[quote=Anonymous]Personally, my husband and I are both grateful to the entire Shady Grove team at the DC & Rockville offices, from our doctor (Dr. Eric Widra) who is phenomenal to the nurses and lab techs and finance team.  They are committed, professional, well-trained, and experienced.

This is our story.  We went through one cycle of IVF, had our child, and then I got pregnant naturally 7 months later.  This was an unbelievable first for me after trying for so many years naturally.  What I remember about our first consult w/Dr. Widra is he was very knowledgeable about our history (my issues b/c husband had none) and told us in a matter-of-fact way that b/c of age (42 at the time), my chance of getting pregnant using my own eggs would be about 25 - 30%.  He never encouraged us to use donor eggs which we didn't.  He just gave us the stats for our age group.  Well, I appreciated his honesty.  Something I remember was that when he was doing the embryo transfer, he talked to us the entire time, made us feel comfortable, and then told us to keep in mind that medicine is not the "giver of life".  After he finished and it was time to go, I asked Dr. Widra what he meant, and he asked my husband and me if we believe in prayer.  I was touched by that.  I realized at that moment that as confident as he was, he was still humble.

Yes, my husband and I are Christians, and we prayed for our family to be blessed with a child.  I don't know if Dr. Widra will ever know how phenomenal he is.  Our insurance paid a part, and we paid the rest, and both of us feel Shady Grove deserved every dime.

Give SG, and especially Dr. Widra, a try.  Good luck![/quote]
