What Patients Commonly Share About Their Experience at Yinstill
Across years of patient feedback and shared reflections, a few themes come up consistently:
- More than clinical care: many describe feeling steadied, supported, and held – especially during uncertainty, loss, or major transitions.
- A calm, welcoming environment: people often notice the atmosphere and the intentional pace of care.
- Feeling safe and oriented: from the physical space to how appointments unfold, patients commonly feel respected, grounded, and clearly guided.
- Whole-person support: many share that they’re met as a whole individual – not reduced to symptoms, diagnoses, or timelines.
- Relational and consistent care: patients often describe a steady practitioner relationship, with care that adapts as needs evolve.
- Shifts beyond the physical: some reflect on changes in emotional wellbeing, self-trust, and confidence in their bodies over time.
- A steady place to return to: for some, Yinstill becomes a consistent support during a particularly tender chapter of life.

My Husband and I were overjoyed when we found out we were pregnant. After months of excited anticipation, our Daughter was born and our world changed forever. I always knew that I was put on this earth to be a Mother,
20 YEAR JOURNEY COMPLETED!
Wow, I’m not sure where to begin, I think the title alone says a lot. I just wish I had learned about Spence a lot sooner. I first learnt of Spence from a flyer in the waiting room of the IVF office in the fall of 2008.
A long journey to success
My husband and I have just gone through an IVF cycle with an egg donor and we’re now looking forward to an upcoming pregnancy test. Regardless of the outcome of that test, we are still a success story and we appreciate what Spence has done for us …
Would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Pentland…
“My main goal when I approached Dr. Pentland for acupuncture treatment was to help me with anxiety and stress relief following up to and including my IVF procedure. Both of these goals were met. Dr.
I’m sure it helped in our success!
The entire experience was incredible. I highly recommend it. I really enjoyed talking with Dr Fisher about the process and learning from him. I found the treatments both before and after the transfer extremely relaxing and it was very convenient having it right next door to the OR.
After 2 Miscarriages…
After two early miscarriages and almost two years of trying for a successful pregnancy with no identifiable reason for our troubles, we decided to look into IVF and happened to come across the website for Spence.
I can do it with my own eggs!
I have suffered from infertility for a long time. I had done an IVF that went really bad. I got 14 eggs, 6 mature that 5 of them arrested the next day. I had just one very bad quality embryo to transfer and of course no pregnancy.
Good Energy
Sean’s lighthearted energy and gentle needling always have me feeling relaxed and receptive for treatment. I find myself smiling during our interactions. He’s very thorough and is always curious about how to support my cycle through acupuncture.
