Alex Robles

After consulting with 3 other reputable clinics, I chose to embark on my egg freezing journey with Dr.Robles and his incredible team at Columbia Fertility. He was highly recommended by a friend of over 20 years, who had also consulted with various clinics and sought a premium experience. I had my egg retrieval yesterday and want to explain the importance of feeling and being supported throughout this strenuous process, and not feeling like a cog in a machine. I never felt that. From our initial, virtual, consult, the process was explained thoroughly, my questions were answered empathetically and with incredible compassion. Even throughout the process, i could easily email Dr. Robles & team, and receive prompt responses. Their data driven approach allowed me to fully understand where I was, each day of the process. The morning monitoring team (they take your bloodwork and conduct the ultrasounds) were incredible as well, allowing me to take pictures of everything so I could personally document my journey.

The morning monitoring team (they take your bloodwork and conduct the ultrasounds) were incredible as well, allowing me to take pictures of everything so I could personally document my journey. I was referred to by name, welcomed with smiles, escorted to every room, & checked in with during every step - the last thing I felt like was a number.

Dr. Robles was very thoughtful throughout the care. While very busy, he tried to attend as many of the visits and procedures as we could and also thoroughly answered my questions and explained options and results to me.

Dr. Robles remembers a lot of the details, demonstrating a genuine care for his patients. He willingly adjusts treatment plans based on my personal circumstances and promptly communicates laboratory results, alleviating any anxiety associated with waiting. Recently he scheduled a next-day scan in response to my report of unexpected bleeding.

Dr Robles is an amazing practitioner! He took time to be present in every appointment including early ultrasounds in the beginning of my IVF cycle. I was struck by the fiercely warm smile he greeted me with during each appointment. It was disarming and calming which is exactly what I needed. Other things that stand out is he called me by first name, explained all aspects of my treatment in great details and showed genuine care in regards to my questions and concerns. Lastly, he made himself available for questions via email and always provided quick responses.

Dr. Robles was incredible - he remembered small details about my life/career plans not specifically related to treatment and you could tell he was always listening. He called multiple times outside of typical office hours to see how I was doing, emailed promptly, and called me on a weekend evening before my retrieval to check-in. Truly the most kind and attentive healthcare experience I have ever had.

My experience with Dr. Alex Robles has been nothing short of spectacular. From our first consultation, I just knew I was in great hands. Dr. Robles’ in-depth knowledge was immediately apparent. With a sterling clarity of thought, he transformed medical terminologies into simple, comprehendible information. His empathetic and knowledgeable approach not only alleviated my anxiety but also filled me with hope for the future. Words cannot do justice to his level of care and expertise, and I can't imagine going through the experience with another doctor. The pronounced improvement in the number of eggs retrieved and eggs matured during my initial egg retrieval at another highly regarded fertility center was truly astounding. This only further underscored the efficacy of Dr. Robles' individualized approach and protocol, attesting to the fact that it genuinely works for each patient Dr. Robles personally made sure I felt taken care of every step of the way. During our first consultation, I told him about my experience with my first fertility Doctor and my concerns about her lack of involvement during the whole process. Every appointment was delegated to a different nurse I never saw a doctor until the day of my retrieval and it wasn't performed by my doctor. I felt like a nuance through the process. From the very beginning, Dr. Alex Robles was there for every single appointment, from bloodwork to ultrasound, never relegating me to the care of someone less familiar with my case. He was always fully present, listening attentively to my concerns, and answering my questions with patience and thoroughness. There was a level of personal care and attention to detail that was so consistent, it was almost like he was entirely dedicated to my case alone. Moreover, his ability to recall specifics about my medical history without even a glance at his notes was astonishing. It created a sense of continuity and personal connection that was deeply reassuring. It was as though every nuance of my case was always at the forefront of his mind. He didn't just listen; he engaged, understanding my medical history and current concerns with the thoroughness that is a rare find in today's fast-paced medical environment. What I also greatly appreciated was Dr. Robles respect for my input. He valued my thoughts and perspective, making me feel like an active participant in my healthcare, rather than just a passive recipient of it. His approach was highly patient-centric. What struck me most about Dr. Robles was his genuine interest in my well-being and his unwavering commitment to achieving excellent results. Throughout the entire process, I had the privilege of seeing Dr. Robles during every single one of my appointments. On challenging days, he was there to guide me, offering support and reassurance. After each visit, I always felt better, leaving with renewed hope and a smile. However, during the last consultation before my scheduled egg retrieval, I received unexpected news that another doctor would be performing the procedure as Dr. Robles was not available that weekend. I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, as I had grown so comfortable and confident with Dr. Robles by my side. Remarkably, on the day of the procedure, which was a Sunday, Dr. Robles surprised me by coming in solely to perform my egg retrieval. The relief and happiness I felt were beyond words. This act of kindness and dedication demonstrated just how much Dr. Robles truly cares about his patients and how he goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and comfort. I am forever grateful for Dr. Robles' exceptional care and commitment to my journey toward parenthood. He is more than just a remarkable physician; he is a compassionate and extraordinary human being.

Dr. Robles is very kind, patient and caring.

