We completed the surrogacy journey for both of our children through their team, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. As a same sex couple, we never once felt out of place or treated differently. We, along with our surrogate, were treated with genuine respect, dignity, compassion, and professionalism throughout the entire process. The team was incredibly organized, communicative, and diligent every step of the way, making what can be an overwhelming journey feel as smooth and supported as possible. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to patient care gave us confidence throughout both journeys. Thanks to them, our family is complete, and we will always be grateful for the care they provided. We’ve already referred friends to Virginia Center for Reproductive Medicine and will continue to do so without hesitation. If you’re looking for a fertility clinic that combines outstanding medical care with truly inclusive, compassionate treatment, this is the place.Fertility clinic

After 3 years of trying to conceive, with multiple cycles, procedures, and surgeries, I am now in my third trimester with our little girl. The staff and the nurses, as well as Dr. Sharara, will always be a part of our family. They were so kind and strong for us through the process. I could wish no greater level of care for anyone.My husband and I were referred to Dr. Sharara by a friend after trying to conceive on our own for over a year, and we are so grateful we made that call. The office staff is…My husband and I were referred to Dr. Sharara by a friend after trying to conceive on our own for over a year, and we are so grateful we made that call. The office staff is consistently friendly and kind, and scheduling appointments is always easy. Dr. Sharara’s to-the-point approach is both reassuring and encouraging—he took the time to outline a clear diagnostic plan and explain each step along the way. We truly believe his guidance played a key role in helping us conceive our first child naturally. We are very thankful for the care we received and highly recommend this practice.My husband and I have been on our journey with VCRM for a year. We are now 8 weeks along and are so happy!

We can't speak highly enough about Dr. Sharara and his team. Can't wait to do it all over again after our baby is born.Dr. Sharara and his staff made what could have been a very unpleasant process one of the most comfortable medical experiences I've had as a patient.

I came to VCRM with severe endometriosis and trying to get pregnant, a combination that doesn't often go well together. I had a consultation with a different, quite popular fertility clinic before I saw Dr. Sharara, and they left out at least two of the diagnostic tests that Dr. Sharara ran which gave us immense insight into why I wasn't getting pregnant on my own. Dr. Sharara was incredibly knowledgable and tailored my treatment to exactly what I needed based on my personal medical history, age, and test results. He performed every test, ultrasound, and procedure himself, and I saw the same two nurses for every appointment. I would call fairly often with questions or concerns as I went through the process, and I always got responses the same day that were helpful, and was never made to feel foolish for asking. His staff was nothing short of amazing, providing gentle and respectful care and positive encouragement. I 'graduated' from IVF last week and am currently in my first trimester of pregnancy, feeling immensely grateful to only having to go through one round of IVF. I firmly believe that can be credited to Dr. Sharara's extensive knowledge and tailored care plan. I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Sharara and VCRM to anyone looking for exceptional care in their fertility journey.I’m a first time surrogate and I got pregnant on the very first try!

I'm beyond grateful for the incredible team at VCRM. Their expertise, compassion, and support made this journey truly unforgettable. Gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy. Looking forward to working with Dr. Sharara and his team in the future to make more family dreams come true.Dr. Sharara and his team are incredible!

Thanks to their expertise, we now have our two greatest blessings. Before finding VCRM, we worked with three other clinics, and the difference was remarkable. Every step of the process was an amazing experience—even when the initial consultations involved tough but realistic conversations. I truly appreciated how Dr. Sharara set manageable expectations while remaining optimistic and empathetic. We followed all of his recommendations, which resulted in two successful pregnancies and two healthy babies! We are forever grateful to this wonderful doctor and his team.I went to this clinic based on recommendations from a few people, but unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing.

