We had 1 embryo and it stuck! We are now proud parents of a beautiful baby girl thanks to Dr Anderson and his wonderful staff. Dr. Anderson and his staff are the best around. So professional, kind, caring and invested in a successful outcome. Dr. Anderson and his staff are so knowledgable. They make you feel like family. You'll fall in love with Joan who does the ultrasounds. She makes you feel like one of her kids. Everyone from the front desk to the nurses are beyond fantastic. I can't say enough about Dr. Anderson, his technique, practice and intellect. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I have complete trust in him and his practice. read more

Long overdue. Saw him for a consult and then a first appt. He had an air of condescension and really didn't provide any clinically intelligent info. He showed us a couple slides of stats on his computer screen, did a quick pelvic screen, and then insulted my OBG who had advised that I had a kinked FT. Like, he literally dogged her. A Dr whom I was very impressed with and had taken exceptional care of me for several years. Well... he called me after his "results" came back (but it was too late - I already decided to move on) and he backed down unapologetically from letting me know that he was WRONG in his unfounded assumptions as to the clinical impression of my OBG. Needless to say.... many of the other negative reviews are SPOT ON and you should RUN! I went to RPMG w ofcs in LA/Redondo/Westminster and saw Dr Andy Huang. They are THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Do the research and you will concur. This is NOT a decision to take lightly as to whom your IVF clinicians should be. RPMG delivered a 12/10 experience and I have 2 beautiful children - zero hiccups w that group! THEY are first class. Anderson is the antithesis. read more

Dr. Anderson is a great doctor, and very professional. Dr. Anderson performed a laparoscopy on me, and I received excellent care. Following the procedure, I did one cycle of fertility treatments, including IUI, and got pregnant. I have been seeing him for the first trimester, and I have absolutely no complaints. They monitor you very closely, with an ultrasound and blood draw every week. He is an excellent doctor, and the office is readily available for appointments, to answer questions, etc. They are open starting at 6:30 am, 7 days a week, including holidays. read more

My son is 8 months now after our first and only IUI. We owe it all to Dr. Anderson. The staff is great and Dr. Anderson is very thorough with all the tests and follow up. I know people complain that appointments are quick, but I kind of liked them. With having to see them almost every other day for monitoring, I really liked his efficiency. I was in and out and back to work. My only complaint is that the lab they send you for the blood test is kind of questionable, my first results were so weird they I had to repeat it and so I had to pay again. read more

My daughter is now 15months old and I have yet to rate Doc Anderson. My Story: I was recommended to him by a friend. After two years of trying and being told by a OBGYN I have PCOS. I changed my diet (please note I am no where near over weight).Also my husband telling me nothing was wrong and had nothing to worry about. I finally got him to go with me to see Doc Anderson. Doc Anderson: People say he is a bit reserved. At this point I didn't want someone to be on my level and cry with me. I wanted someone to see me and get me pregnant.! It's a business, and you got to focus on the results. The Staff: Very nice staff. The first nurse that took my blood work looked me straight in the eyes and said "we are going to get you pregnant" okay okay I did break down with her bc I finally got my husband to say yes to IUI. Lastly the nurse practitioner first time meeting her said "let's do this" I was a bit taken off by this, but I was like your right lets do this! Treatment I did one round of IUI and a lot praying! I chose to do the shots over clomid. Better results. End of my story: I got pregnant first shot. This doesn't always happen and I say medicine and the power of prayer came together! My daughter is 15 months and it's a blessing. FYI: - they check your levels weekly, it's a little bit stressful wondering if your levels are increasing or not. Wondering am I still pregnant. - they record your ultra sounds every week so you can have a video of your baby :) read more

Dr. Anderson and every single member of his staff are amazing! The whole office is very organized and every single person is very accomodating. The office is nice and clean. Dr. Anderson is definitely great at what he does. First Time patient consultations are done in the afternoon and morning appointments are for current patients. They are even open for a few hours on Saturdays and Sundays so it makes it really convenient. They are detailed and always available to help no matter what! The whole process is super organized and easy to follow. read more

Robert E Anderson, MD - Lobby Area - Fertility Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I am a bit disappointed with how this facility is operated. The front desk staff is short in answers and sometimes has no empathy at all. Changing nurses everyday drawing blood mess with my vein. Not really communicative from Doctor especially for "poor responders" during stimulation phase. Overall disappointed. read more

