**BEWARE OF BILLING FRAUD**…read more Not surprised to see how low this place is rated (and I wish I consulted yelp!!!). As you can tell if you look at my profile, I rate most experiences and businesses highly, and I find myself to be a very level-headed and fair person. I was considering CFA for fertility testing for both my husband and I. We had a 1-time consult with one of their doctors, which took ~15 minutes over zoom. Received a bill for CPT code 99205, which was over $400, and represents a 60-75 minute face to face visit (you can research the code yourself). I reached out to the company to say my appointment was extremely brief, and I don't believe this CPT code is accurate/represents the length of time with the doctor. I received extremely rude responses, justifying the use of the code (inaccurately, saying it includes documentation time - which it doesn't, and even if it does, show me what a 45-minute long note looks like...yeah right). Extremely disappointing and horrible to charge me for a service I didn't receive. I even mentioned that I'd be happy to pay for an accurate CPT code, even a 30-minute one, and they are not budging. Unfortunately, they have evidence of the length of the appointment since it was on the provider's zoom account, though I wish so badly I could pull that evidence (and we can all assume they won't show it). Bewareeeeeee

STAY AWAY. I've had the most horrible experience. Staff is unorganized, unfriendly and overall…read moreincompetent. I can't imagine they will be in business for long. I enjoyed my initial consult with Dr. Sacks but after my payment went through its been nothing but inconsistent and contradicting communication. I called and emailed many times to get direction on what medication to take and when, the response from Imani (the office manager) was rude and inconsistent with what the Dr. had said in-person. I was promised a refund, yet I am still following up and fighting for it. The CFA staff has no integrity or respect for their patients, please BE AWARE!

I want to take a moment to recognize the care I received at Shady Grove Fertility, especially from…read moreDr. Katie Devine, Carrie, Emma , Jen and Hanaa Gordie. From the beginning of my journey, I felt like I was more than just a patient. Dr. Devine has been incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate throughout every step. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made a very overwhelming process feel much more manageable.Carrie and Emma was consistently supportive and responsive, always making sure my questions were answered and that I felt informed and cared for. Her kindness and attention to detail made a real difference during a stressful time. Hanaa Gordie financial advisor also provided excellent care and reassurance. She was professional, kind, and made each interaction feel calm and encouraging, which meant a lot during such an emotional journey.Fertility treatment can be overwhelming, but having a team that shows genuine care, respect, and dedication makes all the difference. I am grateful for the support I received from this team and the role they played in my experience at Shady Grove.

I trusted Shady Grove Fertility with what was likely my last chance to have a biological child, and…read moreI deeply regret that decision. Before my first retrieval, I specifically asked my doctor (Dr. G) whether I should have a double trigger because I had learned it can benefit women over 40. I was told it would never help me and wasn't necessary. I also asked if I should come in before retrieval to verify my trigger had worked, and I was told there was no need. After my retrieval, I learned my hCG was essentially nonexistent. When I later obtained my medical records, I found notes from both the doctor and nurse stating that my trigger was not sufficient, that I should have been brought in for bloodwork before retrieval, and that I should have received a double trigger. Those recommendations were the exact opposite of what I had been told when I asked beforehand. My retrieval was also delayed after I arrived on time, my follicles had been allowed to grow quite large, and the cycle resulted in empty follicles. During my second retrieval, I finally had one fertilized egg. Then, the day before my scheduled transfer, I was suddenly told I had a fibroid impinging on my uterus and that I should consider freezing the embryo--the one thing we had repeatedly said we did not want. My biggest disappointment is that I never felt this clinic was willing to do everything possible to help me have a baby. If you're looking for a clinic that individualizes treatment and aggressively pursues every reasonable option, that was not my experience. If this is your only or last chance, I would encourage you to carefully consider where you invest your hope, time, and money.