I paid $350 for a consultation, expecting a thoughtful discussion and answers to my questions. Instead, when I met with Dr. Sharara, he simply handed me a printout and refused to answer any of my questions—every time I asked, he only pointed back to the paper. The entire consultation, which should have been about an hour, lasted maybe 10 minutes. I left feeling dismissed, disrespected, and like the only priority was money, not patient care. The stress and sadness from that interaction were overwhelming, and immediately afterward during the sonogram, I actually passed out. When I tried to explain what I was feeling to the nurses, they told me there was “nothing they could do about it” and even made comments about not throwing up in the room instead of offering real support. I felt completely neglected and uncared for at such a vulnerable moment. I don’t usually write reviews like this, but I believe it’s important to share so others know what they might encounter. Please think carefully about your options before choosing this clinic—I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through what I experienced.VCRM was a blessing for us. The whole team is incredible. They became family for us. Dr. Sharara is the best doctor of fertility and just so wonderful. I’m so glad we found him.…VCRM was a blessing for us. The whole team is incredible. They became family for us. Dr. Sharara is the best doctor of fertility and just so wonderful. I’m so glad we found him. He never gave up on us. Our situation was very tough. We had been through 3 previous IVF cycles at another fertility clinic, and tried one other cycle that didn’t work out, and even after all that, he kept working with us until we finally were able to conceive. Our son was born earlier this month and we couldn’t be happier. Words can’t express how grateful we are to VCRM for making our dream of becoming parents a reality.We had an incredible experience at VCRM working with Dr. Sharara.

After close to a year of TTC, my husband and I decided to see a fertility doctor to do all the basic tests. Dr. Sharara immediately gave us diet and lifestyle recommendations that we implemented right away while we waited on all our test results. We love that Dr. Sharara did not push us into IUI or IVF right away, and gave us a few months to test out supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes - and it worked!! I'm now entering my third trimester and am grateful every day for the help VCRM gave to our family. I have to add - we never had a long wait in reception, and every nurse or assistant we met was so lovely. Highly recommend this practice!!This is a long overdue note about our experience with Dr. Sharara and his amazing team at VCRM. After several years of not conceiving, we had our first consult with Dr. Sharara at…This is a long overdue note about our experience with Dr. Sharara and his amazing team at VCRM. After several years of not conceiving, we had our first consult with Dr. Sharara at the recommendation of a close and trusted family member. I’d very soon after discover that many friends and acquaintances were also his patients - and everyone was happy. After almost a year of being in his care, which included the diagnostic tests and discovering that I had been living with Stage IV endometriosis, 2 egg retrievals, fertilization, and eventually our transfer, I am beyond excited to share that we are 20 weeks pregnant. I appreciated his approach to diet, lifestyle, and treatment. We followed his guidance exactly - the supplements, the diet, the timeline. I even backed off from running (I am a marathoner / endurance runner). He was very direct in his recommendation, sharing statistics and science (much appreciated by my husband who is a numbers person!). He is extremely direct and will not beat around the bush (so grateful for that!). After our first retrieval which yielded many eggs but not as many viable embryos, we knew we wanted to try another retrieval. With a few tweaks, and continuation of his diet and lifestyle recommendations, we had an incredible response and all felt confident moving forward with a transfer. Aside from Dr. Sharara’s expertise and knowledge, it is the white glove service that his office provides. The nurses are incredible. During what can be such a scary time, filled with the unknown, and so much newness, the nurses (and particularly Jo) put me at ease, reducing any anxiety or stress. Friends of mine shared their fertility journey experiences they had with other clinics, lamenting that they felt they were a bit more of a “factory” - not so much personal interaction, limited engagement with their doctor, and little to no guidance on injections and medication. VCRM’s approach could not be more different. I realize everyone’s journey is their own, and process / style preferences may differ, I am forever grateful for the care and attention we received from VCRM. It is easy to write a positive review when the outcome is favorable. But I stand strong in my assertion that this review would be exactly the same had we not had such a favorable outcome because it is based on the standard of care - which truly should be an industry standard. 2 years ago, I drew my boundary line at IVF. I said I’d be open to IUI, medicated cycles, but not IVF. That was because I was not educated. Sadly, this is because we don’t talk about this enough and women are made to feel like it’s taboo. Dr. Sharara shared - honestly - that IUI would likely be unsuccessful and just delay what was already a narrowing timeline (due to my egg quality). The more I learned from him, the more I was encouraged to talk about our journey, and the more I connected with other women who had experienced IVF. And, eventually, my boundary line disappeared. IVF became less scary. My hope for anyone considering treatment and reading this is to just have the initial conversation, learn about your body and get the full picture before you draw your lines. You will be in the best of hands at VCRM. Thank you to Dr. Sharara and the entire VCRM team. You deserve every accolade. We miss seeing you all regularly, and God-willing we will be able to visit in a few months with our baby.Cannot say enough great things about these folks.

