He is the worst unprofessional doctor I have ever had the displeasure meeting. He can't even call back to go over test results. What a coward do not go here. read more

Where to begin, ? The staff here is exceptional and made me feel so comforted during the tough journey. They were extremely responsive right away and everyone is so kind and caring. Do not feel bad to ask any questions. I went through IVF and it worked the first time and they gave proper guidelines and schedules and calendars, so it is easy to manage all the medication. read more

Dr Steinleitner was great. No nonsense upfront about everything. We are beyond blessed to be on week 35 of our pregnancy. He stays on top of all of the newest technology to help you start your family. We have recommended his services to many friends and family. Thank you for everything to him and his whole staff. read more

Alex Steinleitner MD - 3D photo at 28 weeks - Fertility Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

My wife and I went to speak with Dr. Steinleitner and from the moment we met him we knew we were in good hands. Due to my age the Dr. was straight to the point, didn't sugarcoat anything and told us exactly what needed to be done, how much and when. Everyone at his office was great, helpful and always answered any questions we had. After having surgery to remove fibroids and working with Dr. Steinleitner and his amazing staff my wife and I are happy to say we will be mamas to our little girl in March 2023. We are so happy and thankful to the Dr. and his staff that if all goes well with our delivery and my body can handle it we will be ready to work on baby #2 as soon as we get the OK from Dr. Steinleitner. read more

Alex Steinleitner MD - Fertility Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Run. Save your self and your money! This doctor put me through two "failed" rounds of very expensive meds and charged for visits and ultrasounds on top of his up front fee. He sat me down in his WAITING ROOM AREA to tell me he used all his tricks and I was a lost cause, that I needed to lose weight, that it was my fault the rounds failed, that I had PCOS (which I don't), that even if I did lose weight my eggs would be bad. He made matters worse by telling me that I "look like a nice person who plenty of people would want to donate eggs to" and then proceeded to tell me to use my daughter in laws eggs since they just had a child, (I was 18 when I had him, I am now 40) my son is 21. All of this was in his waiting room! No privacy AND he never allowed my partner to be present. I was alone when he said these things to me. I cried, no, I bawled my eyes out and felt utterly crushed. His words left emotional damage. I thankfully was in a support group for IVF over 40 and they all encouraged me to get a second opinion. That second opinion led me to a phenomenal doctor that was able to effortlessly retrieve 20 mature eggs, which 18 fertilized, then 13 made it to blasts, and we have two perfectly healthy embryo babies on ice as I type this. All while my supportive partner got to be by my side! Turns out it wasn't me, it was the inept doctor with horrific bedside manner. Please go somewhere else. If he tells you to use donor eggs, or that you have PCOS go get a second opinion! Don't give up! There are more effective and kind doctors out there. read more

WARNING! If you don't mind being just a dollar sign and perfectly okay with 0 communication... try your luck here. Its been 5 months and I still get upset when asked how did IVF go. I reply it was a money pit and the staff, horrible. Their service and treatment threw me into depression and debt. Still on the fence if we should proceed legally but till then I've finally decided to tell you all how it really is. When you bring the staff's actions to Alex, he acts like he is oblivious. He knows exactly how they act because he is the ring master. Not only does staff mis communicate to the point it made it so confusing and cost us more out of pocket, they, to your face, say they never said that. Well you know what? I have each of you on recording. Once I mentioned this, magically their stories began to connect. Accounting dept... oh holy hell. She is not able to send an invoice of all you are being charged and once she does, adds $1,000 to it. I have you on recording stating it was $4050. Your invoice says $5,050. Do you know its illegal to price gouge? On top her attitude is A+ ***hole. Then I respectfully cancelled after my 1st round. There was another $1,000 charged for Alex to view ultrasounds. He only came into 1 ultrasound to give me bad news, where in the heck did he "review" 4 other ultrasounds for $250 each? Your ultrasound tech told me she is new and the equipment is old. She said that machine doesn't even have picture capabilities. So tell me.... how did he "review" the ultrasound? DO NOT GO HERE! read more

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 and friendly 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. 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. read more

having my healthy baby boy on Aug 07, 2022 and my experience with doctor and his team was awesome.

