I am a fan of New Years’ – not because of the party on New Years’ Eve (I don’t do, have never done, New Year Eve parties) but I like the sense of closing out one year and beginning a new year with a fresh outlook. I like to celebrate the successes of the year past – and to set […]
I’m having another one of my Western Medicine vs. Traditional Chinese Medicine moments. I am a bit annoyed, more than a bit frustrated and very angry. I’ve just been to one of the leading eye institutes in South Florida. Suffice it to say, relief, as suggested by the cheery computer who routed my call to the appointment desk, was not […]
Cancer plays no favorites; it does not discriminate among its victims. Cancer stakes its claim on anyone of any age at any time. We know more about cancer today than ever before; and yet, the disease continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. According to recent reports by the World Health Organization, cancer deaths are projected to rise […]
If Olympic medals were given for overthinking, I would definitely win the gold. In truth, I overthink my overthinking. I overthink texts and emails – wondering if I missed something, wondering what they may have meant, wondering if I miss-spoke, or miss-typed. I can overthink so much I paralyze myself into some alien frozen state. A recent post on notsalmon.com […]
By Susan Tretakis – For me and many others, next Tuesday is Yom Kippur. In English, Yom Kippur means “the Day of Atonement” and is considered the most important holiday in the Jewish faith. Yom Kippur marks the end of the 10 Days of Awe, a period of introspection and repentance that follows Rosh Hashanah. “It is believed that those […]
Who knew? This seems to be my favorite phrase lately, but especially this past week. I’ve just come back from my annual vision exam where my eye doctor checked my vision, and noticed a “slight decrease in my distance vision due to cataracts in both eyes.” Having cataracts was not a surprise to me; however, since my vision has stayed […]
Obviously, I am not superior. Some background: A very good friend of mine just returned from a three week “Culinary and Photography” travel experience she recently took through Provence, Paris and Nice, France. Eager to show off her both newly acquired French culinary arts and her photographs, she invited me and a few others to taste her new recipes while […]
Fear is my “F word”. Some background: My father was a NYC policeman, then detective, and it was his belief that he prepare his daughter for a very dangerous world. Never once did I leave the house being prepared for the worst: a flat tire, a car accident, meeting up with an escaped killer/rapist/ kidnapper/thief. Having “mad money stuck in […]
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.
If I could give Dr. Landon more than 5 stars, I would because he is the best of the best! I've been a patient of his for many years, and whether he treats me for anxiety, neck pain, or fertility, it's always the same quality care. Dr. Landon has a true gift, and I'm so grateful that I was referred to him way back when because I know, I will always walk away feeling better than when I walked in the doors. ALWAYS!
Robert the acupuncturist was fantastic. I started using him during the start of IVF process. I continued services for 4 months. He was very pleasant, professional, kind and supportive. I would definitely recommend him for your acupuncture needs. It was with his assistant the process was a success and expecting first baby girl in February 2019.
