I took it with me in December, then they told me to wait until January, wait until February. We were in February they told me they didn’t have my paper work with my personal info & card info that was specifically needed to even be a patient there. The lady on the phone proceeded to tell me “we don’t have it I’m not sure where or who you gave it to” I literally filled it out inside the office. Anyways worst place ever to answer phones or schedule appointments.Fertility clinic

Called again a week later asked if I can schedule again stated no with an attitude, but this time said I should receive an email with forms to fill out and it gave me hope… well I didn’t receive them. I called this morning and Myra was extremely rude and talking over me I continued to try and explain that we are just wanting to receive an email with the paperwork and she kept saying like I said we are not taking appointments until late February… completely disrespectful and unable to even get a word through with her. I had to tell her I do not want you to get upset and continue to talk over me and I just said I would call again at another time. As a fertility doctor office they should understand our frustration and the urge to visit the clinic.Acacio Fertility (Where dreams come true).

When my husband and I took the first step of seeking help to conceive, we didn't think it would be quick; we knew it would take time. Our first meeting with Dr. Brian Acacio was incredible. He conveyed so much peace, confidence, and tranquility; from that moment, we knew we were in good hands. When we started treatment, wow, less than a month had passed, and we were already expecting a baby. Today, we're 12 weeks along, happy and grateful to these wonderful people we met along the way. It's not just the doctor; it's also his team, Viridiana and Mayra. Thank you for all your care and for making us feel part of the great family that is Acacio Fertility. May God continue to give you wisdom, patience, and so much love for what you do. Because sometimes you go in without hope, but you leave full of dreams. Thank you so much.The journey to parenthood hasn't been the hoped for and straightforward process my wife and I had always imagined, but, despite the multiple challenges and personal losses, we…The journey to parenthood hasn't been the hoped for and straightforward process my wife and I had always imagined, but, despite the multiple challenges and personal losses, we have remained optimistic in no small part due to Dr. Acacio and his team's care. They have helped us along our journey with a genuine and empathetic bedside manner and unparalleled expertise. From both of us (and hopefully very soon a third assenting voice), thank you very much, Acacio Fertility Center.First time surrogate here.

His clinic was so kind and knowledgeable when we entered with a lot of fear and little knowledge about our options after years of infertility and loss. Some unexpected life events put our fertility journey on hold for 1.5 years and by some miracle, at almost 41 years old we got pregnant naturally! I can't tell you how thankful I am that I have been able to remain with Dr. Acacio and his amazing staff for the first Trimester of my most "successful" pregnancy yet! We are 10w3d and I just wish I could continue to be cared for by everyone at this office through my whole pregnancy!Dr Acacio and his team are exceptional!

I felt like Dr. Acaio was…I wish I had the same experience that others have mentioned, unfortunately that was not the case. I was so hopeful going into to my first appointment. I felt like Dr. Acaio was very knowledgeable and genuine during our phone consultation and finally felt we were making progress again in our infertility journey. Before making an appointment I was told over email that my insurance would cover part of the procedure that Dr. Acaio recommend, so my husband and I came in expecting to only have to pay $200. This information was confirmed again when I called and made the appointment. When I showed up to my appointment I was told by reception that I needed to pay $800. I explained no, I was told my insurance would cover part of it. She called to confirm and said that we were given incorrect information about our insurance being able to cover it. Since we were not prepared to pay that amount ($600 more than what we had been told) we had to say we couldn’t move forward. I asked about a similar procedure that I could do that was half the price and was given a recommendation by the receptionist where to go since they didn't do it at there at their clinic. Feeling defeated, my husband and I walked back to the car. I decided to walk back in and ask about other tests that were recommended and if those would be covered. As I walked back in they said that now my insurance will cover part of the procedure and I could still do it there if I wanted to. I decided to go ahead and do it. I was told however, that I would have to come back later in the afternoon. Instead of being upset about our time being wasted in the morning I decided to just be ok and go with it. I showed up to my second appointment 5 mins late, the antibiotics I had to take in the morning for this procedure gave me stomach issues and ended up making me run late (Had I been able to do the procedure as planned this wouldn’t have been an issue). I was quickly brought to a room told to “empty my bladder” and undress waste down. Here is where things went from bad to worse. I had just got done emptying my bladder and was about to undress when Dr. Acaio walked in. He yelled “You’re not even ready? First you cancel your appointment this morning and now you’re late.” As I was trying to calmly explain that I did not cancel, there was miscommunication from HIS STAFF about payment, he turned around and walked out before I could finish explaining. I thought he was walking out so I could finish preparing (not that I felt comfortable at this point but had already gone through everything to make the appointment, including missing work) but was surprised to be told that I would have to reschedule my appointment. Any doctor who thinks it is acceptable to talk to a patient that way is not someone I would want to see again. Especially a challenging journey like this. I will never step another foot in this office again. I hope no one else has to experience what I did.Acacio Fertility Center has the best fertility team in Bakersfield.

