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 Israel 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.
We came to Dr. Klepper with a diagnosis of urolithiasis in our seven year old son. The professionalism of the doctor impressed us: quick and accurate diagmosis, effective treatment. The stones were removed without surgical intervention. We are grateful for the attentive attitude and high-quality of medical care.
Wow, how lucky we were to see Dr. Roxana! My daughter (four years old) was suffering from constant urinary track 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 ten) suffered from nephrotic syndrome and we were desperate. Dr. Klepper because 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!
