“Despite approaching the common problem of infertility from two diametrically opposite vantage points, I have been extremely impressed not only with the quality of care Mike provides his patients but with the scientific rigor that he follows when recommending treatment plans and counseling his patients. We have been able to work together in a complementary fashion with mutual respect for each other’s expertise. I have the utmost respect for his opinion with regard to the role of western medicine in treating the causes of infertility and his understanding of the studies using traditional medicine to treat infertility of all causes.”

Associate Professor, Obstetrics and Gynecology
“I have known Mike over the last several years and have had many personal meetings with him and have found him always to be professional, kind, considerate and an expert in his field. I have looked to him over a number of years for advice in caring for our fertility patients and aiding them through their journey with reproductive difficulties.”

“Mike is truly a dedicated, concerned, caring and knowledgeable professional and … I think he brings a unique perspective to our field.”

“Mike’s reputation in the community of Oriental reproductive medicine is unsurpassed. His ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western reproductive medicine have contributed greatly to both fields of fertility treatment, and most importantly, to the patients who seek his assistance.”

“Mike has outstanding doctor-patient relationships and is extraordinarily knowledgeable in both the basic sciences and clinical medicine. His fund of knowledge in areas dealing with fertility is awesome as well as effective for patients under his care. It’s indeed an honor being in association with Mike, and he has my highest respect and support.”

“Mike is very well versed in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and he probably reads more than 90% of the active RE’s in practice. I have been very impressed with his breadth of knowledge as well as his treatment of several of my patients. He is well versed in the use of acupuncture for the treatment of infertility and has actually moved to form a separate board in the American Society of Acupuncturists to certify acupuncturists for reproductive endocrinology and infertility. In addition, he is an excellent herbalist and has a great knowledge of the subject.”
“I am also familiar with the way that he handles his consults. He takes an extensive history and performs an examination of the patient prior to prescribing any medication or performing any acupuncture procedures. This is different than most of the practitioners with which I am familiar and based upon this, I have used acupuncturists in Florida that only Mike has recommended. In addition, I have channeled some of my patients to him in New York for both acupuncture and herbal medicine therapy.”

“I have known Mike for over three years, both personally and professionally. Mike represents the epitome of the dedicated clinical practitioner. His empathetic manner puts his patients at ease even under situations of great stress. His knowledge base is extensive and he delivers compassionate care with great empathy and sensitivity to his patient’s needs.”
“Over the last three years, Mike and I have worked very closely together, both in the office setting and in educational seminars and other programs. This interaction has taught me a great deal, and has helped me to understand the importance of acupuncture and other complementary treatments in helping individuals and couples that suffer from infertility. I would also say that it has made me a better practitioner as a result. Mike is a true role model and teacher, and I truly appreciate the experiences we have shared and all that he has taught me.”
Daniel Levine, MD, FACOG
Medical Director, Hudson Valley Fertility
"Mike may be one of a kind. If not, he is certainly rare, as he limits his practice to women's health in the infertility and reproductive endocrine sphere. Though he performs non-traditional procedures, he works from a medical history taken in the mode of Western Medicine. Based on his study of Western science, he tailors his approach to the patient with a full understanding and in concert with the reproductive endocrinologist's treatment. He never insists that his way is the only solution. Of course he knows the studies which Western Medicine has done of the acupuncture approach as well. These provide a basis of the integration of the care carefully tailored to the individual patient."
