Joseph O'Brien Doyle

Dr. Doyle and his nurse Effie, are excellent. It’s as simple as that. I have now graduated from SHADYGROVE and am honestly scared that the care I receive elsewhere will not be quite as amazing as SHADYGROVE has been. You can tell the minute you walk in to their Annapolis or Rockville centers that you will receive the highest standard of care and as a LGBTQ couple. That professionalism is important. I wish I could be with them through my whole pregnancy.

My husband and I have been very happy with our experience at SGF. The clinical staff, including Dr. Doyle, are exceptional and it is a top-notch fertility center. I always felt like I was in good, knowledgeable hands and that Dr. Doyle really cared and was thinking critically about our treatment plan. He is very personable to work with, listens to you closely, is always willing to answer your questions/address your worries, and follows up with personal phone calls on important days during your treatment. Dr. Doyle did not lose hope for us, even when sometimes we started losing steam, and we are pregnant with our first child. I would highly recommend Dr. Doyle to anyone considering fertility treatment!

Great service from the beginning to the end. I have been with Dr. Doyle for 1 year now and I have always felt appreciated and comfortable with him. He is very polite, has a suitable bedside manner, and is an excellent listener. He is very knowledgeable about his profession. He has really weep the tears off my face and I will forever be grateful to him. I will surely recommend friends and families who need help to him. Thank you so much.

Best Doctor ever. He really put a smile on my face. I was also recommended to him by my OBGYN. He is very polite, has good bedside manners, and is always willing to help and he listens to you. Lastly, very professional and he knows his job. Thanks very much.

Dr. Doyle is an amazing doctor. He has the best bedside manners and genuinely cares about his patients. With his treatment we were blessed with two babies. I would highly recommend Dr. Doyle if you are looking for a fertility doctor that is devoted to your care.

Dr. Doyle met with us for a virtual consultation as we are considering IVF and preimplantation genetic screening. He was extremely thorough and provided us with all of the facts we needed to know. We are located internationally and he has been able to connect us with doctors more locally. We are very thankful for his time and kind manner.

he helped me have my little angel! Great Dr. all around!

Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Doyle does not match the other glowing reviews. Our initial interactions were positive (he has a good bedside manner) but went downhill. From test results on the viability of our embryos not being conveyed for 2 weeks to forgetting to have my embryo transferred to the Rockville Clinic for implementation, it was one mishap after another. This continued after I became pregnant. We learned in the anatomical ultrasound that we were having a son. Since genetic testing had been performed & a female embryo was selected for transfer, this triggered 5 weeks of hell & rounds of testing to determine if I was in fact carrying our embryo or another family's & if embryo had genetic issues. SGF's response has been very disappointing, seeming at times to point the finger at Igenomix, their 3rd party genetic testing lab, and providing little support in a horrible situation. We did not receive the level of care and professional attention that SGF promises.

Dr. Doyle handled me during my embryo transfer. He was very friendly and communicates well with his patients. Makes you feel at ease and during that time I was in a very uncomfortable situation and he made sure that everything went well before proceeding with the transfer. The staff at Rockville were all friendly and approachable. Would be glad to come back soon for our 2nd transfer! Currently pregnant with our first and first time IVF. Thankful to SGF!

Great Doctor and good results. I highly recommend.

I met with Dr. Doyle for the first time yesterday and was very impressed. He definitely lived up to the glowing referral from my OBGYN. He was welcoming, informative, and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and sent us home with additional reading materials. I was extremely anxious about my appointment and Dr. Doyle instantly put me at ease. He has a fantastic "bed-side" manner. I am now feeling optimistic and excited about continuing treatment with Dr. Doyle and SGF in the hopes of conceiving.

Dr. Doyle is very knowledgable and personable. He is very easy to talk to and explains things in detail. He took his time with me which is important. This is my second time working with Dr. Doyle, 4 years apart. I have recommended Dr. Doyle to many of my friends struggling with inferility and they have all had a positive experience. I will continue to recommend Dr. Doyle to anyone in need.

Dr. Doyle has always been patient and compassionate. His bedside manners is impeccable. The stress of the experience requires his mannerisms and professionalism. I highly recommend him.

This was our first IVF consultation, Dr. Doyle made us feel very comfortable and safe. My husband is in the Military in another country and being here for the whole IVF process is unrealistic but Dr. Doyle assured my husband he will take good care for me. I'm pleased with his service and level of customer service. Can't wait to start the process. Can't wait to tell my husband we are expecting. I know Dr. Doyle can do it, with God's help. So far I'm a happy patient????

My husband and I really could not ask for a better team! Dr. Doyle was comforting, answered all questions and always greeted us with the most amazing smile. His supporting staff was amazing as well! Every question was answered in a timely fashion and the bed side manner was exceptional. It can be a scary process with each step in the IVF process, but when you feel like the clinical team wants success as much as you do, it makes a world of difference. I'd never recommend anywhere else!

