What Patients Say About Us
I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Mike Berkley. The decision to seek out his care has been a turning point in my fertility journey. I just feel better, like I have a doctor on my team. Before my conversations with Dr. Mike, I felt scared and anxious all the time. The experience Id had thus far with my fertility doctor/clinic caused me to feel uninformed, ignored, and shut out of really important information about my own body, hormones, and fertility factors. Dr. Mike took the time to really get to know everything about my health history, lifestyle, and personal history that could possibly impact my fertility. His “no stones unturned approach” felt reassuring, and also led to discoveries about deficiencies and hormonal imbalances that could be impacting my egg quality. I felt listened to, respected, cared about, and armed with information that can help me along my way. Not only that, he made it easy to get herbs shipped all the way across the country and he collaborated with my local acupuncturist, so that she could administer new needle points for me. Dr. Mike is thorough, caring, knowledgable, and so helpful. Additionally, he is a fun guy to chat with! Highly recommend.
Mike at the Berkley Center is a gift to everyone ! My wife and I have been seeing Mike for a very long time – and every session is better than the last
I am extremely grateful for everything Mike has done for me, during my first weeks of pregnancy, he was an excellent support and an extraordinary source of knowledge. He was always present whenever I had questions, both on weekdays and weekends. He followed me during my IVF treatment. I am sure that acupuncture is complementary to the process, especially at the Berkeley Center. It was a huge success. Thank you very much! Lucie
I was in agony and couldn’t walk after my booster shot for at least a year commitment I had this bizarre rash that would be bleeding when I woke up in the morning from scratching so much that no doctor could address or explain.I went the natural way called Mike Berkley, even though he specializes in infertility he is a healer.Right hand to God when I got off the table stopped itching and has not bothered me since and I was walking with almost no pain at all‼️Berkley gave me my life back. I recommend him more than I can even say he is a true healer and a gentle , kind person who really cares‼️🙏🩵
I wish I had known about the benefits of acupuncture when I first started my fertility journey. After an unsuccessful transfer, I did a deep search online and discovered a lot of women talking about acupuncture. After much research, I found the Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness and specifically gravitated here as they specialized only in fertility success. I was treated by Mike for pre-and post transfer sessions, as well as weekly sessions until I was Week 13. I am now in my 2nd trimester and miss my sessions with Mike. He is extremely knowledgeable in women’s reproductive health and has such a quirky personality, which I loved. I cannot say if acupuncture was the reason my 2nd transfer was a success, but it sure does not hurt especially while we are all hanging on to hope. If you are considering acupuncture, I highly recommend seeing Mike at the Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness!!!
I started working with Mike in December and he was incredibly kind and thorough! I can’t thank him enough for his compassion support and most importantly achieving success !!
Thank you Mike for being a part of my journey, You created a ‘safe space’ for me, physically and emotionally, whenever I felt overwhelmed and stressed out. Your cordial doctor-patient relationship is amazing! I will highly recommend you to anyone who requires your acupuncture services without hesitation.
In a world of infertility unknowns, the Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness was a welcomed constant. Mike is wonderful! My fertility doctor suggested acupuncture as a stress reliever, and acupuncture was something I could do in an unexplained infertility world I was living. I admit I was hesitant because I am not good at lying still without anything to entertain me, and meditation does not come easily for me. I soon learned to relax with Mike’s guidance and therapy. He became not just my acupuncturist but my therapist, coach and friend. I started working with Mike to increase my egg quality about two years ago. He is knowledgeable in fertility medicine, and I looked forward to our sessions. I have since “graduated” from acupuncture and can excitedly report I am in my 2nd trimester! I owe a lot to Mike!
