How was your experience with Mark Kan at CCRM Orange County?
Dr. Kan was thorough, communicated clearly and made us feel confident in his care. We came to him knowing we were going to use a gestational carrier, but he carefully reviewed our history first which we appreciated. He was honest with us about our issues/odds without making us feel hopeless. We’ve seen several doctors and he has the best demeanor of all - he comes across as emphatic but still maintains his authority as your doctor.
What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Mark Kan at CCRM Orange County?
Dr Kan is wonderful. We found his office and the communication with them to be less than ideal, but we were doing all monitoring remotely so I think that made things a lot more difficult.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Mark Kan at CCRM Orange County?
Dr Kan had a wonderful demeanor. He explains everything clearly, never seems frustrated with our questions (there were many) and has a very calm presence.
Describe the protocols Mark Kan used in your cycles at CCRM Orange County and their degree of success.
We did a standard FET prep for a GC with BC, estrogen priming and progesterone support.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
Our situation was unique. We were out of town IPs with an out of town GC who only went for a medical clearance and embryo transfer and otherwise did outside monitoring. That said, the communication between the front desk, nurses and doctor left us occasionally confused. Despite this, when we went for the transfers the nursing staff were truly incredible. They were some of the kindest, most compassionate nurses I’ve had in my 3+ years of treatment.
Describe your experience with CCRM Orange County.
Overall a great clinic with a kind, intelligent doctor and caring nurses in a beautiful facility. Our one complaint was that communication was sometimes not as smooth as we feel it could have been, but I attribute a lot of that to our being out of state.
Describe Mark Kan's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at CCRM Orange County.
Dr Kan was only willing to do a single embryo transfer to GC, but we never wanted to do transfer more than one.

Dr. Kan is highly skilled and I felt I could trust him with my fertility. He was kind and funny and professional. I like that it is just him in the practice because you really develop a relationship with him, and he does everything for you. I could tell he is highly respected in the medical community by the way other doctors spoke of him...The office staff and Dr. Kan were always kind, they were always on time which showed they valued my time, everything was comfortable and clean and nice in the office, Dr. Kan was always kind and funny and responsive to my concerns...

Describe the protocols Mark Kan used in your cycles at CCRM Orange County and their degree of success.
I first froze my eggs with Dr. Kan when I was single. It was a typical treatment course - FSH injections to stimulate follicles, HCG to stimulate ovulation, and then oocyte aspiration to retrieve the eggs, with ultrasound monitoring throughout to determine timing - when the eggs were big enough but not too big. Then, later, with my husband, Dr. Kan wanted to save my frozen eggs as a backup. We did 3 IUI's, first with clomid, then with Clomid and FSH injections, they were unsuccessful. We did 2 full rounds of IVF and got pregnant with twins on our second round. Both rounds we did FSH injections, ultrasound monitoring, HCG, egg retrieval, and fresh embryo transfers. The first round there only 3 embryos that developed well, so we put in 3 at day 3. It was unsuccessful. The second round, which was successful, I did birth control pills to prepare for the cycle and acupuncture. We had 5 well-developing embryos, so we put in 2 at day 5. Both implanted and thrived, and I had fraternal twin girls!
Describe your experience with your nurse at CCRM Orange County. (Assigned nurse: I had two, April and Danielle. I know April isn't there anymore.)
The nurses were great - smart, knowledgeable, kind, responsive to questions, and worked well with Dr. Kan.
Describe your experience with CCRM Orange County.
I loved this clinic because it is small but very well organized and top of the line. Everything is really nice and seems new. I felt like I got so much attention and the top level of care. I usually only saw one other patient at my visits, and I never had to wait. It was so calm and professional. I got a good feeling whenever I went there, even through hard times.
Describe the costs associated with your care under Mark Kan at CCRM Orange County.
The IUI cycles were around 1500-3000, less without the FSH injection costs. The egg retrieval with everything was $10000, the first IVF was around $15,000, the second $13,000

We felt Dr. Kan was straight forward and gave us all the facts on what we faced and helped us feel we were in the right clinic with the right doctor. From the beginning he informed us that IVF was probably the route we would need to take with all the infertility factors we had. Although we tried a few IUI cycles, he had prepared us that the chances weren't high that we would have success with this. We did have success getting pregnant with our first round of IVF with fresh embryos but unfortunately we lost our identical twins far into the pregnancy.

Although we tried a few IUI cycles, he had prepared us that the chances weren't high that we would have success with this. We did have success getting pregnant with our first round of IVF with fresh embryos but unfortunately we lost our identical twins far into the pregnancy. After this tragedy, Dr. Kan helped us move forward, giving us recommendations on local perinatologists to see us through the next pregnancy. 6 months later, we had success once again with Dr. Kan using frozen embryos from that original IVF round. We now have healthy fraternal twin girls.
During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Mark Kan at CCRM Orange County?
Dr. Kan's office didn't feel like a bustling office with patients being herded back and forth. It had a nice, quiet environment that was so helpful as we were already stressed with our infertility issues. The staff was excellent and Dr. Kan always spent plenty of time answering our questions and helping us understand next steps in the process.
Describe your experience with the nursing staff.
The nursing staff was competent and friendly.
Describe your experience with CCRM Orange County.
The strengths of this clinic when I was a patient there was their accessibility and availability. We got in easily and quickly for our initial appointment. When you have been trying forever to get pregnant and now realize you are going to need medical assistance, you don't want to wait another month or so for an appointment. We never felt like a number and all the care I received there was top notch.

Describe your experience with CCRM Orange County.
Modern, good labs, well-oiled machine. My pediatric geneticist used it as well and conveyed that she was very satisfied with their labs especially, so I took that advice to heart. You can tell it’s not their first rodeo. The location is great. I appreciated it being right off the freeway, but allow ample time for traffic.

[Dr. Kan] Never remembered our case when we would go in to appointment and would have to retell him our info. Went to implantation and he saw us in the waiting room and walked by us and don't think he knew who we were...Menopur and follotism. This was my third cycle and my worst. Didn't produce many follicles only was able to retrieve 3 and two were fertilized. Only one to send off for testing. Miraculously the one ended up being normal and healthy. He wanted to stop the cycle bc one side was dominating for follicles but we insisted to move forward.

I was the only patient scheduled per hour. I saw dr [Mark] Kan every visit and every time. And never was rushed and always was understood and cared for very well.... I know he was very up front but very calm too. I was on a ton of medicine and he adjusted it during the cycle. He recommended us not to do two embryo transfer because I was a high risk for pcos. So wrongly transferred one embryo and ended up up with identical twins.
