SIMPLY THE BEST. the journey through fertility is daunting and very emotional. Dr. Alexander walks you through it with her expertise. She has a calm, collected and "matter of fact" approach. You can see her think a million miles a minute, adjusting protocols to individualize your care, which I appreciated soo much because she doesn't just look at you as a number, but takes your case as a whole and gIves it serious thought. After 1.5years of trying to get pregnant and failing at it (who thought it would be so hard?) , I contacted Dr Alexander. I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility, possibly silent endometriosis. Her team is very responsive, always responding to my phone calls/emails. the clinic is open at 7 AM which allowed me to get in before work for my appts, making the whole experience less stressful. For my own piece of mind, I went to 2 other clinics for a second opinion, but I circled right back to Dr. Alexander for a number of reasons; mainly because she's thorough, up-to-date on all things relating to fertility and she works at a huge facility that has a state of the art embryology lab (which is very important! If you do IVF). lastly and perhaps most importantly, she got me pregnant with just one round of IVF. I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant while I write this review. I couldn't recommend her/ her team/ or scrc enough. They are truly the Ferrari of fertility clinics in LA. read more

We have been seeing Dr. Alexander since 2019. She has helped us welcome 2 incredible little boys via IVF and - besides being brilliant and going above and beyond for her patients - has always treated us with the utmost kindness and compassion. She is brilliant, stays up to date on research, really listens to her patients and works WITH them so they feel good about next steps - and her team is incredibly supportive. We count ourselves very lucky to have found her during our difficult fertility journey - she is the real deal! read more

I could not recommend Dr. Alexander more highly. She is kind, attentive, thoughtful, detail oriented, and very gentle. She is an absolutely brilliant physician and her team is driven by the most recent cutting-edge medical recommendations and evidence-based medicine. Her team constantly checks in with you during the IVF process, reviewing medications, doses, your lab results and ultrasound results, and your personal calendar. The office has early office hours, which I found particularly helpful, so I could go at 6:30 or 7am, get an ultrasound and labs, and then Dr. Alexandar would call me several hours later to discuss results in next steps. I have worked with her since 2017, and over the last several years we have had two successful rounds of IVF and two babies. She has helped our family to grow, and I know I will never be able to truly thank her for helping me become a mother. I am a physician myself, and I recommend my patients to Dr. Alexander because she is the most likely to send them back pregnant. I couldn't recommend her more highly. SCRC is a beautiful facility, and they have a respectful, organized, and polished staff. They also took excellent care and precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic. I will caution you that having IVF seems intimidating, and the price tag at SCRC is not inexpensive. However, it is completely worth it. If you do IVF, you want to do it well and you only want to do it once. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! I will forever be grateful to Dr. Alexander and the wonderful team at SCRC. read more

When entrusting my care in a doctor there are 3 important factors for me to consider: -Practice is drive by the most Up to Date research and data. -Experience in the field helps guide their decision making process. -Trust. The ivf process itself is a stressful time and you need to feel confident in the decisions. I didn't have the emotional bandwidth to second guess decisions and with Dr. Alexander I never felt the need. I truly felt the care and decisions she made for my family I were those she would make to her own. read more

Agree with all that is said about the billing being an issue. To me, this office seems to me like it would be difficult to serve middle class/lower upper class people who can't pay out of pocket, from my last experience trying to schedule. Dr. Alexander is really cool and calm and has great bedside manner as others note. She was easy to talk to and obviously smart. She had no issues tooting her own horn a bit but hey-whatever-she is smart and I don't fault her for that. It may have been a bit more of that than I'm used to with other physicians I've been to. But I digress. I loved how approachable she was and so well spoken. She was thorough with me. I've since been treated with 4 other docs for the same issues and it was a little unusual to me how many tests she ordered for my bloodwork which have never been ordered by anyone else but I can't say for sure If she was heavy handed because I'm not a doctor. I just invested a lot of time initially for labs and fasting for 4 hours while waiting for more labs etc. The only real issues though came with billing. I wasn't given the option to bill any insurance when I called later on to reconnect after a bit of time away as her patient and was told she was cash only for services. Her staff made it very clear to me that since she's the best, they didn't take any insurance because people wealthy enough (and who want children badly enough), will pay, and she would only accept cash. They didn't use the exact words but implied it when I told them I couldn't pay cash. It really rubbed me the wrong way trying to schedule later on because it didn't seem to me like they cared about helping people truly when they won't accept insurance or if you make it really hard for people to use their insurance. Dr. Alexander seems perfectly pleasant but someone who is out of reach for those of us normal people to see. Hopefully her policy has changed since this. read more

