How was your experience with Christina Mitchell at Shady Grove Fertility Carolinas?
Recommending dr. Mitchell 10 out of 10 is a massive understatement! I followed her to the new shady grove clinic and count not dream of doing it any other way. I have needed a few attempts to get pregnant with my second child. Her intelligence, confidence, determination, kindness and is the reason I made it here to 8 weeks. First off, she is so sharp, and I mean crazy smart. She obviously knows the ins and outs every step the process. She is clear about my options, willing to lead with confidence and still respecting my desires and opinions. Her confidence and motivation is contagious and kept me going while I was experiencing the natural highs and lows of the process. At no point in time did I feel hopeless and was always comforted by next steps and kind words. But Dr. Mitchell truly is extra. I felt like her only patient. I know this was not the case, but it felt like it! She was always the once to review labs asap, deliver important information, be the one to perform my procedures. It was the ultimate care. Obviously smart and talented but I cant speak enough to her kindness. She delivers incredibly hard news clearly, honestly but with true compassion. It was easy to trust her and I’m eternally grateful. It is my firm belief that she 100000X capable of leading someone to pregnancy success but the bonus is getting if the biggest supporter who is just an amazingly wonderful human as your doctor.
