Ask the Expert: Does Acupuncture Help Fertility?

Although Dr. Domar is a respected leader in the field of infertility, she is not an authority on Acupuncture - in fact she is not a licensed acupuncturist at all. She has a Ph.D. in psychology, and has done some groundbreaking studies in mind-body therapy for patients trying to conceive.

However, just because she employs Acupuncturists in the Domar Center, and because she has done a couple of studies on Acupuncture for IVF, does not make her an authority on Acupuncture or Chinese Medicine as it pertains to Infertility. It is misleading to list her as an authority for a profession that she does not hold licensure in.

Randine Lewis, Ph.D. - author of the "The Infertility Cure", or Jill Blakeway, author of "Making Babies", or Dianne Cridennda, co-author of an Acupuncture/IVF Study published in Fertility & Sterility in December, 2009, are each very qualified, and licensed Acupuncturists who are more than capable of representing our Profession as authorities on Acupuncture as it relates to Infertility, ART, and IVF.

I do hope that Fertility Authority will rectify this situation.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding my concerns raised here.

Warmly,

Dr. Rubio
