It has always been my earnest desire to help every person become the best that they can be; physically and spiritually. I have found that acupuncture and herbal medicine enables me to successfully fulfill this desire.

I originally became interested in Women's health as a specialty when, as an intern, I had a patient with life altering pain as a result of endometriosis. She regularly missed one to two weeks of work monthly, and was hospitalized regularly for pain and bleeding.

She had three laparoscopies. Analgesics did not help. She lived in constant misery.

I began my treatment protocol utilizing acupuncture and customized herbal formulae. Within one month of treatment she experienced minor pain only. Within three months, her pain completely subsided.

From this moment on I knew that I wanted to study and treat gynecological pathology.

My history in medicine

I have had a fascination with anatomy, physiology and pathology since I was a young boy.

While in college I studied biology, cultural anthropology and several languages.

I studied martial arts with a Shaolin monk from China. In addition to his martial arts acumen, he was also a master of qi-gong and of Chinese herbal medicine. I was amazed when I witnessed him heal shattered bones in a matter of weeks; eliminate anemia, menopausal symptoms, headaches, anxiety, and other debilitating pathologies. It was at this point that I became enamored with Chinese medicine and intent on pursuing this modality of health care.

I enrolled at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City for three intensive years. It was clear to me, however, that I would need further study with Masters in China before I would feel content to begin my clinical work here.

Immediately after graduating, I traveled to Lhasa, Tibet; where I studied internal medicine for several months with a physician of the classical Tibetan style. I then traveled to Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in China where I attended Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This medical school is analogous to an Ivy League medical school here.

I studied, for nearly a year, at the Ph.D. level; an unheard of honor for Westerners. I engaged in intensive hospital and academic course-work in gynecology and internal medicine.

Since my return from China I have maintained a busy private practice, specializing in various fields of gynecology. I have also worked at various clinics and hospitals in the New York Metropolitan area. Additionally, I have been a professor at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine for the last seven years.

For the last several years, I have been pleased to join forces with my classmate and old friend, Dr. Mike Berkley, at The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness & Women's Health. I look forward to continuing our relationship, as we combine our respective skills and expertise to offer patients the crème de la crème in alternative reproductive care and women's health. I am endlessly encouraged and inspired by the excellent results that we see consistently in treating infertility.