These folks became our family over the time that we spent with them. This an extremely well ran office and helped us have our first baby through their IVF treatment. We will continue to work with them. So, look no further if you are in need of fertility help, it’s VCRM!So far I have been very impressed, of course I will come back later and update this here need be as my journey progresses.

However I contacted Dr. Sharara’s office because shady grove was not able to accept outside embryos for embryo transfer. I have been seeking an open embryo donation/adoption. Not many are available through clinics. Dr. Sharara took me in for the initial consult, went over my history and right away started the tests needed prior to transfer. With other clinics there was always a ton of waiting for appointments only to learn they couldn’t help. Here the process is very stream lined. Dr. Sharara is always on time and efficient in his procedures and appointment. He can be very straight to the point and isn’t overly hand holdy if you need that… but I don’t mind. When the initial donor family backed out he did offer that one set of embryos through there clinic available for an open donation. Something I’ve not had any other clinic offer. We wanted a larger group of embryos as we hope to have multiple siblings from the same group so we had to pass but I really appreciate that he offered that and took the time to look into the file details etc. We are back to looking for another embryo match. That said Dr. Sharara has never pushed us to use the closed donor embryos they have at their clinic or made me feel like our request for an open donation was a burden like some of the other clinics have. So far I definitely recommend.Dr. Fady and the team at VCRM were absolutely wonderful with every step of the process in getting us to pregnancy.

They were courteous, helpful, understanding of any questions we had and we will also be grateful to the entire team for helping us grow our family. We never felt like we were in the dark about the care we needed and next steps, because it can be complicated to take on. Thank you the entire team and best wishes to them all.Dr. Sharara was knowledgeable and kind.

The front desk ladies remembered my name when I came in and always had the answers to my insurance questions. I was always in and out of there without waiting which I can’t say for any other doctors office I’ve been to. We saw Dr. Sharara for about 6 months before finally conceiving. He ran tests quickly, discovered polyps on my uterus and removed them with a painless surgery. He has an honest and friendly approach. We loved working with him.Dr. Sharara takes a little getting used to, he’s definitely a little high strung but he knows what he’s doing and is extremely knowledgeable.

Trust him and you’ll get the results you want. He is responsible for our soon to be born daughter, so for that he and VCRM get 5/5 stars.VCRM is the best medical team I have ever worked with!

Long story short, my husband and I have always wanted to parents. When things didn’t exactly go to plan, we sought out a couple top clinics in the area. After my initial consult with Dr. Sharara, I knew I’d be in the best hands at VCRM. Most people who go through fertility treatments/IVF will tell you that it’s physically easier than they thought it’d be, but emotionally harder. I wanted to work with a team that treated us like family and not a number, and where I felt fully supported. VCRM was that team. Dr. Sharara has wonderful bedside manner. I appreciated how honest, knowledgeable, and meticulous he is, and we always felt that he was doing absolutely everything in his power to make us successful. His staff are incredible as well. I loved the nurses (thank you Jo, Jessica, and Jill!), all of whom helped us every step of the way — including answering texts after hours, teaching us how to do injections, etc. Trisha and Cameron were also wonderful. They helped us navigate the financial/insurance piece with grace and were so punctual with appointments (there are a ton for IVF, so this meant a lot and signaled that the clinic really valued our time). VCRM’s small size allows you to work with the same doctor and nurses for every appointment, test, procedure, and ultrasound. We really appreciated this consistency from start to finish. I’m happy to report that our dreams have come true and I am pregnant (first transfer!), all thanks to Dr. Sharara! I was in tears at my last ultrasound - it’s strange because you start fertility treatments hoping to finish as soon as possible, but we loved VCRM so much that I was incredibly sad to leave. We could not be more grateful!I think the review is long over due.

After struggling with infertility for 4–5 years and seeing multiple doctors both in the U.S. and India, we finally found hope and success with Dr. Sharara. From the very beginning, he was hands-on and personally conducted every check-up and procedure himself — something that truly sets him apart from other clinics, where you're often passed around between different doctors. Dr. Sharara is incredibly knowledgeable and straightforward. He clearly explained our diagnosis, our options, and the realistic chances of success at every step. His honesty, expertise, and compassion gave us the confidence and clarity we had been searching for. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Sharara and his dedicated team for guiding us through this journey. Words can't fully express our gratitude for what he has done for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.My husband and I are beyond grateful for Dr. Fady Sharara and his incredible staff.