Dr. Doyle was wonderful during our Donor Egg process. He was detailed, warm, and honest throughout. He always let us know what to expect and what steps we needed to take, and never hesitated to answer our questions. He and his team did a great job, which led to a successful transfer, and now we have a beautiful baby girl after our first attempt! I highly recommend working with him.

Words can't even describe the amazing patient care I received at SGF. As someone who was afraid to begin treatment, everyone made it wonderful experience. Dr. Doyle is truly the BEST doctor I have ever had. The monitoring staff in Rockville helped me brave every blood draw and were so patient and kind to me. SGF is where you will start or grow your family!

Dr. Doyle was amazing from the start after a recommendation from our nurse practitioner we discussed options with him and he supported our decision to go back to the nurse practitioner to pursue a cheaper route with Clomid. A year later he welcomed us back with open arms and was even more willing to aid us in our dreams of expanding our family after three failed IUI attempts we moved on to IVF and had success we were able to become pregnant after the first round.

Dr. Doryle is a wonderful doctor who helped us bring our two children (now ages 3 and 3 months) into our lives. From our first meeting four years ago, Dr. Doyle was compassionate, patient with my many questions, and always took the time to explain why we were doing things a certain way. We didn't always have good news (several failed transfers), and he was always kind and encouraging as we forged on. I would not hesitate to recommend SGFC, and especially Dr. Doyle.

Strongly recommend him, tried few clinics with out success and dr Doyle made our dream come true in very first attempt.

Dr. Doyle is very thorough and personable. I'd recommend him to anyone looking into egg freezing or infertility treatments.

I recommend Dr. Doyle to everyone! I was at such a low point by the time I met him, and from our very first meeting, he made me hopeful, he made me feel understood, and he listened to me put all my "crazy" out on the table. He responded to every concern I had, no matter how trivial. He is always patient, and took so much time with my husband and me. There are definitely other capable doctors, but this was the perfect fit for me. He explains without ever condescending, and he went above & beyond.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Doyle to family and friends. He consistently went above and beyond to speak with me personally about my treatment, always calling me after each cycle to answer any questions I had and discuss next steps. He truly cared about us and wanted our treatment to be successful.

Dr. Doyle was amazing. He knew we would get there one day even at times when I wasn't sure. Our first transfer didn't take and we did a frozen transfer the second time. If I really needed to talk to him he called me back. The only person I'm not sure I would recommend would be the nurse we had but I trusted Dr. Doyle the whole time.

Hands down the most wonderful Reproductive Endocrinologist we have ever dealt with, and we have dealt with a few. The practice runs smoothly and effectively. This doctor knows his field inside out. He is a very capable clinician when it comes to tricky procedures... Yet he is still down to earth, respectful and gentle. He also truly cares about his patients and it shows. He would be the one to call you personally and make the effort to be there for you at every step. Can't say enough!!

I had an awful experience with Dr. Doyle. I signed up for Assure 30 program. I paid out of my pocket $18,000.00 for the program and over $6,000.00 for medications for my first IVF cycle. He was able to retrieve 0 eggs from 17 follicles that my body developed, 11 of them were above 14mm. The protocol that he created for me was very weak, not tailored well enough. He did not monitored close enough my blood work results and the trigger injection failed thus the entire cycle was a complete failure.

I have never met a doctor so caring and positive as Dr. Doyle. Any doubts or questions I had he was always there to answer and made sure all I asked was understood. Because of him my husband and I had the best experience with the hardest situation we have ever had to deal with. I speak freely about our IVF process and each time I recommend Dr. Doyle and Shady Grove.

Very understanding, empathetic, and doesn't make you feel rushed. Genuine soul.

Dr. Doyle was very good at listening to our previous experience with fertility treatment. I felt like he had a good plan. His staff was so responsive to my little questions along the way and always checked with Dr. Doyle. When I was having monitoring, Dr. Doyle would call and give me updates. He was always so positive and upbeat.

I loved working with Dr. Doyle and the whole Shady Grove team! Dr. Doyle came highly recommended by my regular gyn, mostly because he is very communicative and thorough and I would say I agree with that whole heartedly. He was very responsive to my concerns and always willing to meet. He treatment plans conservatively and was always willing to adapt the treatment process as progressed. Both he and my nurse, Azure were so kind and caring. We are expecting a baby girl in August!

Dr. Doyle immediately put me at ease. He was easy going, laid back, incredibly reassuring and attentive to every question asked or emotion expressed, and made a complicated process easy to understand. He was always accessible and very real. I'd recommend working with him to anyone!

Dr. Doyle was an amazing doctor from start to finish. He explained everything that was happening so we could understand and kept us informed of the next step. Infertility is such an emotional process and he comforted me as much as he could every time. Great doctor all around!
