Eric D. Levens, M.D.

"We were so grateful that we were referred to Dr. Levens by my OBGYN. He is incredibly knowledgeable and he makes you feel at ease, especially when my husband and I were starting our journey with Shady Grove. Dr. Levens answered all of our questions from beginning to end, and was extremely kind whenever we have concerns about our fertility treatment. We have our little one because of Dr. Levens and ever-compassionate Shady Grove - Fairfax team. Thank you all so much!"

"My husband and I were very fortunate to be under the care of Dr. Levens and his outstanding team for nearly four years. He always seemed to know when to be aggressive, when to wait and see, and when to have a backup plan to work around challenges like my husband's deployment. We trusted him implicitly while also feeling like we could ask questions or have a say in the process if we desired. We also appreciated that we always knew what the next step in our treatment plan was. Dr. Levens' willingness to discuss what-ifs and to speak honestly about when treatment no longer made sense was probably the single biggest factor in keeping our stress in check throughout the process. Dr. Levens was always quick to reach out when something went awry or to be available when I needed to talk through my many questions. His nursing team is exceptionally responsive and knowledgable, but he would also give us a call anytime something unexpected happened, including once just to check in on a Saturday after a disappointing retrieval. I'm sure that he is like this with all of his patients, but we felt like he really wanted us to be successful and made sure we knew he was there for us. Finally, the Fairfax office and Shady Grove in general is a large operation, but everyone we have encountered has been so friendly and took the time to get to know us. It seems like the size of the practice made it easier to get in and out before work and to be able to schedule appointments. Our nurse from our first few cycles, Grace, is easily one of our favorite people ever! She was compassionate during hardships and celebrated with us each time we were able to graduate with a viable pregnancy. You truly couldn't pick a better doctor, practice, or group of people to help you navigate infertility!"

"First, I want to acknowledge that this in experience nobody hopes for or expects. It’s incredibly difficult, expensive, and complicated — and there is no guarantee of a positive outcome. All of that said, I have Shady Grove to thank for our two incredible kids. Dr. Levens is an excellent doctor but also incredibly kind and empathetic in my experience. The rest of the staff was consistently responsive and helpful, particularly the nurses. They are honest about your probability of success, and I view that as a kindness, even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear. I’m so grateful that we had this team behind us throughout our journey."

"I can’t say more positive things about Shady Grove fertility and Dr. Leven’s. They know what their doing and are a wonderful place to seek treatment."

"Dr. Levens is truly the best and made me feel so comfortable the first time I met him. He is professional, thorough and have great bedside manner. He was with me every step of way to ensure that I understand the pros and cons to my quest to become a mother. I will definitely recommend him to others. Thank you, Dr. Levens."
