My young daughter became pregnant. I do believe I callee every clinic on the intwrent. I choose Women's Center because the lady answering the phone was extremly compassionate. Once in the office the counselor really spent quality time with my daughter. After a long talk we decided the heavy sedation was the way to go. It did cost a little more but was very much worth it to make sure my daughter was less nervous and comfortable during her visit. The medical staff was friendly and took the time to make sure we understood everything. The nurse in the recovery room brought me back aftee the surgery, she was knowldegable and very sympathetic to our situation. We then once again discussed birth conteol options that would fit my daughters needa. This clinic sincerely cares abouy its patients. I could noy be anymore pleased with our desicion to chooae Womens Center and Dr. Kalo, i would highly recommend this office.

I'm an older woman & needed to get an abortion. I researched all the abortion clinics in the area and I'm so glad I came to this clinic. The staff was so nice and professional. The receptionist really took the time to listen to me and never once made me feel ashamed or embarrassed. The Dr. was very informative and made sure I fully understood what was going to happen before, during and after the procedure. I paid extra for the twilight sedation and it was worth every penny! I hardly felt a thing and was sooo relaxed. I want to recovery and the Registered Nurse took very good care of me & was very friendly ( She even gave me a choice of cookies and juice!) My husband came with me and he said the dr came out and talked to him. The Dr. made sure my husband understood what care I needed when I got home. I don't normally write reviews but when the office called to check on me a few days later to see how I was and again, took the time to really talk to me I felt it was my duty to inform all the women (young ladies) that might be going through the same thing to go to the Woman's centers you will be treated with respect and dignity. RECOMMEND THIS CLINIC 110%.

My daughter and I have been patients of Dr Kalos practice for years. We always have been very satisfied with the professional and cordial treatment from the staff. We know this practice takes care of 100s of patients..we inquired about these "bad reviews" and according to the Medical Director those patients had demanding and aggressive behaviors. Which makes sense considering I've seen a few in his office with my own two eyes. Our doctor is BOARD CERTIFIED, not to mention staff there are very knowledgeable and answer ALL of your questions, not just some. Did I mention he's licensed by the state? Do your research people, you would be surprised how many doctors arent. These bad reviews are insane and I give nothing but a 5 star in my eyes.

Waited over an hour and a half to be seen for a scheduled appointment. I don't think I even saw the nurse sanitize her hands before drawing my blood. Dr. Kalo spent maybe 6 minutes total with me? Did an awful job of foreshadowing procedure. He was extremely rude when I called him the next day. He lied to me about being sued in the past. He failed to notice I was anemic from my blood work and put my health at extreme risk by recommending the procedure he did for me. Don't go to this doctor.

I've been waiting in this office for 2 hours and I still haven't been looked at!!! This is ridiculous and I'm never coming back. I'm ready to get up and leave after I got here before all these other patients. My appointment was 10:30am and I got here at 10, filled out papers and now I'm in the room and it's 12pm and I still haven't been looked at.

Bad news good news. Went to another obgyn who said I couldn't have an abortion with potential harm to me. Dr. Kalo was optimistic and everything worked out perfectly thank God. I would recommend this doctor to my friends.

I can't thank Dr. Kalo and his office enough. His bedside manner and medical knowledge were excellent and was able to make a first trimester termination less uncomfortable than a trip to the dentist. He is warm and comforting and skilled in what he does. As a physican myself I am aware of safe clean practices and he definitely was up to my standards. If you are having doubts about pain or discomfort, go with the heavy sedation and you won't feel or remember a thing.

Unfortunately I had to go see him last month to perform an abortion. I am just grateful that it is legal and there are kind doctors like him around.
