Seeking Pracitioner of Eastern Medicine and MD in Pasadena/Glendale/Burbank Area

Hi - My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over 1 year now. We've been through one cycle of IUI, and are interested in finding a practitioner who integrates traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture, herbs, etc.) with western fertility treatments. Thanks!

Try Dr. Barker at Paracelsus in Pasadena. He is a naturopath and his partner is an osteopath.

I am also a patient of acupuncturist Abigail Morgan, whom I adore!

Best of luck to you!

I know someone who can help for sure however he is in the WLA area but worth the drive worth the money

I was under the care of Abigail when I got pregnant (after trying for 17 months and having a miscarriage). She used to work out of a regular OB office, and is very familiar with both eastern and western medicine. VERY worth a consultation! She's right off the 134 at Central.

Hi L.,

When i was going through my fertility treatments my accupuncturist
was Dr Catherine Aquino. She is located somewhere near Toluca Lake/Universal City. She's near the forest lawn Hollywood hils area. She is awesome! Her treatments would compliment my RE's treatments. They know each other well. I love love love DrAquino.
She has many many patients under going western fertilty treatments.
She would do a treatment right before and right after my procedures.

I am a mommy of 1yr old twins now.

Hope this helps.

We went to Dr. Brian Acacio. He was in Glendale, but has since moved his practice to Laguna Niguel. I did make the drive there for my last cycle of IVF. Through him, I worked with the Eastern Center for Complimentary Medicine. Their website is www.herbalroom.com - I was treated with acupuncture and some herbal remedies. They even have practitioners that go to the clinic to do acupuncture sessions before and after the embryo transfer. I highly recommend Wendy Yu. She is fabulous, and very involved with fertility patients. Good luck to you!
