Client reviews
  • 30 Oct 2023, Camelia Buta

    The report is detailed, the doctor explained everything very well and answered all my questions.


  • 23 May 2023, Mariana Saskova

    Dr. Saperstein provided me with a clear assessment of my case that, according to him, could fit into neurosarcoidosis. He also added a couple reccommendations on what my doctors should do in order to diagnose it, which was very helpful. I am really thankful for his thoughts and have already forwarded them to my doctors in my country.
