I have been here a few times maybe 4 at the most. I come for…read moremonitoring since I have a home clinic and this one is closer to me. I got seen during ovulation prior to embryo transfer and the staff I've worked with have been great, amazing sweet and kind never an issue. Parking is never an issue and the care I am getting is for IVF treatment since I am a 2nd time surrogate. It's always clean in the office the rooms are spacious I have yet to meet the actual dr but again since I only get seen for monitoring it's mostly and mainly done by another nurse or Ultrasound Tech. ETA I met dr and he is so sweet, so nice, so everything! Yes yea yes definitely recommend this clinic!

I think it's really important people read the most recent reviews. Dr. Acasio the doctor and…read moreperson seem great to me. But something is going on. We too were scheduled for our thaw and fert when we got the call that the doctor would be on leave. No problem. Things happen. But clearly the office is in some form of chaos with no ability to communicate clearly, help with any processes necessary to change clinics and it even took them 3 months before they figured out their facility didn't even have our eggs. It's a mess. Maybe they'll get it back on track, but it almost feels like there is a big secret being protected and along the way, you'll be the one to wait and sacrifice. I get better service and attention at my local Starbucks, and that's only a cup of coffee at stake.

I can't tell you how much I LOVE Dr. Kalan and his staff. After a couple rough experiences with…read moreother fertility specialists in the area, Dr. Kalan was a breathe of fresh air. From the initial consultation, he was so warm and explanatory. He answered all my questions (without irritation) and we had a go forward plan. Ultimately, we did two unsuccessful IUIs (out of pocket) and did one round of IVF (mostly covered by insurance). We were fortunately successful with round one of IVF and I am currently 23 weeks with our baby boy! We transferred two embryos, one was a blighted ovum and one successfully stuck. I had a few random days of spotting, likely from the blighted ovum and each freak out email I sent to Maribel, she calmed me down lol. They also allowed me to come in an additional week for a scan to make sure all was good while I waited for my OB appointment. The only minor inconvenience (which is the case with every fertility specialist in Bakersfield) is that for IUIs, egg retrievals, and transfers, you have to go to his Encino office and the lab there. Not a terrible ride from Bakersfield, but just FYI. He was also really good about scheduling and flexibility in life. If you are in need of a fertility specialist and live in Bakersfield, don't waste your time with anyone else. Dr. Kalan and his staff are the best and I don't say that lightly!

I live in Bakersfield, and have PCOS and Endometriosis and my husband also has fertility issues…read morehimself we seen a fertility specialist in Bakersfield and didn't feel comfortable: I was referred to Dr. kalan who practices in L.A but also travels to Bakersfield once a week. He made us feel very comfortable and confident in our treatment plan, and he just genuinely cares about his patients. After 5 years of trying to get pregnant we did a round of IVF with dr.kalan and now expecting our little miracle baby girl and boy august of 2021!!! Thank you Dr. kalan and staff for making our dreams come true. I am so greatful for the doctors and staff at this place!!!!

Dr. Kalan is one of the great doctors in this phenomenal medical practice. He travels to…read moreBakersfield weekly and communicates with his practice partners fluidly, so that I was able, as a Bakersfield resident, to continue with IVF that I'd begun in their Tarzana office, right here in town. Anyone in Bakersfield seeking fertility treatment knows that there isn't much, in town, for advanced infertility treatment. It was so frustrating for my husband and I. Then, we found The Center for Fertility & Gynecology. This particular practice, Drs. Kalan, Vermesh & Winkler, have so much to offer medically, but what is more, they show outstanding concern for their patients as individuals. You are never just medical protocol with these doctors! Their years of experience and love of helping people overcome infertility are very evident. Our son was born last week and my husband and I are eternally grateful to this practice and these doctors. They gave us the chance of a lifetime & we cannot thank them enough!

TL;DR version: fantastic place where women's concerns are taken seriously…read more I was a bit nervous when all of my doctors and nurses were jumping ship from San Dimas to Kaiser. After San Dimas closed, I needed to find a new place for all of my "womanly" needs. This place has been amazing. First of all, I have to praise Kristin Chisum: she was an amazing PA at San Dimas who transferred her services to CA Obstetrics & Gynecology. NO joke, she may be the best medical professional I've ever had because she LISTENS to me and takes my concerns seriously. I have been able to get tests, ultrasounds, treatment, and recommendations that many doctors have poo-poo'd in the past. I always leave this place relieved and happy to have somewhere I can go and be treated correctly. The staff is kind and helpful, the waiting room is nice, and they have a bathroom by the waiting room, so you don't need to hold your pee until you're closer to the exam room. That stuff is important for us little-bladder-havers. As a woman in her 40s, this place has been a blessing.

I went to Dr. Crenshaw as a new patient. Looking for advice on fertility treatments. During my exam…read moreDr. Crenshaw asked if I had considered adoption (based off of nothing on my medical history) and then proceeded to tell me a horror story about a recent patient who had struggled with fertility and both her and her baby died. Umm... this was all while the Dr. was examining me for the first time ever. No insight into my personal conditions. No questions asked, nothing. Yes, I had considered adoption. No I didn't need to be told a graphic horror story of a stranger dying along with her child after fertility treatments. She made my stomach turn and I left in tears. I never went back.

I love this doctor! Wait times to see her are generally a little longer than desired. But, there is…read morean obvious reason for that. She is a long time ob/gyn and she has tons of patients. She delivered my daughter in 98 and will be delivering my son in 2 weeks. Her walls are filled with pictures of babies she delivered!! She will definitely rush through a routine appointment, if you have no questions or concerns. She's busy!! BUT, I've never had an issue that she failed to address. If I tell her, "I have a few questions for you." She sits down and listens to me. I can imagine that if she does sit with her other patients like she has sat with me, her appointments will sometimes run over. Big deal. I get my fair amount of time with her when I need it. Also, she has been a doc for a long time, so I trust her judgment. Being pregnant is a scary time, full of "what-ifs" and fears. She's very to the point, but also the kind of doc that will give you a hug or encourage you through the difficult times. Almost motherly.

He wanted to leave in the laboring process and told my daughter to cross her legs n he'd be back. Hours later, after much suffering he returned. He also told my daughter to be quiet as she was scaring other girls there in labor. She acquired a large hematoma we suspect from holding the baby in. Also, he stitched her with no pain medicine. We also found out the pleasant surprise she could not get an epidural as she had titanium rods in her back. It was told before hand it would be no problem.. I used him when I delivered her- my daughter, so I thought it would be a special thing to use him too! SO WRONG! Such a horrible experience. And my fault. Damn Anyway our experience was dreadful and I was so disappointed. I truly do not recommend this man to deliver your child.
