The best! The staff was so amazing. And Dr. Steinleitner is incredible. He is so kind and understanding. I always felt heard and appreciated under his care. We now have a 4 month old little girl and will definitely be using them for our second baby.

Its been a long time since we worked with Dr. Steinleitner back in San Francisco, and I know him to be a wonderful doctor with a wit and wonderful sense of humor, who will tell you how he sees it, and will listen to your needs too. He is also engaged through the whole infertility process with his patients, and was even at the birth of our son along with the pediatrician and obstetrical team. Because of Dr. Steinleitners skill and knowledge, I have a son from my first round of ICSI and he is turning 32 this year. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Steinleitner and his team to help us conceive. We moved away and tried 4 more IVF procedures elsewhere for a 2nd child and they all failed, so we went back to Dr. Steinleitner and conceived, but sadly miscarried early in the 1st trimester. Dr. Steinleitner is a perfectionist and knows what hes doing, and I cant recommend him highly enough.

Round 2!! The best decision we ever made. Dr. Steinleitner and his team are amazing. This was our 2nd round of IVF with him. Of course life has a way of happening and COVID was definitely not on our side. It delayed the process, but we transferred our last beautiful frozen embryo in March of 2022. The 2-week wait seems like eternity, but hearing/seeing my Hcg level made it worth it. Dr. Steinleitner has always taken the time to listen to my concerns. Hes straightforward and will make adjustments to ensure the best possible outcome. IVF is not a guarantee, but for us it was the chance that we prayed for. In December of 2023 we had our son. Were beyond grateful, we tried for 6 years to conceive before finally making the decision to move forward with IVF. We started off at Simple IVF in Fresno (satellite clinic) for routine visit/observation and traveled to SLO for the embryo transfer. Staff at both facilities were helpful, kind, attentive and even came in on the weekend to accommodate my schedule. Dr. Steinleitner is worth trusting. There is nothing exciting about going through IVF, but just knowing that were not alone in this process is truly a weight lifted.

Im not sure why there are so many bad reviews. No dr is perfect or a miracle worker. We were very pleased with Dr Steinleitner. No we didnt love all of his staff. But he explained the process every step of the way and adjusted our protocols as needed. I had one failed transfer, one miscarriage and then my miracle baby. Overall we had a positive experience.

I’ve been going to Dr. Steinleitner’s fertility clinic for the past 2 years and I truly have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff! My husband and I have to drive 3 hours each way for every appointment, and there are certainly other clinics closer to where we live, but we feel it’s totally worth the trek. Right from the first consultation, we knew Dr. Steinleitner was who we wanted to work with on our fertility journey. Everyone who works at his clinic is so kind and makes me feel like a valued patient and not just a number or a dollar sign. Roman, who runs the front desk, has always made me feel especially welcome, greeting me by name when I arrive. My appointments are always on time and I never have to wait too long to see the doctor. More importantly, my questions are always answered promptly when I message the doctor or my cycle coordinator though the patient portal. In person, Dr. Steinleitner is warm and gregarious with a great sense of humor, but he tells it like it is and doesn’t sugarcoat things, which I appreciate. He makes sure we understand both the challenges and the facts behind each procedure, but he is very confident and experienced and I trust him fully to give us the best results possible. He’s also conscious of how expensive this process is and he never pushes for unnecessary expenses. Even the medications are ordered from a low cost pharmacy to save us literally thousands of dollars. IVF is an emotional, expensive, and physically demanding process, so it’s important to go someplace where you feel fully supported. And if you’re on a budget like we are, but still want quality care and a doctor who really does everything he can to make it work, I can’t recommend Dr. Steinleitner enough!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Dr. Steinleitner’s office. I started the process 2 years ago. It’s a lengthy process but thanks to him and all of his professional staff they made the process a lot easier. And thanks to all their help I didn’t have to do IVF just the injections and medication and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy last month. I couldn’t be more thankful for everything they did for me. I would one hundred percent recommend this place.

Dr. Alex Steinleitner is such an experienced and knowledgeable doctor! He is very professional and truly cares about his patients. I was fortunate enough to get pregnant my first time with mini IVF treatment because of his knowledge and care for me as a patient. I am grateful to him and his staff for making this dream come true.

Dr. Steinleitner was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process, which took place over the course of a little more than two years and included many highs and lows. We now have two lovely, healthy baby boys(twins) as a result. I wholeheartedly endorse his services.