Dr. Alexander is an extraordinarily talented doctor with a huge heart. I had seen and worked with several other fertility doctors but none of them cared the way she does. The fertility journey is emotional and I felt supported by her throughout the process. She explained things clearly and delivered on everything she set out to do. I can't imagine my life without my beautiful baby girl. My husband and I are very grateful to Dr. Alexander. She is fantastic! read more

Carolyn Alexander, MD - Fertility Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

This is a very long overdue review! We are sooooooo blessed to have met Dr. Alexander. We've been struggling with infertility for 8 years prior to meeting her. I was hesitant at first, or in denial of the idea of going through IVF. We told her about our history and struggles. She was very informative and she knew I was a difficult case. One thing stood out for me and I will never forget. After doing an ultrasound, she talked to me, told me she will do everything in her powers, and be aware that the journey won't be an easy one base on my medical history. All I asked her was, " As long as you are not telling me, I cannot get pregnant, then lets do this one try on IVF" Dr Alexander and her team are amazing!!! We miss them a lot and we still keep in touch! Sending them pics of our FIRST BABY through IVF on our first try. Dr Alexander MADE IT HAPPEN!! SHE IS AMAZING! TRULY THANKFUL, GRATEFUL AND BLESSED TO HAVE HER IN OUR LIFE! With grateful hearts, Ray, Lea & Ulan Liam read more

Dr Alexander is amazing! She's super smart, awesome at what she does and she truly cares about her patients. Thanks to her we have a beautiful baby girl and we're so grateful for the care she put into helping us get pregnant! I recommend her without reservations. read more

Md Alexander is one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable physicians I know . I am beyond blessed to have embarked on my journey to becoming pregnant with her guidance. She is an expert in her field and informed about the latest developments in fertility treatment. She will give you her absolute honest option about what is best for you . Words can't express how thankful I am to her and her staff . Physicians like Md A are hard to come by . I highly recommend her and the SCRC team. read more

She is by far the nicest, sweetest, and caring doctor that you will ever meet. From the day we met her, we were locked in by her spirit alone. She is so knowledgeable and open about the entire process. She takes her role in your journey to heart and won't make a move unless she is sure everything will yield results. She personally cares about each of her patients and you feel it everytime you interact with her. SCRC feels like home, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable and taken care of. The staff is phenomenal and attentive. The office is gorgeous by the way! read more

Dr Alexander is one of the most compassionate and caring doctors we have ever met. She approaches her practice not only with true expertise and passion, but also a personal attention to every patient and their specific needs. She is kind and gentle - a shining light and positive force during what can be a very emotional and at times challenging process. My wife and I could not recommend her more. She is thee absolute best! read more

Dr. Alexander has to be one of the most positive and uplifting people I know. She always says there is one good egg and we just have to find it, and she did for us! One of her mantras is "choose hope" and that has given me so much confidence and peace throughout my IVF and FET journey with her. There is no other doctor I would trust with this very challenging experience. It is hard on so many levels: emotionally, physically, mentally, as well as financially. But throughout it all she was my rock and lighthouse of hope and understanding. She is not only approachable and has an amazing bedside manner she stays connected and in touch with her patients and you never feel alone. She has even called me in the evenings to help calm my fears and give me reassurance that all is well. We have struggled so hard to be able to build the family we have hoped for. We have suffered tragic losses and have had some happy wins (only achieved through years and years of meticulous trying) But after my last miscarriage we made the decision to finally give IVF a try. It was really hard for me to humble myself to make that decision but I am so glad we did and that we chose Dr. Alexander. Through her thorough care I learned a lot about my fertility and my health. She made sure that each step of the way would lead to a successful end and sometimes that takes time. But we made it and I am now pregnant at the age of 39 and will deliver our little boy when I am 40! Thank you Dr. Alexander for helping us get our rainbow baby and being there for us. You truly love and have empathy for all your patients and that does not go unnoticed! #choosehope read more

