Robert J. Herbst, AP, DOM, MS Clinical Psychology, Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)
With over 17 years of clinical experience, Dr. Robert J. Herbst is committed to helping patients achieve holistic health breakthroughs—just as he once did himself.
Holding a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the Miami Institute of Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from The Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine (ATOM), Dr. Herbst pairs his deep understanding of the mind-body connection with the time-tested traditions of Chinese medicine.
During his studies at ATOM, Dr. Herbst received numerous academic honors, including the prestigious Student of the Year Award (2006–2007), the Frank C. Lu Scholarship Award, and the President’s Award. He further honed his skills through a two-year internship under the esteemed Dr. Fu Di (MD China), gaining invaluable clinical experience in fertility, pain management, psychological conditions, autoimmune disease, and women’s health issues.
Dr. Herbst is nationally board certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (Diplomate in Oriental Medicine) by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and licensed to practice in Florida. Because of his dual credentials, he offers an integrative approach that addresses the roots of illness rather than merely alleviating symptoms.
