Alex Steinleitner, MD, Inc.

Alex Steinleitner, MD, Inc. is a physician-owned fertility practice in San Luis Obispo that now presents itself online as Simple IVF Centers San Luis Obispo. It is led by reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Alex J. Steinleitner, who has treated infertility patients for more than 30 years and has a long-standing interest in endometriosis and infertility surgery.

The office is at 127 Casa Street on California's Central Coast. Care is organized around a personal coordinator for each patient, an online portal with daily treatment instructions, and frequent direct contact with the physician.

The practice's signature approach is a "Simple IVF" protocol that uses moderate medication doses, fewer office visits and brief egg retrievals under light anesthesia to lower the cost of treatment. Other services include fertility testing, intrauterine insemination, conventional IVF with embryo freezing, preimplantation genetic testing (including sex selection), egg donation and gestational surrogacy. The practice also helps same-sex couples build families through third-party reproduction.

Success rates depend heavily on which patients a clinic accepts, so these numbers should not be used to rank clinics against one another. Cells CDC suppressed for small sample sizes (1-4 cycles) are shown as a dash.
