Combining Wisdom. Empowering Women
The Wisdom of Three Doctors
We know how hard it can be to get good advice when it comes to Women’s health and fertility. We are here to give you wisdom, facts, and expert advice from our years collaborating as fertility specialists from both Eastern and Western medical backgrounds.
We are three doctors…one “Eastern” Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine and two “Western” MD Reproductive Endocrinologists. We’ve been collaborating on patient care for almost a decade and have gained deep respect for each other’s medicine, while also learning where each approach excels and how they work together for faster results and happier patients.
Our passion is empowering and educating women on all things reproductive. We are honest and direct, but keep it approachable, like talking to your best friend. In our clinics in NYC, we’ve helped thousands of women conceive through our collaborative approach, which studies show not only improves fertility outcomes, but also improves patient health and quality of life along the way.
We are on a mission to share our knowledge in an accessible way, so women can understand their bodies and optimize their health, fertility, and pregnancies.

The Lowdown on Fertility Testing
At least once a day we get a call from a friend, a friend of a friend, or a friend of a friend of a friend (say that three times over) asking us to review their results and give them our advice. Inevitably, they are overwhelmed, frightened and often confused. “FS something, I’m not sure” and “mobility of sperm okay but appearance abnormal.” After we sort out some of the details, we are ready to break it down for them in the most basic of terms.
Seven Ways to Know If You Are Ovulating
Confirming ovulation is an essential part of any fertility work-up. It may seem basic, but without an egg, there can be no embryo! Good news is that, when women have ovulatory issues, they usually have a ton of healthy eggs just hanging out waiting to be released, and we have lots of ways to persuade those eggs to come out! We just have to see why they are being so shy and what we can do to coax them out of their shell…
