The Center for Fertility and Gynecology

Dr. Vermesh and Dr. Jovanovich are both OUTSTANDING, caring and brilliant physicians. Ignore the ridiculous rants of dissatisfied people and their reviews. The doctors (and their marvelous staff!) did everything in their power to make me feel comfortable and taken care of during the entire process. I am considered a high risk pregnancy and am now expecting my first child thanks to their monitoring and care!

I have no idea where those negative reviews are coming from at all. Come for an appointment and you’ll get the vibe.
In our case, after second consecutive attempt everything worked out and we’re happy now.
Here it’s an ideal combination so rare these days: amazing doctor, great embryologist and lab and unforgettable staff. 3 out of 3.
A few things you should consider before starting your cycle (based on our experience):
— UIU is a waste of time/​money if sperm is bad
— Do PGS on all your embryos (it’s expensive, but it’s worth it)
— Transfer 2+ embryos
— Do intralipid shots right away, don’t wait.
— Do immune panel blood test to eliminate any hidden antibodies in your blood that could attack embryo.
— Do progesterone shots (don’t settle for vaginal gel or pills just cause it’s easier and painless).
Ask Dr. Vermesh about all of the above. Yes, it will add to your bill, but you knew from start it wasn’t supposed to be an easy ride. Your chances of getting pregnant and keeping pregnancy rise dramatically if you use ALL of the above options in addition to standard protocol.
Highly recommending Dr. Vermesh and his staff. Just don’t forget to keep self-​educating on the topic and monitoring your condition at all times (we called the office twice a day asking questions. it’s ok to ask questions when you don’t know something. never wait)
good luck.

I came in with my hubby to see doctor dr. Vermesh. He was so nice to us and helpful. He told us the procedures step by step the and showed as on a video what to expect. He explained things very clearly and try to help us out. He was even helping us out to look for a discount and programs to help us do a payment plain. As soon as we come in they take care of us. The staff there is really nice.

Worst team. lier, scam, dr micheal vermesh and his team just care about collecting money

I wish I could give a 0 and I should’ve sued him years ago. He used me as his guinea pig and he lied. One week after surgery I almost died thanks to Dr Michael Vermesh and because of his incompetence, I have suffered for years. Many additional surgeries all because of his huge mistake.

I saw Dr. Jovanovic for an issue not related to fertility. He was amazing, professional, honest. He took his time with me, never made me feel rushed. He helped me with an issue that other doctors didn’t even believe I had. The office staff is very professional and nice. The offices are conveniently located and beautiful.

Last week, my husband & I had our son, so, right away, I owe SUCH a debt of gratitude to Drs. Vermesh & Kalan! We live in Bakersfield & there just aren’t any local doctors who deal in advanced fertility issues. We were referred to this practice, and Dr. Vermesh, specifically, through another specialist working with my husband. What a blessing he is — decades of experience and such a caring individual. He and his staff treated us as real human beings — never just a medical protocol. As our IVF got underway, my husband & mom, who is also a doctor, would make the drive back & forth. My mom was so impressed with the level of care & concern in the staff and I was elated to find a doctor who met her high medical standards! Mid-​cycle, Dr. Kalan began serving the Bakersfield area with a weekly satellite office and what a convenient and much-​needed service that was! He is so thorough & personable to work with, as well. By the end of my first trimester of pregnancy, the staff knew My whole family and we were so sorry to have to make the switch to a local Ob– Gyn. There really isn’t another practice that can deliver like these wonderful doctors can!

My wife and I were so pleased with the professionalism and expertise of Dr. Vermesh. The treatment plan, the care and just overall pleasantness of the experience was thorough and made us feel we were the only patients. If you are in Los Angeles area and need to find the right doctor for your fertility needs. Look no further. Stop stressing yourself out and get the answers and help you need! Going through reproductive issues with your spouse is never an easy thing but thankfully, Dr. Vermesh and his staff are there to make it bearable! We are now parents to a precious daughter. Thank you Dr. Vermesh and CFG staff!

I have started IVF with Dr. Vermesh in feb 2015. Let me just say he is the most kind hearted doctor I have met in a long time. He is knowledgeable, straight forward, kind, and positive. His staff is absolutely amazing! The front desk always greets you with a big smile on their faces. Julie is such a amazing part of his staff. She has called and followed up with my many times throughout this process. Communication with Dr. Vermesh is very clear. Very stress free environment! When I had a question the dr or staff got back to me fast. My husband and I drive about 2 ½ hours away and we are so happy we found dr vermesh and his staff!

