Yesterday I received an email from a person with whom I have been friends since she was 18 years old. Suffice it to say that we are both decades older from when we first met – me having an additional decade over her. Her email saddened me, but it also illuminated a great truth for me. Seeing my success with […]
Stretching for the Win – by Susan Tretakis – Most of you are familiar with the story of Pavlov’s experiment with the dog. The definitive example of “classical conditioning”, it is why I can no longer allow myself to watch info-commercials on television at 2 and 3 in the morning. Like Pavlov’s dog, I hear the words, “This price is […]
The doctors and staff have always been extremely helpful. I started taking herbs to relieve symptoms of menopause and they have helped me tremendously. Dr. Herbst always takes the time to listen to how I am feeling. I am truly thankful to have him overseeing my treatment!
I began going to Dr. Robert Herbst in 2015 when I was struggling with unexplained infertility. He helped us conceive our beautiful little girl (which I wrote a review on previously with the timeline of that part of my story). I began going back to him again in July of 2018 as we were trying to have another baby with little success again. I was actually getting pregnant this time around but was unable to hold the pregnancies. When I met with him again, he asked me several questions and after looking at my tongue and checking my pulse, he basically told me in a nutshell that my body was in stress and I needed to take some time to reboot myself both physically and emotionally. I began doing acupuncture weekly, taking herbs again, and spending a little time each week on "me". He asked us not to try conceiving again for a couple months until he felt like I was strong enough. In late September he gave us the go ahead to try for this next cycle. We conceived our son the first week of October!!! I had really bad anxiety about losing this baby as well so I started going to him twice a week for a few weeks which really helped! I am currently almost 15 weeks pregnant and I can honestly say that both of my children were conceived because of Dr. Robert's help! I am so grateful for him and everything he has done for my family! I recommend anyone who is struggling with having a baby to go see him!
I’m so thankful this office was highly recommended to me and hope this review will do the same for you! They get you in right away, the entire staff is wonderful to be around and their care is second to none. I could not imagine this past year without Dr. Zhou, her breadth of knowledge and compassionate and caring manner. Jessica at the front desk will always great you with a kind smile and work to make appointments work with your schedule. If you are in need of care I totally believe this will be the haven you are looking for :)
Dr. Zhou and the rest of the staff were incredibly accommodating with my IVF transfer schedule. They didn't have a doctor on staff prior to my transfer appointment and completely redid their schedules in order to fit me in and make it to my transfer appointment on time. Highly recommend this practice. They truly care about their patients.
After one round of unsuccessful IVF a friend recommended accupuncture to me. I can not express how grateful I am to have found Dr. Zhou. She is a very nurturing, knowledgeable and thoughtful practitioner. She took the time to talk to me before each session to see how I was feeling and explain each step along the way. While we worked to regulate my hormone levels she was by my side throughout this tough time keeping me calm and reminding me to stay positive. After four month of herbs and treatments we tried again and are happy to report I am now pregnant. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful.
