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 […]
Some background: As an undergraduate and graduate student, I majored in Psychology. “People”, as a subject, fascinated me. “People” amazed me, disappointed me, and enhanced my life. “People” could also be dangerous to themselves and others. I went to school and later interned at a time where serious personality deficits and mood disorders were treated with drugs and hospitalization. I […]
There is a common misconception around menopause that it has to be miserable for many women. The weight gain, hot flashes, headaches, insomnia, lowered sex drive, loss of hair, thinning, drying skin are just a few symptoms that women are told are quite normal during menopause. They are not uncommon by any means; but they also don’t have to be […]
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 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.