I felt confident in Dr. Sharara immediately after our first consultation. He truly took the time to get to know us, our needs and personalized our treatment to set us up for success. I can’t say it enough that he genuinely cares about the success of each one of his patients. His expertise and care are unmatched. The nurses and front desk staff are true gems. The practice runs smoothly, and appointments run on time. The nurses are very responsive and return phone calls promptly. I cannot recommend Dr. Sharara and VCRM enough. Infertility is stressful and knowing that you are being treated by such a wonderful team of medical professionals makes the journey a little bit easier. Because of them I get to be a mom.I highly recommend Dr. Fady Sharara. My husband and I decided to consult with fertility doctor.

On our first appoinment Dr. Sharara and VCRM team welcomed us and were very caring. He recommended us to start diet and tests. I was able to lose 10 pounds and performed operation that needed to be done before IVF procedure. We ended up concieving naturally before starting IVF. Can't thank Dr. Sharara and his team enough as they truly care and tailor your care to your needs. Dao & DanDr. Sharara and his team are absolutely incredible.

I chose to go to him and make the trek from Richmond to Reston after extensive research on who would be “the best” and I’m so thankful I did. He and the staff are professional, thorough, and deeply kind. Not only do I have him to endlessly thank for the gift of my daughter, but thanks to his testing, it was discovered that I had a blood clotting disorder that can cause implantation failure as well as lead to second or third trimester miscarriages, so we were able to treat that and keep baby safe during the pregnancy (and me afterward!). I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Sharara and Virginia Center for Reproductive Medicine!The front desk ladies are absolutely wonderful! 10/10 for the sweet ladies at the front desk! …So grateful that I found VCRM and Dr. Sharara.

Their office has restored my faith in our healthcare system. Dr. Sharara himself performed all of my diagnostic tests, looked over every single one of my lab results, and performed all ultrasounds/monitoring/procedures. This office was nothing but straightforward, compassionate, and efficient. Trust this office with your fertility journey, you will not regret it.We had an incredible experience with Dr. Sharara and the entire VCRM team.

We were blown away from the moment we walked in the door. The staff is warm and friendly and always knows your name. From our first meeting, Dr. Sharara was determined to find us a solution to bring us our family. We had been at another clinic previously where two implantations failed and one ended in miscarriage. The entire experience had been very unpersonalized and cold. VCRM could not be any more different. Dr. Sharara is a problem solver and is devoted to his patients and finding a successful approach. Before undergoing anything, he first conducts thorough testing to determine what might be your fertility issue. His work is grounded in research and the latest studies. His approach may seem different if you've been anywhere else, but I cannot stress enough, TRUST him. Once he felt we were in a place where we were ready for Egg Retreival, I cannot praise enough how amazing him and his team were. They offered solutions I'd never been presented before when my lining was thin. Jessica in particular was incredibly thoughtful, making sure we understood how to do every injection, answering our questions no matter the hour. They also approach billing in such a thoughtful manner, because as you may know with IVF, it is not an easy topic. The day of my retreival the entire team made me feel taken care of and provided detailed guidance so I didn't get OHSS again. With our implantation, it was the same incredibly thoughtful treatment, and when we got a positive pregnancy test the entire team celebrated us like family. Everyone's outcomes are different based on your personal issues and experiences, but what I can gurantee you is that Dr. Sharara and the entire VCRM team will do everything they possibly can to help you acheive the goal of starting or growing your family. They are one of a kind amazing and we feel so blessed to have found them!This is my second time with using Dr Sharara, the first time and this time was a wonderful experience.

The whole clinic is warm and inviting. They really felt like my friends who I could talk to and share stuff with. Dr Sharara is always very detailed and very thorough with what he needs to do for you to make sure your individual plan is for you specifically. He makes sure to check everything possible to make sure he gives you the best treatment plan possible. His bedside manner is the best I’ve seen. I wish all doctors were as comforting and supportive as he is. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for us!I went to VCRM after dealing with SGF-Leesburg for a year (avoid at all costs).

