Testimonials

  • After having difficult periods for years, I was finally diagnosed with Endometriosis. My doctor told me that conceiving would be difficult. I had surgery and things cleared up and had my first baby boy. However, the endometriosis came back and we wanted to have another baby. I had the surgery again, but was not able to get pregnant like before. I heard about Dawit through a friend and started Acupuncture and Herbs. He explained to me how my body was more run down after giving birth to my first baby and that we needed to heal the endometriosis and boost the energy of the body to make conception easier. It took 5 1/2 months, but I am so happy to report that I am 4 months pregnant as of today. Thank you Dawit!!!

  • My partner and I had been trying to conceive for close to a year when we decided to try acupuncture. Dawit is a wonderful acupuncturist. During our initial consultation he carefully went over the particulars of our situation. He recommended I try acupuncture once a week for a few months. He also made recommendations on diet, herbal supplements, and some books to read on improving fertility. The acupuncture sessions were great – I felt so relaxed and centered afterward. After about 3 months we found out we were pregnant. I continued acupuncture through the first three months of the pregnancy to help with morning sickness. Now, about a year later, we have a beautiful 2-month-old baby boy.

  • I went to Dawit for fertility treatment. He is one of the few acupuncturists in this area who is certified in Oriental reproductive medicine. I am in my late 30s (39 to be exact) and knew I was facing an uphill battle so I wanted all the help I could get. I liked that Dawit not only performs acupuncture and reflexology and used herbs, but also dispenses helpful diet and lifestyle tips. He truly cares about his patients and gives each patient all the time she needs, and never rushes through treatments. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we discovered that I was pregnant! I absolutely believe that without his help we would have continued to struggle, and I am so grateful to him for helping us make our dream of becoming parents come true. I continued to see him through my first trimester to help make the pregnancy “stick.” I noticed that I had a pretty easy first trimester, with no morning sickness, and I credit Dawit’s treatments for that. I am now halfway through the pregnancy and thrilled that in a matter of months, we will meet our baby. If we decide to have a second baby, I will definitely be back to see Dawit again!