See all

I started seeing Dr. Carolyn Alexander after about a year of trying to get pregnant. First off, she's incredibly sweet and extremely knowledgeable. She made a detailed plan for me and her staff has been in contact with me on how to follow through with the instructions. Also, Dr. Alexander has been in contact with me even after my visit, to guide me along my pregnancy journey. That is very reassuring for me and makes me so happy that I've chosen her as my doctor for this sensitive issue. I was referred to her by many happy patients that have had much success in the past, and I'm confident I'll have the same experience. Thank you Doc! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Alexander and how amazing she is. I have been on my fertility journey with Dr. Alexander since 2014 starting with egg freezing and then did my first round of IVF in 2020. We just had our first baby in Feb 2021. Dr. Alexander has been a huge support both with her knowledge/expertise but also with her kindness and constant gratitude. Her ability to be presented with a challenge and then identify how to overcome roadblocks always gave me hope and I knew we'd end up with the one thing we always wanted which was a healthy baby! I have SO much gratitude for Dr. Alexander and her whole team, everyone in that office was amazing to us and we appreciate all they do create families! Thank you Dr. A! M read more

This review is overdue, but better late than never. If you want to go to a large, successful IVF center with a well known lab, but still have a very personal and down-to-earth experience--see Dr. Alexander. She is smart, articulate, current on research, but also open to your input and ideas for your treatment. But equally important, she is a lovely human being with a huge heart--and trust me, with infertility, that compassion goes a long, long way. Sometimes the news isn't great, but Dr Alexander will be honest and real with you without it ever feeling cold or "clinical". She cares about her patients in a way that so few doctors have the time or energy to do these days. She's approachable and reachable. She's positive, but will not sugarcoat if you need the facts. Go meet her yourself-- you won't be disappointed. read more

Dr. Alexander's confidence and expertise in the field of infertility put both my partner and me at ease when going through this uncertain, often scary process. She made us feel that our dreams of becoming parents were a possibility. Two miracle babies later, we happily endorse Dr. Alexander and her wonderful team. read more

I'm so happy I found Dr Alexander. She is honestly the best fertility doctor here in LA. She is smart, on top of the current research and (at least from my experience) cares about her patients. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and problems, and only offers up the best treatments she herself would want if she were in your position.... I have had two miscarriages - one at 39 years old and the other at 40 years old - and Dr Alexander came up with the right meds needed to help me get where I am today - pregnant at 41 years old! read more

Dr. Alexander worked with us (an LGBTQ+ couple) tirelessly for years until we had a healthy baby. She was always absolutely up to date on fertility research and publications, and creative in the ways she troubleshot and problem solved. She paid meticulous attention to detail, creating very custom plans for us and continually dialing the knobs. She was also available to us whenever we needed her, and compassionate throughout the journey. Grateful to her and her staff for supporting us through a challenging time and helping us start our family. read more

***I DID NOT SEE THE DR. BUT HAVE INFO ABOUT FEES YOU MIGHT NEED*** **Office Charges 2 fees: Dr. Fee + 2nd facility Fee - Details below** Basically, this isn't a standard practice in an office building, instead it's in an outpatient hospital, and they charge a fee for both the doctor's visit and a second "facility" fee, regardless of if you need hospital services or not. The staff at this office was professional and polite, however I wish they'd informed me of this unique extra fee when I'd made the appointment. Instead, I was informed after filling out over 10 pages of paperwork at home and driving in morning rush hour to my appointment. I was referred to Dr. Alexander by another Cedars Dr., and made the appt. b/c she's in my PPO insurance network, making my co-pay only $25. However, once I learned of the Facility Fee, I checked with my insurance. And as I suspected, the facility fee would go against my high deductible, ergo I'd have to pay it all myself. With this info, I cancelled the appointment and walked out the door. The "cash price" for this fee is $375. The price they were going to bill my insurance is, I was told, "much higher." I have health insurance that I pay 3.6K a year for out of pocket for and still I have a 1.5K deductible. It's not a "Cadillac" plan and I've learned that unless proactively question every possible charge, I'm on the hook. That 5 minute call saved me probably $1,000 dollars. That works out to 12K an hour. Yes, my time is worth that much. There are other Drs. in network I can see instead. To be clear, I did not need any services pertaining to an out-patient hospital visit. I was there simply for a consultation. So in my particular case, paying an extra facility fee was unnecessary to the point of being absurd. In a different medical situation, that may not be the case. This is such a classic example of why our nation's health care costs are so out of control. I'm sure there any many with low deductible insurance plans who wouldn't have thought twice about letting insurance pick up this unnecessary expense... which only leads to higher premiums for us all.