This review is overdue but I cannot thank Dr. Anderson and his team for helping us start a family and making our dreams come true. I myself went through failed IVF cycles prior to seeing Dr. Anderson. I was told my chance of having a baby was slim to none by another doctor. Also, I've had 5 previous miscarriages and other fertility specialists could not determine why. But when I saw Dr. Anderson during our consultation, he fully reviewed my chart and was honest with my chances of having a baby. He also discovered why I kept having miscarriages as well. Basically, the previous IVF md did everything wrong and wasted my time and money (you can message me privately and I can tell you who to avoid). With one cycle- we were able to have our miracle baby. Dr. Anderson tailored my medication to me specifically and would call most of the time with dose changes. At my previous clinic- I rarely spoke to the doctor. I know there's a lot of negative reviews about Dr. Anderson. Sure, he's not all warm and fuzzy but I still thought he was caring and wanted the best outcome for his patients. He was readily available to answer my questions even late at night. Yes, he's very upfront and honest and I think it can come off rude to some people since it's not what they want to hear? What matters is that he is the best and most experienced fertility doctor and that's who you want to see. We are definitely coming back to see Dr. Anderson for baby #2. read more

Quite honestly, this was the worst experience I ever had with an infertility doctor. He pretty much told me to "hang it up" and (even though I was willing to have an egg donor or anything I needed to get to babies) and that it was unlikely to happen for me. When he was out of the office, his partner, Dr Duron saw me and it was a relief because he was very kind, nice and easy. No one knows what it's like to go through years of infertility. You're poked and prodded to death and have a vaginal exam every other day. Yep, it's no party. The least that Dr. Anderson owed me, as a Doctor who was taking thousands of dollars each month for all his "treatments", was a compassionate bedside manner. After years of going to him, I finally expressed my concerns to a friend who suggested that I go to another Doctor, who was a woman (she has since retired or I would list her name here) and thank God I did. She was kind and gave me what women going through this need- HOPE! I later had triplets with my new doctor and sent pics of them to Dr Anderson along with my thoughts. I doubt it changed his ways any. Ladies, you can do better than this. Having someone who is kind and has a decent bedside manner makes the whole process that much easier! You deserve it! read more

Highly recommend!!! This review is long overdue as my baby is almost 8 months old. After 6 years of trying, and going through 4 different fertility specialists, Dr. Anderson helped me get pregnant with my precious miracle baby. He is a no nonsense doc. Do not doubt his expertise because he may not be as warm and fuzzy as other docs (as I read in previous reviews). I wasted money by trying other docs. Trust me, he is the best. As I stare in my baby's eyes, I count my blessings that this doctor has helped me achieve my dreams of parenthood. I ended up having a complicated pregnancy at 20 weeks and my specialist said, 'good thing you did not have twins because the outcome could have been worse.' I am thankful for their, 'one embryo, one baby' thought process as previous specialists suggest putting in 2 embryos at a time. My baby came out actually overdue and he is perfect. His office is run like a well oiled machine. Very organized and minimal wait time. Dr. Anderson himself would do most of the call backs during the cycle and let me know the results. I appreciated that. His lab is also awesome too! They will also spend the time to answer your questions! Experienced embryologists are also an integral part of IVF success! read more

Dr Anderson is wonderful, the staff is wonderful!!!! I am so pleased at my choice to go to this doctor. i am only on my first IUI as of today yes just today but i really feel like i am already preg on try one. he monitored us so perfect. I don't know but they all are great ...everybody in the office. wish us luck even if not they're great. read more

I never thought I'd be writing a review about infertility in my early 30s, but if it can help someone else navigate through treatments and doctors, I'm happy to shed as much light as possible about my personal experience. My husband and I starting seeking fertility help in the spring of 2018, which began with a well-known female infertility doctor in Newport Beach - actually less than 1 mile from Dr. Anderson's office. I did my first round of IVF with her, in which everything was based on HER schedule and not how my body was reacting to the medications. My retrieval and implantation procedures were planned out a month in advance, to be convenient with her schedule and availability. Being new to the IVF process, I didn't know the important questions to ask, nor did I think that this advanced scheduling was unusual - until I met with Dr. Anderson a year later after an unsuccessful experience with this first doctor. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Anderson and his staff. He is a professional and truly an expert in his field and being able to compare him to another doctor, you realize this even more. His staff is wonderful too. The nurses are friendly, knowledgeable, and make you feel as comfortable as possible. I did my second round of IVF with Dr. Anderson, in which both the retrieval and implantation procedures were scheduled based on how my body was responding to the medications, to yield the best results possible. Thanks to Dr. Anderson, his expertise, and his amazing staff, I am currently 30 weeks pregnant. Thank you, SCCRM! read more