Dr. Steinleitner and his staff are absolutely the best! Even thinking to have to look to options that this office provides is scary enough in itself. Important decisions are made behind their doors. You can trust this team of experts with you choices and you checkbook. Dr. S is honest and a realistic with your best interest at heart. He is a chemist genius with a heart of gold! He has carefully selected a team to work in his circle. After being first referred to Stanford, we were disappointed and after dealing with people who didnt answer the phone and didnt remember your name after just leaving the office, we were ready to give up. Fortunately we found Dr. STEINLEITNER, and although we dont know if we are pregnant yet, we feel comfortable that we are definitely in the right hands! Love you guys!

Run. Get a second opinion. Take our advice and save yourself tens of thousands of dollars and find a different, competent fertility doctor. There are more out there.We had a strange feeling with this guy and we persisted a bit too long before getting wise and a second opinion. In for whatever it takes, right? Turns out he was just taking advantage. Just months after seeing a new doctor we conceived and proceeded to carry a beautiful girl full term. She is 7 months now! Turns out that Steinleitner did not do his homework and there was obstructions and polyps in the way! Just had to remove them ($0 cost to us, insurance covered it). He should have known as he had major trouble with the delicate IVF procedure.

We started going here after realizing we needed more help than a regular OB GYN can give me. Initially we were so excited that we felt like we were finally getting someone to help us. In the 4 months that I was a patient here, we literally never met or even spoke to the Dr. himself which was off putting. My partner was not allowed in during the endometrial scratch procedure, which was the first time we had ever been to this office. The Nurse tried to joke with us about how sad he looked when she snapped at him and put out an arm to stop him from coming back with me. They botched my endometrial scratch by not taking enough tissue, held up the jar where I could see it, and tried to distract me by complimenting my eye color which was kind of weird. The office itself is very old feeling, equipment is outdated, and the exam room was crammed with equipment to the point where it felt like i was in a storage area. The sperm sample collection area is in the only restroom. Its an armchair off of the main hallway. . The lack of compassion regarding my partner and then the botched test with little apology made us seek another office. I understand mistakes happen since Nurses and Doctors are people too, but I really did not want to go through that ordeal again and have to waste more time waiting around for results. All in all while the NP was super nice, and the website is a good interface, we just felt like they were very impersonal and not a good fit for us. We switched to SB fertility center and the difference between the two offices is night and day.

My wife and I have been trying for over 5 years and have finally gotten to a financially stable place to pursue fertility options. We called a month ago to set up a consultation with Dr. Steinleitner for today, but it had to be over their Online Portal. We spent weeks fretting and worrying about the consultation, because weve never done anything like it. We would finally get some answers to why it is taking so long to conceive. We were nervous and anxious, but really excited.I had to call back a week ago because I hadnt received instructions on how to set up the Online Portal yet. I found out that they had ALL of our contact information incorrect - even after I had repeated the info thrice to make sure they got it right. Finally they sent us the info, along with forms that needed signed. Both of us work and have school, so we couldnt fill this info out completely before the consultation. According to their office though, it wouldnt be a problem.This morning, we received a call from a Restricted line, which was the first red flag. The man asked for my wife, helped her set up the Online Portal, and confirmed the Appointment for 2PM on the Online Portal. The consultation would go from 2PM to 2:45PM. The office assured us that we could use the portal to speak with the Dr. directly if we had any questions.2PM hits, and we were awaiting the call on our Portal. By 2:10 we called their office to check and see if we were signing in right. We were redirected to their answering service who mustve had a bad day, because she threw attitude at my wife as if she had done something wrong. The lady told us the office was closed and that they couldnt get ahold of anyone. We just assumed he would be working from home, so we stayed on the Portal.2:45 hits, and Im progressively getting irritated. All of this seems too fishy. We sent messages to the Dr. in the portal, but had no response. The only number we had to call was their answering service, and the number THEY used to reach US was on a restricted line. Finally 3PM hits and I call the answering service back to see if they can ask the Dr. why we were stood up. After a brief angry exchange between the lady and I, The lady replied that the Dr. had tried to call my wife, but she didnt answer. So now we need to call their office again tomorrow to reschedule.My wife is heartbroken and devastated, because she took vacation for this appointment. We did NOT receive a call from the Doctor. Even if they got the contact information wrong, they still could have messaged us on the portal. We didnt receive a notification in the Portal, and now we have to pay for a missed appointment. Nothing about this Doctor - or his staff - seems trustworthy. Im legitimately worried that I even sent our medical information to them, as I have no evidence to suggest that this office is even legit.PLEASE read this reviews before you consider this office. I ignored the negative reviews as well, and I even noted that the positive reviews seemed like they were falsely written by the staff. They were way too ecstatic about how awesome and friendly the staff was which all the negative reviews contradict. I went against my better judgement, and my wife is now heartbroken because of it. If I could give less than a star, I would.

