orthopedic surgery

My daughter and I have been to this clinic three times for leg surgery. Our attending physician - orthopedist Dr. Ethan Segev - is a Doctor with a capital letter! We are very grateful to him for his work. We have full confidence in him and his professionalism and thank Smetankina Maya for her help! Dr. Segev corrected the position of our daughter's legs, chose the right technique and correctly installed and reinstalled the plates in the knee joints in 2 years. The operations were very successful. So successfully that, for example, less than a day after the last operation, we were already discharged home! We also express our gratitude to the entire staff of the Dan Children's Department for the attention and care shown to our daughter.

hip surgery

Our daughter was not even a year old yet, and she already needed hip surgery (she has a congenital pathology). Our treatment was handled by the head of the orthopedic department of Suraski Medical Center - Segev Eitan. Thank you very much!

different leg length

My child was born with different leg lengths. The surgery was complicated, but thanks to Dr. Segev Eitan's professionalism it was successful.

Consultation before orthopedic surgery

We had a consultation with Dr. Segev Eitan. We set a surgery date for our son because one leg is shorter than the other. Hopefully, after the surgery the length of the limbs will be equalized and everything will be fine. The consultation itself was very informative. In Israel we had additional examinations and clarified some points. In general, we hope for a positive result in the future. Thank you to the doctor and see you soon.
