Rachana Garde, MD, MPH

During our initial visit she promised certain items and had mentioned about certain options which later turned out to be incorrect. The cost estimates that she provided were also incorrect. Ended up paying way more than what she told us. Very disappointed. Treated us like just a number, no personal care provided. Had to see multiple other doctors also during the entire process. Would not recommend she and SGF to anyone.

Dr Garde has the ability to listen and answer your questions. She is amazing. She will tell you the hard truths and all the warning she not afraid to let you know her professional opinion. I can appreciate that. She doesnt rush her appointments with you, she takes her time which allows you to relax and trust her. I am so happy that we are attending her SGF facility and had the amazing experience of working with her and her team.

We used Dr. Garde and SGF to conceive our first child. When we were ready for Baby 2, we had no hesitation to visit with her again. She is kind, genuine, understanding, patient, and trustworthy. She clearly explained our options in both instances, and supported the decisions we made in the process. It was clear to us as an LGBT couple that she was 100% rooting for us to conceive, even going so far as to personally call us to congratulate us on our pregnancy since she wasn't in the office in person on our "graduation" day. You will not find a better doctor, or person, around. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Garde!

Firstly, I wanna say big thanks to Dr.Garde nurse Toni and my team. They are very kind and patient to “ families “(I don’t want call patients). I started different treatments since couple years ago, They encourage us to go ahead . And I can tell they all try the best to offer help instead of just finishing a job. I really recommend SGF to people who has similar situation like me. I told my friends don’t worry about our poor English, no one will laugh at you. Don’t be shy to ask any question cause they will explain it and help you to catch the key words. Support yourself, support your team then they will support you like you do !Each time has great conversation with Dr. Garde . She can explain everything clearly and patience. I trust her professional and suggestions cause that’s my real feel!

This was myself and my partner's first time trying to conceive. We went to Dr. Garde for an initial consult to discuss IVF and IUI. She was very informative and made sure all of our questions were answered. She never once got annoyed with us and our billion questions. She suggested we try a natural IUI first, and add medication if it seemed to be needed. She did not automatically think it would be necessary considering my age. Every visit we had for blood work, ultrasounds etc, the staff was always friendly and welcoming! We got pregnant on our first IUI attempt and are so grateful. We truly appreciate Dr. Garde, and would strongly recommend her and the Shady Grove experience to anyone!

The care and attention my husband and I received from Dr. Garde and the Woodbridge staff was top notch. They have helped to guide us through every step of our IVF journey. Dr Garde and her staff were very attentive to our needs. She helped us to make our dreams of having our first child a reality.

This is the first time I ever review anyone online. However, I can't help but let people know how they work. I visited this office after a month of appointment. When I came an office manager came out and said the doctor is busy and want me to wait for 30 minutes. I said ok.. 15 minutes later he came out and told me that the doctor will be with me in a few minutes. Half an hour later, he came out and told me that I should reschedule the appointment after more than one hour waiting. I think its bad business, because they are wasting my whole day with their own overbooking of patients. I would never go back here

Thank you so much dr. Garde for everything you and your staff did for me. You are the best dr i have ever visited, you and your team are very humble and down to earth, always ready to help the patient. All of you deserve the best of everything in life. Im 9weeks pregnant now. This was my second ivf fresh cycle, first one was failed in 2013 and i was so disappointed but the second cycle gave us the biggest happiest news of our life. God bless you all

Dr Garde is rude, arrogant and irresponsible. Her knowledge level seems average and I regret that i chose her as my doctor. In fact, she is the worst doctor I have ever met.

Dr. Garde treated me when some of the other Annandale Drs were not available. At least there was a doctor there, but she clearly did not want to be. She was terse, unsympathetic, and dismissive. I only saw here twice but both times she seemed annoyed that she had to be there. She did the sonogram and was pretty gentle both times, but she did not want to talk, answer questions, and got out as quickly as possible.
