About Shady Grove Fertility When co-founders, Michael J. Levy, M.D., and Arthur W. Sagoskin, M.D., established Shady Grove Fertility more than 30 years ago, they had no idea that the practice would rise to national and international prominence as a Center of Excellence in the field of reproductive medicine, IVF, and infertility. The goal of the new practice was simple: to provide cutting-edge fertility care in an environment that supported patients’ physical, emotional, and financial needs as well as to make future business and clinical decisions based on what is in the best interest of the patients.
