Dr. Almog Ben Yaacov

Our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma last year. Dr. ben yaacov became our guiding light - he'd get down on his knees to talk to her at eye level, using stuffed animals to explain procedures. His innovative treatment protocol has given us more time with our little girl than we ever dreamed possible.

Came to Dr. ben yaacov's emergency clinic with sudden severe abdominal pain. Within hours, he'd coordinated a team, diagnosed my rare carcinoid tumor, and had me in surgery. His rapid response and surgical precision during that 6-hour operation literally saved my life that Tuesday night.

What I appreciate most about my quarterly checkups with Dr. ben yaacov is how he remembers small personal details - he always asks about my garden and my grandson's soccer games. For a breast cancer survivor, these normal conversations during routine visits make me feel like a person, not just a patient.

The complexity of my pancreatic cancer surgery required absolute precision. Dr. ben yaacov spent 11 hours in the OR performing what he later called 'biological puzzle-solving.' His post-op care was equally meticulous - he personally checked my drains at 2 AM two nights in a row.

As an 82-year-old with metastatic prostate cancer, I was terrified when referred to Dr. ben yaacov. But his gentle manner and clear explanations of my immunotherapy options gave me hope. He never rushed our appointments and even called my daughter personally to explain everything. Five months later, my PSA levels have dropped significantly.