I was a patient of Dr. Steinleitner years ago when he first opened his clinic in Fresno, CA. My experience was terrible. I will never recommend his services to anyone.

Great service from the beginning. Dr Steinleitner walked us through our options and tradeoffs. His service, staff and processes have been amazing. We had one minor hiccup with getting a treatment processed and he sorted it and rang us personally to keep us informed.

Im not a patient, but my daughter was.Actually Ive never even posted on any of these blogs, but I feel I have to this time.This is day two after finding out my daughters baby girl is a miscarriage. This is also the second time we have gone through this. First time it was twin boys. This to me has been the worst experience Ive ever gone through. To watch the pain (emotional and physical) that my daughter is going through is heart wrenching.. There is nothing she could have done to make her chances better. She went above and beyond what was required. Through research and speaking with other Doctors, there are certain decisions made by this Doctor that shouldnt have been done or made better choices for my daughter. Ive come to believe that he is in it for the money!!!! So if your being rushed into procedure after procedure beware!!! My daughter was even told if she didnt come up with the next lump sum of money they would terminate the rest of her eggs. And if she waited a month longer it would cost more. And we are still trying to figure out were one of her eggs went. They only have explanations for 7 of the 8 eggs she had. Do we trust this Doctor??? ABSOLUTELY NOT....I seriously dont know if anything is true. Did he use her eggs on her or did he use someone elses. Is my son in law really the father of these embryos??? Did they sell the three they said didnt make it..and the one that is missing...were is it???? A BIG WAIST OF MONEY FOR NOTHING BUT HEART ACHE!!!! I BELIEVE THIS DOCTOR IS INVOLVED IN A SCHEME TO MAKE MONEY AND WORKS OFF OF WOMENS HEARTS!!!! I WILL MAKE SURE THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION... !!!!!!

Omg, I never ever seen this type of caring doctor before in my life . I was getting fertility treatment from other doctors , but no one could find the cause of my 6 miscarriages . I spent 125,000 on fertility treatment . But dr. Alex got me pregnant and currently I am 30 weeks pregnant with twins . Even all the doctor told me not to get pregnant because you can’t carry babies, but dr. Alex assured me that you will have your babies soon.I trusted on me and I am happy today . Please it’s my humble request to go there for fertility treatment . He is very reasonable . He take you in if he sees a capability in you to get pregnant and will not waste your money . Good luck

This dr is a fraud. He keeps wanting more money, he won’t give a straight answer, he forgot to order a medicine so again cost more money, he injured my wife in a sonogram, when you ask for answers or tell him enough is enough that your tired of being hurt misled or your questions being dodged he drops you as a customer and doesn’t even consider your emotions or feelings. My wife and I are a mess now hurt and destroyed emotionally do not go here I could go on and on. I will be suing him and have reported him to the medical board

Alex Steinleitner,MD Office gave me information that was not correct when I called and made my appointment he had stated that my insurance will cover my first visit .Now my insurance is stating that they should’ve requested a pre-authorization I have called and tried to work with the office and they have not been very helpful . I also left my records to be review I never got a call back from them only their bill $300.. first visit charge ...If they can’t help from the beginning what makes you think that they care They’re only there for the $$$$$$!!!!

Nurses re so nice ,so welcoming bt Go somewhere else. Doc Sets u up fr failure.after a circle of letrozole, he tell us a mini IVF is not advisable we needed to do a more advance one.few minutes later,after walking outta his office,someone else says we re going to do iui how is mini ivf not appropriate but u letting us just take medication n have intercourse? ,and now want us to do iui? got so confused .doesnt tell u everything. Push us back n forth.n we got so uncomfortable. One person saying one thing n another saying another. I strongly believe hes abt the money.period.so the trick is ,he pushes u around n around n u end up spending more. .

Rude, unreasonably expensive, inefficient, useless. If you want to get a real result, just take a bit off the SLO county. There is more competition and you get qualified help for less money.