He is an educator at heart, and truly takes the time to explain each situation, process, and possible solution to you. The first thing that he prescribed was that I change my diet to a healthier, more clean way of eating, which I love. It shows that he truly treats the whole person, and not just with drugs. He is incredibly intelligent and experienced, and really knows what he is talking about. Trust him and the process! My favorite thing about our experience was that we were never just a number like people often talk about being at bigger, high traffic clinics - I was terrified to admit I needed to be treated for infertility (especially at only 27 years old!), but the office staff, nurses, and Dr. S himself always made my husband and me feel like family. We were greeted with smiles and a hug, reassured, and there was always a plan for moving forward if something didn’t work the way we initially thought. We got to see our doctor at every single appointment. The nurses are absolutely amazing. Jo, Lilly, and Jessica are always there to comfort you and make you feel like you don’t have to go through the process alone. I couldn’t ask for a better team to have take care of us. We eventually moved past IUIs and completed a round of IVF which was successful, and we are now expecting our first child! All within a year of treatment. Dr. Sharara and his amazing team will always be family to us and have the most special place in our hearts. I cannot speak highly enough of them! We love you, VCRM!!!VCRM was the first place we went to during my IVF search and from the first meeting, my husband and I absolutely loved him.

He was very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable during this difficult time in our lives. We were admitted in May 2021 and was pregnant by September 2021. We are now expecting our first little one thanks to Dr. Sharara and his team. Nurse Joanne is our favorite she calls to check up on you and is so friendly. Only thing I will recommend as far as Financial is that costs varies according to your specific needs, so be prepared. My husband and I needed more money but we went through Future Family and they were helpful.Sharara will push you to do tests you don't need.

He also took the time to explain anything we didn't understand and answer all questions whenever we had them. Dr. Sharara handled all of our appointments himself and we saw him at every appointment. The staff at VCRM is beyond kind and knowledge. Everyone was so nice at every visit and provided a caring and comforting atmosphere for such an emotional journey. When I graduated from VCRM to my OB, I was sad because I wouldn't be seeing the staff anymore. They truly made this process and experience so much easier. I have highly recommended them to friends and would recommend them to anyone who needs an amazing RE/fertility clinic.Dr Sharara and the VCRM team was amazing!

We came across this office via two referrals. I knew after the first visit that I had made the right choice in having Dr Sharara help us through this journey. This was the third fertility clinic my husband and I had visited and the only one that I felt as though someone really cared about us and the emotional needs we had. As a result, I became pregnant and we just had a beautiful baby boy! I remember crying on the day I had my last appointment with the VCRM office and transitioned from their office to having to see my OB/GYN. I felt like I was leaving family. I can’t wait to introduce everyone in the office to our new bundle of joy. Please consider the VCRM team for your fertility needs.After “getting” our son on our first implantation attempt, we were sad and disappointed when the next implantation didn’t take. But we weren’t discouraged, and we trusted the…After “getting” our son on our first implantation attempt, we were sad and disappointed when the next implantation didn’t take. But we weren’t discouraged, and we trusted the practice at UPMC Magee. We wanted another child badly enough to look past the impersonal, transactional interactions with the giant provider. But when the tally ran to two failed implantations and a miscarriage, we were left without any blinders or bias and started looking elsewhere. Research and “interviews” with a number of practices led us to Dr. Sharara and the VCRM team. From the first call, we could tell that they’d be who we’d trust our fertilization journey with from then on. The confidence and clarity that Dr. Sharara presented put our minds at ease (as much as possible), and the administrative and nursing support staff were personal, attentive, and understanding. We drove almost 4 hours each way to work with the VCRM team, to much success. Dr. Sharara proposed some new tests and analyses that we’d never been introduced to, in addition to the one or two that UPMC said might be helpful. Though going through the process was frustrating at times, it was not for lack of compassion, consideration, and rigor on the VCRM team’s part. After all was said and done, we had a successful FTE transfer and are 10 weeks along now. We know we would not be at this point with our old provider, and we can’t thank (and recommend) Dr. Sharara, Jo, and the entire VCRM staff enough.Because of Dr. Sharara and VCRM, I am now 15 weeks pregnant and doing great!!

