I had the incredible privilege of working with Dr. B, and it's time we revisited our journey. As I sat in the waiting room for an NST check, tears welled up in my eyes. It's hard to believe that we're about to welcome our baby soon. Our journey began here in 2023, after undergoing trigger shots and two unsuccessful IUI cycles. We ultimately made the difficult decision to pursue IVF. Despite the positive test results indicating that we were healthy on both ends, we held off on going all in with IVF. Even on my graduation day, Dr. B expressed that our case was unknown, as we would probably conceived naturally eventually . However, due to our age and the fact that we had been trying for almost three years after our wedding in 2021, we found this location that we had been praying for after years of prayer. On the day of the egg retrieval surgery, I was filled with panic and fear. But then, Dr. B walked into the surgery room and cracked a joke. "Ana, did you leave happy hour early last night?" he asked. Immediately, I couldn't help but smile and take a deep breath. He is the most incredible, amazing person we have ever met. He exudes an infectious positive energy and always made us feel completely confident that our miracle would happen. When he first read through our results, he exclaimed to my husband, "You're a Navy SEAL!" and to me, "Ana, you're a farm full of eggs!" It was the way he made us feel like everything would be okay. God bless you, Dr. B. You are truly one of a kind! When I think of exceptional and top-notch doctors, Dr. B is undoubtedly the MVP of fertility doctors. He is retiring on June 1st, 2026. Dr. B, I hope you find this post and understand the profound impact your career has had on many of us. I can never repay you for the incredible support and miracle that I am eagerly anticipating meeting here soon. Enjoy your retirement with the beautiful life mission accomplished that you were always destined for. You've made life-changing experiences for many, and we wish you continued health, happiness, and prosperity. God bless you forever. The Navas

This behavior alone says everything about how they operate. What makes this even worse is the bullying and discriminatory attitude. If you are Chinese and do not speak fluent English, they treat you as if you know nothing and can be pushed around. I am a living example of how badly they treat clients they believe won't fight back. Their tone is dismissive, aggressive, and intimidating, and they show zero respect or empathy for intended parents going through an already emotionally exhausting process. From the very beginning of IVF all the way to delivery, this journey was extremely unpleasant, stressful, and traumatic, largely due to their behavior, attitude, and refusal to take responsibility.

After seeing several fertility doctors and going through multiple unsuccessful rounds of IVF with…read moreother clinics, I was starting to lose hope. Years of my time were wasted with doctors who just couldn't figure out the issue. Then I found Dr. Vermesh. He took the time to truly investigate what was preventing me from getting pregnant, identified the problem, and successfully treated it. After so many years of struggling, I can finally say that I'm pregnant thanks to him. I only wish I had found him sooner. Dr. Vermesh is absolutely the best. His team of nurses is incredibly kind, patient, supportive, and always available whenever you need them. They stayed positive and encouraging throughout my entire journey, which meant so much to me during such an emotional process. This was truly the best experience I could have asked for, and I will always be grateful to Dr. Vermesh and his amazing team for helping make my dream come true.

From our very first consultation, he didn't overpromise, but his calm, optimistic demeanor immediately made me feel I was finally in good hands. We proceeded with a gentle, carefully monitored protocol. He checked my hormones continuously and adjusted my medication doses based on the results. Because of that individualized care, I had an ideal outcome for my age (39). Our first transfer worked, and I am now 11 weeks pregnant with a healthy, growing baby. Dr. Vermesh also recommended intralipids to help maximize my implantation chances. His care has been exceptional -- always kind, reassuring, and thorough. The entire team is wonderful, and I want to give a special thank-you to Juliana, who always replied to emails promptly and kept me updated on every single lab result. May God bless Dr. Vermesh and his team for all they do!

Where does one begin?! I was a patient of Dr. Mousa. I came to him after loosing a baby at 20 weeks…read moredue to a chromosome deletion. It was beyond devastating. But we knew we wanted to conceive again and to use science this time around. Upon our first consultation at his Sherman oaks office, he was so sympathetic and patient to hear about what brought us to his office. Very caring and reassuring, did not rush to move on to the next patient. As our appointments progressed into his Thousand Oaks office and we began our IVF journey he was very communicative throughout the whole process. Explained everything in great detail and also just had a great disposition and humor when much needed. He always made himself readily available. I have never had a dr give out his cell number and text with embryo updates. It was so reassuring while you anxiously await updates that were going to come on the weekend. I am so glad he was our Dr throughout this whole process. His office, front office staff, back office nurses and surgical techs ran like a well oiled machine! Not only do they have a system down, but that system is so organized and works to a "T" to best assist the patients. From walking into the office and always being warmly greeted with a smile, to checking in to see how you're feeling, to giving stickers to my toddler that would often accompany me on appointments. To the back office assistants always greeting you, getting to know you and getting you comfortably set up in an exam room. Never had to wait for Dr. Mousa. To the nurses that would see you after your exam to go over all medications and how to administer. To always being available with just a phone call. The great surgical techs prepping you for retrieval or a transfer. Making sure your as comfortable as can be before going in, talking to you before your procedure, giving quiet time if that's what needed, to the anesthesiologist calling the day before to go over everything making sure you feel comfortable pre op and post op! Every step of the way they went up and beyond!! The happiest days of finding out you're pregnant to graduating and leaving the office, such a bitter sweet moment. I could not recommend this office and Dr. Mousa and his staff more.

By…read morethe time I met Dr. Kalan, he was the third doctor I had consulted with, and from the very first moment, I knew I was in the right place. Feeling safe was incredibly important to me as a survivor of multiple sexual assaults, including one that resulted in a pregnancy and miscarriage. I knew this process could be triggering, and I was initially nervous about having a male doctor. However, I can honestly say I have never felt safer or more respected with a provider than I have with Dr. Kalan. What stood out most is that he treated me like an individual, not a number. Throughout this process, I've learned that every fertility journey is different every body is different and he truly respected that and tailored my care accordingly. He made me feel heard, supported, and completely at ease during one of the most vulnerable experiences of my life. His bedside manner is exceptional, and his entire team reflects that same level of care and compassion. I just completed the first step of my journey and can confidently say I've found my fertility team. Even the hour-long drives to this location have been worth every minute. Saying goodbye to my nurse was unexpectedly emotional I was so grateful to have finally found a team that made this journey feel safe and manageable. I'm grateful this journey is not over and truly look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Kalan as I take the next steps in my fertility journey. From the bottom of my heart thank you team.

Our journey through IVF, from that first conversation to our egg retrieval in May and then our first (and successful!) embryo transfer in late July, was seamless, supported, and full of care every step of the way. We're now expecting our baby boy, due April 2026, and we owe it all to this incredible team. Dr. Kalan is everything you'd want in a fertility doctor: kind, compassionate, funny, and refreshingly human. His bedside manner is unmatched, and he always made us feel like more than just a number in the process. You can tell he truly cares. Our nurse, Stephanie Sarkisian, was our rock. No matter what we needed or how many questions we had, she was there, attentive, encouraging, and full of warmth. She helped carry us through the emotional highs and lows with grace and reassurance. IVF is no walk in the park, mentally, emotionally, and physically, but this team made it feel bearable, even enjoyable at times. Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made all the difference. We're so grateful we chose this clinic. We would recommend Dr. Kalan and his team again and again to anyone walking this path.
