Doctors in Israel

I am very grateful to Prof. Shimon Rochkind for my son's surgery. Professor is a highly qualified specialist, a master of his craft and just a wonderful person!

Good afternoon!!! My daughter Varya Kiseleva was born with a diagnosis of Spina Bifida. At the age of 2 months she had an operation in Moscow to excise a spinal hernia. The first months were difficult for her. The child developed normally, but after a couple of years, pain appeared in the area and the spine became curved. I started searching for a doctor who could help us. The long search was not in vain. Thank God, I found Prof. Shimon, who turned out to be not only a professional in this pathology, but also a wonderful person!!!! He gave us a chance for a normal life. After the operation (fixation of the spinal cord), we had no more pain, my daughter began to grow actively, and sensitivity appeared in her legs. She started to urinate. From the bottom of our hearts we thank Prof. Shimon Rochkind for his golden hands and kind heart!!! Thank you for being there!

Hello! My child was born with a severe anomaly of the spine dysraphism of the lumbosacral region with liquorrhea. The boy was urgently operated in Russia, but unfortunately, the operation was not without complications, pelvic organ functions were disturbed, paralysis of both legs, lack of sensitivity on the buttocks. By the age of 8 years there were worsening: pulling pains in the back and legs, curvature of the spine, deformity of the foot. MRI scans showed secondary fixation of the spinal cord. We turned for help to a wonderful doctor and person Shimon Rochkind. The operation in Israel was successful, the team led by the doctor did a jewelry and very difficult work to release all the roots of the spinal cord. After the operation the child began to feel much better, the pains were gone, my son felt his legs for the first time in the places where they were paralyzed. Now the child is happy that he has become a person with a straight back, his physical abilities have improved, he was able to verticalize and stand independently without support. Doctor, thank you very much for helping us and giving my child a chance to recover and lead an active life.

Hello! My daughter was born prematurely at term. At delivery we found out that she had a lumbar spina bifida aregta et meningoradiculoceles. On 28.11.06, the first operation in Russia "removal of a meningoradiculocele of large size 4 x 5 x 5 cm and plasty of the spinal canal defect" was performed. After the operation, monoparesis developed in the right leg: In the postoperative period on the 3rd day, divergence of the wound was noted. 'Emergency neurosonography was performed - ventriculomegaly was detected.1.12.06 second operation in Russia: "Ventriculoperitoneal shunt on the right side". 09.12.2006 was discharged. When our daughter was 9 years old, we had a repeat MRI in September 2016. Diastonotomyelia and spinal cord fixation were detected. The MRI results were sent to Israel, where Prof. Rochkind agreed to perform the surgery. Time goes on, day by day, month by month and it's been exactly one year since we had the operation, the money was raised with the help of the WorldVita Foundation. During this time a lot has changed, in addition to the fact that we have almost disappeared scoliosis, there is sensitivity in the leg, my daughter can stand on the whole foot, and before only on the heel, just increased muscle tone and the leg does not dangle like an attachment. It's like my daughter has come to life. Thank you to Prof. Shimon Rochkind, and to all the people who helped us! Health to you and your family!!!

At 3 months my son was diagnosed with Spina Bifida and in Russia we were offered to wait with the operation, as the chance for a good outcome in our case was said to be very small and that my son would be incontinent and possibly his legs would fail. I was not satisfied with this option, and I was looking for other doctors for a long time with conclusions and mrt for consultation. By chance I found a mom who was collecting money for surgery for a child with a very similar diagnosis in the foundation and found out from her about the doctor. I found more moms who had operated on their children with Prof. Rokhind and all of them as one said that he is a wonderful doctor with golden hands. We sent him the documents for consultation and in January 2015 my son was operated on in Israel. The professor is really a doctor who is not afraid to entrust the health of the child! He is a professional and works with a great team of doctors! Now my son is four years old, he runs and jumps, he has everything normal with the toilet - he is a normal child and only the scar on his back is the only thing that reminds us of the operation. We are very grateful to the professor and his whole team! Thank you very much for your hard work!