Initially, we were with another "big box" fertility treatment center in the NoVA area and decided to make a move after a couple of big oversights on their part, we felt like just another dollar sign. After sharing my experience with friends who had also struggled with infertility, we were referred to Dr. Sharara and the VCRM team. I could tell from the initial phone call that we were on a better path. Mary, the receptionist was warm and got us in right away. At our initial consult, Dr. Sharara had taken a thorough look at what screens/testing we had already done and decided that we needed to retest. Upon evaluation of the new tests, he discovered another oversight on our first fertility centers evaluation, one that would have had us continue to try an improper treatment and cost us valuable time and money. With the correct assessment, we were able to come up with a treatment plan and get started right away. I felt fully supported by Dr. Sharara and the team and saw him every appointment (this was entirely different from our first clinic, I met my doctor once). His nurse Jo, who I LOVE, was in touch quickly with me if I had questions, at any time of the day or night, which was so helpful. Trish, who manages billing, took the time to explain our coverage multiple times and was quick to respond to my follow up questions. I felt like family, which during this difficult time, was exactly what I needed. This was NOT easy, you will likely be on a strict diet and quite a few supplements. Dr. Sharara is direct during the process and will tell you what will and will not work to get to your goals based on his years of experience. If you do what he asks, it will be worth it in the end. I'm writing this review as my newborn is sleeping... If you are even contemplating getting assistance on your fertility journey, I highly recommend VCRM.Excellent! When we started our fertility journey, we had so many questions and were nervous that we wouldn’t be able to get pregnant. We were also worried about finding a doctor…Excellent! When we started our fertility journey, we had so many questions and were nervous that we wouldn’t be able to get pregnant. We were also worried about finding a doctor who was LGBT-friendly. Dr. Sharara and his staff were so wonderful!! We are so glad we found VCRM. We had so much confidence in Dr. Sharara and he walked us through every choice we made. Also, I’ve never been to a doctor’s office were I spent so little time in the waiting room. Dr. Sharara and his staff were so respectful of our time. Everyone was so welcoming every time we came in and they were all so helpful and supportive. Through all the ups and downs, Dr. Sharara and his staff were compassionate and caring. When I was far enough along to move on to seeing an obstetrician, we were sad to say good-bye to everyone at VCRM. Both my wife and I would highly recommend Dr. Sharara!Love this clinic and I owe them everything!

I appreciated that he did a very thorough and comprehensive diagnostic work up to figure out the best treatment plan. As someone who is also in the healthcare field, I very much appreciate having more data. I know that I'm very lucky to have only had to do one round of IVF and for the first transfer to be successful. Dr. Sharara gave me agency to decide when to start IVF (I personally didn’t want to spend much time doing IUI) and was supportive of all my decisions as long as they were medically sound. I highly recommend Dr. Sharara.Dr. Sharara was exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough, and detail-oriented.

He took the time to understand my situation from the very beginning and never rushed any part of the process. He explained every step clearly, always supported decisions with medical reasoning, and made sure I understood the “why” behind each approach. I felt like I was under the care of someone who truly knew what he was doing and who genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for us. My experience with him was reassuring, personal, and ultimately very successful.He [Dr. Fady Sharara was with me every step of the way.

He wanted to get to the root of the problem, and he did exactly that with his methodology before encouraging me to try another transfer. Dr. S truly cares about each patient and their journey. I am forever grateful for his expertise and his staff’s kind support during our process with him. He told us from the start that he would not do another transfer until he was positive, we were ready and prepped. He did just that, and we were pregnant on our first transfer with him.From the first consultation with Dr. Sharara, I could tell he was patient centered and tailored his treatment plans.

Dr. Sharara immediately changed my lifestyle, to include diet and exercise while adding a thyroid treatment. I ended up pregnant as a result, which saved us from more invasive treatments...I had pcos so our protocol included going on a no sugar diet, scaling back HIIT workouts, and taking a thyroid pill as well as metformin. I did the diet exercise for about 3 months and the meds for about 1 month before getting pregnant...He [Dr. Sharara] is current on the latest science and honest...And my protocol was totally unique to me and my situation.

