Anate Brauer

Dr Brauer is extremely caring, thorough, and patient. I trusted her medical advice and appreciated the personal connection and empathy that came with it throughout my journey. Dr Brauer always made sure my questions were answered and that we had spent time discussing options and next steps.

Not knowing what to expect when we set out on our fertility journey and being nervous and naive about what lie in store for us, Dr. Brauer took our hands and walked with us as we took our first steps towards parenthood. IVF can be an emotional journey full of ups and downs. Ours certainly was. But Dr. B served as a constant in our process, someone who fueled our hopes and helped us set realistic expectations. Part doctor, part counselor, part realist, and part fun aunt, Dr. Brauer was always what we needed her to be. Ultimately we couldn't have asked for a better reproductive endocrinologist. Now 16 weeks expecting, we're excited to meet our baby girl this summer. One day, we hope she'll get to meet Dr. B to celebrate the wonders of science and get to know the passionate professional who helped bring her into this world.

We switched to Shady Grove/Dr Brauer after a few unsuccessful attempts and we got a positive result after the first try! She is enthusiastic, smart, and caring. Her whole team was a pleasure to work with and I thought the office was also very modern, clean, warm and welcoming. Never waited long and they had effective communication either over the phone or through their portal. A great experience all around!

There was never more than 5 other women waiting for appts and the women who did my blood work were all very helpful and comforting and nice.
