I was admitted to the orthopaedic department in Ichilov with long-term inflammation of the shoulder that arose after an injury. Before this, I suffered at home for several years, unsuccessfully running to local doctors. In Israel, I was operated on, performing cartilage plastic surgery and restoring the previous shape on their joint.
Arthrosis was diagnosed at an early atage in Ikhilov. Now I regularly undergo treatment courses at the clinic, which help me live without pain. Thanks to the professionalism of the orthopedist, nutritionist, rehabilitation specialist and physiotherapist, I feel good.
After an accident, my sister‘s knee joint and femur in her left leg were completely broken, and most doctors gave disappointing prognoses. However, we did not accept this and, on the recommendation of friend, we went to Israel to the Sourasky Medical Center. Here we saw how doctors should work - in unity, cooperating with each other. My sister was quickly examined and operated on!. Our whole family is immensely grateful for their help, especially Dr. Ron Arbel.
During an injury, my meniscus was damaged, so they suggested surgery. I decided to get a second opinion from a doctor and contacted Professor Ron Arbel from Ichilov. After the examination he suggested doing all the necessary manipulations using special instruments, making only a few small punctures on the skin. own life. And this is how mydamaged meniscus was removed during arthroscopy. The operation went well. Recovery is fast.
I came to the Sourasky Hospital for arthroscopy of the knee joint. They cleaned the joint, after that the pain went away. I liked the clinic, attentive attitude. I was immediately given interpreters who were very nice and caring, and they were always with me - both at the doctors` office and during the procedures/
Trajik bir kazadan sonra kız kardeşimin sol bacak diz eklemi ve uyluk kemiği tamamen parçalandı ve doktorların çoğu pek umutlu değildi. Ancak pes etmedik, arkadaşlarımızın tavsiyesi üzerine İsrail'e, Sourasky Tıp Merkezi'ne gittik. Burada doktorların nasıl çalışması gerektiğini görebilirsiniz - birlikte, sıkı sıkıya bağlı, dostça. Kız kardeşim muayene edildi, ameliyat edildi - her şey çok hızlı bir şekilde! Bacağını kurtarmayı başardılar, hiçbir şeyi kesmek zorunda kalmadılar! Tüm aile, özellikle Dr. Ron Arbel'e yardımları için onlara çok minnettar.
I would like to express a huge human thank you to all the staff of the clinic - starting with the leading doctors, orthopedist Ron Arbel, dermatologist Tzvika Segal, and all the support staff. Thank you who helped in organizing the treatment the international department of First Medical Center Tell Aviv. I underwent orthopedic surgery in 2014. It’s been a week now and I am completely normal, believe me - it means a lot to know, for young people who are new to the clinic and to know that everything will go well. I recommend everyone who can not help in their CIS - come to Israel here, the First Medical Centre of Tel Aviv makes miracles.