I noticed that upon entering the room that the exam wand already had a dollop of lube on it and I began feeling uncomfortable with that as I developed an itch and burn and was subsequently diagnosed with gardnerella. Anyway, I was unhappy and did not return after that. I always felt rushed and he only actually spent 2 minutes in the room and was very short. The girl who referred me also caught something while she was seen there as well. read more

We are still patients with Dr. Anderson and we have been for the past year and a half. We are not pregnant. In his defense, we have not taken the most aggressive route to get pregnant. However, we have followed his advice for a little over 8 months now without pregnancy. His bedside manner is abysmal; my wife cries every time after we see him. It's not just because of the news he delivers. It's his lack of sympathy (he'll never apologies or express condolences for the situation that you're goign through) that triggers us to be defensive and closed-off. Here's an example of something he said to me: After a couple of IUI coupled with clomid, my wife and I decided to take a break because, sometimes, you need a break from the hormones, 3/weeks appointments and the cost. Moreover, considering we have unexplained infertility, we were somewhat hopeful this would work itself out. When we returned two months later after not getting pregnant, Dr. Anderson said, "How'd that work out for you?" As if we didn't feel bad enough... The best part is we've followed his plan for the past 8 months and still no pregnancy. Apparently, following his plan isn't working out to well for us either... To be honest, my wife and I just went on a long walk talking about whether we should explore a different doctor. We have this "sunk cost" attitude with Dr. Anderson because we fear we'll have to start ALL over with someone else. If it weren't for his kind staff, we would have been long gone. As people who've gone this before know, it's difficult to not let your emotions override rationality because this whole process leaves you with countless unanswered questions no matter how much money you throw at the problem. It's tough and I have so much empathy for folks who are going through this right now. As a husband, it's especially difficult to be there for your spouse and support her in a way that's meaningful. My two-cents aside, I'm accustomed to paying for results and I have yet to see them nor do we really have any more answers than the day we started. read more

I have no words to describe how thankful I am, Dr. Anderson made my dream come true to become a Mom. Since our first meeting he was so informed about my case and he said to me: don't you worry. I will get you guys pregnant very soon, and so he did! He's such a nice guy. I was so sad he couldn't be my OBgyn. They have a nice office with new equipment and a wonderful staff. They don't make you wait more than 10 minutes. I met so many people with kids that had fertility issues and they all were Dr. Anderson's patients. I've been recommending him since he got us pregnant and they all are happy patients too. If you have any type of fertility issues, you have to go with him. He's definitely the best in Orange County area. Good luck! . read more

Dr. Anderson came highly recommended to me, my best friend has been pregnant by him twice, and is very happy with her experience. I, however, cannot share her same opinion. IVF never worked for me, not with Dr. Anderson and not with the RE I used after him, Dr. Accacio. And even though I never got good news in all of my 4 full cycle fresh attempts, my experience with both doctors was vastly different. I love Dr. Accacio and would recommend him with the highest review. Dr. Anderson's office is amazing, you'll feel like you are in a spa and being treated with utmost care. I have nothing but good things to say about the environment and staff. But in the end, these are not the things that ultimately matter. Your personal relationship with your RE is top priority, second only to his ability to do his job. While there were many things which went right while I was under Dr. Anderson's care, the things which went wrong went terribly wrong and were inexcusable. 1. During my first surgery, Dr. Anderson found some unexpected roadblocks, which he did not fix because "he had not gained prior consent". I was under the impression I had given consent to fix any problems preventing me from getting pregnant. I walked out with a stat sheet of items which still needed to be fixed and ultimately had a 2nd surgery under Dr. Accacio's care. 2. The night before my transfer, Dr. Anderson called to tell me that 2 of the fresh embryos would be implanted the next day and there were 4 frozen ones still awaiting genetic testing results. 10 minutes before my appt, he called to say we needed to delay an hour for results. I was confused, but we went to lunch. At the office, the technician told us we were still waiting for genetic testing results to see if my embryos were even viable. It was shocking, confusing and stressful to hear. That is not what he conveyed in our conversation the night before. 3. Dr. Anderson told me to go ahead and have the pre-transfer acupuncture treatment while we waited. I trusted his care and did it. I would find out an hour later, that I had just wasted $200. 4. After my acupuncture ended, I laid on the table awaiting further instruction for another 30 minutes. Dr. Anderson finally came to give us the news. At this point, he should have taken us to his office or at least asked me to sit up and have my husband next to me. But he did neither, he delivered bad news as I stared up at him from the table with my husband seated away from me. It was awkward and uncomfortable. In contrast, when Dr. Accacio gave us bad news, he seated us in his office next to each other with a box of tissues and a bottle of water. 5. Dr. Anderson also told me the frozen embryos tested unviable. It was very confusing and devastating as I thought we had a week before getting the frozen results. When I went to his office a few days later to start another cycle, the nurses told me they would have news on my frozen embryos in a few days. Confused, I assured them they had it wrong. But turns out I was right, we still had embryos being tested. There was still hope. I expected a call from Dr. Anderson with an apology for delivering such wrong information and to check on me to see how I was holding up. He didn't call until several days later when he had the negative tests results and never asked how I was doing, or acknowledged his error. A big fat major error. I was boiling mad by this point, which is what spurred me to find another RE. Infertility is grueling, expensive, emotional and often times does not ever yield a happy ending. You deserve an RE who has the desire to ensure he's delivering the right information, and the ability to guide you through bad news in a kind and personal manner. I did not grasp the weight of this, until this experience. I urge you to choose an RE based on the personal relationship you can build with him, so that he'll cry with you if he ever has tell you bad news... and you will feel much loved when you need it most. Side note: we have happily adopted since our unsuccessful IVF days. It's just as grueling but in different ways. But oh so worth it. read more

