Marc Kalan, MD – Los Angeles Reproductive Center

Dr. Kalan is a wonderful doctor. I saw him from October 2014 through July 2015. We started out doing IUI and on the first try got pregnant. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a loss. Dr. Kalan was so caring about the whole thing and was really devastated for us. He called several times to check on me I’ve never had a doctor be like that. Later we tried again and had to convert to IVF which failed with the first transfer but after a surgery and one more frozen embryo transfer we now have a beautiful baby girl. I’m not writing this review just because I ended up with a baby but because of the care I got. From the compassion given during the hard times and the willingness to always be available for random calls and questions. I could leave an email, phone call or even text message about anything or any fear I was having through a cycle (like when I got the flu, or started bleeding at 9pm at night when I was 6 weeks pregnant) and Dr. Kalan would always get back to me right away. Another thing I would like to add is connivence. I’m not sure if he still does this but every week on Monday afternoon Dr. Kalan would have office visits in my town so that I wasn’t having to drive 2.5 hours to LA every time (which can be quiet a commitment when doing IVF). I don’t wish infertility on anyone but when I have people I know going through the same struggle I always tell them about Dr. Kalan so I do recommend him to anyone.

This doctor has been great from the first moment I met him. I feel comfortable and he explains things very clearly. He takes his time and seems like a genuine guy. He’s the second doctor I’ve seen for this and I feel confident he’s going to make it happen. Btw, his office is beautiful and so clean. It’s bright and happy. Will update with more details if it happens!

Dr. Kalan has got to be the most amazing, and compassionate doctor we’ve ever encountered. He’s realistic, funny, personable, and doesn’t give you the run-​around. He has what we call in the medical field… «awesome bedside manner»; he speaks to you like an equal, he listens to your concerns and ideas, he actually talks WITH you (not AT you), he’s truly funny and has a legitimate sense of humor, he spends time with you during appointments, and he is reachable. Whenever I have a question (most of which are typically non-urgent…ok, all of which…) the reply always comes directly from him, and within a very reasonable time frame.
We don’t live near his office. In fact, the drive there is pretty awful but there is no hesitation to make the sometimes 2 hour drive to his office for an appointment. He’s THAT good.
We’re in our early 30’s (me just having turned 30 a few months ago) and have been struggling with unexplained secondary infertility for 3 years, and we have seen other practitioners who offered us little in terms of a feasible solution… lots of «let’s try this and maybe it will work» and lots of Clomid. While we understand nothing is guaranteed, with Dr. K we are finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. We are beginning our IVF journey with Dr. K in February, and we are as confident as anyone can be in this situation.
He truly is a dream.
Update in March/​April with results!

I’m happy to update that I had a successful first round of IVF, and my husband and I are the proud parents of girl, boy, boy triplets!!!, which I delivered 3 weeks ago via c section. My husband and I want to let everyone know what an amazing doctor, Dr. Kalan is. We strongly believe that if it wasn’t for him, we would not have our family.
My husband and I struggled for 8 years of infertility.
Thank you! Dr. Kalan!!!

Dr. Kalan is an extremely caring and very good doctor. I was just informed that he is no longer with this company. Does anyone have any forwarding information they could share?

Dr Kalan is the BEST! Thanks to him… I now have a beautiful daughter. I would recommend coming here to anyone who is having problems getting pregnant. Dr Kalan was always positive and helpful. He always showed me kindness. He made me feel hopeful again when other Drs had said my situation was hopeless! Thank you Dr Kalan and staff! They are all amazing and wonderful!

Dr Kalan is awesome! He sees me when my direct awesome RE/​Ob cannot. Now he’s also coming to Bakersfield once a week to ease the commuting of us the patients. He’s bilingual, excellent Spanish, which my husband feels more comfortable with. He’s charming, positive, and very professional.

I only have great things to say about Dr Kalan and his nurses/​staff at CFG. First I’d like to mention that we started with a different fertility clinic which I was not happy with in Pasadena. They treated you like a number, just wanted your money, had no warmth or emotional presence and difficult to reach a human being via phone or email, so we left.
We were highly recommended by a few friends and current patients to CFG and to Dr Kalan for IVF. And what a difference! Even on the phone they were very informative and transparent. The staff was very accommodating to your schedule and/​or if you were running late, no problem. Easy to reach if you had questions re: prescriptions and how to administer meds etc. Dr Kalan was very warm, patient, caring and personable. The process can be emotionally and physically stressful but Dr Kalan was always available to answer our questions and provide thoughtful feedback. We felt secure in our decision to leave the previous clinic.
I highly recommend Dr Kalan and CFG for assisted fertility. I am currently pregnant and have had the best experience and care from Dr Kalan. I was sad to have graduated to an ObGyn, but we will definitely be returning for our second child!

I highly recommend Dr. Kalan to anyone seeking fertility treatment! Dr. Kalan takes the time to listen to you, explain everything and come up with a plan that is right for your family. He and his staff always make themselves available — you will get a call back same day even if it is after hours! His staff is kind, calm and compassionate. After 2 attempts of IUI with Clomid, we did a round of IUI with injections and it worked! Expecting twins in July! I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kalan — he helps to make a very difficult and emotional process as easy and comfortable as he can.

Dr. Kalan is the most amazing doctor! I cannot say enough good things about him and the staff at The Center For Fertility & Gynecology… from the women at Reception, to the Nurses, to all of the doctors, including Dr. Kalan. Dr. Kalan helped me conceive my daughter, who is almost 2 years old and he also helped me conceive my second child that I am now pregnant with — both through IVF. We started by trying IUI but we weren’t successful, so we then went to IVF. There have been ups and downs and joys and disappointments over the last few years with me trying to conceive and Dr. Kalan has been with me every step of the way. He is so sensitive and great at dealing with every situation. He really takes the time to talk to you and explain every detail. He has always made himself available to me, even when I had questions after hours. And he has a wonderful bedside manner. It’s easy and convenient to make appts and the staff is pleasant and sensitive to all situations. I highly recommend Dr. Kalan — I wouldn’t use anyone else!

I have only wonderful things to say about Dr. Kalan and his staff. Besides having a first time ivf success there, I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. They go above and beyond to make their patients feel supported. I was actually sad to say goodbye!

Thank you Dr. Kalan and staff! My husband and I were trying to get pregnant and not having any luck the conventional way so we decided to look into fertility clinics. We were referred to Dr. Kalan and the rest is history. He takes the time to explain the process and makes sure that you are comfortable with every step. We even took a year off to keep trying since it was confirmed we could both have children. When that again didn’t work we went back, no questions asked, and began our first round of IUI. We got very lucky and got pregnant on the first try after 3.5 years of trying. Bottom line is the staff is great, appointments are easy to make and available when you need them and Dr. Kalan is great about making personal calls and following up with results. I highly recommend Dr. Kalan and the staff at The Center for Fertility & Gynecology.

My husband and I went to Dr. Kalan and he was fantastic. He answered all of our questions and he always got back to me right away and called us that same day or next day with test results. The staff was great and they made it easy to get appointments. We are having a baby girl this August!
