My experience with Cindy was nothing less than wonderful. While going through fertility treatments, my weekly appointments made me feel relaxed and calm. I loved how she catered each appointment to the symptoms I was experiencing at that moment. As I’ve told her repeatedly, I definitely give Cindy at least ‘partial credit’ for my wonderful one year-old daughter!
Thanks to modern Western and ancient Chinese Medicines and of course Cindy, I have 2 wonderful children. We had to undergo fertility treatments and with each one I felt confident that the treatments would work knowing Cindy was helping. The treatments were so relaxing. I always left feeling like I had just had a massage!
Three words come to mind when thinking of Cindy Lawrence; expertise, warmth and caring. I utilized Cindy as my acupuncturist when I was trying to conceive a baby. I am 1000% convinced that I would not be the parent of a beautiful baby daughter today had I not utilized a top rate physician as well as Cindy. I highly recommend her!
Cindy strives (and succeeds) in treating the whole person - consulting about diet, exercise, and emotional issues which influence the health and well-being of the patient. Needless to say, I am three weeks away from giving birth to my first child, which I am sure is in part due to Cindy’s meticulous and thoughtful care.
Cindy was recommended by a close friend struggling with infertility issues as well. She is very knowledgeable about infertility and IVF. She makes the client feel very comfortable, relaxed and informed. Cindy takes exemplary care in evaluating the client’s issue and choosing the appropriate treatment. She was a mentor and a motivator for me throughout the process of trying to get pregnant without whom I could not have done it. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone struggling with fertility issues.