He tried to rip me off with medicine I never took because he scheduled it during a vacation I was on. Bottom line, I tried to file a complain with the medical board and they finally removed my bill. His office manager hung up on me. I cannot believe she did that, never in my experience of 5 IVF clinics has anyone ever been so rude. Go to Dr. Allen in Santa Barbara or even better go see Dr. Hubert in Thousand Oaks. read more

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! read more

Alex Steinleitner MD - Egg Retrieval time! - Fertility Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

times have been hard with continuous bad news. i'm 25 and recently was diagnosed with cancer. finding out my cancer treatment might leave me infertile, freezing my eggs in the beginning of a global epidemic became my first priority. starting off with a facetime consultation and ended with surgery, dr steinleitner successfully did the entire process within two weeks. the office was helpful with getting medication knowing this process was last minute and unexpected. also being VERY cautious of civic-19 and being in a in home lock down, they still were willing to work with me and my time crunch. successfully froze my eggs and ready to start treatment. thank you so much read more

We are now pregnant with our second IVF baby girl that Dr. Steinleitner and his team helped us conceive. He knows what he is doing. Each of my pregnancies were different and he quickly figured out that I needed a new protocol for our second. Trust his process, surrender to it, and it will work for you. We could not be more thrilled! read more

Dr. Alex Steinleitner is amazing- his office is so warm and welcoming and he really takes the time to talk to you on your level- I have a biology background so he was much more in depth then when he was talking to my engineer husband. its nice to have a doctor that can explain things in different ways so everyone can understand. and as i suffer from many medical issues he was always very compassionate and vent funny when he knew i needed to laugh. he also makes sure that his patients can get hold of him whenever they need by giving out his cell and having a instant message account for less urgent questions. read more

We have worked with four different doctors for fertility treatment and have managed to have one healthy child. We're still trying for a second one. Using Alex Steinleitner's office has been our only bad experience working with fertility specialists. He is arrogant (without good reason-his skillset is limited and he needs to refer you to others for some procedures), his staff is terrible at communication, and both staff and physician are in considerate of their patients. Find a competent and Caring doctor and you will feel supported and cared about through this challenging and emotional experience. Use Steinleitner and you will probably regret it. read more

Now I have received a mailed invoice today requesting payment that this office already received ! The same payment plus an additional $135 for the very very painful biopsy that was performed on 6/7/2018 but was of no benefit to me as the incompetent staff lost my sample therefore having nothing to test after having it sit in the office two weeks per my conversation with Stephanie waiting for a doctor to drive it to San Luis Obispo!! Not to mention the cost of the hormones that I had to pay and take the month prior to my biopsy in preparation for it. read more

See all

Our first IVF cycle was with Dr. Steinleitner and team just a few months ago, and from beginning to end, was an excellent experience. Dr Steinleitners bedside manner was excellent, and he made me feel at ease during what could have been a very stressful time. This is our first pregnancy and we are expecting Twins. I highly recommend this office, it was definitely worth the travel! Thank you, Dr S and Team! read more

