Shady Grove Fertility in Sarasota

Courtney and Cori are the two people we’ve worked with most throughout this journey. They have both been incredibly pleasant, supportive, and communicative, which has made such a difference during what can be a very stressful process. We’ve truly appreciated their kindness and responsiveness every step of the way.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with this clinic. From the very beginning, I felt truly cared for, supported, and in the best hands possible. Dr. Sarker is an absolutely amazing physician. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and made me feel confident and reassured at every step of the process. I trusted her completely with one of the most important journeys of my life. Her nurse, Cori, was phenomenal. She was always on top of everything, incredibly responsive, and consistently answered the phone with patience and kindness. Communication was excellent, which made such a difference during an emotional and stressful time. Victoria, the tech, was always such a pleasant, smiling face to see at my appointments. Her warmth and positivity never went unnoticed and made each visit feel a little lighter. I did have a difficult time during the stimulation phase leading up to my egg retrieval, but the support and guidance from the entire team helped me through it. In the end, I had a successful first fresh transfer and now have two perfect embryos waiting for the future. I am beyond grateful for this clinic and the incredible people who work there. They made a very challenging journey feel supported, hopeful, and ultimately successful. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone going through IVF.

The Sarasota office is exceptional. I am so appreciative that Shady Grove opened an office south of the Skyway so I don’t have to travel far. The office is very clean and they have always seen me either on time or early. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I had Dr. Sarkar for monitoring and she was so personable and caring. She initiated conversation and had amazing bedside manner. She also talked me through what she was looking at via ultrasound. Thank you so much Dr. Sarkar and the rest of the Sarasota office staff for a wonderful experience!

Words cannot describe how amazing Dr. Plosker and the Shady Grove staff are! As someone who has not had the best experiences with doctor’s offices, I am blown away at how incredible the team is and how personable they make the process. Everyone is so communicative and you never feel like you are bothering them when you have a question. You never feel like you don’t know what is going on as they always provide updates and keep you in the loop. After we had our first consultation with Dr. Plosker, my husband and I got in the car and both said this is definitely the doctor for us. He does an incredible job explaining things to you, answering all your questions and making you feel comfortable. The world needs more doctors like him. We’ve been to several locations for SGF for various appointments and I am not kidding when I say every single person we have come in contact with here is phenomenal. Our patient care coordinator Ashley made the initial testing process smooth and went above and beyond to make sure our appointments were scheduled at times that worked best for us. She was always so positive and made what is a daunting process to start, seem much less scary. My nurse, Nicole is an awesome communicator and does a great job explaining things and never makes you feel like an inconvenience for asking a question. She’s always on top of things and it’s obvious how much she cares about her patients. Elenie and Rachel are also rockstars and go above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. 100/10 recommend this office and team!

My husband and I have been on a long and difficult journey with infertility for the past 18 months, marked by two heartbreaking miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. During that time, I often felt discouraged and overwhelmed. In my search for clinics and doctors, I struggled with the feeling of being just another number—someone whose pain and hopes weren’t truly seen or understood. That all changed when we found Dr. Sarkar and our incredible nurse, Cori, at SGF. From the very first appointment, they treated us with such compassion, patience, and genuine care. They took the time to explain every step, every dosage, and every symptom, never rushing us or making us feel like our concerns were too small. Their attentiveness gave me peace of mind during moments when anxiety could have easily taken over. What stood out most was how deeply they made us feel seen. In a process that can feel so clinical and isolating, Dr. Sarkar and Cori brought warmth, humanity, and encouragement. They celebrated small victories with us, reassured us through setbacks, and created an environment where we felt safe and supported. Thanks to their expertise and kindness, we are now joyfully graduating from SGF at 8 weeks pregnant! This milestone feels nothing short of miraculous, and we are filled with gratitude and excitement for the future. I wholeheartedly recommend SGF—and especially Dr. Sarkar and Nurse Cori—to anyone seeking not only excellent medical care but also a team that will walk beside you with empathy, dedication, and love. They turned one of the hardest chapters of our lives into a story of hope and healing, and we will forever be thankful!!
