Robert Anderson's Online Review Report Card

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.

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant after several years of miscarriages and failed transfers. I was a patient at a different clinic and after 2 years with no success I decided to make the switch. I didn't want to leave my previous clinic because my doctor was kind and staff was very helpful but what's the point of all that if you can't get what you are truly there for, a baby! Dr. Anderson is very straightforward, no wasting time. He came up with a protocol and I got pregnant with my first transfer. He's very knowledgeable and has high success rates. I had mixed feelings about going here due to the many reviews that he's not warm and fuzzy but ultimately that's not what I'm looking for. I want a doctor who's going to help me cross the finish line, is effective and professional.

Excellent doctor and even better support staff. Thanks to them we have a beautiful 6 month old baby and will soon be back to try to have a 2nd.

He's great and his staff is even better. Thanks to him and everyone there we have beautiful baby girl. Joan is and Angel. Crista is amazing.

This review is long overdue, but we were finally able to fall pregnant thanks to dr Anderson, our little miracle was born last month, words can't describe how happy we are. Look no further for your fertility needs.

what can i say, other than my wife and i tried for two years on our own, during which time we were visiting a different fertility specialist that didn't perform all the diagnostic tests he probably should have and wasn't so subtly nudging us in to ivf as soon as possible (we dropped him pretty quickly)vitals: wife was over 30, decade+ of continuous birth control, egg count about right for her age and my (sperm) side seemed ok as per the testsdr anderson's plan was for us to try iui 3x and if that didn't work, to seriously consider ivf. on the third try, we were very fortunate to have conceived, and our son is now 2 months old, healthy as can be, and we could not be more thankful for everything dr anderson and his team have done for us and our familyi never met him personally but i did speak with him on the phone. his support staff in the office are all incredibly kind and i had nothing but extremely positive experiences with this entire teamwe know what it's like to choose someone, only to be disappointed in the endi could not recommend dr anderson's group more -- and best if luck to you if you are reading this

Dr. Anderson and Dr. Royster are without a doubt THE BEST fertility specialists around.. My experience with infertility is pretty extensive.. I've done a laparoscopy, 3 hsg's, 1 SIS, 1 hysteroscopy, 3 iui's (which btw is pretty standard in most fertility clinics), 5 full rounds of IVF with 3 different fertility specialist and Dr. Anderson was FINALLY the "miracle worker" that helped me get pregnant on my first round with him. CDC and SART rates say it all.. they have one of the highest success rates in the NATION. My main issue was diminished ovarian reserve due to a grapefruit sized cyst that took over my entire right ovary. I had the cyst removed via laparoscopy with my OB and unfortunately they weren't able to salvage much tissue on my right ovary which resulted in my Amh dropping from 1.9 to 0.7 at the age of 33. I did 3 iui's with my first RE that did not result in pregnancy, then moved on to another clinic and did 4 rounds of ivf which resulted in average graded embryos and zero pregnancies.. I was losing hope at this point and was thinking about giving up.. or moving onto donor egg. A girl that I follow on social media who has a very strong influence and presence in the infertility community by the name of Anna Wang (@annagetscozy) posted about SCCRM and how amazing her experience was here. She also went through multiple rounds of IVF at another clinic and ended up getting pregnant her first round with Dr. Anderson. Feeling defeated after my 4th failed ivf.. I wasn't ready to give up just yet and called SCCRM right away to schedule a consultation after I saw her post. Dr. Anderson is the best. He knows exactly what he's doing.. he's had over 30 years of experience. It honestly baffles me when other reviewers post about his "one size fits all" or "cookie cutter" protocol... like what??? I'm sorry, Are you the specialist or is he?? Did you, the patient, go to years of medical school and complete years of research or did he?? I trust Dr. Anderson and Dr. Royster whole heartedly. I had 2 different friends come to Dr. Anderson the same time as me and NONE of us had the same protocol.. so let's debunk that "one size fits all"  theory . Aside from Dr. Anderson being the literal best, the lab he works with is known for producing high quality embryos. At my old clinic FOUR retrieval's resulted in only 2 average graded, day 6 pgs embryos. Ovation labs was able to culture 2 perfect day 5, 5AA pgs embryos in ONE retrieval. We did a transfer the following month and I got my very first positive pregnancy test after 4 years of battling infertility and going through treatments. Dr. Anderson also ran some additional tests on me because I've had failed cycles with my previous clinic and he discovered I have a blood clotting disorder which requires a medication called lovenox. This was most likely the reason why I had so many failed cycles at my old clinic. He had me on lovenox and suggested intrillipids a few days prior to transfer. My entire experience at SCCRM has been nothing short of amazing. My only regret is not finding them sooner. Even if I didn't get pregnant I would still give them a high rating due to the care I was under. Due to covid my husband couldn't be there for any of my appts but I never felt too alone because the nurses really took care of me.. Crista, Jo, Joan and Joyce were there for me and they celebrated with me when I got my beta results back. The girls in the front, Molly and Robyn are so sweet and always so helpful. I'm seriously going to miss SCCRM. I wish they could see me through my entire pregnancy. But I'll be back next year for baby #2 and another egg retrieval just to preserve more eggs. I personally found Dr. Anderson to be really charming and kind.. I read some reviews stating he's dry and basically didn't coddle their feelings enough... Dr. Anderson specializes in reproductive endocrinology NOT therapy. Believe me, I understand infertility is daunting and lonely but I have never expected any of my RE's to coddle my feelings. I expected them to help me get pregnant. He's very straightforward (which I appreciate) but that doesn't mean he's dry or rude. Every time I had a question he answered it thoroughly and never made me feel like I was being rushed. I hold Dr. Anderson and Dr. Royster in the highest regard. I fully appreciate the care I was under.  SCCRM thank you for everything.. you helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life and helped me realize my dream.