You can tell his process is completely customized to you, not a one size fits all deal. Very promising. Everyone is so professional, personable, and helpful with any questions or concerns.

Heading into our first appointment, our expectations were low given our prior experiences at other clinics. We could not have been more wrong. He thoroughly reviewed our medical history with us present, paying attention to every detail. Being physicians familiar with seeing new patients, the amount of time he spent developing a specific diagnostic and treatment plan to our case was striking.

Told my husband his sleek had low morphology, but when retested with dr Amin, his speed looked greats. The staff also promotes his own vitamins to help with his sperm quality. They were expensive when dr Amin suggested going to a vitamin store and purchase them for a lot cheaper.I hardly saw Dr. Acacio.

He gives a good song and dance about the reason for using birth control, but for those over 40 or with diminished ovarian reserve, it doesn’t really make sense.

The second round we got one embryo which did not make it to day 6.Dr. Acacio is an amazing doctor, definitely one of a kind.

He knows so much and is always trying to figure out the next step before we get there. He treats his patients like family and is very sympathetic during the most difficult times...He knows his stuff, try not to be intimidated. He really cares for his patients...Dr. Acacio is very thorough and detailed when explaining things. Always making sure we understand. He's also very kind and warm with his patients. Treats us like family.We have been with Dr Acacio and the team for a few years. He helped with our 1st miracle baby and now we are working on baby 2!

Infertility is very personal, Dr Acacio has always made us feel comfortable, any question we had has always been answered, our end goal is his end goal for us.... If I ever had a question, didn’t matter what day or time it was Dr A’s office was only a phone call away.... Any questions are welcome, if any help is needed with medication there is always someone to review in details.Dr. Acacio took my concerns seriously, as well as what I was hoping to get out of IVF.

He answered my questions, he was involved in the process, including monitoring, all along...He wasn't blithe about the failure of my IVF cycle and understood how much it had cost me (at that time, all of my funds for TTC), particularly given my aims. I do wish he'd explained the protocol a bit better, and what to expect and what the source was..Doctor Brian Acacio was a friendly upfront doctor who we really liked, but never saw after consultation.

He made us feel positive about the experience. He came highly recommended, and has a high success rate...The nursing staff is friendly but they don't call back and different offices aren't on the same page and scheduling isn't communicated... Friendly service but not fast, don't call back or make appointments in a timely matter. Will forget to schedule your next appt and expect you to be able to come the next day around their schedule. Sometimes have to drive 3 hours to other office for apptsBrian Acacio is a consummate professional and I am truly grateful for all the he did for me and for my two children! He supported me and was realistic. I feel that he went above…Brian Acacio is a consummate professional and I am truly grateful for all the he did for me and for my two children! He supported me and was realistic. I feel that he went above and beyond as my physician....He remembered my case and was emotionally present for me every time I saw him.... I had a clotting disorder and he identified it and placed me on blood thinners after my first miscarriage.... Dr. Acacio wanted to know why I had a miscarriage and identified the probable cause, when no other RE had done that.Dr Acacio spends as much time as you need to help you feel comfortable with everything that is going on with your treatment plan.

As someone who needs to know all the details, I appreciated his honesty, availability, and time. I never felt rushed and since he does do this with all his patients, it does mean he runs late frequently but I would rather wait for someone who gives me the time of day than someone who just wants to rush me out the door.The reason that I was stuck there [at Acacio Fertility Center] for three cycles was because he had us buy the three package deal--RED FLAG. His [Dr. Acacio] lab is run in a manner…The reason that I was stuck there [at Acacio Fertility Center] for three cycles was because he had us buy the three package deal--RED FLAG. His [Dr. Acacio] lab is run in a manner where it is over extended. Appointments were hours late. And phone call follow ups after negative betas--when he made them--were never the times set up. This was disheartening and maddening for working professionals.Was very knowledgeable and had confidence and skill. Never talked down to me. Was very self-assured and he [Brian Acacio] worked great with his embryologist....knows immunological…Was very knowledgeable and had confidence and skill. Never talked down to me. Was very self-assured and he [Brian Acacio] worked great with his embryologist....knows immunological issues well. The office is very busy so expect to wait ...uses Viagra suppositories (to help uterine lining)... Batches cycles. Overall I think it was a great protocol ...great staff with great bedside manners...Everyone treats you well....He got me more eggs than the other doctorsWe have used Dr. Acacio twice for 2 rounds of IVF.

We were successful each time. The minute we met in our first consultation, I was immediately comforted by his knowledge, care, and genuine concern. I knew he was the right doctor for us. He covered every concern, told us exactly what to expect, and never led us in with false hope. He was honest and trustworthy and exact in what he said and did. We love everything about Dr Acacio!Who you would meet
