I love spring – it’s my favorite season. Living in South Florida limits ones’ season of spring to often a few weeks – sometimes, spring lasts a few hours of even fewer days. While I readily admit these past two years have made me see and revise many things looking through the lenses of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I never thought […]
If you watch any amount of television you soon realize that in any given hour, you’re going to see a commercial for some new drug. Usually, the commercial begins by asking if you are suffering from an array of illnesses: allergies, anxiety, arthritis, constipation, depression, digestive issues, headaches, etc., etc. Then after insisting their new drug will cure you, the […]
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 […]
Heart disease is the number one death in both men and women in the United States. Every 1 in 4 deaths is from heart disease and its symptoms. There are a couple reasons that doctors report as to why health disease is such an issue. But the main reason always falls back on the state of nutritional health that Americans […]
I’ve been thinking a great deal about Spirituality lately; not in the religious sense, but spirituality in the sense of faith. I did not realize that – as much as I thought I had learned about Traditional Chinese Medicine this past year – I had neglected to learn a key piece. I believe that TCM has given me a greater […]
I have always been a fan of meditation. Through my study of Reiki and practice of Yoga, I know its importance in my life. Perhaps it my journey with Traditional Chinese Medicine and making the emotional commitment to fully accept a mind-body connection for my health that the following quote from Google resonates with me: “Meditation is not just for […]
Everyone has an “internal dictionary” of words. The contents of ones’ internal dictionary reveals a great deal about themselves. Previously, you could have scoured the “M”s’ in my internal dictionary and not found the word “moderation” in any form. For years, I have read recipes that suggested I use “leftover wine” in a particular dish – and I wondered who […]
Care Wellness Center is a great place with a wonderful staff! Everyone is always so friendly and accommodating! The doctors really care about your well being and want to help you in any way they can. I did acupuncture for about 4 months with Dr. Herbst who took an interest in getting to know me and helping! I would recommend Care Wellness Center to anyone!
I started seeing Dr. Herbst six months ago after being diagnosed with GERD. I did not want to go the route of taking meds and not fixing the problem. I did the bloodwork to find out about food sensitivities, truly amazing the difference after stopping foods that were making me sick! Of course I was getting acupuncture as well. Recently I did a comprehensive GI test, and am on a course of treatment to heal my gut. With my acupuncture, and natural medicine to heal myself I feel so much better!! I am not uncomfortable all the time and have lost weight!! When asked I am always referring people to Dr. Herbst! I believe in the natural way to help your body heal and they are wonderful at the Wellness center! If you are looking for a alternative to western medicine this is the place to go!
I have been under Dr. Landon’s care since October, 2016. In that time, his acupuncture skill and nutritional advice have helped me combat sleep issues, stress and anxiety attacks and to lose 90 pounds. Yes, it has been over a year, but his concern and support never faltered, even when I was the most hard on myself. Dr. Landon taught me to think differently, and therefore, to act differently. I can truthfully say – without any exaggeration - he and acupuncture have changed my life.
As has Dr. Zhou. Even as intern at Care Wellness Center in Margate, Florida, Dr. Zhou exhibited the same compassion and kindness demonstrated by Dr. Landon. Now a TCM doctor on staff, Dr. Zhou brings her unique skill set to an already well established acupuncture center. Dr. Zhou has augmented my knowledge of TCM – let alone shared some incredibly delicious recipes!
Both Dr. Landon and Dr. Zhou make you feel as if you are being treated by true “health-care” professionals rather than many doctors who are “disease-care” driven in their approach. Both are approachable, understanding and caring. They have my highest recommendation – and my deepest thanks.
I have been seeing Dr Robert Herbst for over six months. This has been a wonderful life changing experience. I have suffered with anxiety and insomnia for the last few years, and I do not wish to take prescription medications. I have done quite a bit of research on the side effects of the medications that my doctor wanted to prescribe. I learned that once I begin to take these medications it would have been very difficult to stop. I decided to find an alternative method to help with the problems that I was having. After I was seen by Dr Herbst, I started to feel less anxious and started to sleep better. In the last month, I have to say that I am sleeping the way I used to sleep before my anxiety/and insomnia issues started. Not only do I love the fact that I am a much more calm person and I can sleep through the whole night, I have to say that the experience that I have during the treatments is amazing!!! I feel an immediate calmness once the procedure begins. It is difficult to explain the level of relaxation that I experience for the 25 or so minutes that I am left in this dimly lit room with soothing music playing. Thank you Dr. Herbst!
I have nothing but incredible things to say about Dr. Robert and the Acupuncture staff. My husband and I were having some difficulty getting pregnant and acupuncture was recommended to me by one of my friends. I was able to get an appointment quickly and became pregnant a few weeks later. I continued (and continue!) to see Dr. Robert throughout the entire first trimester of my pregnancy and it helped me manage stress and severe nausea when I was experiencing it. I rarely had to wait and could not be happier with my experience. He comes highly recommended!