My first cycle Dr.S and his Fresno office were very professional and on top of everything. However, for my 2nd and 3rd cycle they would not contact me until last minute to do lab work and my meds were also ordered last minute causing me to postpone cycles. His facility in San Luis Obispo where the retrieval's and transfers are completed is not what you would expect. The lobby is nice, but you get to the back and it's very basic. It was just an ugly cold room with a surgery table and an old sonogram machine. The anesthesiologist comes in sneezing drinking coffee as she gets your "cocktail" together and the semen sample is collected in a public bathroom outside the main office by the elevators. After all this you then wake up in a dark corner where the Dr is speaking to you while you are still under anesthesia because he doesn't have time to actually bring in your family member to explain the outcome of your surgery. The worst part of this experience was when I went in for a transfer procedure and before the surgery Dr. S explained I had 3 mature embryos and 1 embryo did not make it, but when I was there with my legs in the air he said sorry he read the chart wrong I only had 1 mature egg the others were no good. I realize people make mistakes, but hearing that made my heart drop! I asked to have a picture of my embryos and the nurse says oh no we don't have that technology. How can you have billboards from fresno to San Luis Obispo but you don't have up to date technology? If we hadn't already paid him our life savings upfront for his "special" plan for 4 cycles (non refundable) I would not have continued after the 1st red flag in my 2nd cycle. I felt trapped and I kept telling myself it's ok once I'm pregnant this will be over. However, unfortunately for us it did not work. I went to speak to Dr. S about our next steps for my last cycle and he suggested a different egg donor and again he felt confident I could get pregnant with the "right donor". So my option at this point is to loose out on my escrow acct money for the 4th cycle if we don't continue or pay another possible $15-20,000 to complete another cycle. I then asked if since my last 3 cycles failed if we did not want to continue if I could possibly use my prepaid money in my escrow acct to pay for the extra $1,000 procedure he requested be done the last cycle? He then flipped out on me saying no because that escrow money was from a special plan and they don't have a way to separate the money from the special plan. Also, since it was a special plan if he had charged me regular price I would actually in reality owe him $2,000. I asked him to explain then why the procedure was done because I had asked for it originally not to be done. He couldn't explain it to me and his only response was he does 10 surgeries a day and doesn't have time to review a patients file to see what they do and do not want. This response from him explains why he got my embryo information wrong on the transfer. After all is said and done it is what it is and unfortunately those of us who struggle with infertility are easy prey. I hope my review can possibly help someone else not go through what my family and I went through with this Dr. I rather loose out on my last cycle money then to ever see this man again in my life. Also, read his contract very thoroughly and if possible have a lawyer review the indemnity clause and make sure you understand what that means. Good luck! read more

I did not actually visit this office but I just had a bad experience with a member of the staff. In front of the office, there are parking spots for the public and a 30 minute only parking spot. There was a small space in the public 24 hour spot so I simply pulled my car in to see if I could fit and went outside of my car to make sure that I wasn't in the 30 minute zone. While checking my car one of the members of the staff, probably a receptionist, goes out of their way to tell me I can't park their and threatens that I will be towed. I understand this and that is why I went out of the way to check my car and decide to move it. I did not deserve the snarky comment and threat. This lady has made me upset and she should be more careful with how she represents her business. read more

Here are some examples of experiences I had with Dr. Steinleitner and his practice. You can decide if this is the type of care you want... 1. I received a vaginal ultrasound in a supply room (e.g., red solo cups on the floor, paper reams on the shelves) with the door cracked because it wouldn't shut all the way. There was no room for a nurse or my husband to be present. 2. Your medication will come from overseas (I think Turkey) - medication requiring refrigeration will not be packaged correctly (wrapped in black electrical tape in the shape of a brick) and therefore will arrive unrefrigerated. You'll be told not to worry, just put it in the fridge. On a separate note, one of the medications I was prescribed was recalled in the U.S. in 2015 for lack of potency... and there remains outstanding class action lawsuits against the company. 3. The office did not order me enough medication, so I was provided with the name and phone number of a different patient who had extra medication. I drove to her house in Santa Maria to purchase the medication I needed to complete m cycle. She told me I was he second patient in two days they sent to her. *HIPPA violation 4. My final phone conversation with his accountant ended with her saying "just pay us the money so you never have to hear from us again." She could not articulate over the phone exactly what my bill was for... 5. I have shown up for appointments, to arrive and be told "sorry, the doctor is not in the office today... he is in the Fresno office." 6. I routinely witnessed the nurse give medication instructions to other patients in the lobby. *HIPPA violation. 7. I was given protocol that I sincerely believe was in the best interest of his practice to get women in "cohorts" rather than what was in my best interest. For example, I was given some "medical reason" why I shouldn't do a fresh transfer despite the medical research suggesting otherwise. I was given only limited testing to diagnose my infertility. A subsequent doctor did further testing and well.... Now that I am at a different practice, the difference in care is night and day. And this list is just a taste... I ignored all the red flags and told myself "he's close, he's convenient, and he's inexpensive". The lack of professionalism and incompetence across the board at this practice is appalling. read more

Dr. Steinleitner and all of his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They know this "is an emotional journey as well as a physical one". At times all of the meds and appointments can get confusing and overwhelming but this office uses a app to help you keep track. They do a lot of in office testing to save you time and went out of the way to save us money on prescriptions. I couldn't be more happy with them. read more

