    Dr Klein got me on the right treatment and diagnosis after 8 years of ‘mystery’ illness, which had left me in a wheelchair and signed off work. Within a few days of treatment I could walk again and within a month I had returned to work. … More Now a few months on I feel stronger and healthier than I have in many years. I have no qualms in saying Dr Klein saved my life. He has been kind and responsive throughout the process and it has been great to be able to rely on and trust in a doctor again. I would recommend the Cambridge Iron Clinic to anyone with iron and/or B12 deficiency.

    Dr Klein is a very kind and competent doctor. I have been having issues with iron deficiency since many years. My main complaints were fatigue, weakness, hair fall etc but after a month of the infusion I have seen great results in all these … More areas. Furthermore, he is always there to guide and help with any further queries. I wish him all the best and would surely recommend him highly.

    After suffering with low serum ferritin levels (even after taking every iron supplement known to man), I decided to pay privately for an iron infusion. Dr Klein and his team were very approachable and informative, as I travelled down from … More Newcastle to have the procedure.The treatment itself is very straightforward and doesn't take long, but Dr Klein took extra time to explain possible causes of my iron deficiency and how it potentially linked to my hypothyroidism.After having serum ferritin of 6-20 for 10 years, my recent blood test showed I'm now 255, it takes about 6 weeks for everything to start working but I have definatley noticed an increase in my energy levels, and a decrease in breathlessness, headaches, brain fog and fatigue.If/when my levels drop again I will be returning to the Cambridge Iron clinic. I'd happily recommend this treatment to friends, family or anyone suffering with anemia.

    I’ve been to see Dr Klein at the Cambridge Iron Clinic (based within the Nuffield Hospital Cambridge) two times now, and as much as I hate that I have issues with both iron and B12 deficiency, the visits have been a pleasure.The first intravenous … More iron infusion I had in March 2023 was slightly daunting for me, but Dr Klein and the nurse immediately put me at ease, and when I came back for another infusion in February 2024 (most won’t have to come as often – I just have issues hanging onto iron!) I found it to be an absolute breeze.As well as helping me with iron infusions, Dr Klein also taught me how to self-inject B12, and so I now do this at home roughly once a fortnight. The difference to my overall wellbeing has been immense, and the improvements in my health mean that I have been able to overcome some work-related sickness issues and really get myself “out of the woods”.If you’re reading this, you probably already know that the NHS isn’t great around iron deficiency, and that the tablets they prescribe generally don’t work – Dr Klein’s treatment really does and, if you have the means to do so, I would really recommend booking in. (These are strong words from a person who lives up near Newcastle and has now travelled to the Cambridge clinic twice!)Thank you Dr Klein!

    Daughter fell ill December 2019 this resulted in slowly feeling more and more tired. We went into covid lockdown in March. Daughter then suffered with covid toes for weeks. After this the exhausted was becoming worse and worse. Prior to … More her illness, she was an elite swimmers and had been selected into the national team. During lockdown she wasn't able to swim but altered her training to a land based exercise. However, as the weeks passed she still showing signs of fatigue and struggling to exercise. She spent most of her days laying on the sofa. In July, when lockdowns were lifted, she went vack to her swim club, but she was getting dizzy, tightness and tinglibg in her arms and legs. She was becoming extremely anxious in social situations. Her health was declining, she didn't want eat, exercise, go to school. After many gp visits and blood test, which we were told were normal. We asked to see copies of her results, we could see that her iron/ferritin reading were very low. The Gps were reluctant to provide Gracie with iron tablets as although readings were low they were slightly with the acceptable parameters. We felt that her symptoms were overlooked because the numbers on her tests were slightly in acceptable range. She was bed ridden at ti's point. We insisted that the Gp provide iron tablets, which over a period of 12 months she was taken 3 ferrous fumarate tablets a day. These made very little difference.By this pont Gracie was no longer able to attend school, struggling to shower, was hair change her clothes and even eat a meal. She had lost over a stone in weight.We contacted Dr Andrew Klein, who confirmed Gracie had low Iron after seeing copies of Gracies blood test results.Although, he was not able to treat Gracie until she was 16. We waited for years for Gracie to see Dr Klien. With still no acknowledgement from our welsh NHS service that she had low Iron.Dr Klein treated Gracie for both iron and b12 deficiency.Since having her infusion she is no longer bed ridden on a daily basis is. She has started College, returned to swimming. She is still not swimming at the level she used to. She is able shower, wash her hair. She even enjoys a walk with her dog.Its imported to note, this has not been a miracle cure for Gracie and still suffers the effects of either long covid or ME/chronic fatigue. However, if we had left it in the hands of our local Gp I bear bear thinking about where Gracie would be now. She is I different child to that time.We will forever be grateful to Dr Klein and his wonderful nurse for the care support and patience they gave Gracie. She was certainly not the easiest patient to treat. Due to Gracie's extreme fear of needles. Which only goes to show how ill Gracie was and her determination to do anything to make herself feel better. I'm sure Dr Klein will always remember is experience with Gracie.We hope this review helps others and convinces people to check there own results. Gracie ferritin reading was 32ugl on 3 iron tablets and is now over 200ugl. Without a shadow of a doubt without this iron infusion she would still he bed ridden, probably suffering anorexia, due to not eating and extreme anxiety/mental health issue.She was 12 when she first became ill and 16 when treated thankfully by Dr Klein.
