Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) Expands Northern Virginia Physician Team and Welcomes Nicole Doyle, M.D., Ph.D., Improving Access to Quality, Affordable Fertility Care


Dr. Nicole P. Doyle joins Shady Grove Fertility’s Northern Virginia Medical Team.

I firmly believe that the essence of practicing good medicine lies in genuine desire and devotion to delivering the highest quality of medical care through knowledge, strong clinical judgment, compassion, and dedicated support of the patient.

Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) is proud to welcome Nicole P. Doyle, M.D., Ph.D., FACOG, to the Northern Virginia Medical Team. Dr. Doyle will begin seeing patients in SGF’s Fairfax, VA location in February 2020, and will provide a full range of state-of-the-art, in-house diagnostic and treatment options for female and male infertility, elective egg freezing, LGBTQ family building, and fertility preservation prior to cancer treatment.

Dr. Doyle earned her medical degree and doctorate in philosophy from the Medical School of the Technical University of Munich and completed her residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Georgetown University Hospital. Dr. Doyle completed her fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the National Institutes of Health.

“Both institutes where I studied send their students to SGF to be trained so I had the unique opportunity to obtain an inside perspective of the philosophy and mechanics that drive the accomplishments of SGF. I firmly believe that the essence of practicing good medicine lies in genuine desire and devotion to delivering the highest quality of medical care through knowledge, strong clinical judgment, compassion, and dedicated support of the patient. This is the fundamental base that allows us to excel at what we do every day. Early on in my training, it was obvious to me that SGF stands for these qualities and that the achievements of the practice were the result of dedication and hard work by many. I wanted to be a part of their team ever since,” shares Doyle.

Dr. Doyle has published several peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts, book chapters, and review articles in many leading scientific journals in the fields of reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Her specific research interest is examining the timing for embryo transfer and she continues this work as a member of the research team at Shady Grove Fertility. She is a fellow of the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a member of numerous medical organizations.

Her clinical interests include any aspect of female and male infertility, in particular optimizing outcomes in patients with diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency; making advances in in vitro fertilization, oocyte donation, recurrent pregnancy loss, fertility preservation, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

When asked about her approach to caring for patients, “Honesty, thorough counseling, transparence, empathy, and attentive listening have always worked for my patients and me. There is no one approach for a struggling patient, but rather a personalized strategy for each patient at each step of the way. For some a gentle push is needed, for others stopping or a break from treatment might be indicated. A solid physician-patient rapport is the basis to finding the right solution for every patient,” shares Doyle.

SGF has had a significant presence in Northern Virginia for over 2 decades and is the largest fertility center in the state with 13 reproductive endocrinologists and 1 reproductive urologist, 7 locations in Northern Virginia, two locations in Richmond, VA., and two state-of-the-art IVF centers located in Fairfax, VA, and Richmond, VA.