Dr. Alexander is the absolute best. I LOVE this woman. She is the sweetest, most caring person/doctor on the planet. Our IVF journey was extremely stressful and too long of a story to tell. But in the end, I have been blessed with two beautiful and healthy children. Because of Dr. Alexander, I have my two little miracles. She truly cares about her patients and I thank my lucky stars every day that I found her and helped my husband and I grow our family. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Alexander's for a few months now, and she is is amazing. She truly cares about her patient, which is evident by her checking in with you throughout a cycle, and otherwise treating you like a human being (as opposed to just another number). In addition, she stays current on all of the latest research regarding IF. She is affectionately known within the OB-Gyn communty as "The PCOS Queen," and that she is. Her support staff is always very kind and accommodating. My phone calls are always promptly returned, and everyone is on the same page regarding my treatment plan. read more

I went to my first appointment this week with Dr. Alexander and it was a pleasure. After being given the option of surgery from another Doctor for a medical issue I have, my close friend referred me to Dr. Alexander for a second opinion. The Clinic seems to be specific to Fertility, but Dr. Alexander is an OBGYN so she can help with issues outside of just fertility that deal with women's health. I was hoping and praying that there were other options besides going straight to surgery with a LONG recovery time and turns out there are. All I can say is....."What a Relief!" Dr. Alexander walked me through so much information, was easy to talk to and just a really nice person I feel I can trust with my health. I got to see in person results as we talked about my situation. It felt amazing instead of feeling in the dark and trusting the Dr. reading the results after a test I paid LOTS of money for. She gave me step by step details on what happens next and I feel confident instead of fearful as I had before as I reach out to schedule some other appointments and see what works best for my specific situation. The new Patient Coordinator Dominika was also so helpful I felt I needed to give her specifically a shout out. She made me feel so cared for while I went through the process of making appointments, emailing new patient forms and even parking! Also, the Front Desk staff are really nice along with the nurses and everything is in one place. They can do many different tests etc. instead of having to go to different locations and appointments. All this to say.....5 stars was easy to mark. read more

I absolutely love her and her team. After struggling with infertility for 3 years, she and her team got me pregnant. I'm expecting my rainbow baby. Their care is like no other. I never felt like a number, I felt like family. I will be back for baby #2 one day. I wouldn't trust my care with anyone else. read more

I recently graduated from working with Dr. Alexander and cannot fully explain what an amazing person and reproductive endocrinologist she is in words alone. She is genuine with a terrific bedside manner and she just oozes the "we're a team in this process" attitude. I was a difficult case with Hypothyroidism, PCOS, Endometriosis and T1 Diabetes (lucky me) and she constantly worked with me and my other physicians to figure out how to optimize our chances of conception. She checked on me constantly during cycles, called the minute any test results were in and was always interested in talking through all available treatment and testing options to ensure we had all our bases covered, including referrals to specialists for extra testing when she thought the results may impact our treatment options. I'm thrilled to report that I'm currently pregnant. Leaving Dr. Alexander is bittersweet but I plan to stay in touch and can't wait for our babe to meet the strong, smart and caring woman who helped to make this all possible. read more

Dr. Alexander is the sweetest kindest doctor who handled our IVF journey with so much care and consistency. She possesses an incredible bedside manner. You really feel her care and passion in helping us to conceive. She loves her job and that rolls over to her patients. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with infertility in a heartbeat. She is brilliant and incredibly knowledgeable in the field of reproductive endocronology. I'm thrilled to report that I'm currently pregnant with my first child at age 36. read more

I love doctor Alexander! She is so easy to talk to and is such an expert in her field. She gives talks in cedars and is so abreast with infertility and for me related to endocrinology issues. She is so quick to respond on emails and really cares for her patients. My husband couldn't make it for our appointment so she was so comfortable having him on speaker phone to join in. I wish she could deliver too I love her! read more

Dr. Alexander is awesome. The front office, however, is not. They say they take insurance, but if there's an issue, it's basically DIY, and the bureaucracy at Cedars Sinai is a nightmare. Also, if they tell you that they're going to look into an issue and call you back, they won't. Thank goodness I just got stuck with the bill for diagnostics. read more

Dr. Alexander saved my life, literally. For years no one really knew what was wrong with me and I got misdiagnosed all over the place until I read an article about Dr. Alexander and called for an appointment. She was so friendly and eager to solve me, all Dr. House style minus the grumpy. She's a delight and super professional. She was able to coordinate well with my other doctors and when I was ready to get pregnant she helped me have a successful pregnancy and birth. She's great for anyone with PCOS or anything like PCOS! She's also done some amazing work with the Transgender community and is just a lovely caring person. Check her out! read more