We are still in awe that after nearly 2 years of trying, we found success so quickly with Dr. Steinleiter! It's been less than 5 months, and we're already well into our 1st trimester. We can't thank Dr. Steinleitner enough for his expertise and insight in diagnosing the issue and offering a range of treatment options and prices for us to choose from. His staff was caring and responsive, and the mobile app made it easy and fast to interact with both the Dr. and staff. We should've come to Dr. S. sooner! read more

This Dr is only in this field for money only!! If there was a place to put zero stars I would have gave him a fat zero! Ladies if your serious about having a baby don't come here! Yes the price is good but there are plenty of Drs in the Los Angeles area that are just as good and also have good prices ! I am someone who doesn't have a infertility issue I have a tubal ligation and thought it would be easier to have a ivf since its less invasive after going to my consultation with Dr.S I found not only is he a good liar but his number one intention is to get as much money out of you as possible. I have 3 beautiful boys and I've never had issues getting pregnant or carrying achild he gave us a 95 percent chance of getting pregnant our first cycle with him was 2 embryo fresh 5 day blastocyst transfere and ended in a chemical pregnancy . we had what i thought was 4 frozen and some how turned out to only have one when we decided to do a FET(FROZEN EMBROY TRANSFER) Never did we get any calls or communication from the embryologist and when I reached out to him he was brief and short to where it left me still with many questions. Still i don't have answers. So anyways after we did the FET we finally got pregnant again and ended in miscarriage once again! Theres no remorse from the doctor he just wants to know when we can set up another cycle. You won't see him but when he does the procedure he relys on his co works most only being able to do ultrasounds ,They arent NPs or doctors.. I feel failed and cheated after over 20 thousand with nothing but heart ache to show for! Please don't go threw the heart ache I did this guy has only one agenda thats to see how many time he can get you to do cycles and make as much as it would cost to go to a true endocrinologist, not to help couples get pregnant.. I'm proof he has no other agenda but that because I only have one issue and that's being fixed. I really hope that this helps someone from feeling broken like me! Don't waste your time on someone so horrible to women like him .. Hes heartless and will try to act confident and act at first like he cares but the longer you have him as your doctor the more comfortable he feels to have a horrible bed side manner! Never again will I go back there . I recommend Dr. Bonni in Los Angeles he has a 5 star rating and reasonable in prices. read more

My daughter and I just traveled four hours to meet Dr. Steinleitner and his staff. We had no idea what to expect after seeing other physicians and leaving without answers. Dr. Steinleitner and his staff were different, they shared compassion and sympathy and they listened. I have never left a doctors office where the staff made you feel like family from the first visit. The dedication Dr. Steinleitner and his staff are putting forward is truly God sent. Their sacrifices to see that others needs are met are incredible. My daughter left her appointment having questions answered and feeling positive. I'm so blessed we found such a humble doctor. read more

Fresno location is the best. Dr. A Steinleitner was amazing. My daughter was born this past May.

Condescending. Poor bedside manner. You'd think someone who specializes in such a sensitive area of medicine would have more compassion, but apparently being the only reproductive endocrinologist in the county means he doesn't have to bother. Well, you've lost my business. I'll drive to one of the bigger cities where I will find a physician that will treat me with respect, empathy, and dignity. read more

Well, he helped us get pregnant otherwise 1 star is appropriate. He has terrible bedside manners. He had the ability to make someone 6'4" feel about one inch tall. Yes, In case you didn't know... The world revolves around Alex Steinleitner and he makes sure you know it read more

Dr. Steinleitner was the most unprofessional doctor I have ever encountered. I did feel that he was knowledgeable and diagnostically was good, but never before have I experienced panic attacks as I did when I was seeing him. He is not okay with the patient asking questions and seems to want you to do what he says with minimal explanation. I am used to the idea that this is my body and my money and the doctor works for me. While I value a doctor's expertise I expect them to tell me the pros and cons and ultimately leave a decision as to what to do to proceed up to me. Dr. Steinleitner clearly does not have this perspective. He threw things at me in anger, screamed at me, berated me for calling him on his cell phone (only 3 times in two years), and treated me with disregard. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy. read more

