Carolyn Alexander, MD

Dr. Alexander is simply just stellar. Dedicated, compassionate, caring are only a few words to describe her. I’m a doctor myself and I’ve seen right through other doctors BS. But Dr. Alexander is geniuine.
Furthermore shes knowledgeable in her field, takes her time to explain things. She was very patient and caring with my wife.
Kudos Dr. Alexander. You rock.

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!

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.

Wonderful OB/​GYN! With her background at Cedars, Dr. Alexander is very experienced, and also makes a point to share data and information with her patients. I loved it! Dr. Alexander is not only thorough but also very thoughtful. She takes the time to understand where her patients are coming from, and is considerate about my busy lifestyle.

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!

My husband and I only have great things to say about Dr. Alexander. We saw her for a year, and are so incredibly happy with the results (we are expecting our first any week now!).

Carolyn Alexander is great. She has been very honest and upfront about my treatment. Everything she would prep me for in my treatment happened. She is also very caring and always gave me hope during treatment. Her front desk Cecilia has been very helpful in scheduling my appointments and is very nice.

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.

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.

I love Dr. Alexander! As past reviewers have said, she is great for PCOS and fertility; she is extremely knowledgeable without being condescending. She has a warm, caring bedside manner and is very gentle and precise. Her positive spirit will warm you during the most awkward of procedures! The nurses and front desk staff are all welcoming and amazing as well.

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.

I can’t comment on billing as I haven’t gotten mine yet, but Dr. Alexander is brilliant. Her front office is one of the most efficient I’ve ever experienced, and her staff professional. They all work as a well oiled team, a rarity. A ++++

***I DID NOT SEE THE DR. BUT HAVE INFO ABOUT FEES YOU MIGHT NEED***
**Office Charges 2 fees: Dr. Fee + 2^nd 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.
Single Payer Now!

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.

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!

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.

I really LOVED her… she is the best doctor i ever had… very knowledgeable, and helpfull. easy to make appointment– always follow up-​always listen her patient– caring– aaah… i dont know what else… She is the bestinfertility doctor!
I really reccomend you to see her… don’t wait any longer…
