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

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 The office itself is very old feeling, equipment is outdated, and the exam room was crammed with equipment to the point where it felt like i was in a storage area.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

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

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

I had a great experience over all with this office. I am pregnant now with my first child with one round of Ivf. Dr was very clear throughout the process and open for questions, love the fact that i can message the doctor whenever to ask any questions. Only cons I would say is what Iv seen and heard with many fertility clinics. You really have to look out for yourself, offices have many patients, staying on top of your appointments, making sure they have confirmed, making sure you have the medications you need that they have listed, so really not just rely on the office, be your own doctor. I would still highly recommend this dr, the egg retrieval was a smooth surgery, everything went very well throughout my first Ivf cycle!

Dr. Steinleitner and his staff are AWESOME! He tells you like it is and is always straight forward with you. They are all compassionate and rooting for you to make your dreams of being a parent a reality and I am happy to say he did that for me and my husband! I would recommend him to ANYONE and will if anyone ever asks me!

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

Dr. Steinleitner and his staff are absolutely the best! Even thinking to have to look to options that this office provides is scary enough in itself. Important decisions are made behind their doors. You can trust this team of experts with you choices and you checkbook. Dr. S is honest and a realistic with your best interest at heart. He is a chemist genius with a heart of gold!
He has carefully selected a team to work in his circle. After being first referred to Stanford, we were disappointed and after dealing with people who didn't answer the phone and didn't remember your name after just leaving the office, we were ready to give up. Fortunately we found Dr. STEINLEITNER, and although we don't know if we are pregnant yet, we feel comfortable that we are definitely in the right hands! Love you guys!