Run, don't walk, to any other fertility doctor! His office staff is very rude, unprofessional, and incompetent. The only reason he has patients is because he is the only fertility doctor in the area. I read negative Yelp reviews and spoke to some of his former patients before going. I was forewarned by many. I noted several red flags along the way, but knew he was the only choice in the area. Spare yourself money, time, frustration, and overall health. Go elsewhere. read more

I have only had good experiences with Dr. Steinleitner and his staff. He was very thorough with his testing and helped us get pregnant with a baby via IVF. I had my baby girl last May. I recently got pregnant naturally (surprise to us all) and unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I went directly to Dr. Steinleitner and he took good care of me during an emotional time. We plan to go through another frozen embryo transfer in the near future with this facility. Infertility is an emotional roller coaster. I'm happy that we had the experience with this doctor. read more

Called made my appointment he ask if I had insurance I said yes after giving him my information he stated my first visit was going to be conver. All excited I made my appointment I was only there for 15 min after that he requested more information from my last pregnancy and I was told I would get a call back but I didn't!!...And to make it worse I got a bill saying it was not cover by my insurance a pre- authorization was needed and it was not done and I was left with a bill of $300.00.. when you're excited you get to trust people and I did a big mistake. read more

I absolutely loved this clinic and the doctor. He is down to earth and sits with you to go over things personally. I had tested out other clinics before I found Dr. Steinleitner. I was very pleased with most everything in my IVF journey at this clinic. Most IVF clinics are a one price fits all and I don't agree with that, we each have separate needs in this journey. His staff was super friendly and it felt like everyone knew us personally. They are so helpful with every step and the pharmacy they use is equally as helpful and nice. I have been recommending this clinic since I started there (I have since been turned over to my OB). My only issue was my coordinator, I had to keep reminding her of things that needed to be done, almost missed my meds cause she forgot to input the doctors order BUT her supervisor was on top of things. She didn't miss a beat and picked up her slack so it wasn't a major issue. I HIGHLY recommend this clinic!!! read more

Don't know what these people are talking about, Dr Steinleitner has been great with my husband and I. He is very professional and truly has taken the time to get to know us and genuinely cares about our situation. My husband and I have been looking for answers for a very long time and are so relieved that we have finally found someone who can give those to us. He works around my cycle which was very surprising even coming in on a weekend to do my procedure because he didn't want to miss my window, so if that is not a good dr. What is. I think any other dr would have dismissed the opportunity and waited for the following month. I must say I was a little frustrated that I was not conceiving as fast as I wanted but with only a 5% chance he truly made miracles happen! We are pregnant and I would recommend him to anyone!! He has a great staff, always friendly and very caring!!! Already planning to use him for our second pregnancy:) read more

Dr. Steinleitner is such an amazing and caring man with a great way of making you feel comfortable. He is funny but serious when needed. He is knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything he is doing. The two ladies in the front office are amazing. They make me feel like I am chatting with a couple of long time friends whenever I'm talking to them. His medical assistants are awesome. I am so blessed to have these people in my life and am confident that I am finally on the right path with my medical care. read more

This is the 2nd pregnancy in which I've seen Dr. Steinlietner and I always leave his practice with a positive experience. Dr. Steinlitner is upfront and honest about treatment and options, and has always been mindful of expense of fertility treatments. He is definitely not one to try more than necessary treatments to achieve pregnancy, which I very much appreciate. He is conscientious, available (love the app!), and very intelligent! I appreciate that Dr. Steinlietner will address issues that are uncomfortable to address, but in a delicate way. His office staff and medical staff were nothing but, kind, supportive and helpful. I very much appreciate this office and what Dr. Steinlietner has done for my family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking at fertility options. read more

