Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) in New York, NY
Low Level Laser Therapy
What is low-level light therapy (LLLT)?
Low-level light therapy, is a treatment that promotes improved and increased mitochondria (the powerhouse of the eggs, and follicles.) As we age, mitochondrial function diminishes, and your egg quality decreases. Mitochondrial diminishment is part of aging. We provide LLLT to our female patients to enhance egg quality. Unlike some light therapy treatments, LLLT uses low levels that don’t include ultraviolet (UV) rays, eliminating the risk of skin damage that could lead to cancers. Because the light energy is kept at a low level (830nm), the effects are biochemical (similar to how plants respond to photosynthesis) instead of thermal, so there’s no overheating or damage to the treatment area. Instead, you have a growth factor response within the cells with a strengthened and improved egg quality. Fertility clinics worldwide have reported improved outcomes for patients who combine LLLT with Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) approaches like in vitro fertilization.
And significantly increase your odds of having a take-home baby.
Am I a good candidate for LLLT treatment?
If you suffer from seizures or epilepsy, are taking cortisone or steroid injections, or take any photosensitive drugs, you should not receive low-level light therapy. LLLT treatments are ideal for women who have:
- Poor egg quality
- Multiple implantation failures or miscarriage
For low-level light therapy, The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness typically schedules three treatments per week and continues three times per week until pregnancy is achieved. LLLT can be combined with acupuncture and herbal medicine, creating the most effective pathway to success.

Mike is a licensed and board certified acupuncturist as well as a board certified herbalist. He is a fertility specialist at The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.
My wife and I wanted to start a family. We tried, and we failed repeatedly. I was not an acupuncturist then and had no understanding or belief in it. That did not hold much weight with my wife. We both underwent testing and found out that I had poor morphology and poor motility, and she had anti-sperm antibodies. Nancy saw an acupuncturist and herbalist, who also convinced me to go for treatment. Three months later, Nancy was pregnant. We now have a twenty-nine-year-old, healthy, happy, and successful son. This is when I became a believer. I decided to go to acupuncture school. I went for four years for acupuncture studies and then two more years to study herbal medicine. I knew from the first day at school that I wanted to specialize in treating others who were suffering from the terrible and challenging battle of infertility. I have spent the last twenty-seven years making my dream come true by helping my patient’s dreams come true. I am so grateful for the path I chose. A life dedicated to helping others has shown me a satisfaction I would have never known. I am thankful to my wife, and I am grateful to my patients.
This experience led Mike to obtain his degree in acupuncture from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine’s New York campus and his National Board Certification in herbal medicine. Equipped with the necessary license and fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Mike studied Western medical approaches and the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine about infertility treatment. Through rigorous study and invaluable clinical experience, he developed unique acupuncture protocols and proprietary herbal formulas, tailoring them to each individual or couple seeking his assistance.
I went the natural way called Mike Berkley, even though he specializes in infertility he is a healer.
Right hand to God when I got off the table stopped itching and has not bothered me since and I was walking with almost no pain at all‼️
Berkley gave me my life back. I recommend him more than I can even say he is a true healer and a gentle , kind person who really cares‼️🙏🩵
I began seeing Mike in February of 2023. Having had previously favorable experiences with acupuncture, I wanted to do everything I could as we sought to have another child. Acupuncture is, of course, less invasive than many of the medical fertility procedures, so I really wanted to start here. As such, I wanted to see someone at the top of their game as a practitioner–and all of Mike’s reviews supported he was just that. And, I just wanted to be as efficient with my time as possible!
Mike was extremely prompt in contacting me after my initial inquiry. He worked with my schedule; and, from the get-go, I was impressed with everything. His office is beautiful–wonderfully curated to make his clients feel as relaxed as possible. Truly, you feel like you’re in a spa! And, as a practitioner, Mike is skilled–for those on the fence about acupuncture, I assure you that with Mike, there is no discomfort at all. In fact, during many of my visits, I fell asleep.
Now, I sought this practice to help me conceive. And after a few sessions (I think I had seen Mike three or four times at this point?), I thought that to be the most efficient with my time, I would see Mike while simultaneously seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE). I had my initial visit with my RE, and got the requisite bloodwork before beginning a possible journey of IUI. Well, I got a call later that day after my RE appointment that I was pregnant. So, I never actually needed to get IUI!
I then continued seeing Mike, right through my 12 week mark (I think…maybe it was a few weeks more?). Of course, things were working so well that I wanted to do everything I could to ensure my pregnancy remained both viable and healthy. I asked Mike on more than one occasion if I could continue seeing him; and, this is where his character and honesty really shined. He said this wasn’t necessary, as research doesn’t support continued visits made an impact after this point of pregnancy. Here I was, willing to spend more money at his business, and he declined. I think that speaks volumes about Mike, who he is, and the kind of honest business he operates.
Fast forward a few months, and I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy! I do not understand the nuances of the practice of acupuncture and Eastern medicine; but, I can indeed say that all it can do is help. And, I am so grateful to Mike that his work helped me grow my family! I cannot recommend him enough!

After childbirth, many new mothers experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms collectively known as postpartum conditions. Common signs include fatigue, sleep deprivation, mood swings, anxiety, depression (often referred to as baby blues or postpartum depression), and physical discomfort such as back pain and hormonal imbalances. These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, impacting a mother’s overall well-being and her ability to care for her newborn.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can provide significant relief for postpartum symptoms. Acupuncture helps by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and balancing hormones, which can alleviate mood swings and anxiety. It also improves blood flow and energy levels, helping to combat fatigue and physical discomfort. Herbal medicine, customized to each individual’s needs, can support hormonal balance, boost energy, and improve sleep quality. Together, these treatments offer a holistic approach to recovery, helping new mothers regain their strength and emotional stability during the postpartum period.
Our ‘Get Well’ Program includes 10 acupuncture visits and your own customized herbal medicine formula.