Hello, my son was diagnosed with lipomyelomeningocele, spinal cord fixation, lipoma of the spinal cord and terminal filament at the age of two. There were no visible abnormalities, my boy developed well, he started walking at the age of 10 months, there were no pelvic organ abnormalities, there was only a small fat in the lumbar region, but the doctors were not particularly worried about it. When we went for examination about this lipoma, after MRI we were given this terrible diagnosis. My legs gave out after I started researching what this diagnosis was. The neurosurgeon said that as long as there are no visible changes, it is not worth to operate, but it is better to operate after the beginning of changes to equalize the consequences after the operation. And the consequences are pelvic organ disorders, catheterization, diapers for life and legs can fall off! I was horrified by all this and started looking for information. I found Prof. Shimon Rochkind, he undertook to perform the operation and we trusted him! The surgery was performed 3 months ago, it was a complicated operation, the professor removed the lipoma and removed the fixations. The operation was performed with jewelry, not a single nerve root was damaged. Now my boy runs, plays and jumps. He is absolutely healthy! We are very grateful to the professor and his whole team! God bless you all with health and happiness!

We are from Yekaterinburg (Russia). Our son Andriusha was operated on by Prof. Shimon Rockhind at the age of 10 months. We have Spina Bifida occulta. In Russia we were not given a positive prognosis after the operation. Then we started looking for someone who could really help us. The diagnosis is scary, the consequences too. We did not give up and found and trusted Sh. Rokhind. Now we are 1 yr. 7 months. We have an absolutely healthy child, for which we are very grateful to the professor and his team.

A month ago Alexander underwent the most difficult surgery to remove a giant tumor on his spine. The situation was critical-dysfunction of pelvic organs, threatened and paralyzed legs. Professor Shimon Rochkind brilliantly coped with all these terrible problems by performing a virtuoso operation to completely remove the tumor. Now everything is on the mend, thanks to the golden hands of the professor all the functions of the body are being restored. In spite of what I have suffered, Prof. Rochkind will remain a bright spot in my life. How much good this wonderful doctor brought to people with his hard work! It should be noted that Professor Rochkind is a pleasant, attentive person with charisma, which allows the patient to feel confident in the success of treatment. I bow to you, dear Professor!

I came to the Ichilov Clinic after I had been diagnosed with hepatitis in Kazakhstan for more than 2 years - viral, autoimmune, hepatitis of unclear etiology. In fact, not a single doctor could say anything sensible, and I was diagnosed with Wilson-Konovalov, a rare genetic disease at the mention of which our doctors only waved their hands. In Ichilov Clinic I was examined in a couple of days, as a result of which my diagnosis was not confirmed. I would like to express my gratitude to the administration of the Ichilov Clinic - Yuri and Roman, who assisted in opening a visa, were attentive and systematically inquired about my condition, organized a transfer from the airport to the hotel. To Alla, who organized my stay in Tel Aviv, provided me with a local SIM card and also recommended a guide for a tourist trip in Israel. Yana, Nastya - girls coordinators, very clear and organized helped with doctor's examinations. Also Prof. E. Kazman for her professionalism, thanks to which she expressed doubts about the confirmation of the diagnosis already at the first consultation and subsequently gave a clear assessment of the causes and condition of my disease. In general, I would like to say that the administration of the clinic is very attentive and responsive.

Good afternoon! Today I fly home on 18.12.2014. Israel is a unique country. I want to give a huge thanks to the doctors of Israel, the First Medical Center of Tel Aviv, especially hepatologist Elena Kazman. She gave me hope. Thank you to all other dear doctors. I wish you health, prosperity and joy. God grant you to survive all the obstacles in such a difficult job. Thank you to the specialists of the international department for CIS patients: Yana, Roman Borisovich Goldman! The examination was at the highest level that can be expected! There is a lot of choice on the Internet about where to go for treatment abroad and I am very glad that I found myself in your hands. I was recommended by friends. Thank you!

We stayed 10 days in the First Medical Center of Israel. We received comprehensive information (diagnostics) on cardiology and oncology. The whole staff was attentive and, in our opinion, very qualified. Special mention should be made of the doctors: Tupilsky, Stefanski, Kazman, and representatives of the Center: Gorbacheva, Fishman. Grigory Friedman.

I am satisfied with the work of the administration of the company. Thank you for your work, participation in my health problems. I will recommend my friends to seek help at your medical center.

Prof. Moti is not only a wonderful doctor but also very friendly, always attentive to his patients and a pleasure to talk to.