dr. anderson is double board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility. he's not only good at what he does but he's actually board certified as well which is important when you are spending a whole lot of money. the doctors (anderson and durron) do their consultations in the afternoon and see patients in the mornings from 6:30 a.m. to around 10 during the week and weekends usually from 8 to 11. this is great if you have to be at work early or don't want the whole world knowing what's going on with your reproductive life because really 10 visits a month is a lot. it took us 6 cycles of IUI (3 with clomid and 3 with injectable drugs), about 10 plus visits a month and a whole lot of EXPENSIVE drugs but we are finally pregnant. dr. anderson and dr. durron are excellent physicians and monitor their patients VERY closely. the doctor sees you every week during the first trimester for monitoring (bloodwork and u/s). it was awesome watching the baby grow from week to week. the best part was having a DVD from week eight on. amazing! the nurses are wonderful. they are nicest people you will ever meet and they genuinely care. the office staff is equally friendly and caring. they made a very difficult situation tolerable. i would highly recommend them. good luck! read more

Dr. Anderson did what I paid him to do....get me pregnant. His office staff is great and its easy to get an appt and be seen on-time (well its easier in the Mission Viejo office rather than the Newport Beach one) but overall he monitors you very closely and has a great success rate. I would say at first he was hard to warm up to but then later on we were more jovial with one another. My only complaint is that during my IVF process I got a condition where I was hyper-stimulated and I gained a lot of water weight/fluid. He waited until I could barely stand it anymore (I was carrying around 20 lb of fluid in my abdomen) before he admitted me to the hospital to get drained. I just would have liked to have done it sooner because by the time I got drained I couldnt stand up very well. But that condition passed and I was able to conceieve with his guidance and knowledge. read more

