urolithiasis

We came to Dr. Klepper with a diagnosis of urolithiasis in our 7-year-old son. The professionalism of the doctor impressed us: quick and accurate diagnosis, effective treatment. The stones were removed without surgical intervention. We are grateful for the attentive attitude and high quality of medical care.

urinary tract infection

Wow, how lucky we were to see Dr. Roxana! My daughter (4 years old) was suffering from constant urinary tract infections. The doctor not only treated the current inflammation, but also helped us figure out the cause. Now we have a prevention plan and the child is healthy. Just a miracle doctor!

nephrotic syndrome

I can't hold back tears of gratitude! Our son (age 10) suffered from nephrotic syndrome and we were desperate. Dr. Klepper became a ray of hope for us. Her approach to treatment, kindness and professionalism helped to manage the disease. Now our son is in remission and we are happy!

pyelonephritis

I have recurrent pyelonephritis, my stomach already hurts from these antibiotics. Three months ago I took a course of antibiotics and now I have kidney inflammation again. I couldn't stand it and ordered a video consultation with an Israeli nephrologist. Roxana Klepper opened my eyes to my disease, gave me a lot of good recommendations, which for some reason no doctor gave me. I will be treated according to her regimen and adhere to prophylaxis.