I feel as though Dr. Steinleitner & staff have become a part of our family. I can't truly put into words how I feel. This journey is confusing, exhausting, very expensive and wonderful all at the same time. You have to be patient and realistic if you decide to do IVF. That is what connected us with the doctor right away. He did not blow smoke. He is honest yet always compassionate. He always educated us on what and why we were doing that we were doing. We just happened to be on a schedule at the same time as they were going through some changes themselves. Moving offices, opening a new surgical center and hiring new staff. This is not a business where you can just shut down until everything is running smoothly. They kept business as usual and every visit we felt welcomed and not rushed. Dr. Steinleitner is hands down the most dedicated doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. If there ever was confusion or apprehension on my part, he or my amazing patient coordinator would personally call me. It didn't matter if it was an early morning, night or the weekend. I always got an answer. Being able to trust a doctor is priceless. We had one failed transfer and now we are successfully 10 weeks pregnant. When we felt like we were losing hope, he would reel us back and here we are! Thank you Central Coast Fertility for everything! read more

Alex Steinleitner. When I met him I knew that God sent me his way for a reason. I was completely blown away when I met him. Before Alex, I had always been thrown on the back burner by many doctors. Was never given answers.... never even given a chance to ask questions. The day I met him he spent an hour and a half with me just talking. He wanted to know my story and wanted me to tell it in my own words... after that he wanted me to ask him questions and tell him my thoughts. For the first time ever I felt like some one cared about me. Alex talked to me about my infertility and explained to me he was certain he would find the reason for my fertility.... even if it was the death of him. Then in the end he talked to me about having faith and acceptance. Something a doctor had never even came close to talking to me about. When he got emotional it was then I realized.... this man TRULY cared.... and he does! After that I found out that he had been working and traveling 7 days a week just to help women like me. Researching and constantly staying up to date on the newest studies. I knew that HE was the one who would give me my baby... he would be the one to start our family. Thank you Dr. Alex. For you have been a blessing to our family. read more

I know there are mixed reviews on here about Dr. S but I am here to tell you he works ACTUAL MIRACLES. He is an amazing doctor. He does not treat you like a cookie cutter case. Every patient is an individual and you can tell he cares. He wants you to get pregnant too! I never felt like a number in his office. His office staff knew my name and I was always greeted with a "hi mia!" When I walked in from Roman. (This means A LOT) After running many tests on us he thought he'd figured out our fertility issues. I've done a lot of research and been in a lot of infertility groups and he is doing cutting edge things. He wants to figure out what's going on before having you spend thousands of dollars on IVF treatments. Ive read of people going through the entire process only to find out they had another issue their doctor didn't even address initially, he is thorough from the start. Anyways, after our first egg retrieval he discovered my eggs are different then normal eggs (like he has only seen a couple eggs like mine in his 30+ years). I made no embryos. He didn't give up. He tried new protocols, new medications, worked hard for me. He always messaged me back promptly. After our second round of IVF I made FIVE genetically normal embryos (miracles, seriously) and am now 29 weeks with our daughter. I am FOREVER grateful for Dr. S and his staff for making our dreams come true and performing down right miracles. read more

Dr. Steinleitner was amazing! He has a great bedside manner and genuinely wants to help you. He has a great staff as well. We could not be happier with the process. It is not easy, and yes it is expensive. You must be patient, this does not work for everyone, it took two tries for us to get our little boy, but was worth every penny. read more

I believe that selecting your infertility medical staff needs an honest review to base your opinion on. I saw Dr. Steinlietner from September 2017 to September 2018. During that time, I was repeatedly appalled at how incompetent the doctor and his staff were. I'm talking everything from 2-3 hour wait times, to mis-scheduled appointments, to the doctor performing a $1500+ test incorrectly to void the results. This doesn't even begin to touch on the fact that everything is a two month wait.. The doctor will try to convince you that your body needs that amount of time between treatments. Let me tell you the truth: it's simply to fit into his too-full schedule. The reason that his schedule is overbooked is simple: he treats you like a number and only wants your money. His goals do not align with your goals. Run fast and far away from this practice. Love yourself during this tough time in your life to seek better medical staff. After 12 months with Dr. Steinlietner, I was successful with Dr. Allan in Santa Barbara within one treatment cycle. The difference in care was amazing, and allowed us to achieve our goal. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. He was very professional, informative and patient. His staff, especially his nurse, Debbie, were amazing. I can't even express how grateful I am to have had him as my doctor and I couldn't recommend enough! read more
