What treatments are available for male infertility?

The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness offers a range of effective reproductive health treatments, including Acupuncture for fertility.

Acupuncture improves blood flow to the testes, improving the delivery of oxygen, hormones, electrolytes, and nutrients. This is analogous to improving rain and sunshine on a garden which has been denied these attributes for a while. Receiving the necessary components (as listed above), can show great improvement in sperm health and live births. When combined with herbal medicine, success is greater as we are using multiple effective and beneficial factors to successfully address the issue(s).
Herbal medicine has been shown to be remarkably effective in improving sperm parameters. The professional guidance of a licensed and board certified acupuncturist and a board-certified herbalist ensures all treatments are safe and effective. The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness customizes herbal medicine to specifically address the issues of each individual patient. We are precise. We are experienced. We care.

Mike Berkley, LAc, FABORM

Mike is a licensed and board certified acupuncturist as well as a board certified herbalist. He is a fertility specialist at The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.

My wife and I wanted to start a family. We tried, and we failed repeatedly. I was not an acupuncturist then and had no understanding or belief in it. That did not hold much weight with my wife. We both underwent testing and found out that I had poor morphology and poor motility, and she had anti-sperm antibodies. Nancy saw an acupuncturist and herbalist, who also convinced me to go for treatment. Three months later, Nancy was pregnant. We now have a twenty-nine-year-old, healthy, happy, and successful son. This is when I became a believer. I decided to go to acupuncture school. I went for four years for acupuncture studies and then two more years to study herbal medicine. I knew from the first day at school that I wanted to specialize in treating others who were suffering from the terrible and challenging battle of infertility. I have spent the last twenty-seven years making my dream come true by helping my patient’s dreams come true. I am so grateful for the path I chose. A life dedicated to helping others has shown me a satisfaction I would have never known. I am thankful to my wife, and I am grateful to my patients.

This experience led Mike to obtain his degree in acupuncture from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine’s New York campus and his National Board Certification in herbal medicine. Equipped with the necessary license and fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Mike studied Western medical approaches and the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine about infertility treatment. Through rigorous study and invaluable clinical experience, he developed unique acupuncture protocols and proprietary herbal formulas, tailoring them to each individual or couple seeking his assistance.

Dr Mike Berkley has been my support system for my medical journey since the first day i started acupuncture services with his wellness centre. Mike would go an extra mile to provide medical advisory beyond services i was seeking at his centre, he created a safe space for me to open up about anything that stressed me out during my medical journey, he was always my “go to person” whenever i felt overwhelmed with my medical circumstances! The Doctor patient relationship Mike created for me as his client is amazing! I would highly recommend Mike without any hesitation!

Mike is an absolute lifesaver. Not only did he accommodate us on an urgent basis, but he did so with consistently attentive, thorough, and compassionate communication that went above and beyond my expectations. Mike’s subject matter expertise is topnotch and his sterling reputation is well deserved. 10 out of 10!

My pregnant wife received extraordinary fertility acupuncture from Mike. He has unparalleled experience and knowledge. He is a great listener and is very patient in explaining procedures. The environment is calm and professional, with meditation music playing in the background. The treatment seems to have been very effective. Highly recommended!

Mike Berkley is one of a kind. Simply put, he is a wonderful practitioner who has an incredible capacity for caring for his patients. When I first reached out to Mike, he took the time to answer all of my questions, explain things to me very clearly, and never make me feel rushed or uninformed. In his treatment sessions, he is thoughtful, thorough, caring, and always happy to have a conversation to impart more knowledge that he has amassed in his career. Mike creates a space not only for treatments but to talk about everything that is impacting your journey and he helps you learn more each step of the way. I am extremely happy to have found Mike Berkley and would highly recommend.

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.

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!!!

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.

After childbirth, many new mothers experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms collectively known as postpartum conditions.

These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, impacting a mother’s overall well-being and her ability to care for her newborn.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can provide significant relief for postpartum symptoms. Acupuncture helps by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and balancing hormones, which can alleviate mood swings and anxiety. It also improves blood flow and energy levels, helping to combat fatigue and physical discomfort. Herbal medicine, customized to each individual’s needs, can support hormonal balance, boost energy, and improve sleep quality. Together, these treatments offer a holistic approach to recovery, helping new mothers regain their strength and emotional stability during the postpartum period.
