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.

Dr. Flynn helped us on our journey to parenthood
I have been a patient of Dr. Erin Flynn’s for over four years. A friend recommended acupuncture as I have PCOS and was having a hard time getting pregnant, and I thought “why not”? A quick Google search led me to a clinic specializing in fertility and my instant love of acupuncture was born.
My experience with acupuncture with Lara at Yinstill has been completely life changing.
I had no idea how much I had been missing out on support until I arrived at Yinstill.
As soon as you walk in it’s a very welcoming and peaceful environment , with very kind and understanding staff.
Care during Pregnancy
Sean was wonderful with my care of my needs while I was pregnant and wanting to ensure a healthy and safe pregnancy and of course a safe delivery. Thanks for everything Sean. Baby Liv is also grateful!
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.
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,
Immediate trust in his ability as a healer
“His confident yet gentle healing technique caused me to immediately trust his ability as a healer.”
I have been a patient of Spence Pentland for approximately 3 months. I have been receiving treatment for pain and numbness in my arms.
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.
Deeply knowledgeable and sincerely caring
Deeply knowledgeable and sincerely caring, Dr. Fisher and the team at Yinstill have been wonderful.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reproductive wellness professionals.

After suffering 3 miscarriages…
I came to see Dr. Pentland at the recommendation of a friend, after suffering 3 miscarriages. I was at the lowest point in my life and feeling very depressed and pessimistic about the future. At the very first meeting,
May you be forever blessed as much as we are
Dear Spence,
After several mainful years of infertility with no answers as to ‘why’ other than my ever-increasing age, I decided to work with Dr. Pentland as a last ditch effort along with my last attempt at ivf and icsi.
Without Spence’s support, advice, encouragement and advocacy we would not be 30 weeks pregnant
My husband and I married when I was 33. We both knew we wanted to have a family, so we started trying right way. Having been on birth control pills for years, I found in the first year of trying that I had an irregular cycle.
