Review of
I went to Dr. Libby for a second opinion/consultation. Unfortunately my prior egg retrievals/embryo freezing did not lead to a normal embryo so I wanted to try a different approach with a new doctor...[she gave me] a thorough explanation of my hormone levels, my treatment plan was being throughly reviewed, and I felt more prepared mentally as to what to expect for my treatment cycle..
The costs for 2 cycle of embryo banking is around $21k and does not include and embryo PGT testing..all the staff at Shady Grove. They are very prompt on the communication, all communicate effectively together, and available through our portal system and by phone quickly...The strengths include prompt follow-up, keeping updated on the treatment plan, phone calls to explain next steps, and access to lab work
How was your experience with Valerie Libby at Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta?
I met Dr. Libby for the first time over zoom about 3 months ago and she was very thorough, realistic and helped me set expectations as to what approach to take given that I did not have any successful normal embryos retrieved at an another reproductive clinic.

To be open minded and ask questions about anything you do not understand about your protocol
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Valerie Libby at Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta?
I went to Dr. Libby for a second opinion/consultation. Unfortunately my prior egg retrievals/embryo freezing did not lead to a normal embryo so I wanted to try a different approach with a new doctor.

Review of
[Dr, Libby] was very patient when my computer kept preventing us from hearing and seeing each other in the consultation. Dr. Libby was personable to see where I was at mentally with the process l, since I had a terrible experience at my last Fertility office... didn’t try to force IVF on me. She actually suggested fertility medications first, and monitoring...She told me things about my egg count and follicles that the last clinic never explained
I haven’t physically been to the clinic [of Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta] yet but I do like the communication through the patient portal and email. I like that it seems like the clinic all works together as a team, and are on the same page...Dr. Libby didn’t try to force IVF on me.

How was your experience with Valerie Libby at Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta?
She is pretty fresh out of bed school, and seems eager to work with patients. I laughed after the call with her when she told me, “ you have allot of eggs.” Fertility treatments can feel gloomy but she made it funny. I haven’t meant with her in person yet, but I’m going to take the trip to Atlanta because she helped me put things in a different perspective. She didn’t try to force me to be her patient, she invited me to be her patient. That’s the difference.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Valerie Libby at Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta?
Ask her questions about your medical history and reports l. She told me things about my egg count and follicles that the last clinic never explained this. I could have had fertility medications a long time ago.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Valerie Libby at Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta?
She was very patient when my computer kept preventing us from hearing and seeing each other in the consultation. Dr. Libby was personable to see where I was at mentally with the process l, since I had a terrible experience at my last Fertility office. I didn’t feel she was in a rush, or that she felt bothered by me seeking out her services. I feel she was trying to utilize the consultation as an opportunity to earn my business, and Dr. Libby didn’t try to force IVF on me. She actually suggested fertility medications first, and monitoring.
Describe your experience with Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta.
I haven’t physically been to the clinic yet but I do like the communication through the patient portal and email. I like that it seems like the clinic all works together as a team, and are on the same page. Nothing is worst when everyone in the office doesn’t seem to know what they’re doing.

Review of
Dr. Libby was just amazing. We had a long journey and she was right there with us in the trenches. She was our third fertility doctor. She thought outside the box, was willing to try new things, was open to our questions, and used her team to help us. She is kind, and truly listens to you and our partners needs and concerns...She knew me, she knew my husband, she knew what we had been through....
They [Shady Grove Fertility Atlanta] have a big team which is great because you have someone always looking at your case, someone is always on call, there is someone always around, but it also mean you need to also be on top of your case. And sometimes communication can be hard...[nurse] Karen, I would not have survived this without her...She [Dr. Libby] thought outside the box, was willing to try new things, was open to our questions, and used her team to help us.