I had tendonitis in my elbow for about 15 months before my wife got tired of my whining about it…read moreand insisted that i visit Lisa. I'll admit it that i was just a tad bit skeptical about acupuncture in general and i had a lot of fun teasing my wife about it over the years, but i went to humor her. Imagine my surprise when the next day my elbow felt better than it had in years!!!! After a couple of more sessions it was 95% better. The worst part was that i had to eat some major crow and admit that my wife was right: Lisa is amazing. But the best part was what happened at the end of one of my sessions. Lisa casually asked me if there were any other lingering things that were bothering me. I told her that i had this annoying clogged duct in my eyelid that my ophthalmologist had determined was chronic and offered no solutions. Lisa thought for a moment and suggested that i try some dandelion tea. IT WORKED. Within just a few days it was nearly back to normal. unreal.

Lisa is wonderful: thoughtful, caring, and skilled. I came to Lisa after having tried several…read moreother local practices for significant periods of time with no results. Here are a few things I found that make Lisa different: - Lisa quietly comes in half way through to wiggle around the points to make sure they're working right. It's very reassuring. - Lisa has never once been late for an appointment, nor have I ever had to wait or felt like I was just one of a slew of clients to her. - She does not try pressure you to buy herbal supplements from her, although she always has excellent suggestions for what you might want to look into and where you might get it for a good price. She's been so supportive through a natural conception I'd given up thinking was possible and throughout my pregnancy so far, and I'm very grateful for her!

I can't express enough gratitude for Dr. Rifka and his insight. I became a mom for the first time…read moreat 40, and it wouldn't have been possible without his expert care. He diagnosed the issue promptly and prescribed medications that addressed it quickly. Throughout the journey, he was incredibly caring, always responsive to my questions, and explained everything with such clarity. Thank you, Dr. Rifka. My small family is forever grateful for the joy we have today, a beautiful, healthy son.

I've been going to Dr Rifka for 14 years and it's amazing how fast the quality of care has fallen…read more I am no longer a patient there after a highly uncomfortable routine exam with the doctor and his nurse of 25 years, neither of whom acknowledged my follow up calls to discuss what went on. If this had been anyone else, I would have simply bolted right out the door, but given our long relationship, and despite how violated i felt, I wanted to give him a chance to explain his behavior. No dice, which only serves to make me think he knows he did wrong. The icing on the crappy cake however was that I couldn't get my test results back after 6 weeks of calls once or twice a week. it was only when I decided to show up at their office unannounced that they handed me not only my test results, but my ABNORMAL test results. No apologies, no acknowledgment or explanation. I doubt I'll ever hear from him again. It's been careless, violating, and retraumatizing as a survivor of domestic violence and multiple sexual assaults. Do better, there are women counting on you.

Like others, my experience at SGF was troubling (to say the least). At no point in the diagnosis or…read moretreatment process at SGF did I feel like anything other than a dollar sign and I wish I had left sooner. I did eventually leave SGF to work with a newer, smaller fertility clinic in the area. The doctors there listened to my concerns and offered me a customized treatment plan. I got pregnant with minimal intervention (essentially just medication), and welcomed my twin girls in December. But, back to SGF. I struggled with unexplained infertility and not once did I feel as though the doctors there were actually interested in figuring out why I struggling to conceive so they could treat the problem, but, rather, they were interested in making money -- pushing me to immediately pursue IVF instead of starting with less invasive, costly options. I tried, several times, to ask questions and share concerns with my doctor, but they fell on deaf ears. The doctors here are not actually interested in diagnosing and treating medical issues, they are interested in making money. At one point, I even felt as though the doctor was explicitly chastising me for not opting into the most expensive treatments. With lots of options in the DMV, I'd look for a clinic that makes you feel comfortable and heard and, for me, that was not SGF. (Side note: as others have mentioned, their billing team is AWFUL. I would have been willing to look past it if the physicians had been worthwhile, but it was just another reason to leave.)

I should have done more research and spoken to more people who looked like me, who had been through…read morewhat my husband and I have. The past 10 months have disappointing overall. Just go somewhere else. I'd rather drive farther, heck, I'm happy to pay more as long as the goal post doesn't keep moving. Having to be financially clear to start my IUI and get a bill for the labs 4 months later is beyond me. But I'm done.
