Los Angeles Reproductive Center

EDIT: updated to reduce the review to 1 star.Dr. Kalan had a long discussion with me a few days ago about my PCOS. Today, he asked me if I’ve ever been diagnosed with PCOS. I understand he sees hundreds of people, but at least check your visit notes!The clinic notified me VIA EMAIL that I had an urgent change in retrieval plans/timing and dosage of medications. That is something that requires a phone call.Dr. Kalan and the IVF Coordinator Yang are horribly incompetent and I wish I never followed through with this hellish experience.Original review:I am currently working with LARC through a third-party egg donation/freezing agency (Cofertility) and my experience so far has been pretty disappointing. I have been assigned to Dr. Winkler, but we have only met once for a few moments in the 6 month long process. Every time I have been scheduled to be seen by Dr. Winkler, Dr. Kalan had to see me instead because she was out that day. This happened 3 times.I feel there is minimal transparency, any time I inquire about possible side effects to the injectable medications I am met with an attempt to change the subject or highlight something positive.The worst experience so far was the medication administration training from the IVF Coordinator. I explained to her that I am worried about possible hair loss from the medications (as my hormonal alopecia arises when I stop birth control) and instead of going anywhere near that topic, she exclaimed that many women experience improvement in their skin…I had to remind her that I was asking about hair. Similarly, she dismissed my nervousness about the side effects and talked about how small the needles are (I have visible tattoos and piercings, needles are not my concern). It seemed like she wasn’t hearing a word I was saying, or was just adamant about switching to a positive subject any time I expressed hesitancy or reluctance.Other than how kind and gentle Dr. Kalan is,I am absolutely never recommending this clinic to anyone.

I cant complain about Dr Kalan. He was very sweet, responsive, knowledgeable, and caring about his work and his patients. If there was a problem he wanted to be thorough and would talk to you about any additional testing he recommended to be done. He spoke in ways that helped me understand things. He even gave me a call after my baby was born to see how we were doing. He called me on more than one occasion if there was something that i needed to do and/or know. I even sometimes had issues paying for some things and he would help me financially. 100% i recommend Dr Kalan. its because of him i have my beautiful rainbow baby! Thank you Dr Kalan for helping us on our journey to parenthood!! You truly are a blessing!!

Both doctors we saw and all the staff were very professional, lovely to interact with and we felt like they cared for us during the whole process. We were luckily to find such a wonderful clinic and blessed with two beautiful children. Thank you so much

I’m so grateful that I found this place and that after my second IUI, I became pregnant. Thank you to Dr. Kalan, Dr. Winkler, and Nurse Kimberly for your expertise, care, and kindness. I’m blessed to be expecting a baby boy next year in 2024. Thanks again for all that you do💗

Dr. Kalan is the best doctor we have ever met. He’s a professional, ability, knowledgeable, friendly, patience and responsible doctor.We are so lucky to find him. We have a twins now. Our IVF was a tough journey. We went and worked with serval IVF clinics before we found Dr. Kalan.I remembered one IVF that we only met that doctor first time. Then he disappeared for our next visits. His nurse and assistance made a mistake on my ultrasound. It was a waste time and a sad experience for us.We also met one Korean IVF doctor who did an ultrasound on me and was told to me that I might have uterus cancer. I went back to my OB and my OB sent me to image center twice, but they found no result. I was referral to have biopsy operation. The result is I have no cancer. Because the Korean doctor is unprofessional doubt. I spent and waste almost one year to prove I have no cancer.Based on our Failure experiences, we carefully choose the next IVF. We learned we needed to find a professional, ability and responsible IVF doctor. We luckily found out Dr. Kalan. We searched him by Googling and Yelp. He has almost zero negative review. We decided to visit him. More than I expected he is very patience and professional doctor. He explains my situation and plan. At the same time, he found out I have polyps that needed to be remove. The good news is he can personally operate on the surgery himself. I am so happy to know I dont need to go back and spend many time going back and forth with our OBG. I don’t need to spend another few months to solve my Polyp issue. One month later my polys were removed by Dr. Kalan. In our next process and visits with Dr. Kalan, he always personally follows up the process. Sometimes we have questions after the visit, though Dr. Kalan is very busy all the time, he always calls us back to reply our questions.He never ignores us. Due to the Covid 19, we delayed our IVF process a few months. Finally, we succeed with our treatment. Today, I can say we are having to have twins. The nurse, Ivanna and Joana are very nice, friendly and patient. They always replied my email very quickly.My husband and I very appreciate Dr. Kalan and his nurses give us help and support. We have very happy IVF journey with Dr. Kalans clinic.

After 18 years of fertility treatments we decided to give Dr. Kalan a try. Started our journey 12/2018 and by May 2019 we were FINALLY pregnant. I can’t thank the wonderful staff and Dr. Kalan for our beautiful miracle.

I came here and let me tell you dr. winkler is the best. I had infertility issues for years. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to have kids and thanks to her I conceived within months with injectable medication and IUI. I am very happy now I’m 17 weeks pregnant. The staff was also nice very understanding. I recommend this place if you’re trying to conceive, give them a try

Loved the doctors, very nice and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the office is completely unorganized, billing mistakes, scheduling issues, horrible handling of paperwork, misguided tests, etc. After our current session, we will never go back or recommend going there to anyone.

Dr. Kalan is amazing and supportive.
