Margate has a couple of the most trustworthy and reliable acupuncturists in South Florida! Dr Robert Herbst and Dr Landon Agoado are beyond reputable and they both have immaculate and sincere bedside manners, enough to make anyone feel instantly comfortable no matter how accustomed they are to acupuncture and traditional chinese medical practices.
It’s definitely worth paying them a visit – they have a very nice, new office setting (that’s also easily accessible – great location and user friendly parking), and they are both very friendly (as is their supportive office staff). Not to mention the fact that they both seem genuinely concerned for your well being which is a fresh change from most of the businesses and medical offices nowadays.
These guys know their stuff and make a great team of acupuncture physicians; I have seen them both for a variety of serious medical conditions and they work together seemlessly and very efficiently. Highly recommended!! ~ Lauren (Coconut Creek FL)
The acupuncturists at Care Wellness are AMAZING! Like many people, I was skeptical of acupuncturists and had my reservations, however after spending seven months visiting doctor’s offices, taking countless amounts of tests and medicines, doing endless amounts of research, spending thousands of dollars, depressed and frustrated, because there was no diagnosis or treatment plan, I finally found my Miracle Healer (Dr. Robert!). After two months of treatment, Dr. Robert was able to STOP my unusual pain! After trying to convince MANY doctors that I thought my birth control device was the cause of my pain, it was ONLY Dr. Robert who could confirm this for me and was able to treat me for my pain! I have been pain free for 2 months!! Dr. Robert has improved the quality of my life tremendously.
Both Dr. Landon and Dr. Robert are FANTASTIC! They are professionals, sincere, knowledgeable and have excellent bed-side-manor. When both doctors have an unusual case (as in mine), they set their “EGO’s” aside to work together as a team to help better treat their patient. Healing the patient is their top priority! I highly recommend these doctors for any aliment or sickness you are struggling with.
The office is clean and has a relaxation feel to it. The office staff is friendly, attentive and EAGER to help. They PAY ATTENTION to you and your needs, something VERY hard to find in the medical field today! You will not be disappointed with these doctors and staff. As with any treatment, please remember to be patient and allow your body to heal. In some cases, acupuncture takes a while to work, and you need to give it time, but TRY IT with these Doctors and you will not be disappointed! ~ Denise (Margate, FL)
Dr Robert Has saved my life! A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to meet him and he has been treating me with acupuncture ever since. I just had a child and was suffering from anxiety and depression. I had tried many things, but nothing was working. I had never tried acupuncture and was skeptical but decided to give it a try. He was very confident, knowledgeable and understanding of my condition and made me feel very comfortable. His bedside manner was excellent even when I was at my most fragile state, he was very kind and supportive.
I felt a difference after the very first treatment. I continued seeing him initially two times a week for the first two weeks and then once a week for another month or so. He took me out of a place that I thought I would never or could ever get out of. He is a true professional. He has changed my life for the better. He is an excellent acupuncturist that truly cares and goes above and beyond the call of duty. I am very grateful! THANK YOU ~ Jessica (Margate, FL)
Thank you, Dr Robert!!! I am totally a believer in acupuncture!!! I went from being completely depressed and my stress level was so high, that it had my blood pressure up to 160 over 100, to today feeling so much better. I didn’t have the shakes or feel like bursting into tears. I FEEL GREAT!!! ~ Cecilie (Coconut Creek Florida)
This works! I have tried all kinds of diets that didn’t work because I was always hungry. Acupuncture curbed my appetite. I eat sensibly and control my portions and I am never hungry. I have consistently lost weight and inches since I started acupuncture and the nutrition program. But the most amazing thing was that acupuncture cured my chocolate craving. I used to eat an 8-ounce bag of Hershey Kisses every day. I would panic if I didn’t have chocolate in the house. After my very first acupuncture treatment, I had no chocolate cravings. AMAZING! Thank you so much! ~ Carol (Coral Springs, Fl)
Over the years, especially into my 50’s, my weight steadily climbed. I would diet, lose 2 lbs., then gain 4lbs. back. I felt out of control. With the help of acupuncture, I achieved a kickstart to my metabolism and a balance to my body and mind. My cravings for sweet and salty foods had diminished. My 25 lb. weight loss goal was met with out stress. Thank you! ~ Valerie O. (Coral Springs, Fl)
Dr Robert, I wanted to thank you for all your help and support when I was doing IVF. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy on January 25th, 2010. He weighed 6lbs. 3 oz”. I really believe that acupuncture before IVF, and acupuncture during IVF (the before and after treatments you gave me) made the difference. ~ Ana P (Coral Springs FL)
