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.

Our little embryo(s) will have a healthy endometrial lining to burrow into

“Ever since I have been coming to Yinstill I have noticed that my periods have really changed, they used to be scant and mostly brownish in colour and would last usually just a day or two.

My FSH level was 16…I only had one egg retrieved

2 years after having my first child we started to try for a second baby. Since the first time it happened quickly and easily we assumed it would be the same again. After 7 months of trying (and because I was 39 years old) our doctor suggested we see a specialist at PCRM and start the process to see what was going on.

There is hope…

After my wife and I tried unsuccessfully to conceive for two years, we were faced with the daunting prospect of finding out “why”? Through a series of tests it was determined that my sperm morphology was a likely culprit.

Very important to be comfortable on embryo transfer day

When I first heard about a new acupuncture service on site at PCRM, I was so glad because of a convenience. I had a really great relaxing experience on the day of embryo transfer. In my opinion,

The Roller Coaster

For me, the infertility roller coaster started on Day 1 of every cycle….the anticipation of timing things perfectly, the agonizing two week wait and the knife in my heart when I knew I wasn’t pregnant…again and again and again and again.

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.

I matter, and for so long I had forgotten that…

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,

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.

Thought I would give accupuncture a try

I found it to be relaxing and calmed me down a little. I was super nervous as not knowing what the outcome is going to be in a few weeks time especially since I have had treatment done many times and have been unsuccessful so thought I would give accupuncture a try as it is supposed to help with blood flow and all.
