My husband and I were so fortunate to get a recommendation to see Dr. Winkler for fertility treatments. We came into this process thinking there's a small chance of succeeding, after reading a lot online and looking at grim statistics, and we felt pretty discouraged. Meeting with Dr. Winkler, from the very first consultation, we felt like we were in such good hands. Throughout the whole process Dr. Winkler, Maribel (our angel case manager!) and the whole team have been there for us in every step of the way, guiding with so much patience, knowledge and care, and giving us such amazing advice regarding some very heavy and confusing decisions we had to make. Every single advice turned out to be the right move in retrospect. Dr. Winkler even saved us thousands of dollars by helping us decide not to go through unnecessary medical procedures which we were considering. I can't thank her and the team enough. At the age of 40, we are so happy to say that after only one IVF cycle we got pregnant with our first embryo transfer, and currently nearing the end of the first trimester with our healthy beloved baby girl. Endless gratitude. ♥️
Only giving it 2 stars because the Dr was helpful. I had Alanna as my case worker. She was awful the entire experience. She would ignore my emails and calls all throughout the day and right at the end of the business day she would then get back to me. She would reply to my agent ASAP in the same email I initially would send. (Ex. I emailed at 9:30am and she never replied. I told my agent I still hadn’t heard from her so she jumped in the email and told Alanna to reply and within 9 minutes she then replied. But in 7.5 hours from when my email was sent she never replied.) it was like this DAILY. It was a fight to get her to reply to me about my IVF case. She took my case as a joke and never ever gave me information unless I had to pry it out of her. When asking to just talk to the Dr she told me “I don’t believe that would benefit anything”. Ultimately because of Alanna I would NEVER recommend this clinic. Awful awful experience.
My only regret with my IVF/fertility journey was not finding Dr. Kalan and the LARC team earlier. This is one of the best places for not just fertility care, but medical care in general, in LA. We started exploring our fertility options with another practice (big brand name). Something just didn't feel quite right and so I decided to look at second options. LARC was quite literally the closest office to my house, so I thought to give it a shot. Best decision I've ever made. I knew it was right when he took nearly A FULL HOUR in our initial intake call together. His thorough care did not stop there. Dr. Kalan and his team are with you every.step.of.the.way. He is caring and compassionate while extremely informative and educative. He is honest and kind, while also straightforward and professional with his recommendations. He shows up to literally every single appointment and check in. Best part - he is a real human being - and a pretty funny one at that. We so enjoyed getting to know Dr. Kalan over about 6 months of treatment together. We did two rounds of IUI which did not work, but our first IVF/ET was a success. Never once did I feel discouraged or intimidated by the journey with him. In fact, I now am trying to change the conversation away from "I hope you never have to go through IVF" to "It's incredibly empowering and an amazing option". That really is how we feel after working with LARC. I couldn't finish this review without shouting out his AMAZING support staff. Gabby, Ashley, Jen and the whole front desk team are nothing short of amazing. Never rushed, always thorough, always available to answer your questions. If Dr. Kalan is the brains behind your treatment plan and outcomes, they are the heart and soul. Go here.
