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. Ayyagari did my surgery recently. He did a great job and I recovered quickly. He understood my…read moresituation and performed the surgery quickly. Everyone at the hospital had great things to say about him while I was waiting. He is kind, understanding, and overall was the only doctor who took me in quickly to help with my concerns. I will be going back for my future obgyn check ups.

I've been seeing Dr. Ayyagari for a few months now, he was the 4th OB/GYN and 2nd fertility…read morespecialist I've seen. He has excellent bedside manner, he's extremely professional, tons of experience and knowledge, and great with the spouses (my husband thinks he's the greatest)! He is very thorough and after my first appointment and listening to the issues I was having, he immediately knew what was wrong when no other doctor had been able to figure it out! Even during COVID he allows the spouses to be involved and attend all appointments. He goes over all potential risk and outcomes, he is incredibly informative, not to scare you but so you know exactly what to expect no matter what! He was recommended to me by a few friends who either had been treated by him themselves, or had a loved one treated by him and all spoke very highly of him. Dr. Ayyagari completed my surgery for Endometriosis, Pelvic Peritoneal Adhesions, Blocked Fallopian Tubes and Chronic Cervicitis. He said the Endometriosis had to have been progressing for 10 years or more! All the pain I had suffered over the years and he was the only doctor to even consider Endometriosis as an option, and he got it all! He addressed all of my health issues preventing my husband and me from being able to conceive. We are so grateful to Dr. Ayyagari and are excited to continue to work with him as we continue with fertility treatment!

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.

I agree with Judy. She was smart and only went 4 Times, I stuck around for 6 years. She's in a…read moregood hospital and she's also "fertility specialist". I never achieved a pregnancy while under her care for that. And yes, service is horrible, wait times were a couple of hours, even when you requested her 1st as ppt of the day, she was never in on time. Going to a new obgyn, even if it means giving birth at a different hospital.
