What People Says About Us

"I struggled with severe allergies my whole life, and three years ago, it got so bad that my eyes were constantly red, and I had trouble breathing. After visiting many doctors with no success, I found the Zaitoun Clinic. Dr. Zaitoun’s vaccine treatment transformed my life. In just six months, my eyes and breathing returned to normal. He was the only one who could eliminate my allergy."

– Abbas Fessai

"For 20 years, I suffered from allergies every spring. Eye drops and doctors didn’t help, and I had given up on finding a solution. After my son developed similar issues, we went to the Zaitoun Clinic. Dr. Zaitoun found I had 23 types of allergies, and my son had 17. Thanks to his treatment, we are now completely healthy and free from allergies."