I found Mike’s practice through his amazing Google reviews; and as such, I feel compelled to share my own. This is a long review, but I imagine that most of Mike’s clients, as I did, read all of his reviews before taking the steps to make an appointment. So, I wanted to share *all* about my amazing journey at the Berkley Center.I began seeing Mike in February of 2023. Having had previously favorable experiences with acupuncture, I wanted to do everything I could as we sought to have another child. Acupuncture is, of course, less invasive than many of the medical fertility procedures, so I really wanted to start here. As such, I wanted to see someone at the top of their game as a practitioner–and all of Mike’s reviews supported he was just that. And, I just wanted to be as efficient with my time as possible!Mike was extremely prompt in contacting me after my initial inquiry. He worked with my schedule; and, from the get-go, I was impressed with everything. His office is beautiful–wonderfully curated to make his clients feel as relaxed as possible. Truly, you feel like you’re in a spa! And, as a practitioner, Mike is skilled–for those on the fence about acupuncture, I assure you that with Mike, there is no discomfort at all. In fact, during many of my visits, I fell asleep.Now, I sought this practice to help me conceive. And after a few sessions (I think I had seen Mike three or four times at this point?), I thought that to be the most efficient with my time, I would see Mike while simultaneously seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE). I had my initial visit with my RE, and got the requisite bloodwork before beginning a possible journey of IUI. Well, I got a call later that day after my RE appointment that I was pregnant. So, I never actually needed to get IUI!I then continued seeing Mike, right through my 12 week mark (I think…maybe it was a few weeks more?). Of course, things were working so well that I wanted to do everything I could to ensure my pregnancy remained both viable and healthy. I asked Mike on more than one occasion if I could continue seeing him; and, this is where his character and honesty really shined. He said this wasn’t necessary, as research doesn’t support continued visits made an impact after this point of pregnancy. Here I was, willing to spend more money at his business, and he declined. I think that speaks volumes about Mike, who he is, and the kind of honest business he operates.Fast forward a few months, and I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy! I do not understand the nuances of the practice of acupuncture and Eastern medicine; but, I can indeed say that all it can do is help. And, I am so grateful to Mike that his work helped me grow my family! I cannot recommend him enough!
In a world where there is very little emphasis on quality of care and as patients feel nothing more than a a number, going to Mike has been a breath of fresh air. Mike views each person as unique, and treats them as such. He takes his time to thoroughly learn about his patients, and then customizes his care based on the patient. I feel like I can always pick up the phone and call him with any questions and concerns, and he’s always more than willing to provide support. I highly highly recommend going to Mike Berkley – his many decades of experience and trustworthy knowledge is so invaluable and has helped so much in every step of my journey.
Recommendations for Mike Berkley
I highly recommend Mike for his fertility, herbal and acupuncture expertise. It is my pleasure to recommend Mike Berkley regarding his skills as an acupuncturist and a healer. I’ve known Mike for many years now. I find him to be an honest, kind, and generous person that’s always there to give new and unique ideas to help people through their fertility journey and assist in the healing process of life.
Dr. Robert KiltzOwner of CNY Fertility Centers & CNY Healing Arts Centers
Mike Berkley 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.
Joe Massey, M.D
It is my pleasure to provide this recommendation of talent, capabilities, and contributions that Dr. Mike Berkley has provided to the Integrative Reproductive Medicine community. As the person that helped design and implement what was known as the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) and current co-chair person of the Integrative Reproductive Medicine program at Yo San University Mike has in so many circumstances added to our knowledge of integrative medicine in the fertility field. I have worked with him for over a decade and know that others in our field recognize the profound knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, especially in the areas of endometriosis. Mike continues to care deeply for his patient, the field of integrative reproductive medicine and the foundations of traditional Chinese medicine. He is a man that has contributed much and will contribute more.
Paul Magarelli, M.D.
I have known Mike in a professional capacity for the past six years. He is very well versed in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and probably reads more than most active REIs 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 moved to form a separate board in the American Society of Acupuncturists to certify them in REI. In addition, he is an excellent herbalist and has a great knowledge of the subject.
David Hoffman, M.D. IVF Florida
Mike Berkley 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.
Carlyle Miller, MDAssociate Dean for Student Affairs and Equal Opportunity Programs Weill Medical Cornell Medical College
Mike is a pioneer and leader in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility medicine.
