Why choose a Certified Fertility Acupuncturist?
By choosing to work with a certified Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (FABORM), you can rest assured your practitioner is well qualified and experienced in reproductive medicine.
What differentiates an ABORM certified reproductive acupuncturist from a general acupuncturist?
Advanced training in western and eastern reproductive medicine
Seeing a general acupuncturist for infertility care is like getting IVF from a family medical doctor. Specialty training ensures better patient care and results.
ABORM certified reproductive acupuncturists are trained in both eastern and western reproductive medicine. Our training in biomedicine includes reproductive anatomy, physiology, pathology and differential diagnosis as well as ART (Assisted Reproductive Therapy) procedures and medications, recurrent miscarriage and pregnancy.
We work collaboratively with MDs to ensure patients receive the best care possible
We all have the same goal: to help you conceive and have healthy babies. ABORM certified acupuncturists have a wealth of knowledge in both Chinese medicine and allopathic medicine including assisted reproductive technologies. We can guide you in understanding your lab work, diagnosis, treatment options, and work closely with your other fertility specialists to ensure that you get the very best care.
