Physicians and Clinical Team
Physicians at Shady Grove Fertility Richmond are board-certified reproductive endocrinologists who participate in the network's systemwide continuing education, quality improvement, and clinical research programs. The Shady Grove model uses a rotating physician schedule for monitoring appointments, which means patients may see multiple physicians during a single stimulation cycle, while their primary physician leads retrieval and transfer procedures. Nursing coordinators and financial counselors at the Richmond location play a central role in guiding patients through the administrative and clinical milestones of treatment.

Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Virginia does not have a comprehensive state mandate requiring insurance coverage for IVF. Some insured patients may have fertility benefits through their employer, and Shady Grove Fertility is known for its robust financial counseling services that help patients understand all available coverage options. The practice also offers shared-risk financing programs through Shady Grove's proprietary financial products, which allow patients to pay a set fee for multiple IVF cycles with a partial refund provision if a live birth does not result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Shady Grove Richmond offer weekend monitoring? Yes. Weekend monitoring appointments are available to accommodate patients during the stimulation phase of IVF cycles, which requires visits every one to three days and cannot be paused for weekends.
Can I see the same physician at every appointment? Shady Grove uses a rotation model for monitoring, so you may see different physicians during blood draw and ultrasound visits. Your primary physician will typically perform the egg retrieval and embryo transfer procedures.
What is the Shared Risk program? Shady Grove's Shared Risk program is a multi-cycle IVF package with a partial refund component if the patient does not achieve a live birth within the contracted number of cycles. Eligibility criteria apply. Ask the financial counselor for current program details.
How does Shady Grove support LGBTQ+ family building? The practice offers reciprocal IVF, donor sperm coordination, and gestational carrier services designed to meet the specific needs of LGBTQ+ patients. Staff are trained to provide inclusive care throughout the process.
