He takes his time to get to know you personally and he isn't in a rush to get you in and out and leave you feeling completely uncared for like your Dignity Health doctors on 9500 Stockdale in Bakersfield. It's sooo refreshing to see in Dr. Allen the old time quality care that doesn't exist in your other facilities. You say you do these surveys to improve quality care but it feels like you are just going through the motions. I feel this is just a business to you and your doctors and you don't listen to how people feel anyway, so why waste time on your surveys. Will anyone even read this? I'll never get an answer to that. I'm only really writing to thank Dr. Allen for being such a wonderful exception and a caring human being. I wish he could read this to truly know how grateful I am for his care and professionalism." Thank you, Joni Michele Mello

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!

Dr. Klis is experienced, patient, kind, caring, hardworking, trustworthy, and truly world-class in his field.

I was very frustrated with the lack of communication from this office. I found out through a text…read moremessage that I was prescribed antibiotics, but no one clearly explained to me what I was being treated for, why I needed the medication, or what the diagnosis was. When I called the office to ask questions and get clarification, the response I received was dismissive and came with an attitude, including being told, "Good thing you called to find out." I shouldn't have to call the doctor's office just to find out what medication I'm taking and why I'm taking it. This experience left me feeling frustrated, dismissed, and uninformed about my own healthcare. I would strongly encourage this office to work on its communication and the way staff respond to patients who are simply trying to understand their treatment.
