Shady Grove Fertility

Dr Silva is extremely compassionate, educated (and up to date on current data/research), and positive. He is also conservative which is probably why his success ratea are so high. He always makes you feel as though you have the best chance with the decision you make. He outlines options and weighs the pros and cons and he's able to put the information into easy to understand language. We suffered a loss after our first FET and he took 45 minutes out of his day (unplanned) to discuss options with us, talk with us, and encourage us. He is a phenomenal person, extremely smart, and the only doctor I would trust with my care. I've referred several friends (from hours away from the clinic)

Great office! The tampa location is definitely growing which I don't love, I miss the smaller feel of when it first opened.

He is soft spoken but knows his stuff. He will answer any questions you have and does not beat around the bush. I worked with Dr. Plosker even before he was at Shady Grove while he was at USF IVF. So all together, I was in his care since 2018. We followed him there because we liked how he conducted himself.

They are a big clinic and have lots of patients so be prepared to see any of the doctors and nurses at any given time just based on the rotations and days of your appointments. The other two doctors at the Tampa offices are Dr. Silva and Dr. Immudia. They are both great as well. Dr. Immudia did a polyp removal on me as well as Dr. Silva. Dr. Immudia did my wife's egg retrieval and Dr. Silva did my successful FET.

He is clearly knowledgeable but seems always in hurry. The practice has a factory feel to it and I'm assuming he has a lot of patients which is why he seems rushed all the time. He answers questions but you have to know which one's to ask.

Again because there are so many patients, sometimes the nurses would forget to call me that evening to give me an update (this was not frequent, but it did happen maybe twice?). The nurses do not seem rushed and do provide a lot of emotional support and are happy to spend as much time as you need. There was only time time where I had an urgent question (I developed a cold sore on my lip and wasn't sure if I could take medication for it since I had started treatment-time is important when treating this as taking medication on day 2 of an outbreak is not as effective as of day 1) and it wasn't answered right away despite calling and emailing them. I felt like I had to chase them down to get an answer. It took the nurse about 48 hours which is too late in this particular situation. Again, this wasn't frequent but it did happen.