Working for Roxsan Pharmacy (fertility pharmacy), across the street, I had the pleasure of knowing and closely working with the physicians at SCRC. The one who stood out was Dr. Carolyn Alexander. She is super sweet, caring and above all very knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Alexander is by far the best Doctor I have ever seen. Her bedside manner is unlike any other. She got me sucessfully pregnant with my beautiful twin daughters, and followed up on with me until way after their birth and beyond. I wish she was an OB/GYN so she could have delivered my babies, I loved her that much. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for help with endocrinology or fertility problems. read more

I have been to a number of Fertility Specialists/Clinics (spent a lot of time in fancy Beverly HIlls Offices) and Dr. Alexander and her staff at Cedar's rise head and shoulders above the rest. She is incredibly smart, yet not at all condescending. Dr. Alexander cares deeply about what she does and I feel like a human being in her care, not just a number or a time slot. Everyone in the office, from the front desk staff to the nurses, make my visits to Dr. Alexander a drama free, supportive, and even enjoyable experience. read more

Dr. Alexander is an amazing doctor and a throwback to a bygone era! She sincerely cares about her patients! I began seeing her for PCOS but I also have a condition that sometimes causes me to hemorrhage uncontrollably. She has had to perform 3 surgeries on me (twice on an emergency basis). Because of this, she gave me her personal cell phone number! And she calls me periodically just to check in! She has left Cedars to go into private practice and I have every intention of following her! You could not ask for a better doctor! read more

I wish I could go to Dr. Alexander for all of my medical needs. She has a wonderful demeanor and is very knowledgeable about fertility issues. She supported me thru my challenges and beyond my successful pregnancy. I could not recommend her more highly. I found her staff to be very helpful and kind. read more

Dr. Alexander is one of the best doctors I have encountered. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she is also very caring. She works with me to understand complicated medical issues. She also called me on my cell one evening to make sure I was feeling O.K. in regard to the medical issues for which I saw her. Very few doctors do that. A+++ all the way. She takes her Hippocratic oath seriously and, more importantly, cares for her patients as not just "patients" but human beings. read more

I initially met with Dr. Ghadir who is wonderful by the way and detailed. Dr. Ghadir did my egg retrieval but Dr. Alexander did my embryo transfer which resulted in the pregnancy of my beautiful twins. I am fortunate to have a little girl and boy twins that will be turning two years old next month. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Dr. Alexander has amazing bedside manner and make me feel completely comfortable through this process. read more

I was referred to Dr.Alexander through an associate of my husband who is also a physician. I was impressed by Dr.Alexander's commitment to education and research and lectures around the globe. I am lucky to have found such a caring doctor as well. I am fortunate to live near her office, but I would travel from anywhere in the world to be treated by Dr.Alexander!!! She treated me with such kindness, that I felt like a friend was listening and understanding what I am going through. I can only say with all my heart that if you want to have the best infertility specialist, Dr.Alexander is truly amazing!!!!!!! read more

I love Dr. Alexander. She is double board certified and a total medicine badass but beyond that she is the kindest and most positive person. She goes above and beyond for her patients. I really trust her judgement and felt that she was with me in this hard process. Her team of nurses Valerie and Nathalie are amazing. Super shout out to them. They are with you every step of the way. Best nurses ever. The kindest team imaginable. read more

We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Carolyn Alexander. She was not the first RE that my husband and I saw, but she was by the far the best! After several heart breaking challenges in trying to conceive our second child, we went to Dr. Alexander. She was optimistic, encouraging, intelligent, thoughtful, and an overall joy to work with. We recently welcomed our daughter into this world on 2/21 and couldn't be happier. Dr. Alexander has been such a blessing to our family. read more

Dr. Alexander is the most personable and caring physician. I have seen many other physicians prior and they were cold and aloof. She has been tremendous in helping me with all my infertility needs. She has a way to make you feel at ease and comfortable. You will not find anyone better trained. I plan to send all my girlfriends to her. She truly is amazing. read more

I just have to give Dr. Alexander a glowing recommendation. I spoke to her yesterday and I love how personable she is. Truly heartwarming and I love her problem-solving approach. She definitely cares about her patient's health and wellness and it is very apparent. Highly recommended! read more