Thinking about this place irks me, not because my 3 IUI didn't result pregnancy but because of the lack of care from the Dr. and the worst staff members they have there (except for the nurses, they were actually the only ppl who cared). Like other reviewers mentioned Anderson has this "one plan fits all" cookie cutter strategy- 3 IUI then IVF. During the 3 IUI, I was to show up every single day for ultrasound to check the follicle growth. This would been perfectly fine if Anderson himself showed up to perform the ultrasound at least 1/2 times, but it was always done by Joan, the nurse practitioner. One time, when he felt like showing up on my ultrasound, and I had questions to ask, but half of his body was already out to leave the room like the door was the only thing preventing him from exiting. I clearly remember the one question I had and his answer. I asked why another IUI and why can't I just move forward with IVF instead, he said "it's easier on the body and less money". Does he really think I cared how much it costed at this point after he milked out every time I showed up, with a possibility I would eventually move on to IVF from his office again? And it's easier on the body? I was already pumping up with synthetic hormone drugs daily without any success and he wanted me to continue this same plan until his experiment proved him wrong. His only interest is your dollar and his ego. Anderson is mediocre at best. You may get pregnant, but just like by any other so called doctors. Now for his staff - as I said the nurses here are good people. On the contrary those girls at the front office are some of the worst, especially someone named Dee. This woman has an attitude issue. It's cool when you catch her in occasional good mood, but expect the sass when she's not. I had one friend who stopped going to Anderson's because of her, and another friend who liked this office overall except for Dee. I once witnessed a patient outside the office door, crying. Not knowing what had happened, I came inside, and found out the exact reason from the staff (Mery Ann was the loudest), and I didn't even ask them why she was crying. It was through the gossip they were exchanging, for all to hear, how many times she had done IVF and still didn't get pregnant. Do they know the little gossip they find so entertaining a tragedy to someone else, and the worst of all very illegal? Smh This is only the most horrendous one my husband and I heard. I still go to this area for different doctor's visit, and every time I see the building Anderson and his staff are in, a small pit of fire in me ignites. It was the worst experience I had from any healthcare provider.

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.

Save yourself $20,000 plus. Doctor Anderson has the worst fertility clinic/bed side manner in southern california, his practice is unorganized and chaotic until it comes to payment. The nurses are fine but don't expect any special care from Anderson. This is a turn and burn cookie cutter operation. And finally if you are unfortunate enough to go through IVF with this doctor he will over stimulate you with follistim and then you will have a bunch of empty follicles, and he will tell you that its your fault and you are shooting blanks. Never have I ever seen a doctor blame the patient for his failed technique. Avoid this place like the plague.
