Ayyagari Ramchandra MD

About Ayyagari Ramchandra MD

Ayyagari Ramchandra MD is a one-doctor fertility practice at 3535 San Dimas St, Suite 20, in Bakersfield, California. Dr. Ramchandra Ayyagari opened it and has run it alone since 1986, and also serves as the clinic’s lab director. That means your workup, your lab testing, and your treatment all move through a single physician rather than a rotating team.

The scope is broader than a typical small office: fertility evaluation, ovulation induction, artificial insemination (IUI), IVF-ET and GIFT, tubal reversal, recurrent pregnancy loss management, and an in-house lab for semen and sperm-function testing. The clinic is a private, physician-office practice, not a hospital-based IVF center.

About success rates, and no spin: this clinic does not report cycle data to CDC or SART. It has no registration in the SART CORS database under the doctor’s name, the practice name, or the street address, so there is no clinic-level live-birth number to quote or to compare against national figures. A national SART 2023 reference exists in our data, but comparing it to a clinic that reports nothing would mislead you, so we do not draw that comparison here. Before you commit, ask the clinic directly for its own outcome counts by age band and how they were measured; if it cannot produce any, weigh that in your decision.

Patient reviews in our data average 4.1 out of 5 across 39 ratings. The clinic lists Visa and MasterCard as accepted payment.

Accreditations & Awards

• Dual ABOG board certification: Dr. Ayyagari is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology in Obstetrics & Gynecology and subspecialty-certified in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility. His certification was granted on 12/11/1987 and is listed as valid through 12/31/2026, with continuous certification (CC Status: Yes).
• Verified against the ABOG registry: The board status above was checked on ABOG’s public certification verification, not self-reported.
• No third-party lab or clinic accreditation on file: Our sources found no CAP/CLIA laboratory listing and no JCI accreditation. The testing lab is a physician-office lab directed by Dr. Ayyagari, which is common at clinics of this size but is not an externally accredited lab in what we could verify.

Why Choose Ayyagari Ramchandra MD

• One physician, start to finish: A solo practice means the board-certified REI specialist who consults you is the same person who oversees your labs and your cycle. No handoffs.
• The physician also runs the lab: As lab director, Dr. Ayyagari personally oversees semen analysis, sperm antibody testing, and the hamster egg penetration test done in the office.
• Full treatment ladder in a small office: Basic evaluation and IUI lead up to IVF-ET and GIFT under one roof, which several single-doctor clinics cannot offer.
• Staying power in the same city: The practice has operated in Bakersfield since 1986, so it is long-established locally.
• Takes time with patients: A long-running patient review highlights detailed explanation and attention to overall health, not just the fertility complaint.

Fees & Packages

There is no published price list. The clinic’s site carries no fee figures for consultation, medication, IUI, or an IVF cycle, and our sources do not record what a quoted cycle fee includes versus what is billed separately. The only payment detail available: Visa and MasterCard are accepted. Ask for a written, itemized estimate covering the cycle fee, monitoring, lab work, medication, and any financing or insurance handling before you book.

Patient Journey

The clinic publishes no cycle-by-cycle treatment plan, so we will not invent one. What is documented is booking logistics:

• Consultation by phone: New patients are accepted; you call to set up a first consultation. Open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM; weekends are by appointment only.
• Evaluation and lab work: Baseline and sperm-function testing can be done in the office lab rather than sent out.
• Treatment: The plan and its timing are set in consultation. Stimulation days, monitoring intervals, retrieval scheduling, and transfer timing are not published anywhere in our sources, so ask the clinic for the specific schedule for your protocol.

Local Legal Framework

Ayyagari Ramchandra MD is a California practice subject to federal oversight (FDA rules on reproductive donations and infectious-disease screening) and licensure under the Medical Board of California. The clinic lists sex selection among its services; procedures of that kind are subject to applicable federal and state rules.

Our sources do not cite a specific California statute governing egg donation, surrogacy, or embryo disposition for this clinic, so we make no claims about them here. If third-party reproduction or embryo storage matters to your case, ask the clinic which California provisions it operates under and get any consent documents reviewed independently.
