Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ready for round 2!
Dr. Nguyen came to the rescue after 12 failed IUI attempts and an unexplained infertility diagnosis. She helped us concieve our baby girl! Dr. Nguyen has a calm and focused demeanor and she personally made phone calls after procedures to check in with how we were doing! We cannot say enough good things about her and her staff at Mechanicsburg. We cannot wait for round 2!

Dr. Nguyen and the staff at SGF Mechanicsburg are wonderful. From the initial consultation to transitioning to our own OBGYN was a great experience. Dr. Nguyen is very knowledgable, takes her time to listen to couples and understand their journey and offers treatment options that fit the couple. Navigating this journey can be difficult, and having her in our corner, accurately diagnosing the underlying condition, and offering the best treatment options is exactly what we needed and were able to conceive naturally. The staff are also supportive and are great at communicating with patients and are in tune with your treatment plans as there are many visits that are time sensitive. Would 100% recommend!

Great Fertility Doctor
Dr. Nguyen and her team at Shady Grove Fertility were fantastic. We met with Dr. Nguyen and she explained the testing that we would undergo and the different treatments options. Her team was with us every step of the way and was extremely supportive. After a few tests, we were able to conceive naturally and the Shady Grove team administered ultrasounds and handed us off to our OB/GYN. Great doctor, great team, great practice.

Dr. Nguyen was amazing from the first appointment on. She was always friendly, kind, and willing to answer any question I came up with. We felt extremley comfortable with her and the rest of the staff from the moment we walked in for our first appointment. She expalined our diagnosis and gave great recommendations for what to do moving forward. We can't thank her enough for giving us an opportunity we likely wouldnt have had without her help.

Dr. Nguyen is an amazing doctor. As a first time patient with IVF, she made my husband and feel comfortable and was thorough with each visit. After 1 try we were we to get pregnant. You’re not just a patient at Shady Grove. You build a connection with everyone. I would recommend Shady Grove/Dr. Kara Nguyen to anyone. Thank you Dr. Nguyen.

I struggled for years with infertility. I met with a fertility specialist somewhere else and left very discouraged. I was then recommended to Shady Grove and after the first consult with Dr. Nguyen I was hopeful of the possibility of becoming pregnant. 1 round of IUI and I can report that I am 8 weeks pregnant. The entire staff has been amazing through this entire experience. There is not a single negative I can report. On my last visit, It was very emotional. I was so excited to be pregnant but sad to be moving on from Shady Grove. I wish they could follow me the entire way through my pregnancy. I would recommend Shady Grove to anyone experiencing infertility. As a side note for anyone starting fertility treatments, I added acupuncture a few weeks before the first procedure.

I had the pleasure of having Dr Nguyen as my reproductive endocrinologist. Throughout my fertility experience Dr Nguyen showed compassion and empathy every step of the way. I felt comfortable and educated, thanks to her knowledge and experience. She was approachable and explained everything very thoroughly. She was kind and genuinely cared about myself and my journey. The infertility road is long and hard. It meant the world to me to have such strong support and knowledgeable guidance throughout the process. I am forever grateful for Dr Nguyen and her amazing staff. They made my experience as positive and painless as possible. I highly recommend Dr Nguyen and her team at Shady Grove Fertility. Forever thankful :-)

Poor experience at shady grove and with Dr Nguyen. From the first visit, my husband said “these people aren’t going to help us.” And he was right. We were treated like we didn’t deserve a baby. Run around and no straight answers. I was told Dr Nguyen would call with test results; never did. We were just looking for help and non was to be found at shady grove.

Not only was the staff so supportive and caring, they were genuinely rooting for me throughout this who process. It has not been an easy road, but I would only want these people on it with me.

After trying to get pregnant for two years, and being diagnosed with endometriosis a year and a half later, we were referred to SGF. Dr. Nguyan explained not only that we had chances to get pregnant, but that my pain was going to be gone during the pregnancy. We decided to do IVF and are expecting our little miracle at the end of August. Kara and her team were amazing and I recommend this clinic if you are having fertility issues or questions.

Dr. Nguyen is an amazing doctor and I would recommend her to anyone. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us through the beginning of our journey becoming first-time parents. When we found out we were pregnant, she was genuinely so excited for us. If we decide on a second child, I will be going back to her care, for sure. The process was very scary for us as we were never through it before, but she answered all of our questions thoroughly and with care and concern!
