Melanie Ochalski, M.D.

We cant say enough about how wonderful Dr. Ochalski is! She goes above and beyond for her patients. She always took the time to answer any questions for us and consistently checked in on us to see how we were doing. Although it wasnt an easy road for us, she didnt let us lose hope! We are finally expecting our little miracle, and we owe it all to Dr. Ochaski and the team at Shady Grove York Office!

My husband and I are very grateful to have had Dr. Ochalski guide us through our fertility journey. Dr. Ochalski was very dedicated to ensuring our needs and goals as patients were met. She is very knowledgable, understanding, and compasionate which made us feel supported and cared about throughout the entire process. She is both professional and personal, which made us feel like we also had a friend through what was a very difficult time in our lives. I cannot reccomend her enough.

We couldnt have asked for a better experience at Shady Grove and with Dr. O! We struggled for a while trying to conceive and Dr. O assisted and took the best care of us throughout the defeating process of infertility. Because of Dr. Os expertise, knowledge and care we were able to conceive our miracle baby :) We are forever grateful for our experience with Dr. O!-Kelly & Seth Arnold

I worked with Dr. Ochalski at the Lancaster office, she is understanding, caring and made my husband and I feel so comfortable talking about our needs and wishes. Every single SGF care team member, regardless of the location, was so friendly and considerate and really made us feel safe. SGF was beyond organized, And always knew what step of the process I was at. We’ve gone through a very successful egg retrieval and three embryo transfers. I have one amazing daughter and we’re expecting our second in a few months. It’s been a dream come true and it’s all thanks to SGF.

We started our journey back in 2019 shortly after I was diagnosed with pcos by my OB provider thinking it might take us a little longer to get pregnant. We tried for 10 months without success and I was missing a lot of cycles. We consulted with Shady Grove of Lancaster and was immediately welcomed and felt reassured by Dr. Ochalski. It was was through the initial testing we discovered I had a blocked fallopian tube and hypothyroidism. For 10 months we tried natural cycles, medicated cycles and IUI but still no success. We took a break in December and at end of January found out we were pregnant to our surprise, shady grove gladly offered to follow the pregnancy but unfortunately in February I started to miscarry and then we found it was an ectopic pregnancy but in my open Fallopian tube, Dr. O was extremely helpful and empathetic and cared very deeply for our loss, she truly is an amazing person! That June we started the IVF process and we’re successful with 5 embryos being frozen. I needed surgery to remove my blocked fallopian tube but it was discovered that both my Fallopian tubes were badly damaged and scarred and were removed making me sterile. It was extremely hard to cope with the fact I would never naturally conceive a baby but thankful for the 5 embryos we had. Our first transfer was the September and it took! My pregnancy with our daughter went very smooth along with my delivery and I’m thankful to say I have a beautiful happy and healthy 10 month old girl named Adaline Grace and I couldn’t have done any of it without my shady grove team, my nurse Lindsey gives the absolute best care and her and Dr. O are just an amazing care team. I’m excited and thankful that I have the opportunity to work with them in the future as we hopefully grow our family even more one day!❤️

I started working with Dr Ochalski after we had some problems with our previous clinic. We felt like we wanted a fresh started and contacted Shady Grove. From our initial consult, Dr O was very positive and reassuring. She was always there answer my questions and was very knowledgeable. I am happy to report that we had success and cant thank Shady Grove enough. After a year and a half of disappointments, we are so thankful we made the switch and started working with Dr. O and the whole Shady Grove team.

Dr. Ochalski is just an exceptional doctor. Not only is she highly skilled, but her bedside manner is phenomenal. She is very positive, caring, and worked with our faith and views on life. She has repeatedly gone above and beyond to care for me. Her communication is excellent as well. I cannot say enough great things about her. She is a gift!

Dr. Ochalski is wonderful! She’s kind, patient, and personable.
