[quote=Anonymous]I noticed the comments about Njemile Carol Jones and wanted to chime in.  I agree that I would absolutely NOT recommend her!  I went to her during my first (and only) IVF cycle.  After a very emotional journey trying to conceive, I was willing to try anything....even though I was terrified of additional "poking and prodding" and had no idea what to expect with accupuncture.  I agree with 13:34....she was pleasant on the phone and then nice during the first visit (although patted herself on the back several times for spending her own money to get thinner needles....couldn't figure out if she wanted me to reimburse her for them or what?!?!).  During the second appointment, she was rude and condescending.  I went back because I was mid-IVF cycle and wanted to stick with it (pardon the pun!).  I knew I would go to someone else the next time and had already started calling around.  During my third appt, I asked her a question and she seemed annoyed.  I apologized for being a little anxious and said that it helped me to to relax to know what she was doing/where she was putting needles etc...Her comment in a mocking/nasty tone was something to the effect of ....If you're anxious about this, how do you expect to handle being a mother?  I just remember the tears pouring down my cheeks because I was just so fragile at that point....she said nothing.  If I had to do it all over, I would have gotten up, told her what I thought of her and walked out (although I had little needles sticking out all over!)...but I was so desperate for this to work.  I also never went after that third appointment.

Fortunately, I did get pregnant during that first cycle and believe accupuncture helped....I would just go to someone else![/quote]