Dr. Robles is such a positive and uplifting person. He truly wants the best for his patients and goes the extra mile to answer any questions and provide holistic guidance.

Dr. Robles was amazing from the start. He took the time to explain where we were in our fertility journey. We were told after 2x failed IVF cycles we would need egg donation and Dr. Robles was willing to try and communicate with us. We traveled from Illinois to New York City for his care - every family deserves the level of care and compassion he has for his patients. He is beyond brilliant but a kind soul. He goes out of his way to say hello when his patients are in the office even if it is just for an ultrasound. He is available through a direct email address and actually gives you a call to share results. The entire staff at Columbia is amazing and makes you feel like you really matter.

Dr. Robles had a great bedside manner. He always came into the room with a smile, and he was so personable. He really listened to my concerns and made me feel like he cared about me and my treatment.

Dr. Robles is a great doctor- warm and kind, but also responsive and very attentive. I have great confidence in his medical decision making for me. I would highly recommend friends and family to him without hesitation.

Dr. Robles was patient, understanding and supportive throughout the entire process. He always made sure to see if I had any questions and tailored treatment based on my needs and medical history.

Dr. Robles was always very responsive via e-mail and would call to follow-up as well. When I went into the office, he would make sure all my questions were answered and explained everything to me with kindness and care while recognizing this was an emotional journey. He ensured I could see the ultrasound at the same time as me, which was helpful and brought me along on the journey.

Dr Robles was nothing short of terrific. He was consistently warm, respectful, attentfull, and willing to answer every single one of my (many) questions. He set very realistic expectations considering my PCOS so the outcome of the process was not a surprise. Speaking as someone who never had always been hesitant to see a male OB-GYN, I can't say enough positive things about Dr Robles and the entire CUFC care team -- from the patient coordinator (Sophie) to the OR nurses and billing coordinator (Jennifer).

Dr. Robles made us feel seen and heard. He made my husband and I feel so cared for the entire process. He really goes the extra mile to answer any questions/concerns and never dismisses them.

Dr. Robles always made my visits feel very personal and I really did feel like he was invested and cared.

Dr Robles was incredibly kind and spent the time to ask questions, learn more about my fertility goals and explain the process in detail.

He goes above and beyond, assisting us in planning our schedules and offering advice and professional guidance tailored to our specific health needs and age. His thoughtful approach leaves us feeling completely at ease as we navigate life's next phase. He's highly responsible, actively involved in every aspect of our treatment process, from examinations to surgeries, and communicates directly with us. Our collaboration with Dr. Robles and his care team has been exceptionally smooth. We felt happy, reassured, and genuinely cared for.

Throughout the entire egg freezing process, Dr. Robles was always genuine, kind, and empathetic. He made me feel like a human being and not just another patient. I sincerely appreciated him taking the time to patiently answer my questions whenever I had any. On the day of my retrieval, I was scheduled under a different doctor, but Dr. Robles made sure to come in and perform my retrieval himself. This gave me peace of mind, and I'm so grateful for his care. After retrieval, Dr. Robles checked in to see that I was doing okay. I'm thankful to him for making my experience stress-free and highly recommend him to anyone interested in egg freezing. You will be in good hands!

I switched to CUFS after having a frankly traumatizing experience at RMA- where I had gone in for a consult and been informed I had a lower than anticipated follicle count and ushered into the financial office still in tears at the news. I was nervous to seek out more fertility consultation because of this experience, but I am so happy that I did, and so happy that it was with Dr. Robles. He treated me with extreme kindness and understanding. He provided information without judgment. While the doctor I saw at RMA told me I had to freeze embryos “yesterday” and called me later to urge me to schedule ASAP because I was running out of time, Dr. Robles offered informed insight when I had questions about the timing and extent of treatment that I wanted to pursue. I NEVER felt like a number and never felt like this was a business- just a medical professional genuinely interested in providing care and optimal outcomes to his patients.

I was definitely treated like a human by Dr. Robles. He was very clear in his explanations with me and I never felt like he was rushing me to get to the next patient. He always took additional time to answer any questions I had. I also saw him multiple times throughout my cycle and if he did not see me in person he made a point to call me to check in to see if I felt OK and things were going well for me

I felt like a human because Dr. Robles was unbelievably responsive and understanding

Dr. Robles was so warm and kind, and always had lots of time to spend with me to answer my questions. I always felt really well cared for.

Dr. Robles has a very easy and open manner. While we worked with him, we were undergoing several external changes in our lives due to school, and he was very understanding of how this affected our needs and desires. Our treatment was affected by several religious restrictions, and he did his best to give us all the information we needed while allowing us to make the decisions we felt were best for us religiously. We also really appreciated his effort to be as present and involved in our process as possible, including calling us with our genetic results instead of waiting for us to make a later follow-up appointment.

Dr Alex Robles is an awesome doctor, patiently listen to what the patient is going through. Understand the end goal. Always very mannered and never get irritated with many questions sometimes personal. When in occassions he is not sure of right answers to my questions, he makes sure he contacts other doctors and get back to me with answers. He is very easily contactable and do not hesitate to speak to patients on phone or on email. Very responsive and knows what he is doing.
