that are very rare and unexpected, and I am always met with a compasssionate phone call from Dr. D and support from his caring team. I hear of experiences / methods from other fertility practices (in the area and in other locations) and often my response is, Dr. D would never do that! Because I know his focus is on low risk, high results. His goal is a healthy baby. He's the best.

And I was right, as soon as I met Dr. DiMattina, I knew he was my doctor! He is very experienced, professional, kind, straight forward, he doesn't waste your time, tells you exactly what he can do for you and what he can not and you know what.. if you follow his advice he makes it happen! A year later, I am pregnant now with our miracle baby boy and we couldn't be more grateful! His staff both in the Arlington but especially in the Bethesda office where I went for my monitoring visits is amazing! They are all very kind, caring and professional. I always felt well taken care of and in good hands, especially Jana, my monitoring nurse in the Bethesda office is a true angel! She was always very encouraging and kind, made my visits there very pleasant, positive and fun! And you need this kind of energy and trust when you walk this journey! I would 100% recommend Dominion Fertility to anyone walking this road, go straight to them, don't waste your time and money with other clinics, they are the state of the art fertility clinic in the capital area!

I called ahead and was told there was a 15-minute grace period. I walked in at 11:16 AM, and Dr. Parikh flat-out refused to see me, providing zero explanation or flexibility for being one minute late. As a first-time expectant mom, these appointments mean the world to me. To be turned away after an hour of stressful driving was heartbreaking, but the attitude of the staff made it worse. The receptionists were completely unsympathetic and acted like I was a bother. A little kindness or a simple smile would have gone a long way, especially since turning me away means waiting another three weeks for an appointment. I ultimately decided not to reschedule. This experience completely ruined my trust in this practice, and I will not be returning.

Mairi and Emily come with such a wealth and depth of knowledge with years of experience that you can't help but feel safe and watched over under their care. They are well organized with a plan for every possible situation and the community groups that they place you in with other mom's delivering around the same time as you are invaluable to the process. This was my first child, and I will absolutely use their midwifery services again for any children that may come in the future. I highly recommend them for home births and any woman's care.
