RE recommendation? Preferred in MD

Looking for a RE for second opinion.

Willing to drive but live in Beltsville so anything in VA/DC would be a pretty ugly commute. Current doctor is Dr. Stillman at Shady Grove Fertility in Rockville (who I ADORE btw) so even better if they aren't with that practice.

Re: RE recommendation? Preferred in MD

  • I was going to say either Dr. Sagoskin or Dr. Stillman at Shady Grove. Dr. Sagoskin was my main RE and Dr. Stillman did our successful IUI. Sorry I can't help with a non-Shady Grove doctor.

  • A good friend of mine used Columbia Fertility with success - their office is right over near Montgomery Mall in Bethesda I think. She did have a complaint that they were IVF happy so she had to convince them to give IUI a shot (which worked).

    Other than that, I can't give any non-SG recs. :) I too had Dr. Stillman and loved him! Dr. Levy did 2 of our 3 IUIs and I really liked him too but that doesn't help you.

    Thanks. I'll look at them.

    I'm not too worried about the IVF-happy thing. I can get preg like a champ but all are chrom abnormal so IVF with PGD testing has been our only option unless there's something Stillman totally overlooked.

    Honestly, I'm not expecting miracles - I just need the second opinion to confirm what I know in my heart to be true so I can have some peace of mind about DH getting snipped.

  • I had an appt. with Dominion, but had to cancel it.  A friend of mine had twins with Dominion and swears by them!!  I ended up switching doctors at Shady Grove.  Went to O'Brien.  Even though it was the same practice, the difference of opinion was night and day.  Something to think about.

    i don't even know you BGP but my thoughts are with you. i have followed your posts and you are one tough/brave lady.

    whenever someone asks me "so why do you have kids" i actually say know, you know you never really know what someone is going through when you ask that question. 

  • It's a haul, but I went to Dominion Fertility in Arlington. I saw Dr. DiMattina, and he was my miracle worker. I also had no problem getting pregnant, but staying pregnant was a different story. I had 3 losses before going to him, and I conceived my daughter under his care, and now have a wonderful almost 4-month old baby girl. I've followed your story on TTCAL/TTCAL 6+ and I'm still hoping for the best for you! Let me know if you have any questions about the doctor or the practice!