FYI, this is a detailed review. Please take some time to read it. (PART 1) After experiencing 2 IVFs with 2 different fertility clinics, I learned that fertility specialists can be very different. We carefully selected our doctors by comparing published IVF success rate reports on both the US government's CDC and the SART. Even though both doctors had comparably high national success rates, my previous doctor failed us terribly while Dr. Anderson helped us toward achieving the goal of pregnancy. Here is why. MY STORY I am 39 with diminished ovarian reserve (FSH 11.1, AMH 1.33). A few hours after the very first consultation with my previous doctor, we were given the calendar of dates for the injectable, the dosage and also the egg retrieval date without her doing any physical exam or ultrasound on me. Because of her reported high success rate, I chose to trust her even though I felt I was being treated like a number. Little did I know that it was so wrong to follow a set calendar without the doctor even knowing how my body would respond to the meds. After 31 days of birth control pills (which compromised my ovarian reserve even more) and 10 days of injectable, my eggs were retrieved before they became mature (5 eggs with Estradiol 394) because the retrieval date was scheduled two months prior. All of my retrieved eggs died on Day 3. The doctor told me to consider donor eggs because she "cannot make miracles happen." We felt desperate because even the fertility specialist with a high success rate could not help us. However, when we found Dr. Anderson six month later, it was a totally different story. There was no set calendar. Dr. Anderson did the ultrasound and blood test on Day 3 to decide if this month was a good month to start the IVF based on my antral follicle count and FSH level. Once the cycle started, I was monitored closely every other day and eventually every day before egg retrieval. Injectable dosage was adjusted based on each ultrasound and blood test. I had a total of 7 ultrasounds during the cycle compared to 4 with my previous doctor. I was given injectable for 14 days instead of 10 days with my previous doctor. With my AMH down to 0.87, Dr. Anderson managed to retrieve 8 eggs and had 3 embryos survive to Day 5 for PGS testing and 2 embryos came out with a normal PGS result. One boy and one girl! We were thrilled with the result. It was the miracle my previous doctor said she could not make happen. Although the published success rate on CDC of both my previous doctor and Dr. Anderson are among the highest in the nation, one clinic has a false/misleading high success rate because they cherry pick patients to boost up their rate. They pick easy patients with minor fertility problems or couples with no fertility issues but need gender selection. They simply turn down patients with real fertility issues by suggesting donor eggs without trying to solve the problem. On the other hand, Dr. Anderson is up to challenges and welcome couples who are struggling with serious fertility issues. He encourages couples who have experienced failed IVFs by offering free 2nd opinion consultation. And his success rate is not compromised at all. DOCTOR Dr. Anderson has nearly 30 years of experience practicing reproductive medicine. He is professional, knowledgeable, analytical, and focuses on maximizing the chance of success. He insists on the best methodology and protocol that gets the best result for each patient. He is more interested in what the best approaches are as opposed to what the patients want. The personalized, tailored approach is designed for each couple based on their unique situation. Dr. Anderson does not compromise on quality. He follows everyone's own natural cycle and initiates the treatment at the best time for the body. Dr. Anderson himself is not only confident and straightforward, but also detailed, thorough and observant. He is very efficient and is a no-nonsense doctor. In my first consultation with him, he walked into the office and the first question he had for me was " Where is your embryo report? Why don't I see your embryo report?" Apparently he had already read through all of my files before he met me. I had no embryo report because none of my embryos survived long enough to be tested. Unlike other doctors who take time asking the same questions you had already answered on your long application form or patient portal weeks before the consultation, Dr. Anderson knows your history even before he meets you and he goes straight to the point. Most fertility clinics have several doctors, but Dr. Anderson runs the SCCRM by himself and he performs hundreds of cycles annually. Unlike other clinics where ultrasound technicians do the ultrasounds and nurses call you for injectable dosage changes, Dr. Anderson performs almost all of the procedures himself and calls patients for dosage adjustments. Dr. Anderson is very accessible. read more

I am not sure of the outcome yet as to whether I will bring home a baby but I have to say, Dr. Anderson is BY FAR the best doctor I have been to. This is my 3rd RE in the past 5 years. I have only had IUI's with the previous two. I wanted to get going on IVF but decided to do more research on doctors before dropping that much money on just anyone. After a lot of research I chose Dr Anderson. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. He is very kind, has wonderful bedside manner, and I can tell he takes pride in his work. He is very thorough and takes his time. The office is clean and well organized. The staff is friendly. They just really have it all together. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, streamlined experience. You wont be disappointed. read more

**UPDATE** I did a round of IVF with Dr. Anderson. At 43, I ended up with 1 PGS normal embryo and am now almost 33 weeks pregnant. He truly is the best in my opinion. read more

You never really want to have to be in the position to go to one of these places. With that said, this clinic (office) is top notch! Dr Anderson and his staff are great! At first they aren't super personal but after seeing them every other day for weeks at a time you will get to know them better and see what a great dr and office staff this really is. Dr Anderson is there to get 1 job done, and he does it well. I'm so glad we came here, I had lost all hope of having another child and this place turned all my fears away. You pay for what you get, it's definitely going to cost you but will be worth every penny spent! Dr Anderson uses the most high tech procedures and equipment and truly knows what he's doing! read more

Dr Anderson came highly recommended from a friend of mine. He is the second RE we have seen and we are so happy we found him. Very professional and I feel very well cared for. I have recommended him to many friends and have only great things to say about his practice. read more

There is light at the end of the tunnel! There were moments that my husband and I feared we would never have children and I can happily report with the help of Dr. Anderson and his incredible staff we are expecting a beautiful baby girl! Dr. A is very to the point and will offer treatments he believes are best. My case ended up being IVF but he allowed us to try other options (IUI) before taking the big leap. He was honest and there to get us to our end goal which was to have a family. I can not express my gratitude and love that I have for him and his staff. If you find yourself in the same position we were in go straight here! It may take time but I can not recommend a better practice. read more

