Testimonial for Dr. Maryam Mahanian

I’ve come to see Dr. Mahanian regarding fertility problem. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for quite some time and without success, it started to bother us. We decided to look into alternative medicine thinking if it works it would be a gentler, more conservative way. Dr. Mahanian treated me with acupuncture and prescribed some herbal tea as well as gave me some advice on better lifestyle and diet.  Every time I came for the treatments she always made me feel relax and forget about everything else. She is always gentle and took time to explain things and be there to answer my questions.

Because we were so eager to start a family, we tried In Vitro Fertilization. We conceived with the first cycle we tried, thanks to Dr. Mahanian whom helped us prepared my body and hormone level for the IVF treatment. I truly believe that the acupuncture treatments complement the IVF treatment and made things went smoothly. The day that I was having my embryo transfer back into my uterus was a busy Saturday which Dr. Mahanian did try to change her schedule around and accommodate me to be able to come in and get the acupuncture done before and right after the embryo transfer. (This was shown in several researches to increase the success rate of embryo implantation.)  Not only the acupuncture did help us to succeed in our pregnancy, it helped me relax and being able to cope with nervousness on such a big day!

After we’ve found out that we are finally pregnant, I still went back for acupuncture treatment through my first trimester. And I have an easy, wonderful pregnancy, with minimal morning sickness and discomfort. I believe acupuncture did balanced out my overall wellbeing. And Dr. Mahanian made me feel at ease with the treatment. It was always a pleasure to come see her and just listen to her soothing music and relax (or most of the time fell asleep) until the session was done. Plus the staffs were all very helpful.

Thank you again Dr. Mahanian.
