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.

By the end of that day, my arm was back to normal…
I strained my arm muscle exercising and through various aggressive movements. It was so uncomfortable and sore, it was distracting me from my work, and I couldn’t lift anything. I received one treatment of acupuncture.

Variety of Treatments
I have been seeing Sean for a variety of issues for the past 6 months and he consistently provides me with great care and attentiveness. I seem to always have something that I can work on in my acupuncture sessions that changes week to week and Sean is always very flexible with my treatment.
My back feels better and my libido is higher !
I have been a patient of Dr.Pentland’s for the past 2 months. My weekly treatments are specific to lower back problems and infertility. These visits have been beneficial in helping me feel less stressed and more relaxed.
I felt more energized and better muscle recovery
Every pregnancy is different and doesn’t always come easy. This ran true for myself, when my husband and I were on a mission to add another bundle of joy to our family. I thought that since getting pregnant the first time was easy – we barely even tried – didn’t even bother with ovulation kits or tracking or anything – so naturally I thought that this time wouldn’t be any different.
The best health care experience I have ever had…
Before I saw Dr. Pentland I was always a bit wary of chinese medicine mostly due to a lack of understanding. However, now I can honestly say that it was the best health care experience I have ever had.
My successful ‘pregnancy achievement’

There’s a saying “it takes a village to raise a child”. In our case, it took a village to create a child
There’s a saying “it takes a village to raise a child”. In our case, it took a village to create a child. Well, maybe not a village, but a team of dedicated medical professionals who’s one goal was to help us create our child.
I would recommend this to anyone going through IVF
I can’t say enough about how great it was to be able to have my transfer day acupuncture completed on site at PCRM. The environment created was so soothing that I was really able to relax and clear my head.
