Your First Leech Therapy Visit: What to Expect

1. Book a free consultation
We work by appointment only. Call (267) 632-5393, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM, or send the form on our website. At the consultation the doctor asks about your condition and your health history and checks whether leech therapy is right for you.

2. The day before your session
Do not use scented soap, perfume or other cosmetics the day before your session.

3. During the session
A session lasts from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Only FDA-approved medical leeches are used.

4. A course of treatment
A typical course is 7 to 9 sessions, once or twice a week. The doctor plans the course for your condition.

5. Is leech therapy safe for me?
Leech therapy is not for everyone. Read about safety and contraindications before your visit, and tell the doctor about any health problems you have.