To start I'm not sure Yelp is a way to find a Dr. but that being said I think Dr. Anderson, his nurses and office are all wonderful. With his help and 3 rounds of clomid IUI's I had a my daughter and am currently pregnant with number 2 (again 3 rounds of IUI's). I am definitely not a extreme case but could not get pregnant on my own. They monitor you very closely and easily answer any and all questions you may have. Appointments are always on time and fast, wait time is usually no more then 5-10mins. After getting to know the nurses I am going to miss them and the care they give. If you are considering fertility treatments visit SART for dr. Statistics and I highly recommend Dr. Anderson and his team! read more

We have extensive experience with IVF having already gone with another doctor and failed. Dr. Anderson would be the steady hand that calm our nerves. Our old doctor would retrieve exactly on day 16, but Dr. Anderson would continue to wait a few more days to ensure the embryos have grown well that is to show he treat each patients personally. He may not be the warmest person on earth but his work ethics and his talents are beyond doubts, he is your best option in Southern CA. He would continue to monitor until the end of first trimester, you don't normally get care like that with other doctors. Dr. Anderson also works with the best lab around which would counts for 60-70% of chance of success. Everyone in the staff is professional and caring which helps to offset the doctor's bedside manners, moreover, all calls are answered promptly. His fee is more expensive and he also insists on using more expensive drugs but it is all to ensure the best chance of success. read more

As I sit here looking at my precious baby girl in my lap sleeping, I can only appreciate and thank the team at SCCRM, especially Dr Anderson for helping to give me this miracle of life to our family. My husband and I went through 7 years of infertility and were heartbroken. I came to him in the fall of 2016 after having 2 failed IUIs with another fertility specialist and our only option for hope was with IVF. What some people have to understand with this physician is that he is very thorough and analytical in order to make your attempt at a pregnancy successful. His way of practice is done to provide you the best chance possible for IVF to work and is not going to sugar coat the situation. After his first consultation he was able to provide us with our percentages and reality of our chances to become pregnant which was only 40% in his opinion. We were determined to do anything to attempt this one time in order for us to move on and see whether or not our own biological child was possible. The office is very professional and the staff was nice and accommodating with all our appointments and plan of care. The surgery center and lab were also the best they can offer in quality care. Dr Anderson always personally called and worked out our medication protocol. His nurses were very supportive and compassionate as well as very knowledgeable about the process and med administration. Being a nurse myself I appreciated them in my journey as being an advocate for my now being a patient. His nurse practitioner Joan is the sweetest and most personable nurse I have ever come encountered with. She made the process a lot more less stressful and her compassion helped me through one of the most challenging and hardest times in my life. After one IVF cycle, egg retrieval and one embryo transfer we were blessed and thankful for a successful pregnancy. I cannot thank this physician and office enough for helping me beat infertility. Infertility and the stress of growing your family is the hardest thing as a couple to go through. No one knows the stigma and emotional journey one goes through unless you walked a mile in their shoes. Not only is it an emotional journey but it's a financial one. After everything is said and done, the love that enters your heart after your baby is born is priceless. The process is worth it and if you are looking for a doctor to give you the best chances you have to conceive Dr Anderson will help you do it. I highly recommend his services and I am truly grateful not only to my friend who referred him to me but to this facility who gave me a chance to finally achieve exactly what I came to them for. Never give up and always have hope and as being a patient with unexplained infertility...coming here helped us finally beat the odds. read more

Dr Anderson is trustworthy, very skilled, kind and caring...I didn't know how to find an infertility specialist. A friend worked for him and spoke so highly of him and his staff. So I decided to go...I ended up needing only 1 round of ICSI and my twins are 17 years old now! read more

