Ryu Acupuncture Clinic, Inc. 

You are not alone! One in six Americans are affected by fertility issues, which means over seven million couples fail to conceive every month. Unfortunately, most of them will never know that Traditional Chinese Medicine can increase their chances of becoming pregnant by nearly 50% or more.

Here is a testimonial from one of our patients:

"My partner and I had been trying to get pregnant for a year- Nothing was happening and so I began infertility treatments at a clinic as well. A nurse practitioner friend of mine who'd worked in infertility clinics suggested I find an acupuncturist to optimize my chances. I found Dr. Ryu as I was impressed with his testimonials and Yelp reviews. Dr. Ryu is fantastic. I explained why I was there, also letting him know that I had some issues with digestion. Within a couple treatments, I could really tell a difference in my body's digestion! I stuck to it, and saw Dr. Ryu 1-2 times/week for 6-8 weeks and I truly believe he was a factor in my becoming pregnant! I am now in my second trimester and am looking forward to seeing Dr. Ryu again should I have any symptoms of discomfort! Also, I want to note that it was so easy to make appointments- his office is very flexible and makes sure to fit you in- and the lady at the front desk, Renie, is great- always friendly and relaxed and interested in how their patients are doing! It was a pleasure being a patient here and I have recommended Dr. Ryu to all of my friends!" - Kalli S.