Dr Robert, I will be stopping by today so you can meet the twins. You made it possible after two failed IVF’s. After God, you made my dream come true! ~ Emily (Lauderhill FL)
Dr Herbst is the best. I had a total knee replacement. I was scheduled to have another operation because the doctor messed up the operation. After 3 months of acupuncture with Dr Herbst the swelling no longer exists, and I can now walk without a cane. Now I will not require another operation. ~ Carl F. (Coral Springs, Fl)
Dr Robert is knowledgeable and caring. After only 5 visits I am practically pain free in my low back and sciatica. After 1 visit I felt an amazing difference and much of the pain was gone. He has also helped me resolve some minor and annoying health and digestive issues. ~ Barbara S. (Coral Springs, Fl)
I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Dr Herbst gave me 3-4 acupuncture treatments and the condition is much better. My wrist is feeling fine now. If things had continued on the same path, without acupuncture treatment, I’m sure surgery would have been in the near future. I am now a firm believer that acupuncture can solve many ailments. ~ David B. (Coral Springs, Fl)
I was suffering from a herniated disc in my neck and two herniations in my lower back which cause pain over my right shoulder and down my arm along with sciatic pain. I was taking pain meds to alleviate the pain. I started getting treatments 3 x a week with acupuncture as part of my treatment plan and I was a bit concerned because past efforts with acupuncture had no benefits. When I met Dr Herbst, we hit it off immediately because of his understanding of patient’s needs and pain relief. The acupuncture treatments I received from Dr Rob relieved a lot of the pain I was experiencing. After the first treatment more mobility came to my neck and the pain in my back, down my shoulder, and lower sciatic began to improve dramatically. I highly recommend the acupuncture offered by Dr Robert. My overall quality of life has improved. ~ James H. (Boca Raton, Fl)
I have known Dr. Robert Herbst for over 5 years, during this time I have come to know him and respect him. He has a passion for health and healing and is highly dedicated and committed to his craft. He has a deep grounding in psychology and his skill and knowledge not only with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, but also with infertility is advantageous to anyone seeking treatment. ~ Tony Willcox, AP, DOM – “Official Acupuncturist” – NHL’s Florida Panthers
I was trying to lose weight and quit smoking at the same time. I researched acupuncture for weight loss online and read a lot of reviews that were positive, so I looked up to see if there were any certified acupuncturists in the area and that’s when I found Robert Herbst. I’ve been seeing him once a week for the past month and a half and I’ve lost some pounds and a lot of inches. But the very best part is that I have less of a desire to smoke and I am much more relaxed than I have been in months. Dr Robert has been very patient and supportive throughout this whole process. ~ Deema M. (Coconut Creek, Fl)
I was experiencing attacks of TMJ. The pain in my face and jaw was unbearable. After one treatment with acupuncture the pain had dissipated. By the next day the pain was completely gone. Dr Robert really helped me so much. Thank you! ~ Anne S. (West Boca, Fl)
Dr. Robert helped me overcome a lot of discomfort stemming from carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand. After two treatments my pain had diminished, and I was able to play golf again. ~ John A. (Bronx, NY)
Wow ok now i’m a believer! I have to say that I was not always a strong believer in accupuncture but that has changed since I visited The Accupuncturists! I have had chronic knee pain for about 3 years. Some days are worse then others but I usually just pop motrin and deal with the pain. Of course my luck I go on my first vacation in a year and my knee became so inflamed i could barely walk much less relax on a beach in florida. My boyfriend receives accupuncture for his back pain and insisted I try it so we did some research and found the accupuncturist in south florida–which seemed to have a great reputation. Dr. Rob was extremely patient with me–he explained the procedure in detail. He was so knowledgable about my condition and how to treat it. What a difference from regular doctors that I’ve seen! Most either want to do surgery or pump me up with steroids!!! Dr. Rob literally perfomed “a miracle” on me! I was in agony when i walked in and made a complete 360 when i left. He made time to see me 2 more times once just to answer all my annoying questions and another to treat the inflamation and he even spent time explaining and prescribing different herbs to help me with my thyroid problem. I can honestly say having accupuncture has changed my quality of life! unfortunately i live in ny and cannot visit the clinic in south florida but i will def visit on my next vacation–i’m a true believer now! ~ Elise (NYC)