My experience with Dr. Anderson and his office has been awful. Let me start with the doctor himself: his bedside manner is atrocious and he has such tremendous lack of sympathy and empathy for what you are experiencing. He does not spend enough time with his patients and is not even available to ask questions because he is off to another room and another patient before you even have a second to gather your thoughts. On a couple occasions when I did ask him a question really quickly before he ran out the door, he looked so annoyed and told me to ask his nurse the question because he had to go. When we went in for our initial consultation, he was late by an hour, and then proceeded to tell us about all the tests that he would like to do on me to make sure things were okay. Not once did he mention anything about having my husband tested for anything and he told us it was not necessary and only the tests done through their facility were necessary. Even after we showed him previous unfavorable sperm test results, he still only focused on me and we unfortunately trusted his expertise. After multiple rounds of IUIs and a lot of money and time wasted, he had no compassion or follow up about the failed procedures. Come to find out, after doing my own research for months, my husband should have been tested too with other test methods before all the money we wasted on IUIs with Dr. Anderson. It makes me so upset that he did not take the time to discuss things with us after each failed IUI. All he said after the first failed attempt was, "it never works the first time." Really!! I was in tears out of frustration and anger with his lack of empathy! In addition, he does not tell you up front that his nurses will do the IUI instead of the doctor himself and one of his nurses actually hurt me and caused me to bleed for several days because she could not insert the catheter properly! Other people I know had IUIs done by the doctors themselves at other facilities. His office feels like an assembly line of one couple/patient after another going in and coming out. I understand that this is unfortunately the business and there is great demand for couples that are struggling to have children but the lack of empathy from the entire office staff boggles my mind. All they are interested in is the payment at the end of your appointment. Many times, while I was in the waiting room, I could hear the receptionists inside complaining about patients who would call with questions, because they were too busy and annoyed to help patients out. They also give so much incorrect information, the doctor and the nurse told us that our insurance would cover all the tests they wanted us to do with them and that we should wait for an authorization letter in the mail. After waiting two weeks, we called their office only to find out that they had given us incorrect information and we would have to pay out of pocket for everything! Also, its impossible to ask the doctor questions. There is no email or easy way to contact him or his nurses. It was such a struggle to have to call and leave a message to have one of his nurses call me back when they had time and were not busy with patients. I was told many times that they were too busy to answer my questions. At this point, I have more questions than answers and everything we have been through with his office has honestly been a waste of time and money. I would advise people to make sure both parties are completely tested before doing any procedures and wasting money like we did. We have contacted other doctors after this horrible experience but unfortunately they want us to start all over again with the slew of tests just to make more money and we don't want to keep paying out of pocket for everything since nothing is covered by our insurance. We are just so disheartened with this whole process... read more

When I came into Dr. Anderson's office I was very nervous. It was my first time at a gynecologist and only my girlfriends had ever seen my lady parts. Regardless of how emotionally unstable I was going in to Dr. Anderson's office, he made me and my little friend so comfortable and happy! He slipped his smooth latex gloves and talked in a low and confident voice that assured me I was in a true veterans office. As the exam went on I remembered I hadn't studied but Dr. Anderson comforted that unease with his seasoned skills and extremely long fingers he made me feel like few women have ever made me feel. My pussy was truly satisfied all the way through and not having an orgasm was the hardest part of my visit. After the exam Dr. Anderson dimmed the lights and played Kenny G to relax my still tense body after that extremely stimulating experience. He then ran three more tests and I finally came on the second to last one. He was a true gentleman about it and didn't even make me clean anything up. My next appointment is a week from now and I just can't wait! :) read more

Dr. Anderson made our dreams of being parents come true! I came to Dr. Anderson after failed infertility treatments at another well known doctor in the area. From the moment we met Dr. Anderson, he was so honest with us, did additional testing on my husband and myself and was 100% straight forward about our challenges at hand and caring about what route we needed to go with IVF. He didn't want to waste any more of our time or money on treatments that wouldn't work for us like the previous place had done. From the day we started our IVF journey with Dr. Anderson I was SO impressed with his attention to every detail of the process, he is a genius. He did the follow up calls himself to adjust my medications and shots throughout the process and the nurses are there for any questions at any time. You always see him or Joan who is also amazing for all ultrasounds. I had a successful egg retrieval and Dr. Anderson himself was the one to call me with the updates of our growing embryos every few days. Again, after we implanted our baby and waited for the results, Dr. Anderson called to give us the best news of our lives that we were having a baby! I sing his praises to anyone who is struggling and have referred countless friends there who have all gotten pregnant with their help. Thank you to the entire team at SCCRM. Our sweet boy is now a healthy and thriving 8 month old. We are forever SO GRATEFUL for you! read more

