Is the trip worth it?
We want to be honest: Philadelphia is a real trip from New York. A typical course of leech therapy is 7 to 9 sessions, once or twice a week, and each session lasts from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Before you plan anything, call for a free consultation. Dr. Lakeev will ask about your condition and health history, tell you whether hirudotherapy is right for you, and help you plan a schedule that works with your travel.