Dr. Sharara would even work with me to figure out how to do things in parallel so we could save time (he knew I was older, and I had been trying for a long time). But he is careful and thoughtful about his approach...Dr. Sharara did tests that no one else even asked about or bothered to do. He focused on my health -- diet, supplements, sleep, even my husband's health. Dr. Sharara’ s tests identified problems that were not identified in the other two clinics. He was reachable by phone and takes time to explain things thoroughly. He advised me of the option to do PRP on my ovaries to help with egg quality and referred me to Dr. Tabbarah for a minor surgery to remove some polyps in my uterus -- after both those wI cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Sharara and his staff.

My husband and I visited the practice after months of failed attempts to conceive and were met by a knowledgeable, concise, and comforting professional. Through their advise, we were able to conceive naturally within two months. Sadly, nature had other plans and Dr. Sharara gently coached us through a heartbreaking ectopic pregnancy. We decided to use IVF and ultimately lucked out after one round. We felt so well taken care of and valued by everyone, from Mary and Trisha at the reception desk to Jo and Lily in the back. We were sad to move on from VCRM but with good reason! Can't recommend them enough.He [Dr. Sharara] made several incorrect assumptions of my diet, period, and lifestyle based on blood work from a year ago, and when I tried to provide more updated information, he…He [Dr. Sharara] made several incorrect assumptions of my diet, period, and lifestyle based on blood work from a year ago, and when I tried to provide more updated information, he wouldn't listen...He didn't even offer the opportunity to ask him questions during our consultation...He spoke so quickly that I didn't have a chance to ask him to explain certain things...He ordered (18) new labs. Some of which I understood to be just a check for a more recent/accurate information, but several others he didn't explain. He also ordered several other tests that were more inline with difficulty getting pregnant (ie. check if Fallopian tubes were blocked) instead of our recurrent pregnancy loss experience.Dr Sharara is miraculous.

He gave us hope when there was none and I now have a beautiful baby boy and am now pregnant with my second. I was a very complicated case and really appreciated his honest, hands on care.

He shared his plan with me, and we started our journey together...is brilliant, experienced, warm, kind, caring and gave me so much hope when I wasn't feeling so strong. I have never been treated better or have been in better hands from any doctor in my entire life... I found out I had hypothyroidism (which a began taking a prescription for) and a vitamin D deficiency. I also found out from the hysteroscopy that I had cysts along my uterine wall (that could have been caused from all the hormones I had taken for IUIs prior to finding Dr. Sharara). With those there, I wasn't getting pregnant. I underwent surgery soon after. All of this was done between the end of June 2018-July 2018 (quick!). My husband also went through a screening that not only analyzed the amount of sperm he produced, but also the functionality. This CAP test gave him a CAP score. We then had a percentage of us conceiving naturally (which was very low and most likely not going to happen). Being 37 years old, I felt I wasted enough time with other doctors and my husband and I, along with Dr. Sharara made the decision to go forward with IVF.Dr. Sharara is brilliant.

I had a chronical case of endometriosis and pregnancy chances were very, very small and narrow. I had several IVF cycles in other fertility clinics where treatments were depersonalized and attention was mediocre. Then I met Dr. Sharara who from the very first appointment was a world away from previous experiences. His approach is holistically, building an individualized diagnosis, exploring causes and providing right and customized treatment options for you after thoroughly discuss it with you. He was able to uncover details about my condition that other doctors had missed. He basically changed my life!!! My first transfer was successful and my daughter is a 2 years old miracle of life. Then I decided for a second transfer of one of the frozen embryos and my second transfer was also a success, I am 37 week pregnant of a boy! .

His cautiously optimistic style left us feeling confident that we were not being sold a bill of goods, and irrespective of the outcome, we were receiving the best care available...He provided comprehensive answers with respect to the causes of our infertility, in a no-nonsense and straightforward manner. In our first meeting he took the time to listen to our experiences, and understand why we were there. He reviewed our previous test results, and explained things our prior provider had never mentioned. He immediately put his finger on what he felt was the problem. He didn’t promise us miracles, but he did promise us a clear path forward, and alternative paths if need be.Dr Sharara gets results. He is the best out there.

From the first appointment he was finding solutions, and ready to get started-he understood what an emotional time it was for us, and made it known that he would not give up.
