epilepsy

We have been to see Dr. Chernuha together with my son. He has epilepsy, and recently the prescribed therapy stopped helping. Dr. Chernuha prescribed new medications, which helped to significantly reduce the number of seizures. We will see how the situation will continue, but for today it is one of the best treatment regimens that our child has had.

Erb's palsy

My baby was born with Erb's palsy, a neurological defect common in newborns. I desperately sought a neurologist for his therapy and found the name of Dr. Veronica Chernukha. She took care of my kid so well and did a great job with her treatment for about three years. I recommend Dr. Chernukha to anyone looking for a neurologist.

epilepsy

My younger brother is facing the problem of epilepsy. Without a doubt, Ihilov Clinic is an excellent choice for examinations and treatment of various diseases. The narrow specialization of doctors makes this clinic one of the best in the world. I would like to express my special gratitude to Dr. Veronika Chernuha for her professionalism and care for my brother.

neurological consultation

The doctor did a good online consultation. She explained and told me all the things. A lot of information has been clarified. Now we are preparing to go to Ichilov for further examinations.