After almost giving up on believing that we would be able to conceive a child of our own, a friend, begged for me to meet with Dr. Anderson. I had seen another RE and he had advised that we only had a 10% chance of conceiving. Which was beyond devastating. After hearing this, we had decided to move forward with adoption. The same day that we were going to begin the adoption classes with the State of Calfornia, I met with Dr. Anderson. He provided a very detailed consultation. His final statement sold me. Which was something along the lines of, I think we have a very high probability of being able to help you. I was beyond excited and we decided to give Dr. Anderson a chance to work with us. Sure enough, after our first round of IVF, I am currently 7 1/2 months pregnant!!! Dr. Anderson and his staff is exceptional. The Ladies in the office have such a warm presence and always insure that you are comfortable. If you have lost hope, please see him before you give up like we almost did. We will be forever thankful for our baby girl! read more

Best Fertility Doctor ever....knows what he is doing 100% At first he might not seem super friendly, but he comes around in time and he is kinda funny. More importantly his expertise and knowledge is above and beyond. I had seen another RE for over a year and it was one of the worst experiences in my life. My gut had told me no, but due to expenses I cut corners and went anyway and have regretted it ever since. It still haunts me the whole experience. So then after all that wasted time, money and emotions we then were about to sign up and start the adoption process... but my yearn for Dr. Anderson wouldn't leave me so my husband and I had to try even though this was our very last attempt and we would not then be able to do adoption either if this didn't work...but I just HAD to try Dr Anderson. Let me tell you, from day one it was a real hope and all the odds in our favor were pointing here. They are honest and thorough and your success is their success. It is a detailed process and journey with much testing along the way, and if there is any hope he gets the job done...you can "almost" guarantee it. Dr. Duran is wonderful too, I did see him a few times during my weekly visits that I sooo looked forward to coming too. The entire staff is wonderful, 5 stars hands down!! Sometimes I hear it works better on the frozen cycle. For me...I was pregnant with twins(boy & girl) within 3 months of the process. It was the best experience of my life!!!!! I can not say enough about this place! Doctor Anderson and his staff are Remarkable!! read more

This review is long over due. I have time to write it now that I am on maternity leave and currently 37 weeks pregnant thanks to Dr. Anderson. I started IVF when I was 33 and had 3 failed cycles with two other doctors. My previous doctor told me I should consider donor eggs, even through I was producing a ton of eggs (at least 7 viable per cycle) and was still young. As a last resort, before adoption, my husband and I went to see Dr. Anderson. At our first visit Dr. Anderson reviewed our file which was three inches thick and told us he couldn't tell us much because we had not tested any of our embryos (PGD). We decided to move forward with our fourth IVF cycle with PGD testing and ended up with 3 viable embryos (2 boys and 1 girl). We transferred a boy at the beginning of November 2014 and I received my first positive pregnancy test. We were ecstatic but unfortunately we found out the day before Thanksgiving that we miscarried. When we followed up with Dr. Anderson he said that we need to try again but he would place me on an antihistamine protocol and make sure my body is not rejecting the embryo. The antihistamine protocol involved a steroid, Pepcid and Clairton. In February 2015 we transferred a girl and received another positive pregnancy test. We remained on the antihistamine protocol throughout the first trimester and everything has been great. It turns out I had an autoimmune issue that was not addressed by any of my other doctors. Throughout the whole process his staff was professional and caring. Dr. Anderson is confident in his work and straight forward, which my husband and I appreciated. I never felt like just a number. One of the nurses told me that very few people leave office without getting pregnant. I was so scared I was going to be one of those few people but it turns out I wasn't. After almost four years of IVF treatments, our baby will finally be here in two weeks!! read more

I was diagnosed with decreased ovarian reserve when trying to get pregnant. We went somewhere else first and got an arrogant and careless doctor, who missed my ovulation during the IUI treatment. I then was told that IVF would be the only way to get me pregnant. Feeling that the doctor made a mistake and wanting to get more money from us, we then asked around and found Dr Anderson. The office staff were professional and friendly. The nurses and Joan were like angels who were patient and thorough. Dr. Anderson is not the down to earth doctor you may imagine, but his great confidence, experience, and results gave us hopes and led us to decide to go with him. We only tried the first round and got 2 matured eggs!! But, one of them was missing enough chromosome pairs based on the PGS testing. We decided to implant the one and only egg we got, and under Dr. Anderson ' s careful plan, I got pregnant!! Dr. Anderson did not stop there. He monitored me weekly and gave me an ultrasound every week until I had passed 12 weeks. Now we enjoy being parents of a beautiful and healthy girl! We are already thinking about going back to Dr. Anderson to get a 2nd one. If you are looking for someone with skills and proven results for many years on over hundreds patients, and you do not want to waste your money and time, you definitely should consider Dr. Anderson!! read more
