Dr. Konstantin Lakeev

Founder & Certified Hirudotherapy Practitioner
I have been practising leech therapy in NE Philadelphia, PA for more than 15 years.
My journey of helping people started in 1981 when I graduated from Voronezh State Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko (the oldest medical academy in USSR and now in Russia). I believe that all my clients are unique and I see myself as an important part of their journey of fixing different health issues. My mission is to be an instrument in Creator's hands and to use my knowledge and experience for healing and helping people.