If I could give this place a 0, I would. Let me first say that Dr. Winkler is the most amazing Doctor you could ever wish for. Unfortunately, she is no longer here and clearly the professionalism left with her. She is at Pacific Fertility so anyone considering this place, don’t. Instead, go to Pacific Fertility and see Dr. Winkler.
My wife and I have been trying to have a baby and Dr. Winkler had been assisting us. When my wife started her new cycle, she called to set up an appointment only to find out Dr. Winkler is no longer there. We were able to find out quickly where she had went through a Google search. We called back to request our file be transferred. They gave her the run-​around although she let them know that she had started her cycle so it was very important her file was sent over to Pacific Fertility as the treatment needed to be started immediately. After haggling with them for a while, they agreed to have our packet ready for pickup at 10 AM the next morning.
The next morning as I was on the way to pick up the packet, my wife received a call from them stating that they will not be able to get our file ready until next week, although they slipped up and said it would only take 10 minutes to put together, but they were just waiting for Doctor approval. They would not budge.
I still showed up to request the file. Not only did I get the runaround, but the lies they told were insulting to hear. They claimed that they do all of their copies of files on Thursday (well, that’s when we made the request and they said they’d do it to be ready the next morning). Clearly, if they did all of their copies on Thursday like they stated, then why wouldn’t the file be ready Thursday evening or when they opened on Friday, as opposed to after 10 AM. They accused my wife of lying and claimed that they never said it would be ready at 10 AM nor that it only takes 10 minutes to copy the file (even though she had a VM to prove the 10 minutes comment). They refused to make a copy of the file while I was there so I was forced to leave empty handed and now my wife and her Doctor have to start the process somewhat blind without her file readily available to review. They claimed it normally takes several weeks for a requested file to be given, and we all know that is not a truthful statement.
It was very apparent that they wanted to spitefully punish Dr. Winkler from leaving, and in doing so, impede their patients that wanted to move on with Dr. Winkler. As patients, it’s important to feel comfortable with your Doctor who’s been with you the entire step of the way. It is not comfortable to start with a new Doctor halfway through your treatments. They should understand that and be sympathetic to that as opposed to reacting childishly and emotionally to a situation that has nothing to do with the patients. Instead, they acted petty, unprofessionally, and showed that they lack integrity. You cannot trust them to look out for your best interest. Looking out for your best interest as patients is the highest virtue a Doctor must have and this place fails miserably in that regard.

had a great experience during our fertility treatment. The type of Dr. I need, professional, caring, and available ²⁴⁄₇. Highly recommend him.

Very stressful experience. Though Dr. Vernesh was excellent, his staff treated me with very little care. Poor communication, follow thru & accountability. I felt like a number; no personal care or interest in creating a stress free experience. I had to place (3) late night emergency calls to Dr Vermesh due to my confusion & concern.
I highly recommend The USC Fertility Center. Excellent, caring staff who take the time to educate & empower you, inform you of all options. Very knowledgable & up to date with the latest developments in fertility since they are a prestigious university. I was in excellent care the entire time. I never had to place any emergency calls. Plus, all the facilities are located in the same office. It really makes a difference. With Dr. Vermesh, I needed to go to several facilities for tests and procedures. That created stress. It was comforting at USC with all the staff knowing my name.
My friend who introduced me to USC also had the same experience with Dr Vernesh’s staff. She’s the one who recommended USC to me.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have the lovely Dr. Winkler.
If you are an inquisitive question asker like me, you’ll love Dr. Winklers loving bedside manor, amazing patience, and supreme intelligence.
She answered all of my million questions thoroughly, and with such care.
Doing IVF was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but with her guiding me through, she made it so much easier.
She is very authentic and truly concerned for the well being of her patients.
I miss chatting with her, she’s such a delight.
The fees for the non IFV insured are reasonable, in comparison to other places.
I opted to buy my meds from Europe
because they have cheaper cost regulations there.
The meds I got worked well.
Dr. Winkler guided us through the process, so that every step of the way we felt very taken care of.