Professor Mordechai was my doctor when I had a tumor on my ovary removed. I am only 30 and of course wanted to preserve fertility. I read that Goldenberg is the best surgeon. The surgery was successful using a robot, which ensures cleanliness and quick rehabilitation. I am happy.

Professor Goldenberg is one of the most professional and best doctors in Israel.... He treated me personally and successfully and it changed my life. Good luck, Moti, on your future professional path.

Professor Goldenberg diagnosed me with vaginal cancer by suggesting a biopsy at my first consultation. I had had this problem for many years and had been treated with yeast medication and antibiotics. He offered me nothing but a biopsy which showed cancer. I really appreciate Dr. Goldenberg's approach to diagnosis.

Thank you to the entire staff of Ichilov Hospital and all the doctors who took part in my surgery. I was undergoing knee endoprosthesis. The most important measure of success for me was that I was able to walk a week after the surgery and I felt more confident every day. I was happy to go home on my own legs and surprise my loved ones. I really liked the service in Israel, everyone was very caring and of course the professionalism of the doctors was amazing. Thank you very much.

I want to leave our review for those people who need medical care in Israel.... First Medical Center of Tel Aviv - a wonderful center, very friendly great staff, senior and middle staff, as a selection of all, attentive attitude as from close people!

Before Israel was in many clinics. From all our family bow to you, and most importantly, of course, the head of the department of neuro-radiology Dr. Maimoni, ENT doctor Avi Hefetz. WONDER-DOCTOR! Unique doctors surgeons, amazingly simple people, optimists, absolutely confident in the successful outcome of everything they undertake and inspire unconditional trust, recovery to their patients!

The doctor is absolutely amazing! Very thorough, has deep knowledge and understanding, and most importantly, she is an incredible person. I have never met a doctor like her. She embodies everything we envision when we think of a doctor.

12/03/2019

I want to share my experience of treating joint pain in Israel, where I was lucky enough to get to Dr. Daphne Paran. I will say at once that the doctor herself is a real professional. Daphne Paran carefully listened to all my complaints, conducted a detailed diagnosis and prescribed treatment, which really helped. After a couple of weeks I felt a significant improvement, the pain became less, and my general well-being improved. The doctor was always in touch, explained every detail and supported me at every stage.

But I can't help but note one thing that disappointed me a little - it was the organization of the medical center itself. Waiting in line before the appointment was quite long, and despite the fact that the appointment was for a specific time, I waited for more than an hour. Plus, the medical staff at the reception was not very friendly, it felt like they were overloaded.

However, if we talk about the treatment - I am very satisfied. Dr. Paran is a wonderful specialist and I am glad that I entrusted my health to her.

27/07/2021

Thank you so much to Dr. Daphne Paran for her attention and professionalism! I had been suffering from joint pain for a long time, but after treatment with her my condition improved significantly. She was very competent, explained all the details of the treatment and was always on call if I had any questions. I feel much better!

Thank you very much to Dr. Paran for the treatment! After a long search for the correct diagnosis, she helped me cope with my lupus. A true professional!

Dr. Gadoth, four and a half years ago, you were the person who met my father in the emergency room straight from the ambulance after a massive stroke. When I say “person,” I mean a huge heart expressing a humanity that is far from always found .... In your amazing department, you save lives and souls lost in the chaos of new and frightening situations - families accompanying patients are simply lost... There are no words to describe your generosity and kindness..... Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Annat Toledano Franco

Dear Dr. Gadoth, I don't know if you remember me (you treated my father six years ago), but I remember you. You are an important part of my memories of treating my father, the deceased. From the first day I met you, I knew you were a special kind of doctor. I knew then and I know now that you will go far. Your professionalism, moral principles, humanity and sensitivity is what is and will continue to lead you to a great future and saving lives. Good luck to you dear man.

Dear Dr. Gadot, Thank you for your accompaniment throughout your journey, for your skill and wonderful professionalism. Thank you for your dedication, commitment and attention. Best of luck to you!

A great and special person, there is no doubt you played a significant role in our journey together. I will always remember you as a sincere and genuine person with a huge heart. On behalf of my late mother, I want to thank you for everything you have done for us. I wish you all the best and keep doing your important work.
